The Ticket. . The candidates presented to the people of Clearfield county for their suffrages by the Republican Convention, are eminently wor thy of a cordial anot hearty support , Capt. James M. Welch, the ca'ii'didate for Assembly, enlisted early in the war as a private soldier in the original Bucktail Re giment, and was successively promoted for gallant conduct in action, until he reached the rank of Captain. He is in all respects as fully competent to discharge te duties of the office and represent the interests of the district faithfully, as his Democratic op ponent, while his services to his country en title him to the support and gratitude of every patriotic citizen. Saxsoh B. Lisgle, the candidate for Sheriff, is also a 6oIdier, who lost an arm in the service. He is a young man of abil ity and integrity, in every way worthy of the support of the people, and would make an efficient and faithful officer. Though possessed of only one hand, he can" write legibly and well, which, perhaps, is saying a good deal more than can be truthfully said" of the copperhead candidate, whose chirography is represented" as a literary cu riosity. Arthur Bell, the candidate for Treasu rer, is too well known as an old and resect ed citizen of the county, to require any no tice atour hands. Every vctcr knows that the public money would be safe in his hands from either peculation or speculation, David Dressler, Esq., of Union town ship, the candidate for Commissioner, is well and familiarly known throughout the county as a first class man capable, honest and punctual. Place him in the Commis sioners' office and the people can rest assur ed that the finances of the county will be properly disbursed, the business of the of fice faithfully and punctually done, and the public interests well attended to in all res pects. Should he be elected, the people will never have cause to regret his elevation to the office of Commissioner. James OlenV, the candidate for Jury Commissioner j is the same Janies Glenn who lost his leg in the battle of Drainesville, early in the war, and who is now nominated for this office as an evidence of the grati tude of the loyal men of Clearfield county for his services to his country. Each party being entitled toons Jury Commissioner, Mr. Glenn will of course be elected. He will make a good officer. , John H. Fcxjtord, Esq., the candidate for District Attorney, is a young lawyer of great promise, and more than usual ability, If elected, he will discharge his duties faith fully, and will soon reduce the criminal cat lender to such proportions that the civil bu siness of the people can receive its proper share oi attention from the Court. James Irwin, Sr., the candidate for Au ditor, is well known as an active business man. well qualified for the position It Would be only fair, that there should be an Auditor of each party. Indeed, the law ought to provide that Auditors should be elected like Inspectors of elections, so that each, party would be represented in the in vestigation and examination of the public accounts.,., .; " ' '. ' Lieut Wat.' BL BboWn, the candidate for Coroner, is a soldier who served gallantly throughout the war, and was one of out most valued correspondents from the army, whose letters were always read with interest add pleasure by our patrons. Sucli is the Republican' ticket There is not a man on it, but is eminently worthy of our cordial support We can vote for these! candidates with the assurance .that we arc casting our suffrages for men who wore true and faithful to their country in the past, xnd who will cover Lctray it in the future. At Their Old Tricks. Misrepresentation seems to' be a perma nent article in the Copperhead creed. Re cently the Patriot and Union, and other leading Copperhead papers, published an article purporting to be an extract from the Salem (Mass.) Journal, in which Pennsyl vania is stigmatized as a "poor, ignorant, "stupid old Dutch State," in the hope of influencing the Germans to oppose Hon. Henry W. Williams. The article in ques tions was at once Bent to the Salem Regis ter, m hereupon that paper declares that no such paper as the Journal is published in Salem, and that no such article ever appear ed in a Republican paper in. Massachusetts. But no sooner was the above falsehood ex posed, than the leaders of that party con coct another, to wit, that Mr. Williams was an advocate of repudiation in Allegheny county, some years ago. The Pittsburg pa pers have promptly exploded this falsehood, by denying the truth of the statement, and challenging the Copperhead papers to furn ish the proof of their assertions. A more honorable citizen and upright Judge, than Hon. Henry W. Williams can not be found in the State ; and no meaner and more ma licious forgery and falshood than the above was ever attempted to be palmed npon an in telligent and confiding people. But, let the Copperhead papers and leaders continue to falsify and misrepresent the Republican can didate. S ich falsehoods will only recoil upon their authors, when exposed, and in stead of injuring Mr. Williams, will have the effect of largely increasing