CIjEARFIELD, PA., AUG. 7, 1867
TOR SUPREME JCDGE,
Hon. Henry W. Williams,
OF PITTSBCna.
The County Convention.
' Last week we published thecall for a Re
publican County Convention, to be held at
Clearfield, ou Thursday, August 15th, 1S67,
for the purpose of Dominating a county
ticket. It will be recollected that every
member of the party is entitled to a seat in
said convention, and have a voice and a 'vote
in its deliberations. And, as the election
ot Judge Williams to the Supreme' Bench
by an overwhelming majority will have a
favorable influence upon the next Presiden
tial election, it is incumbent upon the Re
publican party of this county to nominate a
full ticket, so as to secure a full vote for our
candidate for Supreme Judge, on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October next, and thus con
tribute our mite to the grand triumph which
awaits our party in 186S. Jn view of these
facts we urge all to turn out to the Conven
tion on the 15th, and nominate a ticket
composed of men of unexceptional charac
ter for honesty and business qualifications
for whom it will be an honor and a pleasure
to vote and who are fully qualified to dis
charge the duties of the important positions
for whi h they will be named, should they
be elected. - - -
S lack wate R Naviqation. The Penn
sylvania Canal Company have recently made
a survey of the canaWmd river from Harris
burg to Huntingdon, with the view of adapt
ing the Juniata to Slack water navigation.
The Lewistown Gazette thinks there is
nothing in the way to prevent this from be
ing carried out. Such a change would soon
create sterm navigation, at least for light
draught boats. At a comparatively small
expense, a channel from 50 to 100 feet wide
and from two to three feet in depth, could
be made by removing a few rocks and stones.
It may yet be done.

. Wealthy. The Clarion Banner says :
"We are informed that not less than two
' millions and a half of Government Bonds
are held by citizens of this county, demon
strating the wealth of our iron region. What
other county with the same population can
boast of such large investments in these se
curities?" And yet, we presume, Clarion
county will give a large majority for Shars
wood, the copperhead candidate for Supreme
J udge, who decided that legal tender nates
were unconstitutional, and would repudiate
these bonds if the opportunity were afforded.
It will be a good thing for the brokers
and bankers if Sharswood gets to be Judge
of the Supreme Court. The first thing he
and his Copperhead colleagues will do will
be to break down the National Banks, and
put Government bonds and notes at a ruin
ous discount. This will afford fine pickings
for the brokers, and wild cat banks, on the
old system, will start up in every city, town,
and village. Bank note lists and counter
feit detectives will be in greater demand
than ever about those timed.
Great excitement has been produced in
Chili and Peru by the report that the Span
ish squadron has again sailed for the South
American waters, and that a renewal of
hostilities may be expected. Peru is pre
paring for a vigorous resistance, and desires
to act on the aggressive, but the Chilian
Government has officially declared that it
means to carry on a defensive war only.
Having succeeded by clamor in dctermin
ing the President to remove Sheridan, the
unreconstructed have undertaken to ha"e
the same job done for General Pope. If the
President shall continue to yield to the sug
gestions of these people there will soon be
no loyal Generals in command at the South.
The Democrats are working hard to per
petuate their rule in Connecticut A resolution-
looking to the closing of the Normal
School has just passed the lower House of
the Legislature. The abrogation of the
multiplication table, and the repeal of the
ten commandments are next in order.
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and
all the great heroes of the war, have en
dorsed the reconstruction policy of the peo
ple, as enacted by Congress. President
Johnson is left alone with the men who de
nounced the war as a "failure."
The receipts of lumber, lath and shingles
at Toledo, Ohio, since the opening of navi
gation, is as follows : Lumber, 40,433,000

