S.J. SOW. BDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
C I J3ARFTELD', PA. , NOV: 6, 1867.
rJ. " " Repudiating Dodges. (
-: Hie Al 1" Herald saya : "No " sensible
person proposes, we sop pose, to issue two
thousand millions of Government money.
and pay on the de&t at once with that.
-"Yes; George H. Pendleton does propose
just" that.. . Henry "Clay ,Dean' proposes it.
Yallandigham proposes it.. ( Every Western
Copperhead of any account" proposes it.
And you are deceiving your readers when
you assert, that they do not. :, , , -j j
'" The Jlerald continues : "What is meant
by paying in greenbacks is to keep as much
of that currency, afloat as the country can
reasonably ' bear, and by no means to -contract
the present amount till all - or a large
portion, of the debt be liquidated. : That is
the proposition, and that, we think, is what
the country will come to. ': And what injus
tice would be done ? Who would be injured?
Nearly all of: the "bondholders would be
paid more titan they gave for the bonds.'' , ,
, Here is the old game of scaling the debt,
which Hamilton put his foot on in 1790. -A
man walk up ro the Treasury and says,
"Mr. Treasurer, here is the promise of the
"United Statesto pay $ 1,000 to bearer on
"demand; I want the money." ."WeDf
bere is $465," responds the Treasurer f "it
4is all that the bond cost you." If this
isn't the answer of a scoundrel,' then there
never was a scoundrel. Tribune.'-'
. i . m.m
Aerkstof Counterfeiters.- Mention
has heretofore been made of ; Belgian franco
counterfeiters. Colonel Wood, of the secret
service division, with bis force, has contin
ued on their track, and Staucque,-an expert
lithographer,' and Ulrico,' an expert engra
ver, two of the gang, have been secured
and are now in jail in Toronto, Canada, a
waiting an order for their transfer to Brook
lyn, New York, according to the extradi
tion treaty. Cushard, one of the same gang
counterfeited all kinds of greenbacks , and
fractional currency,' five 'hundred ' dollar
botes included, and well designed gold bear
ing interest coupons of various' bonds.
Colonel Wood has secured all 'the presses,
etones, plates, dies and tools of this gang,
including plates of gold bearing coupons.
There are over fifty of these stones, with
impressions of counterfeit plates on them
from five cent notes to one thousand dollar
notes. One of the gang attempted to erase
the impression of the plates on the stones,
after his partners were arrested, by the use
of sand and water, but the attempt proved
a failure, for Colonel Wood expects to re
store the face of the impression by chemical
process.
. -
German Uxor. The Government of
Bavaria and Wurtembera have rejoined the
ZoRvercin, and the powerful bond of com
mercial unity is now clos ely uniting all North
and South Germany. It was the ZoRvercin
which more than any other cause prepared
the degree of political unity which was es
tablished in 1866 ; and there can be no
doubt that it will now be instrumental in
consummating the work of national union.
The military alliance concluded in August
last between the South Ge rman States and
Prussia has also been ratified by the Diets
of Bavaria and Wurtem berg. The ratifica
tion of this alliance was opposed by a part of
the Democratic party and of the Catholic
party, but the strong current of national as
pirations has overcome all obstructions.
Both in a military and in a commercial point
of view,; Germany, with the exception of
the Austrian provinces, is now a unit.
' ROMB. The French troops have entered
Home. The Papal troops are to assume the
offensive. Garibaldi was encamped five
miles from Rome, on the 30th of October,
awaiting reinforcements. , Napoleon .de
mands the expulsion of Garibaldi by the
King of Italy and then he will retire.
Prussia to. remain neutral on the Roman
question- Such is the tenor of the latest
news, and warm work may be near at hand.
Further news is anxiously looked for.
The Virginia Election. The official
vote of Virginia is as follows : Whites, 75
924; Colored, 93,650. For Convention,
14,835 Whites ; 92,507 Colored. Against
Convention, 61,089 Whites; G38 Colored.
Gen. Schpfield, iri view of the complaints
of fraud, is about to order a new census of
the voting population of Richmond.
"Which? Miles . O'Reilly insists that
twiee as many Democrats as Republicans
volunteered as soldiers in the lata war. - It
is important, while considering this state
ment, to know whether O'Reilly counts
the .Democrats who went into both armies.
No one ever claims that a Republican went
into a rebel army, while all concede that the
confederate forces were entirely composed
of Democrats.
