8. I. ROW, KPlTORAUD PROPRIETOR.
CliEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 1G, 1867.
The Eesult in Pennsylvania.
The official returns, so far as received, in
dicate that the defeat of Jud.e Williams is
wholly the result of the greater apathy per
vading the ranks of the Republican party,
for the Democracy did not even poll near so
many votes as they did in 1866. And hence,
the Democratic gains, as they are termed,
are but relative, not absolute only appa
rent, because there was a less falling off in
their vote, than in that of the Republican.
There are as many, yea more Republican
voters in Pennsylvania to-day than ever be
fore, but many thousands did not feel suffi
cient interest in the contest to induce them
to quit their work and go to the polls. Had
these thousands remembered their duty to
their country to the surviving heroes of
the war and to the widows and orphans ot
the fallen defenders of the Union, and vot
ed, we would now be rejoicing over our usual
large majority. But, the stay-at-home vo
ters cut that majority down to a little below
nothing, and we must be content with the
result as it is only resolving that we will
not again be caught napping at our posts.
Taking a proper view of the election in
Pennsylvania, we do not see that the De
mocracy has gained any permanent advan
tage in the result of this contest. Their suc
cess is only transitory. It does not denote a
Democratic victory only a relaxing of vigi
lance on the "part of the Republicans; that
is all. And, ere many months roll by, we
will again see the Republican party firmly
cemented together, in the same common
bond that united them while battling against
treason, and once more zealously working
for the one common object the perpetuity
of the Union and our free institutions.
The watcllword of the Republican party,
at its inception, was "Onward!" And,
whether we encounter an armed rebel host
upon the batt'e-field, or contend against the
usurpations and power of a perfidious and
recreant President, or repel the sophistries
and false accusations of an unscrupulous and
wily political enemy, still our watchword is
"Onward !" True, our recent slight politi
cal reverse has caused us to halt a moment
and review our situation, as did the Union
army after the battle of theWilderness ; but,
the smoke of the skirmish will soon clear
away the rank and file of the party will
again stand shoulder to shoulder they will
choose a worthy standard bearer and leader
and then, once more, will be heard their
well-known shout of ''Onward !'.' as they go
"marching on" to victory!
Then, let us look upon our defeat at this
time in the light of a lesson as a warning,
before we enter upon the gre it Presidential
battle of 18GS, that we must b3 more united,
more vigilant, more zealous, more active,
and more determined in our efforts to main
tain the integrity ot the Union and the per
manency of the Constitution, if we desire
to be successful in that all-important politi
cal contest. Republicans ! wo trust you
will heed this warning, and profit by it.
The Eesult in Clearfield County.
By reference to the official returns of this
county, published to-day, it will be seen that
the Democracy polled 2,740 votes for Shars
wood, and the Republican, 477 for Wil
liams leaving a majority of 1,263 for
Sharswood. In 1866 Clymer had 2,786 votes
in the county, and Geary 1,650 Clymer's
majority 1,136. Sharswood's majority over
Clymer 1 27. This increase in majority, how
ever, is not the result of any change in the
opinions of Republican voters, or of their
going over to the Democracy, but is owing
entirely to the apathy existing in the Re
publican ranks, as will appear on contrast
ing the vote of 1866 and 1867. Notwith
standing the heavy influx of Irish voters
along the railroad, the Democrats, this year,
polled but 2.740 votes for Sharswood, while
they polled 2,786 for Clymer in 1866-show-ing
a loss of 46 votes. The Republicans
polled 1,477 votes for Williams, and 1,650
for Geary showing a loss of 173. Repub
lican loss over Democratic, 127. Thus, it
will be seen that, the increased majority for
Sharswood is wholly the fault of the stay-at-home
Republicans, who, alone, are re
sponsible for the result in this county, and
for the share they contributed towards the
defeat of Judge Williams.
..As .i precautionary measure, Gen. Grant
has ordered three light batteries to Fort Mc
Henry," Baltimore a precaution rendered
necessary by the half-developed purposed of
the unreconstructed rebel elements there.
The fact is a significant one.

. The Elections.
