8. J. BOW, KDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CIiEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 20, 1867.
A Specimen "Brick."
The Lacrosse Democrat ia a worthy rep
resentative of the party of which it is a
leading organ. It was always an open,
hearty, and dertermined chanrpion of the
rebel cause. It predicted and virtually de
manded President Lincoln s rssassi nation ; it
exulted, and titill exults, over that fiendish
crime ; and it day by day denounces the
National Debt a huge, atrocious awindlu,
which is to be wiped out as soon as the De
mocracy gets into power. Here 'u one of
its latest ''bricks :"
'Rebellion crime." Liar in your throat Phil
Sheridan ! Every honr justifies the acta ef those
who. from Ball Run to Richmond, through four
yean of 'battle and blood, sacrifices and strug
gles, labored, suffered, fought, died, for the cause
of civil freedom. Every passing day proves the
soundness of their judgment, the wisdom of those
who strove for independence. Every revolving
year makes the 'lost cause' more sacred to the
lovers of liberty, dearer to the hearts of those who
were laitutul to it trom lU inception to its tempo
rary rail." ,
What do our brave soldiers think of
that? How do they like to hear Little
Phil, called a liar because he asserts that
"rebellion is a crime?" Haw do they like
to be told that the "lost came" of rebels is
"more sacred" than the preservation of the
Union. How do they relish the assertion
that "every . hour justifies the slaying of
their brave comrades at Ball Run, the Wil
derness. Winchester and in a hundred oth
er battles?" Surely treason is as bold and
defiant now as in the days of the rebellion !
Let the brave defenders of the Union, and
their friends, Dot forget these facts 1
The. Harkisbcrg Telegraph. This
popular and efficient Daily Republican or
gan, was established over eleven years ago,
and its success is beyond the most sanguine
expectations of its proprietors. It has been
enlarged during that period to double its
original size, with a fair prospect of another
enlargement. It is the largest daily now
published outside the commercial cities, and
contains all the latest news by telegraph,
besides the commercial reports, markets,
etc.', and will give during the sessions of
the State Legislature and National Con
gress complete and full reports of both those
bodies. The political complexion of the
Telegraph is so well known that we need
not refer to it, except to say that it will
prove a most efficient medium to spread
correct political truth among the people
during the approaching Presidential cam
paign, and as such should receive a liberal
support from the Republicans throughout
the State.' The Daily will be mailed to
subscribers during the Legislative session
at $2; or one year for $7. The price of
the Weekly is $2 a year, or five copies for

New Republican Journal. The Dai
ly State Guard, a new Republican morning
newspaper, to be started in llarrisburg. We
quote from the prospectus :
" The State Guard h designed to contri
bute to the success of Republican principles,
as they were enunciated through the plat
forms on which Abraham Lincoln was twice
elected to the Presidency. The united
voice of the Republican party of Pennsylva
nia demands an organ at the political centre
of the State, which, while, it will labor to
keep pace with the great journals in other
parts of the country in furnishing the people
with reliable news, will be a faithful advocate
of Republican measures, and at the same
time treat every honest and patriotic citizeu
with ire partiality and justice. It will be the
aim of the conductors to secure for republican
principles untrammeled success at all elec
tions, and demand for the Republicau mas
ses the purest and wisest representatives.
The proprietors and editors of The State
Guard are J. Rubley Dunglison, Wein
Forney and Levi Kaufman.
The weekly State Guard will be issued
from the office of the daily State Guard on
ednesday, December 11th, and Wednes
day ot each succeeding week.
Terrible Boilek Explosion at Pitts
burg. On Friday morning last a terrible
boilerexplosion, accompanied by severe loss
of life, occurred in a mill at Pittsburg. A
part of the building was blown into atoms,
and about twenty persons killed, and many
wounded. The explosion . occurred in the
forge portion of the mill, and the building
was soon wrapped in flames. . The cause of
the explosion will probably never be known,
as the engineer and fireman were the only
persons who could have given any informa
tion as to it, and they are among the killed.
The loss of property will probably reach
$10,000. -.
Donovan has confessed that he assisted in
the murder of the Quibb family, in York
county, and implicates Doyle (who was re-'
oently .acquitted) as an accomplice. It in
not likely that Doyle can be ' tried a second
time for the .same offense, V. Donovan will
undoubtedly be bung. 1
Our Autumn Work.
We are apt to forget and undervalue what
we have done. As a party born in convul-
sion, ana accustomed to tne nunoi victory,
we take no account ot success any longer,
unless it comes to us emphasized by over
whelming majorities. -'Let us tor one m o
mont hastily recapitulate our achievements
in the campaign ot 18G7. We have swept
Colorado and Nebraska; we have carried
Jowa by an increased inajoritv;we have
gained in Indiana at the local elections, tak
ing every Congressional district but one.
We hold, after a fresh and severe struggle,
Fuch States as Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Massachac-husetts, Kansas, Illlinuis, Michi'
gan, and Missouri, ltissotnetn.ag to nse
repulsed successively a desperate foe. JMore
than all this, we have advanced on the old
Democratic entreuchments and occupied
them. Virginia has declared for a conven
tionand that is the first point gained in
the conflict for State supremacy by 30,030
majority ; Louisiana by 71,075, and Alabama
by 81,937. Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkan
sas have followed suit, and in each of these
six ancient rf rongholds of the Democracy
we control, by working majorities at least,
that are to draft the new constitutions and
bring these States back into the ranks.
Texas, North and South Carolina promise
the same results. Is not this enough for
one fall ? Our "hearts are not bowed down
with sorrow," however theresu!t tray have
affected the Presidential breast. Philadel

