CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 5, 1868.
. , Instruction of the Blind.
We acknowledge the receipt of the thirty
fifth annual report of the Managers of the
"Pennsylvania Institute for the Instruction
of the blind." . There are now in the school
one hundred and eighty-three blind persons.
Thirty-two of these support themselves whol
ly or irvpart, as assistant teachers, or in the
work department, five are full paying pu
pils, eleven in part, and eight are day schol
ars. By a series of carefully arranged fig
ures the Principal, William Chapin, Esq.,
shows that there are now 13,259 white blind,
and 15,635 total blind persons in the Uni
ted States. Of this number there are 1,090
in Pennsylvania, 278 in New Jersey, and Z6
in Delaware, the three States contributing
to the support of the Institution. Great
difficulty is experienced in providing em
ployment for. the blind after they have been
instructed and graduated from the college.
To obviate this, the report recommends the
establishment by philanthrophists of a man-"
ufactory where the blind may be employed
at fair wages. Such an establishment could
not be made self-supporting but it would
contribute largely towards ameliorating the
condition of those doomed in this world to
perpetual darkness. The yetem of educa
tion adopted by the School embraces not
only mental culture but practical instruc
tion in mechanics and general handiwork.
The factory attached to the institution,
where brushes, brooms, whisks, mats, car
pets, caned chairs, beadwork, knitting.sew
ing and general fancy work are made by the
pupils and graduated workmen, is very suc-
'essfully managed, and daring the prist year
"stock to the amount of $16,865 51 was made
up. The report shows a very gratifying
t state of affairs and reflects great credit on
those immediately connected with tho man-
i ,f ii.:.. ii r. .. i-i
ageuieut, ui ims uuuie institution, oi wnicn
Pennsylvania should feel justly proud.
What Does it Mean ? A report from
Washington says that the President has, for
iub uiuuieuL at least, ri&en uie question oi
. the Alabama claims out of the hands of Mr.
Seward and made a peremptory demand on
the English government for'a settlement.
It is added that :'they will be cuforced at
whatever hazard," and that if the British
Government does not respond satisfactorily
a declaration of war "must eventually en
8ue.'k Another report states that it is
thought the stay in this country of Mr.
Thornton, the new British Minister, will
not be long. lie left his family behind and
sailed with but a single servant. At first it
was thought that his selection had special
reference to the settlement of the Alabama
claims, but it is now denied that he has any
instructions in regard to that question. On
the contrary, it is asserted that England has
said and done all she intends, and will await
whatever may happen to be in store for her.
What does this mean ? Is there an under
standing between President Johnson and the
English officials to involve us in a war?
A Rebuke to Doughfaces. In his last
speech Ez-Gov. Brown of Georgia said :
"The people North have been told lately
that the acts of Congress establish negro su
premacy and white subordination in the
South. The charge is false. It was the
. perverse obstinacy of the white race refusing
to take control that gave the negroes power
in the convention. There is fifteen thous
and white majority in Georgia. With this
majority and the boasted superiority of the
. ii - i
race, intellect, euucation, experience and
wealth, it is a libel on the white man to say
that negroes can rule intellect and capital,
and control numbers everywhere."
Why Shouldn't They? The New
York Herald prints a New Orleans dispatch
which says "the rebels and conservatives
have combined under the name of Democra
cy and are determined in their opposition to
th radicala." This, we believe, is the first
formal throwing off of the mask. The sym
pathy existing between the "rebels and con
servatives" has never been doubted, but the
nuptials have not before been published.
Having coalesced during the war to destroy
the Government, why should not "the reb
els and conservatives" come together on
questions growing out of the rebellion, "un
der the name of Democracy ?"
So Then? A Copperhead papain Mich
igan threatens Gen. Grant with assassination
in case Congress puts the work of recon
struction into his hands. The Copperheads
tried once before to defeat reconstruction by
murder.
A Fact. The chief argument of Copper
heads and Rebels is murder. A very potent
mode of discomfiting a political opponent,
f. nrely ? -
Another Murder 1
A murderous and fatal assault was made
uDon an Irishman named Casey, on the pub-
! lie highway, near Clearfield Borough, on
Tuesday evening, January 23th the circum
stances connected therewith being substan
tially as follows :
Casey was one of the number of Irish
railroad laborers who fraudulently voted at
Philipsburg, Centre county, on the Second
Tuesday of October, 1 SOT. O n Wednesday
morning, January 23d, 1868, Casey and
three others were taken to Harrisburg, by
proper officers sent hither, to testify in the
contested election case (llobisou vs. Shugart)
now in progress before a Committee of the
State Senate. On the evening of the mur
derous assault upon him, (Tuesday, Jan.