Pennsylvania. Up to this time but a
small portion of the official figures, of the
several counties, in Pennsylvania, have been
published, and hence we omit their publica
tion this week. The official majorities, how
ever, are given from all the counties but two,
and these are reported. The majorities foot
up, for Williams 38,-107 ; for Sharswood,
39,200; majority for Sharswood 802. The
counties to hear from will, however, vary
these figures a little.
Iowa has given a noble lesson to Penn
sylvania. Further away from the Capital
of the Nation she saw more clearly the im
portance of doing her full duty towards the
country at large, and rolled up a heavy
Union majority. The returns thus far give
the Republicans 16,000, which will doubt
less be swelled to 20,000 ! " All honor to
Iowa.
Indiana. In Indiana the contest was
for County officers only, and not much in
terest wns felt in the election. In some of
the counties the Republicans gain, and in
others the Democrats. The changes are
not of much account, and the State may be
said to have given a Republican majority of
from 10,00) to 15,000.
The Radicals have defeated the Conser
vatives in Omaha, their stronghold in the
new States, by two hundred and fifty ma
jority. OllIO has certainly elected Gen. Hays,
Republican, for Governor, by a majority
closely hugging 3,500.
Democratic Victory in Colorado.
The Democrats havo been shouting over
their "great gains" in Colorado, their "glo
rious victory," etc. This was on the strength
of a guess-work dispatch from a single dis
trict. The official returns are now in, and
it turns out that the "great reaction" has
beeu in favor of the Republicans, Colorado
has heretofore been Democratic. Now she
is Republican. In the upper house of the
Legislature the Republicans have nine
councilmen, the Democrats only four ; in
the lower House the Republicans have six
teen Representatives, the Democrats ten.
On joint ballot there are twenty-five Re
publicans to fourteen Democrats. A few
more "great reactions" of this kind will
use up the Democracy in Colorado Territo
ry completely.
The day before the elect i n the Cincin
nati Gazette said "the want of river navi
gation is severely felt." Judging from the
new3 from thatquarter, we should think the
want has een supplied by the sudden open
ing and tre4 navigable condition ot bait
River ! '
The democracy begin to hope that "the
Constitution of out fathers" will soon be re
adopted ; and the auction block, slave whip,
and blood hound be restored to their old
supremacy in the government.
Some of the Democratic papers look as
though they had gone into the Shanghai
and Brahmapootra trade, such an array of
poultry do they exhibit on the election news.
A large amount of counterfeit 7-30 U. S.
Bonds arc in circulation. Beware of them.
The Position of Gen. Grant.
The speech of Congressman Washburne at
Galena, 111., in which he defines Grant's po
litical status as in entire accord with the
Republican party, deserves attention, inas
much as Sir. Washburne is an o'd personal
intimateiViend with Gen. G. Mr. Wash-
I buine states that Gen. Grant was an old
Whig. His father, so well known in Ga
lena, was always an active ami influential
member of the Whig pariy, and after it
went out of existence, of the Republican
party. The General was always a Whig,
so far as he was a politician at a41, and nev
er belonged to or had any sympathy with
the Democratic party.
(jren. trrant was openly and strongly for
both Constitutional amendments, and hail
ed the reconstruction act of the Thirty
ninth Congress as a solution of our diiiicul
ties, and he entered upon the discharge of
his duties under that act with zeal, vigi
lance and fidelity. Sympathizing with Con
gress in its action, and appreciating the im
portance of its being in session, lie urged
and advised such action a3 would secure an
extra session, if necessary. When that ses
sion came he expressed the most serious
tears ot the ettect ot a long adjournment,
and, with a far reaching sagacity, anticipa
ting the precise stbte of things that has oc
cured, he used all his influence with Sena
tors to have them adopt the House provis
ion of the amended bill, requiring the assent
of the Senate to a removal of the- District
Commanders. Fa voring the reconstruction
acts, no effort of his has been wanting to se
cure their enforcement in letter and spirit,
to the end that the Union might be speed
ily and fully restored.