Political Proscription. The Freed
meu's Bureau in Richmond is furnishing
supplies to about two hundred and fif tj- ne
groes who have been discharged by their em-
loyers for voting the Union ticket. Near
y three hundred more, who were also dis
charged for the same reason, are as yet able
to support themselves upon their past earn
ings. This little game of proscription is an
evilthat will sneedilj' work its own cure.
In the mean Ane it would be well for
the bureau officers to ascertain bow many
of thee proscription's have themselves
been beneficiaries of the Government
through that institution, and assess their
property to the amount which they have
received, lor the benefit of those whom they
have proscribed.
The existence of the Freedinen's Bureau
will terminate bylaw in July, 1867. Its
usefulness should induce Congress to extend
the time. Gen. Howard's report shows
that its expenses have been much less than
the appropriation, so that it will need no
more money for eight months. It ha or
ganized 2,207 schools, with 130,755 schol
ars an increase of 40,000 since the last re
port. Over one thousand of these schools
arc mainly supported by the freedmeu, -whj
also own 391 school houses, pay over s?l4,
000 monthly to educate their children.
There u no greater charily than this Bu
reau, and we are convinced that Congress
can hardly do the South a greater service
than to continue its existence. Paul.
Pater Money and Bread. The Chi
cago Tribune of the 5th says: "There are
in store to-dav (in Chicago) somewhere in
the neighborhood of 1,000,000 bushels of
wheat, representing fully two and one-half
millions ef dollars, and it is safe to say that
the hanks have advanced on it to the extent
of nearly two million. Navigation will
close in about two weeks, aDd unless some
vigorous efforts are now made to force it to
the seaboard, the banks will be obliged to
carry it, and the accumulation of the win
ter months, until the opening of navigation. "
Mrs. Lincoln's Fortune. The Hon.
David Davis, administrator of the late A
braham Lincoln, lias made a final settlement
of the estate, at Springfieid. After paying
all the debts, there remained $110,204,62,
which, divided among the widow and heirs
gives $ 36.765,30 to Mrs. Lincoln, and the
same amount to each s?n'. Robert T. Lin
coln has received his share and also that of
the minor heir, Thomas (Tad.) The a
mount due Mrs. Lincoln, less about $4,000
heretofore drawn, is subject to her order.
A Fearful Leap. On Nov. 1 1th, a de
serter from the army in Dacofah, who wnv
arrested in Philadelphia and on his way to
Pittsburg, jumped .from tiie car window
three mil ;is west d" IJ!airsvi!le Intersection.
He was haai-cufled at the time, and the
train running at the rateof thirty-five miles
au hour. The train returned and picked
up the man. who was found to be to seri
ously injured as nofclkely to recover. He
was taken to the Soldiers' Home in Pitt3

Serenade. President Johnson was ser
enaded on Wednesday evcniBr. Nov. 13th.
by a motley crowd of Rebels, Copperheads
ana uovernmnt officials, who assembled in
front of the Y hite House to congratulate
him on the result of the recent elections.
sxr. Johnson re-ponded in a short speech
written out for him by Jerry Rlack or some
one else, the substance of which was that
the people endorsed bis policy and he thank
ed God for it. The serenade was a humbug
and a Jaree throughout.