2Sth,) Casey was returning to his home here,
when he was set upon by a number of un
known persons, about one mile cast of this
place, and struck on the left side of the head
with some heavy bludgeon, and left lying,
helpless and unconscious, on the highway to
perish from the wounds inflicted upon him.
In this unconscious condition Casey was
found, with his face buried in the snow, by
a farmer, who took up the injured man, plac
ed him in a sled, and brought him to a hotel
in this borough. A physician was at once
summoned, who dressed the wounds of the
injured man, and used every effort to restore
him to consciousness and save his life ; but
all was of no avail, and he died on Saturday
morning, February 1st never having recov
ered his reason to designate who were his
murderers.
Notwithstanding the facts relating to the
assault upn Casey, and the great probabil
ity ot his dying from the injuries received,
were known to the officers of the law, yet no
steps were taken to ferret out and secure the
perpetrators of tbii horrible crime, until
after the death of the victim. Now, why
this winking and conniving at crime? Why
this delay to discover and secure the assas
sins of Casey? Was it because the perpe
trators of the deed were so-called Democrats
and for the purpose of allowing them to es
cape because their vengeance fell upon one
who had just testified to the election frauds
committed in the interest of that, party?
This seems to be the only plausible hypoth
esis, as there is no good reason why officers
of the law should otherwise exhibit so great
inattention to duty in so plain and flagrant a
case. True, ; Casey died from the wounds
inflicted upon him by a number of highway
assassins and that the guilt of his death is
immediately chargeable to them for dealing
the fatal blows, yet, had these "guilty ones
succeeded in making their escape on account
of inaction, would the officers have been en
tirely blameless in the eys of the law? ' Let
them answer this question satisfactorily to
themselves, if they can !
But again : How far does culpability at-
f tach to the leaders of the Democratic party
who concocted and instigated the causes that
ultimately led to the murder of Casey?
Where do the persons stand who planned
and advised the frauds upon the ballot-box
in Philipsburg ? How far are those answer
able who forged and furnished the fraudu
lent naturalization papers to bring about the
eleotion of Mr. Shugart in the Centre county
Senatorial district? Are all these free from
any responsibility in the death of this too
confiding and illiterate man ? These are
highly important and serious questions. Let
those who were in any way instrumental in
bringing about the frauds at Philipsburg
answer them, if they can, to the satisfaction
of their own consciences.
That Casey was murdered, there is no de
nying for he is dead ! That somebody is
amenabie for the crime, is equally true ! We
do not pretend to say who is guilty, or not
guilty, lor the reason that we do not know ;
but that the responsibility of the crime rests
with members of the so-called Democratic
party, there is no doubt ! Will any one dare
to deny this assertion ? But we will leave a
discriminatingand impartial and law-abiding
public judge for themselves as to who is.re
spcnsible, or not responsible, for the sudden
and tragic death of Case3T a stranger in a
strange land, and the victim of a political
conspiracy because he dared to tell the truth
when compelled to do so by the laws of his
adopted country.
The First Gun. The special election for
Congressman iu the Eighth Ohiodistrict.was
held on Monday Jan. 27th, and resulted in
the choice of Gen. John Beatty.the Repub
lican candidate, by over one thousand ma
jority. Last year Gov. Hayes carried the
district by only 246 majority. Where is
thnt "great reaction" of which the Democ
racy have been boasting for some time ?
Just So ! In I860 the leaders of the so
called Democratic party threatened to rebel
if Lincoln was elected. Now, the leaders of
the same party, North and South Rebels
and Copperheads-are makingsimilar threats
of rebelling in case Grant is elected. -Will
the people make a note of these facts?