A J itdgz Elected bt Deserters. It is
now an undisputed fact that J udge Shars
wood has been elected to office by the votes
of persons who deserted from the United
States army and draft sneaks during the
last war. These persons are disfranchised
by the law3 of Congress and the State ot
Pennsylvania, yet every one of them who
appeared to vote in Copperhead counties
was welcomed, and thoir votes recorded in
opposition to the men who periled their
live? and spilled their blood on the battle
held. Republicans who staved at home for
fear a half day's work , would be lost, what
do you think of beinc envomn 1 Kr mor,
who are placed m office by deserters and
draft sneaks ? The majority for Sharswood
may not reach five hundred. Telegraph.

The following article from the Pittsburg
Gazette, contains some interesting historical
facts, wheh we commend to the careful pe
rusal of our readers :
In 18G2 the Democrats carried New Yoik
by 10,752, and elected 17 members of Con
gress to 14 Republicans. New Jersey by
14,597, and elected 4 members to 1 Repub
lican. PennsyjvaiHa by 3.G24, and elected
13 members to 11 Republicans. Ohio by
5,577, and elected 14 members to 5 Repub
licans. Indiana by 9,513, and elected 7
members to 4 Republicans. Illinois by 1G.
546, and elected D members to 5 Republi
cans. Michigan by 6,614, aud gained 1
member. Then our armies were in the field.
Emancipation was in prospect, Republicans
had to breast all the recoil current of that
public sentiment turned aside by the annull
ing of Fremont's proclamation. They had
defeats, disasters, mistakes and betrayals to
contend against. Their leader was more
vilified and ridiculed than any public man
had ever been. Their enemies were wild
with enthusiasm. The rebels struck with
renewed vigor and assurance of victory. The
London Times assumed that nothing could
bring peace but a recognition of the Confed
erate States; Mr. Gladstone said Jefferson
Davis had created a nation. The Democrats
held a jubilee in Philadelphia, at which our
soldiers were said to be fighting "in patient
submission to the inexorable law which
drags them from their homes," and that
"the Democracy now present to the world an
unbroken phalanx of kindred souls, that
they can never be enslaved, and that the
habeas corpus is the sheet-anchor of their
hopes." Mr. Lincoln was pronounced "a
tyrant" who had come into power with "hea
then oaths," and was a '"nightmare to his
country." Mr. Iogersoll proposed a Na
tional Convention "for the reintegration of
our individual freedom and our State rights,
and is some hope of restoring the Union,
of which there was not the remotest chance
by any other means." Mr. Reed, more di
plomatic, said the North was "weary of
debt and taxation, of the tax collector and
the recruiting sergeant, weary of the ambu
lance of the wounded and the hearse of the
dead, and would hail with ecstacy beyond
control the hour when flags of truce should
he displayed at Washington and Richmond."
He called upon the next Legislature to "be
come the grand inquest" for indicting all
who had dared to take a prominent part in
the war. But the nation was not lost. The
clouds which darkened the horizon swiftly
vanished, and bright victories, followed in
rapid succession on the field where thous
ands of brave hearts were battling, and at
home, where the silent ballot gave evidence
that the people wre still arrayed on the
side of Truth, Ridit and Justice. So to
day, as in 1862, the cloud lowers, but it por
tends no disaster The people see its silver
edges and hopefully await the bright gleam
of sunlight which will stream through to
warm and gladden the heart of the nation
at the forthcoming Presidential election.
Yield of Gold and Silver. We learn
from a new English volume on mining that
in 1SG5 the principal mineral producing
countries of the world yielded 550.587 pounds
of gold and four million pounds of silver. ' Of
gold, California and the adjoining mineral
districts produced 21 0,000 pounds; Australia
and New Zealand,191.000; Russia, 65,500;
South America, 34,000; Southern Asia. 25,-
000 of silver; Mexico produced 1,700,000
pounds; the United States, 1,000,000; Peru
and Ulna, 598,000, and the rest or .Lurone,
including the British Isles, 526,000. Esti
mating the value of these metals at present
market values, the yield of gold for the vear
was not far from $125,000,000, and of silver
75,000,000. .
