Thf Last Man Pardoned. The last
man pardoned by the President rejoices in
the name of Stephen F. Cameron, and the
only known reason why he becomes the ob
ject of the Executive clemency was to make
him a witness for the defense in the cse of
SurratL Having received Mr. Johnson's
absolution he went upon the stand. By his
evidence it appears that he is a native of
the Scate of Maryland, studied for the min
istry, and has preached several different re-
Ugions. ins moue or me uuring tue pasi
two years, as admitted by fiimself on the
cross-examination, has been exceedingly pre
carious. At times he taught languages in
France, music in London, was a Bohemian
in England", a Catholie in Canada, an Epis
copalian in America, and last, but not least,
an unpardoned rebel ud to thecommencment
ef the trial, when he was pardoned by Pres
ident Johnson, through the influeuce of the
prisoner's counsel, for the purpose of allow
ing him to testify in the case. lie1 was also
one of Morgan's guerrillas, and was connec
ted with the St.- Alban3 raider.. Very

An Important Decision. The ques
tion as to what authorit3r a teacher exercises
over his pupils was decided a few 'weeks ago
in the Montgomery county court, wherein
a teacher was sued for bastising a pupil,
with a rod lor disobedience. The Judge in
his charge to the jury, said tltut a teacher
occupied the position of Zim-iw jiare.utis to
ward his pupils while nmler his charge, and
the jury sustained his opinion, and render
ed a verdict in favor of the teacher. Order
is the first law of nature, and the teacher,
without any authority to enforce obedience,
Would be unable to correct or punish, and
thereby render the comuton school system a
mere farce. The rod is indispensable at
times in the' school.
Deserting The 'Satrap.' Grant is fast
being scratched out of Democratic books.
The Democracy were willing to swallow
Grant a few weeks ago, and the Pitlsburg
Post went so for as to recommend the dis
solution of the Democratic party, if the Re
publicans nominated him, in orer to afford
the Democracy a chance to support the ''Sa
trap." But a thorough endorsement of
Sheridan's slashing statesmanship, and a
distinct disavowal of Stanbery's views, are
pills too bitter for evert the least squea
mish of Democrats to digest. Grant has
made this endorsement and disavowed
nil 1 . it . n

In Judge Sharswood promulgated
the judicial opinion that "Greenbacks" are
unconstitutional and not a legal tender in
the payment of debts but he was then over
ruled by his colleagues on the bench. Judg
es never "go back" on their 'opinions' once
expressed and he will so decide again if
he ever gets the power. The case of Shars
wodd vs. Greenbacks is now on trial before
the whole people of the State and Shars
wood will be again over ruled by a very large
rote.
The New York Tribune makes the follow
ing good "hit." We quote : "The clamor
for additional bounties is getting contagious.
A correspondent writes to urge the claims
of the army nurses. Well, .if we once go
into the wholesale gratitude business, it is
hard to say why the patriotic women should
not come in for a share as well as the patri
otic men. Next we shall have the sutlers
and contractors."
Those who owe money on bond and mort
gage, or have payment to make of any kind,
should be careful not to vote for Sharswood
for Judge of the Supreme Court. He has
already decided, officially, that all such pay
ments must be made in gold or silver,
which at present rates of prtmium is a se
rious matter to all concerned.
Do You want to be shaved? If you do,
vote for Judge Sharswood. lie says that
National Bank Notes nnd Greenbacks are
not legal tenders, and if elected, under the
decision of himself and copperhead col
league?, they will soon be at a discount of
. of from 30 to 50 per cent.