The Macon (111.) Statesman has placed

Felix M'Ciosky, in an interview with the
President, on the 15th, told Mr. Johnson
that Gov. Seymour, of New York, would be
the Democratic candidate for the Presiden
cy in case Chase should be the candidate of
the Republicans, and should the latter nom
inate Grant, the Democrats would run Gen.
Sherman. Mr. M'Ciosky also toid the
President that there was no chance for him
getting the nomination of the Democratic
conventions, all of which seemed ro be very
bad news tobim, judging by his countenance
during the interview.
Senator Sherman proposes to introduce a
new bill for funding the public debt as it
matures into six per cent, loan, or American
consol, with a tax of one per cent., making
it equal to the five per cent, loan, the bonds
to run not less than thirty years.
The President, on the 16th, directed the
muster-out of Daniel E. Sickles, as Major
General of Volunteers, to take effect on the
1st of January, 1868. Gen. Sickles will re
tain his position as Colonel of the 44lh reg
ular Infantry.
Assistant Attorney General Binckiey has
prepared and submitted to the President an
ooinion in the case of Gen. Fitz John Por
ter, and the probability is that an order will
shortly be issued granting him a new trial.
Secretary Wells has been quitG ill for sev
eral weeks but is getting better.
It is understood to be the decision of the
Treasury Department that unless holders of
7-30s shall present them for conversion in
5-20 Bonds at maturity, option to make such
conversion is lost, and 7-30s will afterwards
be paid in greenbacks.
Congress. The Warren Mail, in an ar
ticle reviewing the discussions of the Con
gressional question in Erie county, concludes
its remarks thus: "In this connection
while simply letting our readers know what
our neighbors are driving at it may bo
well to state that the friends of Gen. John
Pattoa, of ClearSald, ar-c looking to his
chances for a second term iu case a new man
is taken ur. The General's great popular
ity in thosj Couutio? so ably and faithfully
represented by him heretofore, will make
him a formidable competitor in the'Vild
cat District,' in case he should be prevailed
upon a second time to be an applicant for
Congressional honors. Should he succeed
our friends in Eric, wh.i are so bothered to
find out who they want and how to get him,
will know as we in his old district know,
just what a genial, impartial and faithful
representative he is."
Chivalry Revived. About 12 o'clock
on Thursday, November 14, as E. A. Pol
lard, the historian of Lee and his Lieuten
ants, was passing in front of the Maltby
House, Baltimore, he was approached by a
son and nephew II. A. Wise, named John
and Douglass, each of whom fired at Pol
lard, one.of the shots passing through the
right arm, Pollard having his wife cn his
left arm at the time. Pollard drew his pis
tol, but was unable to raise it on account of
the wound, and the ball struck the pave
ment. The Wises came up in the morning,
from Richmond to obtain satisfaction from
Pollard for a letter recently published by
the latter, io reply to a letter of Henry A.
Wise on his (Pollard's) history of i he war,
and had previously declared their intention
to shoot him on sight. They are both in
custody to await an cxatninatiou.
A Singular Aspect. Two conspicuous
individuals are going to be tried, the one
for attempting to extend the area of free
dom, the other for endeavoring to set sla
very on firmer foundations. Both were rev
olutionary, the ona attacking a despot
ic government, the other a free one!
Both were unsuccessful, and heuce their tri
al. Garibaldi, the champion of freedom,
was overpowered by the combination of des
pots against him ; Jefferson Davis was o
verpowered by freemen. . Yet we hear the
lips of men, professing respect for civil lib
erty and human rights, reviling Garibaldi
with all the epithets familiar to hatred and
contempt. Is it not fair evidence of their
sympathy with Jefferson Davis and of a
wish that he had been successful in dismem
bering and destroying the Union ?
Gold Discovery. It is said that, at
West Middlesex, Meicercounty, Penn'a the
workingmen employed by Colonel James
Hemphill, in sinking a shaft for ore or coal,
struck a vein of rock, strongly intermixed
with a substance at first supposed to be sul
phur. Upon the examination of the rock
by Colonel Hemphill and his superinten
dent, Mr. Mills, and after severe tests, they
pronounce it to be gold of superior quality,
and capable of yielding five thousand dol
lars to the ton. The rock is about the same
as that in which the Greene county gold is
said to have been found, and lies about one
hundred feet below the coal level.