his majority in the State, in October next Genuine Copperheadism. C. Chancy Burr, a notorious Copperhead, has been lecturing in New Jersey, before Democratic associations and receiving their countenance and approval for his poltical sentiments. He edits a magazine called the Old Guard, which is exclusively patroniz ed by the Democratic party. In a late num ber of this vile publication, Burr says : ' "We think we are safe in saying that there are more intelligent white and black men and women in this country to-day, who respect the name of John Wilkes Booth, than there are who respect the name of A braham Lincoln." He also used the following language in the same paper, in speaking of Mr. Lincoln : "It is a year since Old Abe was taken suddenly sick in the private box of a thea tre, on Good Friday night, with Booth on the Brain." ' And he opens his editorial comment i n his last number with these words JJwnl God I still boast of my disloyalty P' This man is the chosen spokesman of the Demo cratic party and an acknowledged exponent of its views. What right has such a party to complain when we charge them with dis loyal sentiments 7 Commending Treason. .... The, Clinton Democrat, an outspoken Copperhead organ which advocates the election of Judge Sharswood, because he boldly essayed to cripple the power of the G3vcrnment by attacking its credit, describes Admiral Semiues, the rebel pirate, as win ning "honorable fame in an honorable cause!" Semmes, in the name of treason, committed more piracies of greater atrocity than were ever laid to the charge of captain Kidd. Semmes despoiled the merchant marine of the North to the amount of mil lions he insulted and trampled on the flag of the Government, and engaged with our ancient enemies for our defeat For doing all this a Democratic newspaper published in the State of Pennsylvania, vociferates that Semmes won honorable fame in honorable cause I Certainly this is reaching the remotest point of Copperhead audacity in approval of treason. Change of Commanders. The Presi dent has prepared and sent to Gen. Grant instructions to issue an order assigning Gen bhendan to the command of the Depart ment of Missouri, Gen. Hancock to the De portment of the Cumberland, and General Thomas to the Fifth (Sheridan's) military District The order was to be issued on Monday, unless Gen. Grant shall suggest the substitution of some other names in place of Hancock and Thomas. In that case Sheridan may be assigned to some oth er command than that of Missouri, but cer tain it is, the order relieves Sheridan from the command of his district The Presi dent had determined to assign Hancock to the Fifth, but he has concluded to give that position to Ihomas. 1AMANQ0, a Japanese port, has been opened by the government of that country to foreigners. The duskey know-nothings are gradually giving way. We suppose, l. li 1J. iMl t. 1 nr- uuwcvur, it woum suu dc a nuge onence in those far-off isles of the sea to run forjudge without having been born in Japan. The copper-colored Democracy of that land would denounce it terribly." - ' A terrible state of affairs prevailed on election day in West Tennessee. At Jack son a mob of ex-rebels gathered around the polls and compelled negroes to vote the Con servative ticket At Gibson county there is an organization of ex-rebels pledged to drive every Union man out of the coantf; t year the Democracy had occasion to rejoice over two Bignal victories the massa cres at New Orleans and Memphis. ThU year they are equally fortunate in the rebel triumph in Kentucky, and the acquittal of Surratf.- ' ' The Murder Case. . , COMMONWEALTH VS. LENA MILLER. The case of Lena Miller, now under sen tence of death in this county, for the mur der of her husband, Xavier Miller, by means of poison, is at end so far as the courts are concerned. The. opinion of Judge Thomp son, of the Supreme Court, which we sub join, disposes of the case, and the record now goes to the Governor for final action. Piior to 1860,'criminal cases could not be removed by Writ of Error to the Supreme Court for revision, but the Act of Assembly of the 31st of March, 1860, authorized the Supreme Court, or a Judge thereof, on cause shown to allow a Writ of Error. Ac cordingly the counsel of Lena Miller applied to Justice Thompson, at Philadelphia, for an Allocatur, or in other words, to allow the writ to issue for the removal of the case to the Supreme Court The motion was ar gued by Messrs. Wallace and M'Cullough, two of the counsel, and was refused by Judge Thompson, who filed the following opinion: The application for a'writ of error in this case made under the provisions of the crim inal procedure act of 1860, is founded and rests mainly on an exception taken to one point in the charge of the learned President of the Court. It is true, there are one or two other reasons assigned of less apparent cons quence. For instance, that the docket entries in the case do not show that the bill of indictment was returned to the court by a grand jury. If, according to the utmost strictness, tbis'was objectionable, it is mere ly formal and technical, and was waived by