'Apropos. The murder of Casey, near
this place, is a good subject for our neigh
bor's "Greeley Reformation," column. Will
George avail himself of the opportunity to
"trot" out his favorite "nag," or will he put
the "gag-bit" in its mouth, as In th iUnllon
jewelry transaction? We shall see.,
Rev. Thomas K. Beecher gives the fol
lowing expression to an undoubted fact :
"The less a man knows, and iho
uor he drinks. the more detenuino.l du ;. I
make this a white man's government," I
4 T?.,,t ''T.ivvt.y" Coon Hunt.
The Dayton Journal mentions some of the
incidents which enlivened a coon nunc at
Phillipsburg, in that vicinity, on - Sunday
morning. A coon was treed, the tree fel
led, and a coach dog belonging to a young
man named Skyles seized the coon, lhe
i.. iho l.r. nf the fio-ht. when Miner
Walker, in attempting to make a diversion
in favor or tne dog wun a milh., suuw me
latter accidentally and killed him. Skyles
was ensured at the death of his dog, and fel
led Walker with a club,knocking him sense
less. Jacob Milton, a friend ot Walker,
seized the axe with which the tree had been
felled, and chopped into Skyles shoulder.
Whereupon Daniel Crow drew a revolver
and shot Milton on the riht shoulder,
wounding him severely. The party were
subsequently arrested.
An exchange thinks that Gen. Grant has
been pretty well started in the race for the
Presidency, inasmuch as he is being calum
niated in the most disgraceful manner al
ready. We don't know, however, if any
man is well started on a political race until
his wife has been pretty well attacked and as
yet all we have heard about Mrs. Grant is
that she is a low, vulgar, uneducated wo
man, of no refinement of person or manner,
and totally unfitted tor any position which a
lady should fill. This may appear to be bad
enough, but it is not a tithe of whac was
said of Mrs. Jackson, or Mrs. Fillmore,
or of the most of the ladies of the White
House prior to their elevation to that posi
tion, and JMrs. Grant will have to stand a
great deal more before she sees her husband
at the head of the Government.
What They Are Doing. The New
York Herald tells us what is going on in
the Democratic Presidential cam p as follows :
"While the copperheads out Wet are rais
ing a prodigious clamor overGeorsrc II. Pen
dleton as .their favorite for the Presidency
against the field, the drummers and filers of
Tammany Hall are said to be earnestly deba
ting the advantages of rally under the genu
ine old Jacksonian democratic banner of
Andrew Johnson. They have, it appears,
taken Seymour at his word and dropped
him ; and they have concluded that the
prestige of .McCleUan is that or detcat; and
they don't like Pendleton for the same reas
on ; and they don't know Hancock, and so
they are turning to the wise advice of John
Van IJuren in turning to Andrew Jonason."
The Cheyenne Star says that the colored
voters of that city passed muster at the
poll so long as they offered to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket ; but when they came with a
Radical ticket they were driven away. The
latest telegraphic intelligence from Chey
enne recounted the hanging of a brace or
two of desperadoes by a decree of Judge
Lynch. When the Democrats hold the
polls, mob law, crime, and murder seem to
be the inevitable accompaniments. Need
we wonder that the machinery of liberty is
prostituted ?
. In Lancaster county the rate of taxation
for the current year is two and a half mills
on the dollar ; in York county it is seven
mills; in Berks county it is nearly ten. Lan
caster county has a Republican majority of
about six thousand ; York a Democraaic
majority of about three thousand, and Berks
of about seven thousand. Our readers can
draw their own inferences, and apply them
at the polls next fall. Fomrjr Priss.
The Vice Presidency. The 7W says :
Forty Pennsylvania Republican papers have
declared in favor of the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow as their candidate for Vice-President.
Mr. Grow has made a brilliant record as a
thorough progressive since his'election to
Congress in 1 850, and his continuous service
in that body from that time to 1802. If he
should be nominated at Chicago he would
be most acceptable to our people.
J. Y. Brown, the Kentucky rebel, who
actually presented himself for admission to
Congress, after calling on his fellow-citizens
to shoot down every Union soldier who en
tered tha State, is a type of the insolence ot
the whole rebel South. Men whom any
other government but ours would have
hung, demand, as a right, thxt they shall
hdp to govern the Republic they did their
best to destroy.
A Destructive Fiar.. The amount of
insurance on the property destroyed by the
recent and truly disastrous fire in Chicago
is stated to be $I,4S6,0O0, while the loss
was some $2,070,01)0. The fire is described
as having been the grandest spectacle and
the most destructive conflagration that Chi
cago has ever witnessed. Half a million
sheer loss is however no joke.