Sir John Pranklin's Remains.!'
By the arrival of . the steamer Niinrod,
Capt. Chapel, at St. John's, N. F.,rora
the Arctic fishing grounds, we have some in
formation of the progress Captain Hall is
making in his search for the remains of the
late Sir John Franklin. It appears that,
having been disappointed in obtaining a team
of dogs, Capt. Hall had started on a sledging
tour,'in the course ot which he met a party
of hostile Esquimaux, from whom he learn
ed that at about the time of the loss of Sir
John Franklin's vessel, some white mon
carried a dead body on shore, and built a
brick vault which they carefully cemented,
and in which they deposited the corpse, af
terward covering the vault with heavy stone
flags. This body Mr. Hall believes to be
the remains of Sir John, and his intention
is to visit the locality and satisfy himself
upon the point, if possible. Since, howev
er, this region is inhabited by hostile natives,
Mr. Hall has thought it necessary to take
with him a small force of whits men. To
secure this he offered $500 in gold each to
any five men in the whaling fleet who would
accompany him. Of course, he secured his
men, and all hands will start this fall on their
journey, so that it is not improbable that
next summer we may receive definite infor
mation as to the resting place of Sir John
Franklin. Capt. Hall has secured many
valuable articles formerly owned by Sir
John's party.
The Temperance Cause. It is a source
of no small gratification to the friends of
temperance to know that the good work is
steadily and strongly advancing through
out the State. The comparatively quiet
but persistent efforts of its advocates, aided
and directed by the faithful zeal and busi
ness tact ot the corresponding secretary of
the Jrennsyivania otate leniperance union,
Rev. G. D. Chenoweth, have been main
ly directed to organizing the State on the
Temperance question by forming Counry
Societies auxiliary to the State Union.
This work is progressing rapidly and so
far as done, seems to be well done, as we
gather from a recent report of the correspon
ding secretary covering the time from the
1st of April to the 1st of November, in
which we find what mcy be called effective
work for so short a time. Thirty County
Conventions have been held by him and
thirty County Temperance Societies formed.
He has attended three synods enroled over
4,500 names on the Temperance pledge,
made over two' hundred addresses and trav
elled about 7,000 miles.
When the secretary shall have completed
the organization of the State by county as
sociations, the temperance question will be
iu the best form for making and directing
public opinion so as to control! the liquor
business in a manner agreeable not only to
public morals, but to the public welfare
generally, and thereby remove a large por
tion of the poverty, crime and wretchedness
that now follows the sale and use of intoxi
catiDg drinks. Prof. IIillmai.
The Louisville Democrat says : "We know
positively that there does exist in the breasts
of Secessionists aud Southern sympathizers
a violent and personal hostility to Union
men. We know that they consider they
have a revenge to wreak upon those who
were for the Union, and that many of tbem
have sworn never to support for office any
Union man." These are the men who rejoice
at Democratic victories in the North, and
for whose return to power the Democratic
party is now struggling.
After all the abnso ripjinod
Stanton for the arrest and incarceration of
General Charles P. Stone, it turns out from
revelations in Mr. Lssing's history, just
published, that his arrest was brought about
by Gen. M'Clellan, the conspicuous enemy
of Mr. Stanton. It is a remarkable fact that
there never has been a thorough investiga
tion ef the Ball's Bluff blu nucr. There are
I olhccrs of the army who could impart much
J interesting information about it.
The personal character of a large part of
the men elected in New York City is far be