Colfax well says : "Every stamp you put
upon a deed, a check or" a mortffaro. in a
Democratic sticking plaster to remind you of J
a Democratic Rebellion." j
; "Washington City Gossip.
- The scheme' t)f retrogression in" the South
has assumed a wider range than :iAndrew
Johnson ever intended- Those who. doubt
ed thatthe rebels would attempt to regain
their lost cause if encouraged. to do' so by.
the Northern i: elections begin to adroit that
they were wrong. The rebels boldly look to
recover everything, beginning with compen
sation for .their slaves. Wigfall and Benja
min are in London collecting evidences of
the Confederate debt in British hands, so as
to make a case when the South, readmitted to
all her rights, refuses to pay her share of
the national taxes unless her war obligations'
are acknowledged.: Herschel .V. Johnson
is engaged to recover damages for cotton tax
piid into the treasury on the g round of its
unconstitutionality, and this even while he
and his associates are whining for its repeal.
The number of claims for damages presc nted
by these virtuous saints is endless. . They
are not only besieging the departments,- but
the courts ; and the rally against the confis
cation law has become almost as fashionable
as that against the negroes 'Every District
febel who fought against his country, and
lost his property here for doing so, is back a
motig us, under A. J.'s protection, 'demand
ing "indemnity for the past and security for
the future.." ' :.-?. . - - ;
- The approach of the long session "of Con
gress is a sore fact for the wicked plotters,
who know that the whole of their pro
gramme depends upon the One Man in the
Presidential office. -. ' 1 '"' '"' "
It is officially announced that none of the
counterfeit 7-30 bonds bear date prior to the
18th of August last. . - .
'A well executed counterfeit 10-dollar bill
on the Third .National Bank of Phila
delphia, was received through th Post of
fice by a government official, in payment of
a debt. . . .. '.. ;"
- The tone of the rebel papers is as threat:
ening as before the war, when they deman
ded to be released from the white Radicals.
Now they demand to be released, from the
black ' Radicals, simply because the" latter
would not vote as they commanded. We
should have no complaint against negro ju
rors, or witnesses, or councilrncn.;or legisla
tors, or even Congressmen, if only the ne
groes had consented to act in all cases like
the rebels. -. ; -, .,,.!'' ' - v f :
Some of the detectives of the Treasury
Department profess to have infoniation lead
ing to the conclusion that only about $150,
000 of counterfeit 7-30 notes were printed,
and these wore divided among three parties,
to be put in circulation.
A letter from ono of th. Southern Dis
trict cemmaders states, that the rebels re
gard the result of the elections in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio as an endorsement of the
sympathisers with the. "lost cause," who
will in due time advocate the payment of all
losses sustained by the rebels during the
War. That this is not a mere fanciful idea,
says the writer, may be gathered from the
fact that the late slave holders, all through
his district,' pre preparing lists of the slaves
held by them at the.time they rebelled, and
are having them valued at the current mar
ket rates of 1860. The people should re
member these facts if they would avoid re
pudiation and national ruin.
? The counsel of Jeff. Davis have not as
yet, signified their assent to the proposition
of Judge Chase, that the rebel chief be
tried on the 13th of November.
The receipts from Internal Revenue for
October were about $14,500 000.
The President, on Nov. 2nd. received dis
patches fully confirming those previ
ously received by the Indian Bureau, and
showing that treaties of peace have been nego
tiated with all of the hostile Indian tribes
by the Indian, Commission sent out in Au
gust, The fact causes considerable rejoic
ing in official circles. It is estimated that
the treaties will save fifteen millions of dol
lars per annum to the Government
General Grant continues the work of re
trenchment. To-day there were forty-nine
clerks of the first, second and the third class
honorably discharged from the Paymaster' s
Department. They are discharged from
the 30th of November, and up to that time
are allowed leave of absense. This gives
them a month to secure other situations.
There are now seventy-five clerks in the De
partment, ten more than the law allows.' -
Comptroller Ilurlburd has written a let
ter expressing the opinion that the Nation
Banks have not the right to receive packa
ges of valuable securities, plate or other
things for safe keeping under the power
granted to receive deposits; that to take
theni is a transgression of the law, and that
banks receiving such '.deposits are liable to
be proceeded against.
B. II. Hill, of Georgia, is out in another
letter, in which he says that the reconstruc
tion plan of Congress cannot succeed since
tbe late elections, and demands that the
South should be restored to her rights l it
is a very silly and laughable tirade. ...