President Johnson, on Friday last return
ed the supplemental reconstruction bill to
the House with his objections. The bill
was at once taken up and passed over the
veto by a vote of 103 to 24; and, on being
sent to the Senate, it passed that body by a
vote of 30 to G.
The following article from the N. Y. Tri
bune, frill give the reader a pretty clear idea
of the spirit in which the President's veto
Ls received by the Republican press through
out the country. The Tribune says :
In any trial of strength between Andrew
Johnson and the people, Andrew Johnson
will be overthrown. Of that he may be
sure. Yet if there is any man utterly blind
to the events of the day and alienated from
the spirit and purposes of his county, that
man is the President of the United States.
He is as far removed from sympathy with
this nation as is the Kahn of Tartary, and
further than the Emperor of Japan. In
his own land he is as a foreigner. He holds
the highest office of the Union in the the in
terest of Rebellion, and the whole aim of
his policy seems to be to substitute the de
feat of the Union for the victory to which it
is entitled. There is no man who talks more
of the Union than he, and none who now
does more to prevent its peaceful reconstruc
tion. It is his misfortune that he has for
gotten the Rebellion. Treason, to him, is
neither a crime nor a mistake ; traitors and
Rebels forfeit no rights; the secession of ten
States gives to the Government no control
over their reorganization ; Congress, repre
senting the loyal people of twenty-six States,
is powerless to prevent the rule of a minori
ty of Rebels. Yet, a few years ago Andrew
Johnson led the band of extreme men who
demanded that treason should be expiated
by death, who proposed the gallows as the
solution of all National difficulties ; and
there have been no acts as arbitrary as his
when siugly, and without consultation with
Congress, he took the whole business of
reconstruction on himself. By what mira
cle these extremes have been reconciled it is
nseless to ask ; it is enough that Andrew
Johnson, is the President of the United
States, is now the worst foe of the people
who placed him there. At peace with the
whole world, we are at war with him.
We, who put down the Rebellion, have
the right to dictate terms to conquered reb
els. Who denies the right? Not the reb
els. When they laid down their anus to
Grant, and Sherman, ar.d Sheridan, they
laid down everything. Technically, their
property, their lives were forfeited by
the laws they had offended ; but Humanity
and Christianity plead for them, and the
noble argument that mercy was but justice
conviueed their conquerors. They had sur
rendered everything, and what did the na
tion take? Their lives and liberties it gave,
their property it restored, and all that it de
manded was submission to the terms which,
tor soil'-protection, it ha.l imposed. Who
denied the riht to enforce these conditions?
Andrew Johnson. He inspired with a pas
sion of new resistance a Rebellion that was
prostrate at our feet. The fruit of his poli
cy was riot, and murder, and massacre;
fre&h hatred between the South and North ;
the long and costly delay of Reconstruction.
The nation had resolved that certain things
should be done, and they have been done,
but at what cost ? Every step that we have
taken has been over a Presidential veto ;
loyalty wherever it has advanced has found
Andy Johnson barring the way; we have
fought every battle of the war over again
with him for the enemy, till very weariness
of the struggle has given tis new strength.
He has professed his wlilingness to yield to
the decrees of the people, and again and
again the people have decreed, and repeat
edly he has refused to obey. Nothing can
teach him, and Congress, reassembled to
prevent the nulifkaticn of its laws, is again
met by the petty quibbling, the gigantic ob
stinacy of this faitnless servant. His mes
sage goes further than we thought even he
would dare to go. lie has hitherto oppos
ed the laws ; now he would defy them. If
the President should undertake to carry out
his argument he will begin a new rebellion
but, like the old Rebellion, it will be
crushed.
To the extraordinary argument wIii.-liMr.
the confederacy, therefore Congress is hound "Johnson opposes to the Supplementary Re-
to pay thervlteliUbl. 31r. Johnson evident- construction act, the Senate replied with
ly desires it to be understood that, if the contemptuous silence, and the immediate
confederacy had been a success, the debts of : passage of the bill over his veto. It is al
the rebel States would have been paid. Con- ! most unnecessary to answer his evident so
gress prevented that success from bem r phistry, though Mr. Butler ably exposed in
realized. Congress destroyed the rebel the House the pretense that the legislation
Stales. Congress, with the army and navy, of Congress in reference to Federal Courts in
crushed rebellion. Hence (insists Andrew i the South, and Constitutional Amendments.
Johnson) Congress must assume, and the j admitted the power to place the Rebel
byal men of thu country liquidate, the rebel , Sta'es under military rule. It is not with
debt, lhis is Andrew Johnson s mo
getting at the repudiation of our na
debt. If he can compel the country to as-
Mora Testimony. " .
; Last week we published an extract from
a Supreme Court decision highly compli
mentary to the judicial abifity of Hon.
Henry W. Williams, the Republican candi
date for Supreme Judge. We now clip,
from the Commercial, the following equally
complimentary testimony, which is an ex
tract from the Legal Journal, of August
1st, 1 857, in which issue the editor of the
Journal commenced the publication of what
he styled "The able opinions delivered by
"the Judges of District .Courts," in the
confidence that they would "prove fully as
" acceptable to the profession as decisions
" of the Supreme Bench, and that they will
" afford additional assurance of the high
"judicial capacity of the eminent gentlemen
"who compose the Court." After a gen
erous recognition of the abilily of Judge
Hampton, the editor says :
"Judge Williams is distinguished for a
cool, calm, unwearying earnestness, a stern
determination to see that right and justice
are done; a clear, well balanced judgment
in determining between conflicting reasons,
and grat energy in enforcing, his views of
the law upon the jury. Both manifest the
most untiring devotion to the arduous duties
of their position, and an eminent courtesy
and conciliatory demeanor towards the bar,
and at the same time strictly maintain the
dignity of the Court. Allegheny eounty
has reason to be proud of such Judges, and
it is certain that no county in this State, if
in any other State, can present a j idiciary
better qualified by character, learning, abil
ity, and integrity for a faithful and capable
discharge of its responsible and honorable
functions."
Now, to give full weight to the above tes
timony in behalf of the ability of J edge
Williams as a jurist, it must be remember
ed that the editor of the Legal Journal,
John II. Bailey, Esq., of the Pitteburg
Bar, a gentleman of fine legal attainments,
teas tfen and is now a prominent Democrat.
In view of such high Democratic testi
mony as the above, and that of Judge
Woodward in quoting Judge Williams as
high judicial authority, it ill becomes such
men as the editor of the ClcarSeld Repub
lican, and his ilk, to assert that Judge Wil
liams "has no reputation" for "legal
knowledge," but that he is "tiinply a hig
gling, close-fisted, fanatical curly-headed,
"sour-faced adventurer," whose "miud is
" largely developed with reference to negro
"equality, woman's rights, and spirit
" rappings."
Reader! which will you believe? The
unbiased testimony of Judge Woodward and
John II. Bailey, Esq., as to the qualifica
tions and ability of Judge Williams, or the
slanderous, bare-faced assertions of the
Clearfield Republican and its likes?