; fighters among the elect. But they are all
Democrats, aud that covers the whole as

A person in Southern Ohio fell into a

two days, when a bright idea struck him.
He kicked the lid off and got out. The
neighbors shot at him for a ghost, and
through much tribulation he finally gut back
to his own home.
The Republicans of New York City have
nominated Wm. A. Darling for Mayor.
The Mozart Democracy have put up Fer
nando Wood,and the Tammany branch May
or Hoffman. A lively contest is expected,
with the chances in favor of Hoffman.
Even Wendell Phillips cannot fail to do
justice to Gen. Grant. In a recent lecture
he said of him : "He is the man of granite
and irou. It was because he was granite and
iron that be carried us safely through Vir
ginia." There were two heavy failures in Phila
delphia on Monday, one a dry goods com-
mission house, liabilities $SOO,000, and a
machinist, liabilities $30,000. The assets
in either case arc small.
Wendell Phillips says that the Republi

How it was Done.
The New Yofk Citizen, edited by a pem- J
ocrat, gives the following glance at the means
whereby the vote wassoswelled in New York i.
City at the recent election :
"It is notorious that the Tammany organiza
tion, utterly unscrupulous, aud with uncontrolled
access to the Citv Treasury, must have gpeut an
aggregate of 4301). 000 of private and public mon
ey- in the recent contest. All the raj rolls of the
city departments for the past two months have
Deen lengthened and strengthened by thousands ,
upon thousands of sinecure -inspectors' and other j
place-holders assigned to nominal duty, but re- '
any witn no otcer charge than to electioneer fi,r
the Tammany candidates. Apart from lbee
sources of pablis or place holding corruption, wa
have reason to know, beyond any question, that
the friends of one single Tammany candidate
subscribed and paid out in his behalf, and for his
private benefit, in the late contest, a sum more
than four times the aggregate of the entire sum
in the hands of the DemocrUic Union treasurer
for the conduct and organisation of our entire
campaign,
"It is notorious, also, that with the enormous
money power thus placed under its control, there
was au enormous illegal or 'repeating' vote or
ganized and registered in the Tammany interest
say not less than from 17.000 to 20 0U0 fraudu
lent votes ol which not less than from 10.000 to
12.000 reached the ballot-box in favor of the
Tammany candidates; the remainder being either
tcared off by the activity and early arrests by the
police, or being unable, fiom sheer lack of time
between sunrUe and sunset, to vote in as many
election districts as they were registered in one
case having been trustworthily reported tons of
a man who wus registered in no less than Jifty
riht election districts! Holding these facts in
view, let us now consider and review what was
the fate of our candidates."
Gr.s. Grant a Tariff Man. Henry C.
Carey, the eminent political economist,
presided at the formation of a Graut Club,
in Philadelphia, on Monday evening. In
the course of tome remarks he made, he
said, "Grant is in favor of the great agri
cultural interests of the country and of a
protective tariff, and of his Radicalism there
is no doubt." Mr. Carey would riot make
declarations that were not well founded. Mr.
O.'Neill, member of Congress, also said he
knew Grant personally, and endorsed his
Radicalism.'
Mr. Stevens. The Washington des
patch to the Philadelphia 1 W of Fridaj-,
says: The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens is
much improved in health, and his journey
here had no injurious effect upon him. He
was called upon to-day ly a la; ge number of
his friends.' Secrettiry Seward called at five
o'clock, but did not see Mr. Stevens. He
convprwd freely Mid hopefully about he
situation of the country, and does not seem
ai all disturbed or frightened about the re
sults of the rewnt elections.
The Philadelphia North American well
remarks that "General Grant ha3 set an ex
ample that Congress would do well to imi
tate. He ha applied the pruning knife
boldly, and lopped off excrecenes aud done
a good work. Every million thus saved is
so mucli surplus to be applied to the con
traction of the principal of the interest-bearing
debt.''
One of the strongest arguments i favor
f doing business on a cash principle is the
fact that at present the branches of trade
that are the dullest are those in which the
longest credit is given. Houes that do a
nearly cash business have the best trade,
and the least iuconvcnicncc in meeting their
obligations.