That's Ilium ! The police in Philadel
phia, last week, suppressed the sale of inde
cent papers, by seizing several thousand
copies in the hands of news dealers. The
number of these filthy periodicals sold is im
mense, and the harm they do is incalcula
ble. I is time that the youth of our coun
try is protected frciu the damning influ
ence of such indecent stuff.
A young fellow in Putnam county, Indi
ana, recently seduced a schoolmistress from
Iowa, under the promise of marriage. He
not oniy refused to keep his pledge, but cir
culated scandalous reports about her. A
male friend of the young woman then went
to the seducer, compelled hirn to give him
seven hundred dollars for her support, and
afterward cowhided him.
It was Lobdell, not Brick Pomeroy, who
wrote the articles in the La Crosse Drmo
crat reioicinff over the assassination nf Lin
coln. Brick had the reputation of them,
and became a great man with the Demo
crats. Lobdell was smashed and burned up
at the Angoia railroad disaster,and the same
fate awaits Brick so far as the burning is
concerned.
Every member of Lee's army will vote
the Copperhead ticket if he has a chance.
The heroes of the Fort Pillow massacre will
vote the same ticket twice a piece all around.
If they cannot get Lee tor President and
Forrest for Vice President, they will com
promise on Pendleton and Hoffman.
A Washington letter says; I heard an
English woman say, as we passed Senator

"Washington City Gossip.
The signs at-Washington are encouraging
for retrenchment. A review of the last few
months informs us that Gen. Grant has re
duced the estimated expenses of the War
Department five millions while he was at
the head of that bureau; that by the action
of. Congress the Naval estimate has been cut
dowu twenty millious, and by the suspension
of the currency contraction a further saving
of fifty-two millious a year has been insured
making in all upward of seventy-five mil
lions of dollars. Tax payers will not fail to
note these facts.
Col. Capron, the new Commissioner of Ag
riculture, has set his estimate of the expen
ses of his Department the ensuing year at
$100,000 less than last year. The circum
stance is so extraordinary that he U thought
to be out of his head.
Colorado, through her congressional dele
gation, presents a. memorial to Congress ask
ing admission into the Union. She demands
it on the grounds that her population is now
larger than was that of a number of the
States when they were admitted ; that her
ability to support a State government is (
greater than was that of manyof them at the
time of their admission ; that her people are
thoroughly organized under a code of laws
of their own eractment; that during the
past five years exchange on gold on New
York has constantly been at discount, or
never above par, showing that they are a
self-sustaining community, and the Territo
ry is out of debt.
In the House, last week, a bill was repor
ted from the Banking and Currency com
mittee, authorizing the State legislatures to
tax the shares of National banks. The sub
ject caused a short debate, in which a large
number of members participated. The bill
finally passed. '
The bill on the manner of procedure in
cases of impeachment, introduced into the
Senate bytSenator Edmunds, is very impor
tant. It regulates proceedings in case of
the impeachment of the President of the
United States ; giving to the presiding offi
cer of the Senate the power of calling out
the military and naval forces of the United
States to enforce the laws, and also provides
for the suspension of the President while
impeachment is pending. This bill is im
portant, as there is not now on the statute
books any provisions for a case of this kind.
The bill was sent to the Judiciary Commit
tee, and will probably not be reported to the
Senate for action for some weeks.
T. II. Harmon, who absconded from Lake
Providence, La., with $8,00 ) deposited in
his hands as agent of the Freedmen's Bu
reau by Freed men, has been arrested at
Charleston, and nearly all the money recov
ered. He has been sejit to New Orleans for
trial.
Colorado will undoubtedly be admitted to
the fa-tnily of States by the present Con
gress, thus securing three more electors for
Grant. All divisions are healed among the
Republicans of the Territory, and every de-.
partment of tlu government appeals for al
mission, legislative, executive and judicial ;
and also the press, the bar, the merchants,
the capitalists, the miners, and the politi
cians. The House Committee on Claims have
been considering the bill for the distribution
of the award fur the capture of J eff. Davis,
and have concluded to divide it equally a
mong the officers and men of the 4th Michi
gan and 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, and a com
pany of scouts under an Ohio officer, all of
whom were present or in the immediate vi
cinity, when the capture was made. The
entire amount has heretofore been claimed
by the Fourth Michigan under the ruling of
the Committee. The men'willget about three
hundred dollars each, the colonels about
three thousand dollars and other officers in
proportion.