Beauregard, who was lately here to secure
re-possession of his plantation near Mem
phis, did not accomplish the object of his
mission. General Grant refuses to restore it.
The" Way it is Done in Utah. At a
late Tabernacle meeting one of , tho Mor
mon elders read off a list of ycfing mormons
of various trades apd capacities, who had
been selected to go into the Souterapart of
the territory and found a new settlement.
They were ordered to find themselves plen
ty wives and start. r . .

Thanksgiving Proclamation
I3elow we "give' the proclamation of - Gov.
Geary, recommending Thursday, Novem
ber 23tl jM a,'day of. thanksgiving to Al
mighty God for the blessings he vouchsafed
to us during the past year :
, By the" Governor of Pennsylvania A
Proclamation : From the creation ot the
world, in all. ages and climes, it has' been
customary to "set apart certain days for spe
cial religious observance. This has not al
ways been influenced by the light of Chris
tian knowledge, uor by any proper concep
tion of the character of that Great Being
'who ruleth' the ' earth iu righteousness,"
and "who dayly loaiieth with hi benefits ;
but by an innate sense of the existence of an
over-rulingJPowcr, by which the world and
all it contains, are governed and controlled.
Aided by the dictates of cultivated reason,
and the teaching of Divine revelation, we,
however,' are taught to recognize in that Su
preme Ruler a' Heavenly Father, to whom
we are indebted for existence and all the
blessings we- enjoy, and to whom . we owe
constant and ' fervent ' thanksgiving and
praise. It is He who vvisiteth the earth
and watereth it:" who "setteththe furrows
and blesseth the springings thereof;" who
"crowneth the year with llis goodness, and
whose paths drop fatness;" who "clotheth
the pastures with flocks, and covcrest the
valleys with corn';"' who Mmaketh the out
goings of the morning and of the evening to
rejoice '; ' who "is our refuge and strength ;"
who "maketh Vars to cease," and "saveth
us from our enemies;" whose "throne is
forever' and ever," arid who "blesseth the
nations whose God is the Lord." ' '
1 On all sides we have increased assurances
6f the "loving-kindness" of an All-wise Pa
rent of Good, who has conducted our nation
through a long and terrible war, and per
mitted our people to repose once more in
safety, '-'without any to molest them or to
make them afraid." ; 'The monstrous senti
ment of disunion is no longer tolerated.
The Flag," the Union, and the Constitution
are esteemed as the safeguards of the rights
and liberties of the people, and are revered
and defended as the ark of their political
Bafety. '' " ' '
A kind Pi ovidence has not grown weary
of supplying our continuous wants. A
bounteous harvest has rewarded the labors
of the husbandman. Flocks and herds are
scattered in countless numbers over our val
leys and hills. Commerce is uninterrupted,
and vessels laden with the products of na
ture and of art, speed; unmolested, over the
trackless deeps. Neither pestilence, fam
ine, political or social evils, financial embar
rassments or rommercial distress have been
permitted to f-tay the progress and happi
ness of the people of this great Common-
'wealth '; but. peace,' health, education, mor
ality, religion, social improvement and re
finement, with their attendant blessings,
have filled the cup of .'comfort and'enjoj;
ment to 6verflowing. ' .
r Recognizing our responsibility .to Him
who controls the destinies of nationsas well
as of individuals, and " trom whom cometh
down every good and perfect gitt, .V an:t to
whom we, are deeply indebted for all thes
and the richer. blessings of oui; couimoa
Christianity, let us unitedly give our most
devout gratitude and hearty thanksgiving. s
I, therefore, do hereby recommend that;
THURSDAY, THE 2Stii DAY OF NO
VEMBER NEXT, be set apart as a day of
praise and thanksgiving, that all, secular
and worldly business be suspended, nd the
people assemble in their various places of
worship to acknowledge their gratitude and
offer up prayers for a continuance of Divine
favor,u
Given under my Hand and the Great Seal
of the State, at Harrisburg, this thirty
first day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven,
and of the Commonwealth the
ninety-second. John V. Geary.
By the Governor : F. Jordan, Sec. of State.
The President of the United States, has
also issued a proclamation recommending
the saui J day, as a time of thanksgiving for
the many blessings extended to us, as a na
tion, by an All-wise Providence.