Repudiation the Poliey of Democracy.
It is clear now that the Democratic party
intends squarely and fairly to take ground
in favor of repudiation. We had almost
despaired of getting an expression on the
subject from the leaders of the opposition,
but it now seems that we are to be agreeably
disappointed ami that the Democratic party,
through the President, Andrew Johnson, is
to be, in fact has been, put on the record in
favor of repudiating the national debt.
With a decency which has not characterized
Mr. Johnson's other acts in favor of his
rebel upholders and applauders, he does not
declare that the national debt shall not be
paid. Mr, Johnson is fully aware such a
Veelai ation would elicit an indignant oppo
sition he never could withstand. He is sat
isfied the loyal masses are honest, and that
to pay every dollar of the national debt
every dwelling house and perch of land have
been pledged. Hence direct repudiation is
not recommended. What is urged is, that
as the Government of the United States has
annulled the rebel Stat3 governments, as
Congress with the aid of the armv and navv.
has destroyed the rebellion, put an end to 1
"Washington City Gossip.
sume the rebel debt, that load added to our
already great burden, will of course crush
the nation, and escape from repudiation will
be thus rendered impossible. Judge Shars
wood declared that our debt was illegal
that our currency was not legal. Andrew
Johnson insists that the rebel debt in leaal
that Congress must assume its liquidation.
Both Sharswood and Johnson are endorsed
by the Democratic, party. In view of this
fact, what honest man can support the
Democratic party, or any of its nominees?

A letter from Buenos Ayers says : Large
numbers of those unfortunate men and
women, beguiled from the United States to
emigrate to Brazil, begin to find their way
there. They are poor, helpless, deceived,
and are witnesses of the folly of leaving the
United States for any country under t he sun.
Deceived by runners of various kinds, and
finally enlisted in the army, is the fate of
many a poor tellow. That Brazilian scheme
(swindle) ought to be exposed.
Under Maximilian's decree, all Mexican
patriots belonging to armed bands or corps,