Those in favor of making Greenbacks
and National Bank Notes as worthless as
tbe Continental money of the olden times,
hould rote for J udga Sharswood.
Plotting for a Panic.
The Copperhead organs of the 'country,
says the Harrisburg Telegraph, have been
plotting for the past four years to produce
a financial panic from the effects of which
they hoped to gain political power. George
Sharswood gave judicial force to this grand
scheme' of fraud, when he decided against
the legality of a national currency, aud now
we have the Copperhead organs seeking to
impress the people that the principle on
which National Banks are organized and al
lowed to do busiuess is one of fraud ; that
the great majority of those banks are rotten
concerns, and that it is unwise and reckless
for the people to place deposits in, or rely
on the circulation of such institutions. The
object of all such stories is to create a finan
cial panic. So far as the security for the
circulation of National Banks is concerned,
it is just to say that a circulating medium
could not be based on a safer foundation
than is that of these banks. The United
States holds securities, dollar for dollar, for
all the circulation of these banks, so that if
any such institutions in the country were to
fail and close their doors, and at the same
time they had all their notes in circulation,
not a single note-holder would or could lose
a dollar. , The Government has the means
deposited in its keeping by the directors of
such banks to redeem . all their circulation.
Hence the folly of talking about the rotten
ness of these institutions. The object is
merely to get up a financial panic, by which
it is hoped speculators may be able to rob
ignorant people. It is one of the meanest
of the Copperhead tricks to defraud the la
boring man and mechanic, and as such we
denounce it. It may also be characterized
as equal to Judge Sharswood's attempt to
break down the currency of the country as
legal tender. .
Who are the Friends ofjie Constitution ?
As an answer to the sickening prating of
Democrats professing to sustain the Consti
tution, the following lrom the Albany Jour
nal is pertinent. It addroses those who
have such a reverence for the letter of the
Constitution that they are willing to see it
perish because it contains no provision for
its preservation, and fitly exposes the hy
pocrisy of Copperhead regard for law :
"The true friends of the Constitution are
those who do not shrink from any responsi
bility necessary to preserve and establish it.
In doing '1 his it is conceded that the way it
shall be met is not specifically defined in the
body of the Constitution. Neither is it ne
cessary that it should be. The argument,
from a constitutional standpoint, rests with
the Democracy. Let them designate the
article which authorizes the rupture of the
Union and provides for the downfall of the
Constitution, while it prohibits any inter
ference to prevent it- Let them point, out
the section which declares the Government
powerless iu States whose people and Gov
ernments have repudiated their allegiance,
to establish Governments which shall ac
knowledge tl at allegiance. Let them cite
the article under which they sustain the po
sition they have always assumed, that the
Government is everywhere powerless, and
its enemies always potent because of the
weakness imparted to the former, and the
strength derived by the latter from the Con
stitution. That instrument is no such 'rope
of sand."'
A Parly of renegade Republicans, headed
by Joe Flanigan, of Philadelphia, and Nat
Sawyer, of Pittsburg, called on the Presi
dent before he started for Tennessee, to
enlighten liim in reference to Pennsylvania
politics. The main object of these adven
turers was to impress the President with
the fact that they were out in the cold,
and unless he could manage to put them in
warm places "the party" would go to pieces
in Pennsylvania. Mr. Henry Cogshall, of
Philadelphia, was of "the party" that call
ed on the President. After hearing the
complaints of these miserable renegades
from a great organization, Mr. Johnson was
evidently disgusred with the petitioner's as
he plainly told them he had no bone in his
kitchen to relieve their suffering. Repudi
ated by the Copperheads, despised by the
Republicans, and treated with contempt by
the President, the leaders of the "National
Union Conservatives" of Pennsylvania,
Messrs. Flanigan, Sawyer and Cogshall,
present a truely sorry plight for the con
templation of their old friends. Telegraph.
Mr. Henstes, the newly appointed war
den of the Washington jail, states that
when he was Consal in Canada, prior to the
assa-ssination of Mr. Lincoln, he met John
II. Surratt there so frequently as to become
lamuiar wun nis person, tnougn not know
ing him by the name of Surratt. Further,
that on the 14th of April, 1865, he met
Surratt on the stens of trip N'atmnul Ilntd
in ashingtou, recognized him as his Can
ada acquaintance, and shook hands with
him ; that on seeine him in the court room
he recognized John H. Surratt as the person
he met at the National Hotel on the day of
the assassination. As the testimony has
been closed, Mr. Henstes cannot be placed
on the stand.
The President over-estimates the number
and influence of his conservative adherents
in Pennsylvrnia., He wants them not to
run a third ticket through fear they might
thereby secure the election of Mr. Williams
to the Supreme Bench. What does he
mean ? . He seems to think many Democrats
would follow the Conservative banner, and
therein he is hugely mistaken. It is of no
earthly consequence what the Conservatives
do Or refrain from AnXner WKIAaro. marl