An Interesting Relic. Workmen ex
cavating a cellar in Monroe county, Indiana,
a few days ago, came upon an interesting
memento of the "forgotten race." The
workmen struck what at first appeared to be
a sound ledge of rock, and sitting down to
rest, one of their number began idiy to pick
at an apparent fissure, when a block of stone
nearly two feet square disappeared with a
dull thump. The men set eargerlyat work,
and removing the bottom of the pit disclos
ed a chamber with six feet ceiling, and eigh
teen by twenty-five foet within the walls,
which are of solid, neatly seamed stone
work. Ranged in rows, on rudely construc
ted platforms, were twelve skeletons, each
with tomahawk and arrow heads at its side,
ear-rings and bracelets of solid silver lying
where they dropped, and piles of what ap-
f reared to have been furs, each pile crumb
ing to dust as soon as exposed to the light.
A number of tools, made of copper and har
dened equal to the best cast steel, were also
unearthed, and fresh discoveries are con
stantly being made '
The. Indian Treaties. Advices from
the plains give the substance of the peace
treaties recently ratified between tbe Kiowa
and the Comanche tribes and theIndian
Commissioners. These tribes are to be loca
ted on a large reservation between North
Fork of the Red River, and the Red River,
proper, arc to receive $25,000 annuity, to
be furnished with agricultural seeds and im
plements ; and granted certain privileges
regarding ' hunting, etc. In consideration
of these grants the Indians are to remain
upon the reservation, and cease from dis
turbing white settlers in any manner. The
Pacific railroads are also to be prosecu
ted to completion without further interfer
ence.
A Sad Story. The Elkaker (Iowa)'
Journal tells a mournful story about a young
fellow in Clayton county, named Money,
who was lately tempted .by poverty to steal
a yoke of oxen, which he 6old at McGregor.
His object was to secure money enough to re
move with his family to Missouri. After Bell
ing the oxen, he started with his family to
Stoughton, Wisconsin, but his crime came
out he was pursued, arrested, and brought
back, but hia wife went to her destination in
ignorance of why he had to return. ., Time
ran on, and he had to, tell her the facts.
When she read his letter, and the truth
broke upon her, it broke her heart, and she;
jcit the room only as a corpse.
Teachers County Institute, ,
Below,we publish-a syno.pGs.of the pro
ceedings pf the'Teachers' Institute, held at
Curwensville, in September last i i X '
Tbe Institute met, pursuant to a call of
the County Superintendent, at Curwensville
on Monday nidrning,4 September 23d, at 9
o'clock, and continued in session five days. :
About ninietyfive teachers" present.'. The
officers were: George W. "Snyder, Pres't. ;
Samuel G. Kuntz and Frank E. Rafferty,
Vice Presidents ; J. L. Thompson and Tol
bcrt Robison, Recording Secretaries; Miss
Keturah Leonard, Corresponding Secretary ;
M iss Mary Cross, Treasurer.? " r. V f " j ;
i The:, proceedings of the' Institute ' were
chiefly class-drills, lectures, discussions and
the reading of essays arid reports. The top
ics chosen for reports and essays were such
as are of importance in themselves, and of
great moment to all interested in the success
of our common school system.- The ques
tions discussed were of a similar -character.
Prof. I. S. Geist delivered two lectures each
day. The following resolutions were read
and adopted : ( r ;i i ; ; v;
ResolvetL,' That we, the student of the
Normal School, recognize in Prof. I. S.
Geist an able and efficient teacher, and that
by his labors and unabated -zeal, during his
stay, has greatly added to our advancement.
We, therefore, owe him our warmest thanks
and ho shall ever be kept in remembrance,
in view of his past labors amongst us, as
well as a veteran in the cause of education.
. Resolcest, That we trust our Superinten
dent will endeavor to procure the services of
Prof. Geist again 'next summer, as we be
lieve he has no superior. ' '' "' '-.
Resolved, That -George W. Snyder,, our
worthy County Superintendent, has, by his
untiring zeal, advanced the educational in
terests of the county, and has succeeded in
infusing an interest never before felt.' !'.' '
: Resolved, That we owe him our warmest
thanks for establishing a county Normal
School, thus affording us an opportunity of
preparing ourselves for the better discharge
of our duties; ; f;i.'-v, x ' ! ;-
Resolved, That we recommend to the
school Diwctors of the county, to increase
the- salary of the Couuty ; Superintendent,
knowing that he is not sufficiently compen
sated for the labor he has so well performed.