invader, despoiler, and assassin, is captured
and shot, the Copperhead party becomes
convuiseu witn agony.
A Kansas editor nays: "Greeley claims
that he went on Jeff. Davis' bond to allay his
soreness of feeling at being detained in pri
son long without a trial, and to produce a
kindliej- sentiment toward the North among
Southern people. Horace deserves the title
of 'Jeff. Davis' Pain Killer.' "
de of j the President's argument, but with the spi
tional fit of the message, that the country will
take issue. e pass by his flimsy logic,
but we must listen to his threats. To us
the emphatic .portions of the message are
that which insults the people by declaring
that Congress has placed twelve millions of
American citizens under a rule than which
there has been none more intolerant, and
more especial y that which refuses to exe
cute the act. His objections to the bill are
worth nothing, now that it has become the
law. He is bound to discharge the high
duties of his executive office, to the letter
and in the spirit, and we need not predict
what would be the result, should this ser
vant of the people persist in affirming " I
will not," when the Nation has again, and
we believe for the last time, commanded
" You shall."

Both Houses of Congress adjourned at
half past four o'clock, on Saturday after
noon, July 20th, to the 21 st of November
next. There was a slim attendance in each
house during the day, which fact, in the
lower branch, gave the friends of impeach
ment an opportunity to accomplish some
thing. After a spicy debate between Messrs.
Wilson, Williams and Woodbridge, a
resolution was offered requiring the J udici
ary Committee to submit the testimony ta
keu on impeachment forthwith to the House.
The vote was 57 to 45, and the absence of
the Democrats, together with a number of
Republican?, gave the iiapeachers a decided
victory. The result, however, surprised
every one, and created no little sensation
about the eapitol. Mr. Wilson, chairman
of the Judiciary, immediately summoned
the members of the Committee to their
room, where the evidence was gathered,
some of it being in large printed volumes
and other portions in huge piles of manu
script. The Committee held a brief meet
ing, and hurriedly brought the evidence in
the hall. It then wanted but a short time
of the hour of final adjournment and seem
ingly by a concerted movement on the part
of those opposed to having the testimony
submitted, the floor was occupied until the
Speaker's hammer fell announcing .the close
of the session. The committee, therefore,
had no opportunity to comply with the or
der of the House, aud the evidence was
carried back by armsfull to the committee
room. This sharp practice was not discern
ed in time, either by the committee or its
opponents fr n ne seemed to doubt that
every moment would bring the presentation
of the important documents pro forma from
the Speaker's table. The members of the
committee had even commenced to give the
representatives of the press sueh portions of
the evidence as had been printed, and there
were lively times among them as they rush
ed around calling in the copies they had
furnished. In some cases the copies were
reluctantly returned, but the committee feel
assured that none of the evidence has leak
ed out. The result seems to be that no re
port of the evidence will now be made until
the meeting of the House the last of next
November.

would have been confirmed, had not a sin

carried it over under the rule until the next
day of the session, which in this instance is
the 21st of November next. Mr. Tipton
said he would not consent to confirm any
man who would go bail for Jeff Davis. No
other objections were made.
The Contest for the Judgeship.
The supporters of Judge Sharswood are
becoming exceedingly restive and uncom
fortable t an early day in the canvass.
Placed, at the outset, on the defensive, by a
decision of their candidate, which, had not
a majority of the court been composed of
men with sounder heads and more loyal
hearts, would, so far as its influence went,
have made our currency worthless and de
stroyed all values, they have the sagacity to
perceive that the people are turnin? instinct
ively and anxiously to Judge Williams.
That Juiigj Sharswood is an able and con
scientious man does not help the matter,
but for him makes it even worse. Seeing
that his doctrine, if put in practice, would
result in disastrous consequences to every
valuable interest of our State, his election
at this time is, on that account, a thing all
the more to be deprecated. When great gifts
are employed in behalf of error, and when
error has the indorsement of men reputed
to be conscientious as well as able, the
friends of the right have all the more reason
to be vigilant. No one doubts that Long
street, Jackson, and other rebel Generals
were conscientious as well as able loaders.
Those very elements of character added to
their strength and efficiency. That they
were conscientious did not prove them to be
right or good. Their cause was bad, and
had Judge Sharswood's doctrine prevailed,
that cause would have derived incalculable
advantage at a moment when the fortunes
of the Republic were suspended in a bal
ance, and when the voice and labors of
Judge v llliams were employed, night and
day, in its behalf.
We might doubt the conscientiousness of
a Judge who, whatever his convictions, un
less he really wished to aid the rebel cause,
would, at such a moment, utter a single
word calculated to injure the future of the
Republic. We ouly know that Judge
Sharswood, at the most critical moment of
the war, went out of his way to argue from
the bench agaiu-t the federal currency. He
might have contented himself with simply
dissenting from the majority, but he chose,
being in the minority, like Vallandigham
and the pestilent tribe of which he is lead
er, to argue for false doctrine, as if no oth
er reason in the world than for sympathy
with the rebellion. In fact Sharswood seem3
to have been the Vallandigham of the
Bench, and to-day he is no more worthy of
the support of the loyal people of Pennsyl
vania lor a judicial, than Vallandigham is
for a political position. Commercial.