The Tennessee Election..
- The election in Tennessee, on August 1st,
passed off without any unusual disturbance,
and resulted in a Republican triumph. The
Republicans elected their whole delegation
to Congress, aud made a clean sweep of both
branches of the State Legislature. Gov.
Brownlow has been re-elected by a majority
of about 30,000; The Pittsburg Commer
cial in referring to the result in Tennessee,
says :
"The succcess of the Republican party
in Tennessee -possesses far siuore importance
than usually attaches to; a Stateelection.'
The most interesting fact connected with
this election is that it was the ' first held
where the negroes participated equally with
tbe whites. A change so great, and in a
State with so many turbulent elements as
Tennessee, would necessarily be attended
by excitement and some violence. But
there has been less of this than was predict
ed less by far than the opponerts of free
suffrage and supporters of the old slave sys
tem intended there should be; It is even
stated that, in spite of the bloody prognos
tications, the election was one of the quiet
est ever witnessed in the State. A crisis
has thus been passed, in view of which good
men everywhere felt no little uneasiness.
Had riot and bloodshed been the order of
the day in Tennessee had the opposition
succeeded in producing anarchy there, the
influence would have extended te every other
Southern State, and the future wou'd have
had another cloud raised before it. Not
only for t he order-loving qualities of the col
ored population have we many reasons to be
thankful, but their devotion to the princi
ples of the Republican party, which never
wavered. It is true, and we are .lad it is
true, as a race they went not all that way ;
some supported the Democratic candidates,
jast as some of them had been on the side
of the rebellion. A. .reat majority of the
colored men of Tennessee adhered firmly to
the cause that gave them freedom and suf
frage ; and, as a consequence, on the very
first trial of negro suffrage1 in the South, we
have one of the largest and most influential
Southern States rolling up a strong and re
liable Republican majority. The influence
on the South of such a result will be imme
diate and positive. It virtually defines what
will be the result in most, if not all. the
other Southern States, and permanently
foreshadows the politics of the country for
years to come. From this prospect Demo
crats are emitted to draw what consolation
they can. They have driven the negro into
the Republican ranks, and the penalty of
the treatment they gave him they may as
well make up their minds to bear for an in
definite period."
Grant Gossip.
The following is by the correspondent of
the Boston Journal: "lie has kept verj
quiet since he has been in New York. He
dislikes parade and attention. He says he
never gets into a carria?e on great occasions,
when crowds surrouml him and shout his
name, but what, mingling with the pageant
are the groans of the wounded, the sick
boys in the hospital, and the dead and the
dying on the battle-field. He has two or
three cozy nooks in New York, into which
he retires with a few friends to enjy a crn
fideritial chat. lie is very peculiar in his
habits. It is said he has not drank a glass
of spirits since he was appointed Lieutenant
General. He is breaking himself of his in
ordinate use of cigars, sensible that in the
inaction of peace the custom hurts hi
health. Nobody can get anything out of
him by asking questions. He seldom an
swers any that are put to him, but if left to
himself he will talk freely, clearly and fully
on public matters. Since he has been in
New York on this visit he has spent hours
in friendly conversation. To all matters
tcuching the Presidency he makes but one
reply. He hoi es he never shall leave the
afmy. That when his active service is over
he shall still be connected with the corps he
loves so well. He is not without his solici
tude in regard to public events. He-considers
matters more critical than before the
surrender of Lee. Some one said to him,
'General Grant, we do not know what is
before us, but as long as you are at the head
of the army the country feels safe, far it has
undiminished confidence in you. Your
death or removal from the army would not
only be a national calamity, but would so
shake the national confidence as to well
nigh produce a revolution.' General Grant
said nothing, but his eyes moistened with
tears a degree of emotion ha seldom ex
hibits." .
Ruin of Jamaica. The condition of Ja
maica is the theme of a private letter prin
ted in the Pull Mall Gazette, which gives a
sad picture of the continuous decline of
that once flourishing and wealthy Island.
The writer, who is an old resident", says he
"never knew Jamaica in such a state of
despondency. None of the better classes
no educated person would remain if they
could manage to get away. The country is
deeply in debt ; no effort isniade to develop
her resources,and taxation is largely increas
ed." Regret is expressed that the colonists
no longer possess "anything like self-government."
One of the parishes, that of
St. Ann's which in 1840 contained thirty
sugar estates, now has thirteen, and of these

horses, mules and cattle. The principal

A Tocchino Incident. The following!
toucmng meiuent is related m connection
with the recent sad disaster at Mount Desert:
On the morning of the day when Mr. and
Mrs. Clark left their home, in Farmingham,
Mass., on their ill-fated journey to Mount
Desert, Mrs. C. was engaged in packing her
trunks when a disabled soldier, with books
to sell, called at the door. She said to a
friend, "Though I am very busy it would be
selfish in me not to help the poor soldier a
little." She bought of him a child's story
book-, entitled jjost on the seashore, and
laid it upon the parlor table as a gift for her
little child when they should meet aaam.
When the child returned home last Friday
trom her visit to a neighboring town, there
was no mother there, but this little book
was handed to her as the last gift of that
mother. Bursting into tears she said, in
her simplicity, "Mamma knew it, mamma

. Ottawa ' RIVEK.--.A dispatch in th
Montreal Gazette furnishes the following
additional facts concerning the fruits of the
expedition for finding the headwaters of
the Ottawa river f-,? ' i- ;
S "This party reports the length of the
river to be about: one thousand. miles, in
stead of a few hundred, as; has been supposed.-
.They found, in the course of the' river,
Gros Lake, said to be four hundred miles in
circumference, but there is certainly some
mistake in this calculation. On their wav
they were met by a tribe of Indians, who
refused to allow them to proceed. Fortu
nately one of the party, who had been in
the en: ploy of the Hudson Bay Company
could talk the Indian dialect. After an ex
planation a council of war was held, and
they were allowed to pursue their journey.
Navigation from Lake Temiscaming to
Gros Lake is impeded by numerous rapids.
Beyond Gros Lake, -to near the source of
the Ottawa, a distance of two hundred miles,
there was no obstructions. The source of
the Ottawa is said to be within fifty miles
of the head waters of tbe . Saguenay. The
land along the upper region of the Ottawa
is of good quality. The climate is much
colder than here. The explorers had to
pnshice out of tha way of their canoes, on
Gros or Victoria Lake, on the 24th of May.