The President has not yet signed the bill
to prohibit the further contraction of the
currency, but has not decided to veto it.
He will not sign it, but will probably allow
it to become a law.
. The offices of Second Assistant Secretary
of State, Superintendent of Statistics, and
Examiner of Claims in the State Depart
ment, are abolished.
The H ouse Military Committe has deci
ded to report a bill authorizing the Secreta
ry of War to establish a United States Ar
senal at fort David Russel, Dakota, near
Cheyenne city, at a cost not exceeding $50,
000. A Good One. In reply to Mr. Dnolit
tle's attack on General Grant, Senator Nye
told the story of the attack on a celebrated
New England clergyman, who met his accu:
ters by asking them if they hi! ever seen a
d ig bavkiog at the moon. "Oh yes," they
answered, with a sneer. "Well, now, my
friends, please tell me if you ever heard of a
dog getting near enough to the moon to bite
it.
On every hand we hear the piteous cry,
"lias not the South sufferred enough?"
Yea, verily ; and therefore do not inflict
upon her the Democratic party. Her pres
ent as well as past afflictions were imposed
by that party, and common sense protests
against renewing the cause of her troubles,
since the relation of effect to cause is riid
and inevitable.

Notes From Harrisburg.
On January 23th, in the Supreme Court
of the State, J udge Sharswood delivered the
unanimous opinion of the court on the Con
nelsville Railroad case. The opinion de
clares the act repealing the charter of the
company unconstitutional, and declares the
charter, with all rights and privileges, re
stored. The bill relative to the Pittsburg and
Connellsville Railroad Company-restoring its
charter was taken up in the Senate on the
30th of January, and passed without a sin
gle dissenting voice. The House took up
the Senate's bill the same day, and passed it
without a call of the Yeas and Nays. The
law was signed by the Governor on the 31st.
Thus at length ! justice has been done to
a persecuted and much injured people. The
road is to be completed to the State line
within five years.
Messrs. Deise and Linton each reported
from the Committee on Judiciary, (gener
al,) as cummitted, acts repealing the act of
last session compelling the admission of ne
groes into railway cars. It seems the De
mocracy in the Legislature have "nigger on
the brain" prodigiously. Their song by day
and by night is "nigger." -
It is generally conceeded this session of
the Legislature will be a short one the
in embers seemingly being determined to do
a great work in a few days. The people
will not object to that.
The Railroad bill introduced gome days
since has passed the House in Committee
of the whole without any material change,
and will pass that body at au early day. It
sems now pretty evident that a fair and rath
er liberal free railroad law will be passed by
the present Legislature. TI13 people of the
State are indebted for this result to the Re
publican State Convention held at Williams
port last year that body having passed
strong resolutions favoring such a law.
The Committee of Ways and Means are
now hard at work on the appropriation bill.
They have agreed to cut down the salaries
of some ot the heads of departments and
raise others. There are departments here
tint during the war required more labor and
attention than they now do, and it is noth
ing but right that the salaries should be reg
ulated by the labors and responsibilities of
the office. In some of the departments
thera are more c-Jorks than are nccessa'.
and the Committee arc determined that if
such is found to be the fact they will not
provide for their payment. Retrenchment
was begun at Washington by the Republi
can party, atil theVruj party will prune
every expensive excrescence about the State
Capitol, so that the taxes of the people will
be reduced, and economy characterize eve
ry department of the State government.
Governor Geary drsevos the thanks of eve
ry friend of retrenchment and reform for
the bold end unequivocal stand he took in
favor of economy in his annual message. He
is a man who has come up from the people
and knows how to sympathize with those
who "earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow." He, like General Grant, has been
one of the "toiling million," and therefore
knows and feels the necessity of husbanding
the resources of the peopple.
Some days since Hon. John Hickman in
troduced an amendment to the Constitution,
which proposes to strike the word vhtte
from that instrument, an 1 substitute the
word "male." Whether the people of Penn
sylvania are ready to approve of such an a
mendment remains to be seen but we pre
sume not. The question will, however, eli
cit a lively debate in the Senate, whether
the proposition pass that body or not.