- Resolved, That we return our sincere
thanks to Rev. Kerns and Mr. Spencer, for
their able lectures." ' '"
Resolved. That we suggest to all Teach
ers to procure works on the theory of teach
ing and school government; and that we
recommend Prof. Wickersham's "School
Economy" as a work worthy the perusal of
all teachers. . - '
The Institute, we understand, was , very
harmonious, and the proceedings character
ized by an earnestness that bids fair for the
common schools of this county.- 1
ThirteenMonths in a Year. The A
mcrican Agriculturist for November has
reached us,aud as usual full of good things.
The present number dates from the new of
fice, 245 Broadway, and in addition to its
many other beautiful engravings, contains
a lull page cut giving a frout view of the new
quarters. - The . increased : business of the
Agriculturist has required new partners,
and an enlarged working force, and now its
necessities demand enlarged room. In the
description of the the store now. occupied
we are told that it is five stories in height ;
it has a front of 20 feet'on Broadway, a depth
of 114 feet, with an L projection, which
gives a wide entrance on Murray-st., with a
spacious basement ' extending under the
whole. . The front portion of the main floor
isoccupied as as ales-room for a lartre stock of
Agricultural and Horticultural books. Far
ther to the rear are the subscription and other
busiuess desks, while the basement is devo
ted to the important work of folding - and
mailing the paper. The printers' room, en
gravers' room, and editorial ."sanctum" are
are on an upper floor. . The cost of the A
meriean Agriculturist is only $1.50 for a
year, in advance, or four copies for $5. It
contains 32 to 40 large quarto pages, and is
beautifully illustrated. The publishers off
er the December number of that valuable pa
per free of chirge to all new subscribers for
1868, (Vol. 27)' who send their subscrip
tions during this month ot November. It
will be the best kind of an investment. Sub
scriptions should be sent to the publishers,
Orange Judd & Co., 245 Broadway, New
York City.
Russian Censorship. One of the vic
tims of Russians censorship in Poland is a
Polish prayer book, which, having passed
the hands of the regular inspector of the
press, fifteen thousand copies were printed
of it. Subsequently a zealous "sub" dis
covered some passages which to his official
mind appeared "patriotic." He lost no
time in forwarding this intelligence to head
quarters, and the consequence was that all
the copies were seized, and while the first
censor was on the point of being dismissed,
his underling received high praises, promo
tion, and "a high order" for "exceptionally
zealous fullfillment of his duties."
Tin Mines. The tin mines in Cornwall
have been worked for 300 years. They are
now, yielding 3,500 per annum. The Spanish
tin mines have been known nearly as long as
the Cornish ones. Tin was first discovered
in Bohemia and Meiseen in the twelfth cen
tury. There are tin mines inS txony,France,
Sweden, and Siberia; also, in Peru, Chile,
Bolivia, and Mexico. ; Those in Mexico and
South America were at work at the time of
(Jortez's invasion. The United States im
ported tin to the value of nearly six mill
ion dollars in 1860. . It chiefly caine from
the Malay peninsula.
The "Wrong" Train. As an illustra
tion of George Francis Train's intense pa
triotism, it is stated that, on one occasion,
he sent his wife on a ninety days', voyage
from Australia to New York, that their
coming child might be born on American
soil, as would become a possible future Pres
ident of the United States. . The journey
was a most troublous one, and the lady came
very near .being shipwrecked; but at last
reached this country in safety. The child
was born, and it was a girl.
' A Specimen 'Local. An ambitious
young fellow engaged himself as reporter
for a daily paper, at the end of the first day
produced the fjllowing: "We are inform
ed that the gentletran hoo stood on his hed
under a spile driver for the purpose uv hav
in a tite pair uv butes druv on, shortly af
terwards found himself in Chiny, perfectly
nakud, without a cent in his pocket. He
rites that it is his intenshun of returning by
the way uv the Paris Exposition."
MoRMoif PBEmpjtQjJS. Utah Territory
suffered severely during the past season from
the ravages of insects, and it is feared by
the Mormons that afamino' will be the re
sult during the present whiter.; It is also
stated in Mormon journals that the signs of
the last summer warrant a great locust sea
son during the next summer, when, the ed
itors predict, the locusts will otearun and
desolate the greater,, portion of the lands pf
the Gentiles in the East. Mormons are
bad prophets.