The New York Gazette condemns the ex
pensiveness of the amusements in that city,
and says that a reaction is setting: in. It
costs live dollars to provide a gentleman and
lady with two seats at tho Academy of Mu
sic or Kiston s, to say nothing of carnage
hire aud supper. In the estimation of the
Gazette, the result will be that soin
shrewd rival manager will start an Italian
Opera Season at reduced rates, and the jrreat
mass of the music loving public will go-
where they can gratify their tastes with the
least damage, to their pockets. This is the
era of individual economy, and one of the
first applications of the system is to the lux
uries of music and the drama."
An important case has been decided by
the United States District Court of North
ern Georgia, confirming the purchase of an
estate for Confederate money. Dean sold
his estate to Youett in 1864 for $24,000
Confederate money, and atterward tried to
annull the sale on account of the nature of
the consideration, but failed. Judge Er.sk
ine dismissed the bill and sustained the pur
chase. The Cincinatti Gazette says: "This
case has excited a great deal of interest, and
is peihaps, the most important one to the
Southern people decided since the close of
the war."
The population of the earth is estimated
by a German statist at 1,350,000,000, of
whom 285,000,000 are in Europe, 796,000,
000 in Asia, 3,850,000 in Australia and Pol
ynesia, 188,000,000 in Africa, and 74,500,
0M in America. This estimate, it is ac
knowledged, is only an approximation, for
the statist admits that it is impossible to ar
rive at anything like an accurate statement
of the population of Asia and Africa, there
being no census or other means of ascer
taining the number of inhabitants in those
portions of the globe.
There is a panic in South Canaan, Con
necticut, abut a black snake thirty feet
long and thirty inches thick, which is said
to live in a swamp, and subsist by sucking
cows. One man has offered one hundred
dollars for its capture alive, and fifty dollars
to have it killed. Strong efforts are mak
ing to have the town authorities offer a suffi
cient reward to secure its capture. We
have heard of several such snakes in years
gone by, and they have all mysteriously dis
appeared, without one bequeathing his skin
to a museum.
- A calculating correspondent of a'TiritiaT,
journal has discovered that a famous race
horse named "Achievement," has literally
won his weight in gold. This, he says is
represented by twenty-eight thousand sov
ereigns, which, in round numbers, weigh
four hundred pounds avoirdupois.
If tho result of the elections will induce
the democrats to nominate Johnson for
President said election are very great bless
ings in very slight disguises.
I -Bribery and Lorruotion.-
For some years past, and after the elec
tion, ikhas been the custom of the de
feated party to charge its opponents with
bribery and corruption ; but we should not
have intimated such a thing, at this time,
had it not been for the discovery of a secret
circular, issued by the Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, and
which we publish below. The Philadelphia
Morning Post, from which we copy the cir
cular, in making it public, says :
"This circular was sent to every county
Chairman under the pledge of absolute se
cresy, and it is only by extraordinary circum
stances that it has come into our possession.
But for those circumstances it would never
have been seen by any Republican, and prob
ably not an hundred democrats would have
known of its existence. We vouch for its
authenticity; we know that it was issued
by authority ; we print it from an original
copy, and are ready to produce the document
in court. In effect, this circular is nothing
less than the offer of an immense bribe.
The Democratic Committee undertook to
buy up the whole State. They pledged
themselves to pay a fixed sum for every vote
exceeding a certain average, and we have
little doubt that the money will be paid.
The Democrats in Pennsylvania are backed
by the administration, and we are afraid
that Mr. Johnson, when he abandoned the
policy of Lincoln, did not give up the Secret
Service Fund. Bribery is scored in black
letters over this circular, and the crime is
not the work of an individual, but the offi
cial work of the Democratic party itself."
The Private Democratic Circular.
How the Canvass was Managed. A Fixet
I net 'jor every Democratic Vote. We print
below a literal copy of the private circular
issued by the .Democratic State Committee ;
it is exact even to the emphasized sentences.

To ; , Esq.,
Chairman of County Committee.
Countv.
Dear Sir : The necessity for close atten
tion to details in this contest is most appar
ent. It is comparatively noiseless, but it
should be made full ot activity.
The great end to be accomplished is : To
poll even Democratic vote.
The first thing to be dore is to learn the
names of all the Democrats and doubtful
men. For this purpose the blanks were fur
nished you and so far as you have returned
to me the lists, I to-day send you copies by
mail. Send the remainder as rapidly as
possible.