There is no mistaking the temper of the
people on the subject of free railroads, or
the right of any set of capitalists who hare
the money and a re financially responsible to
build a railroad, wherever they may deem
such a road necessary and where the people
want railroad facilities. We say there is no
mistaking the temper of the people on this
subject, because there has not been a candi
date for the legislature thus far nominated
For election in October next, without a sol
emn pbdge given that he urill faithfully and
always work for the passage of a free rail
road law. The people were never more in
earnest on any subject than they are on the
subject of free railroads. They want fair
competition in trade at home. They are de
termined to guard against the establishment
of monopoly in any shape. They arc con
vinced of the bad policy of allowing any cor
poration to control the resources of the
State. Hence ic is that the utmost care is
taken to exact well understood pledges on
this subject from all candidates for the Leg
islature. We confess we like the dl-position
of the people in this particular. It is a heal
thy sign of the times when the people thus
evince an interest in the details of legisla
tion anJ jealous as to the opinions aud pur
poses of those who aspire to represent them.
It is the business of the people to dictate to
their servunts, and not the right of the ser
vants to dictate to the people. Not only on
the subject of free railroads, but on all oth
er subjects of legislation, the people should
have a well defined policy, and that policy
should be clearly set before the men whoasr
pire to represent them. Telegraphs
Copperhead Tactics.
The Copperhead newspapers of the State
do not admire Judge Williams, the Repub
lican candidate for the Supreme Bench.
This was to be expected, for Judge Wiliams
stood firmly by the country during the war,
and made decisions upon test questions
which were free from the hair splitting ten
derness for rebels and traitors that distin
guished the course of some of the Democrat
ic Judges who were upon the bench during
the great struggle, and who were always
ready and anxious to help treason. One of
our country cotemporaries, in speaking of
Jud-fe W., indulges in tlie following out
burst: "He is simply a higgling, calculating,
close fisted, fanatical, curly headed, sour
faced adventurer from Yankee kind," &c,
o;c. These peculiarities of hair and counte
nance should of course-settle the question,
and no lover of his country should be ex
pected to" vote for ajudge who is a "calcu
lating" man or who has curly hair.
The manner in whit K the democratic or
gans are opening the campaign contrasts
strongly with the course of the republican
newspapers. mt one of which, so far as we
have seen, has made an unkind or disre
spectful reference to Judge Sharswood,
the Democratic candidate for the Supreme
Court. Judge Sharswood may well exclaim,
"Save me from my fi tends !" for this system
of tactics does ) im r.-istly more hnrm than
it can possibly inflict upon Judge Williams.

rpO TEACHERS AND DIRECTORS.
The Second quarter of the Normal
School, will open on Tuesday, the 30th of July.
Every teacher in the county who desires teach
ing, and especially the coming winter, should en
deavor to be in attendance, for the following
reasons : 1st We have been successful in procur
ing one of the best teachers in tne State being a
graduate of. and a teacher, for four or five years,
in the State Normal School st Millersville. 2d.
The Directors have generally resolved to pay more
to those teachers who have spent their lime and
money, this summer, in better qualifying them
selves fur their important work . 3d. The stand
ard of Certificates is yearlv raiding and unless
teachers have greatly improved they need not ex
pect as good Certificates as received last fall,
ill. All teachers must hereafter pass an exami
nation n the History of the United States and
the Theory ot Teaching. Directors in each town
ship should urge upon the teachers the necessity
and importance of Letter qualifying themselves,
for so long as we have poorly educated teachers,
so long we must have poorly conducted and back
ward schools.
The Annual District Reports, Certificates and
Affidavits from the following Districts have not
yet been received: Beccaria. Bradford. Clearfield,
Fox. Huston. Karthaus and Penn ; also the reports
from Bell and Chest. According to- law they
should have been on file, at the Department by