pleading and going to trial without objection. Sec 53, of act of I860. Itwas not objec tionable, however, for the indictment and the return of "true bill," signed by the foreman, is part of the record in the case, and proves the finding and return by the grand jury. That the Court heard objections to the testimony of the witness, who proposed to swear to confessions by the prisoner in the presence othc jury, and also counter tes timony to exclude it, was not made the sub ject of an exception, and we do not know whether it was likely to affect the prisoner injuriously or not, for we do not know what was said or done on the occasion. We can not, therefore, say or presume there was error. Indeed, I see not how a Court could do otherwise than was done in this case, viz : to hear and determine objections as they rose in the presence of the jury. The dis cretion of a Court is to be presumed suffi cient protection to the prisoner in matters pertaining to the mode of conducting the trial. e have no reason or ground to fear that it was not so in this case, or to appre hend a wrong done to the prisoner. We see no inadequacy in the charge to the requirements ot the case. It was full, cautious, and well considered, and not a word appears in it of which the prisoner, in view of the testimony, could justly com plain. That portion of it embraced in the exception is as follows, and is. to te found near the end of the charge, thus : If, then, after a careful examination and comparison of all the evidence in the case, you are con vinced, and believe, first, that the deceased came to his death by poison, and secondly, that the poison was voluntarily and crimi nally administered by tbe prisoner, it is j our duty to render a verdict of murder in the first degree." The statute expressly de clares that the voluntary killing by such means shall bedeem'ed nfurder in the first degree. Was it not, therefore, the duty of the jury so to find if the facts established a wilful and criminal administration of the poison, and that it produced death? No one will doubt this, nor consistently doubt the right of the Court to advise them so to find. The objection, however, is not to the ac curacy of the instruction, but to its charac ter, because it was thought to be a binding instruction on a matter solely within the province of the jury to find, to wit : the de gree. By reference to the charge, it ap pears that the learned Judge, almost in the outset distinctly told the jury that they were constitutionally the judges, both of the law and the facts, and that bis duty consisted solely in advising them as to what the law in such a case was, and he proceeded to state the degrees of murder as defined in the statute, and what constituted murder in the first and murder in the second degree. The instruction was, in my opinion, only advisory, its form being considered, and most certain ly so, by reference to this surrender of the law to the judgment of the jury as well as the tacts. .My brother Agnew, to whom I submitted the point, agrees with me fully herein. The case of Rhodes vs. the Com monwealth, 12 W., 396, is not in point in this case. There the indictment was not in form at common law. It was under th statute, and did not allege the means bv ,i . , , . ... wmcn me uiuraer was perpetrated. The Court, seeming to be of opinion that the killing, if done by the prisoner, must have been in the perpetration of the crime of robbery, charged the jury, that it they be lieved the prisoner euilty of the murdor. they must find him guilty of murder in th first degree. 1 his was clearly a binding in struction, and we reversed the judgment. It was a very different instruction from that given in this case. Indeed, m this case,the Judge has scrupulously followed what we said, in that, to be the duty of a judge in such trials, viz : "to advise the jury of the distinction between the degrees of murder to apply the evidence, and to instruct them to which of the degrees it pointed." The entire propriety of the charge in the partic ular referred to will strike the mind more readily when it is remembered that the in dictment charged a wilful, malicious, and felonious murder by poison, and there was was not a syllable of evidence to show that if the prisoner administered the poison, it was riot designed to result in the death of her husband, as jt did. Not a word was ut tered by any witness to found a hypothesis for a verdict of murder in the second degree. The act of the 31st of March. ' n'uires cause to be shown bernm tha Pn or a ju'dse is authorized to allow a writ of" error. . There must be grounds of possible error committed bv the Court in the trial in the record shown'. If anything" had been shown in this case to raise & doubt of th accuracy of the trial of the correctneiw of Judicial action in it, I would certainly allow me writ oi error Dut i cannot aouot even. Cjfuse not having been shown, I anr there fore obliged, in obedience to the statute, to refuse the allocatur prayed for. Allocatur refused. The -case, as we have said, now goes to the Governor, to be disposed of in one of three ways, viz : He may sign her