These lists are to be placed in the hands
of ;ictive men in the districts; I endorse in
crick list a circular describing their duties, for
their direction ; 1 also enclose you a copy
thereof.
Make it your business to employ these
men yourself; do not trust to letters; go and
see them ; pay tltem for their time in warn
ing the dilatory, and for election day, and
provt'te the means to haul tm slow men to
the. polls. It is better to spend money in
this way than by meetings. If you have
any doubt of the men you employ, tell oth
ers of pur friends that you have placed
money in their hands.
Get your detailed vote for 1865 and 1866,
Compare the two, this will show you the
districts likely to be slow. Give them special
attention now. it 13 important to get relia
ble men in each district. Do not devote
your attention to making a specific majority,
but look to getting your ichnle vole. When
this is done the majority follows.
In very slow districts, I would suggest a
special contract with active men, thus: in
1865, the district polled 100 Democratic
votes; in 1S66, 120 Democratic votes; now,
for every Democratic vote over 110 polled
we will pay you a fixed sum the day after
the election. This is simply an incentive to
bring men out, for the vote of 18G6 shows
they are there.
See that your agents have YM Democrats
assessed, naturalized, and their tases paid.
Let me know what I can do for you.
Send forward the lits rapidly.
Be very careful of this paper ; keep it en
tirely private.
Respect fully yours,
William A. Wallace,
' . Chairman.

came a naturalized citizen, and when he

interfere to the extent asked for, did not
hesitate to request the Italian Government
to show clemency to their prisoner.

There are some features, besides gold,
belonging to this distant interior of the Uni
ted States which entitle it to notice, at least
as a subject of speculative knowledge. We
cannot say, however, that they present any
very strong attractions to the comfortable
dwellers in the old States, to make that lof
ty golden country their future home. .The
great back-bone of the continent runs
through the Territory, forming the water
shed between the oceans. But although its
mean elevation entitles it to be so consider
ed, yet it does not contain the highest isola
ted peaks and ranges of the mountains.
Consequently, it climate is the less rigorous,
and vegetation extends to a greater height
than in the vicinity of ranges which are cov
ered with perpetual snow.
Owing, however, to the lack of raiu, the
country cannot be favorable for general til
lage. What rain falls is speedily lost in the
loose, silicious soil, which lacks a clayey sub
soil for its retention. Along the streams
where artificial irrcgation is employed, crops
of grain and vegetables are raised abundant
ly and of good quality. The growth of
grass even at high elevations offers induce
men's for the raising of stock, particularly
of sheep. The climate and the abundant
pasturage are both favorable for this kind
of farming.
One of the peculiar and curious charac
teristics of the physical geography of Colo
rado, is the chain of the valley called Parks,
which interlie the mountains. These are
level or rolling surfaces, watered by numer
ous streams, some of which have egress
eastward or westward, and others of which
empty into lakes which have no visible out
let. The St. Louis Park has forty-seven
streams flowing down from the Sierra Mo
java, and the Sierra Madre, twenty-three of
which are lost in the reservoir lakes, while
the others form tributaries to the river Del
Norte. In these Parks there is a good
growth of grass, wHle pine timber covers
heavily the falopes of the mountains adj ac
cent. The gold abounding in Colorado is of
course the most conspicious attraction to ad
venturous settlers. Large quantities of the
precious metal have been obtained, and
large sums have been spent, in vain, in ex
perimental efforts by individuals ar.d com
panies. Science, skill and experience may
be made available, to ensure richer results
than have yet been achieved by an' imper
fect method of working the mines. Coal is
found of good quality and extensive in quan
ity. Iron, copper and silver have been dis
covered in several localities. .
The resours;?s of all kinds in this new
territory, will be ascertained and broughtin
to available use by the great interoceanic
communicntions that will traverse it, the
Union Pacific Railroad from Omaha to San
Francisco, and the Union Pacific Railway,
Eastern Division, from Wyandotte, Kansas,
running south of the former, and destined
to San Francisco and the Gulf of California.
A correspondent of the London Globe
gives an account of a distrusting practical