death warrant, in which event she will be execu ted on the day therein appointed ; or he may refuse to sign it, in which case she will remain in jail under sentence, it being the same in effect as to commute ker sentence to imprisonment for life ; or, thirdly, be may pardon her. Whatever may be her fate, her counsel can rest under the con vie tion that they have faithfully discharged their whole duty. She was zealously and ably defended, had a most fair and impar tial rial, and was only convicted because of the overwhelming evidence of her guilt Her case is but another proof that murder cannot be perpetrated with impunity how ever secret or insidious the means, but that the avenger of blood is both swift and certain. The Copperhead Address. The editor of the Clearfield Republican, having last week referred to the remarks of the JV. Y. Tribune, in proof of the tone of the Address of the Republican State Committee, should now be honest enough to give the Tribune's opinion of Mr. Wal lace's address to the Democracy of Pennsyl vania. The Tribune says : "The address of the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania has one merit it is short But, brief as it is, it contains almost as many false assertions as sentences, and is a specimen of the very worst kind ot political trickery. All the evils of the war the loss of life, taxation, debt high pri ces, paper currency are enumerated as the direct work of the Republican party. Not a word is said of the Rebellion. We won der what stuff a Democratic State Commit tee can be made of which' gravely submits such an argument as this to the people. It is true that we have a' (treat debt which bears as heavily upon Republicans as on Democrats : it is true that we are severe ly taxed to pay it ; it is true that price's are high, that the currency is depreciated. All this we know and lament ; but it is also true that we owe these evils, first to the Rebels, and second, to the Democratic party, and wholly to their combined efforts to destroy the Union. It 6eems almost absurd to repeat these truths, tor no ingenuity will ever con ceal the great lact that the south rebelled, that the Democratic party sympathized with rebellion, and that the Republican par ty directed and maintained the War for the Uuion, and brought it to a triumphant end. It is notorious that the Rebels depended for aid upon the Democratic party ; that the official action ot that party was hailed in the South as an encouragement to persist in rebellion ; that it it had not been tor Dem ocratic opposition the w-ir would have en ded years, perhaps, before it did, and that the debt ana all our. national evils would now be immeasurable less. There is noth ing plainer than that the Democratic party next to the itebels is responsible for the war and the misfortunes that have followed it We repeat therefore, that to compare the rate of taxation in 1 860, with thd rate in 1866, in proof that the Republican party has mismanaged the finances, without a word of reference to the war. is simply the meanest kind of political trickery,and certain to damage the cause it was meant to help. This address is insulting to the intelligence ot the reader, and a slander ot the .North, for the Republican party and the North, throughout the war were one and indivisible. It is all the loyal States that this Democratic Committee accuses or tyranny, and hatred, and corruption. " .What General Meade Thinks. Major General Meade has been at Long Branch. A correspondent says he has had "a pleasant chat" with him, and that the General gives hia views with a moderate sort ot freedom that is simply easy in man ner The General has little confidence in politicians, as such r he thinks the Presi dential nomination is being manipulated at present with a considerable amount of shrewdness, that a class of men are now pitting General Grant forward npon one side and General Sheridan on the other, and when they have sufficiently pitted these two popular military men against each other tney win pom ne dropped and secretary Chase be tafcen up as the third man, being a civilian and supposed to be availa ble. He agreed with us that the position of lieneral Ixrant is a better one than the Presidency y- but though the time would come.when Grant would naturally desire to retire from public life, and it would be more desirable to do so from the White House than from the head of the army. He conceives that the friends of Chase will leave no means untried to secure the nomi nation. . The Democrats ot Conewago township, York county, belong to the "progressive" branch of the party. Last year in collecting the school tax, the. Democrats paid $1 per head, and those who voted the Republican ticket $1 20 per head. The rule did not work well, and the tax gatherers fearing they might get into trouble, are now engaged in refunding the extra twenty cents to the Re publicans. The Copperheads are anxious for com pensation for the failure of the slaveholders' rebellion, and believe they have been par tially compensated therefor by the political victory in Kentucky and the disagreement of the jury which tried Surratt.
