Raftsman's Journal. S. J. ROW, BIHTUR AMD PROPRIETOR. CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 12, 1S6S. Naturalization. The evidence in the contested election case, Robison vs. Shugart, has clearly de monstrated the necessity of greater safe guards againt frauds iti elections; and, in views of this fact,Senator MeConanghcy 1 as introduced a bill to remedy the evil, to some extent at least. This proposition is to make it the duty of clerks of elections, in cases of persons offering to vote as naturalized citi zen, ta keep register of the name, date of certificates of naturalization, the time and place of the court granting the same, and the name of the officer certifying thereto. This is a step in the right direction, aud it i3 to be hoped, the bill may become a law. Bat, does this strike at the foundation? We think not. ,. The constitution of the United States pre scribes that a uniform system of naturaliza tion should be established by Congress. This was accordingly done, and the power of issuing the naturalization certificates com mitted to the cae of the .several State courts, as the more affective, specdy.and less expansive mode of granting such certificates of naturalization. To this there is no ob jection. But this privilege" is abused, by evil disposed persons. Fraudulent papers are issued by the thousands every year. And why? Because of the style and simpli city of the blank certificates, and the facili ty with which they can be procured they 'being printed with the plainest type, and in nearly every printing office throughout the length and breadth of the land. And, in our opinion, so Ion; as this state of facts existj, more or less fraudulent naturalization pa pers will be issued. k .. But, how shall these frauds be preven ted?1 Congress having delegated the power of issuing the certificates to the State courts, now let it. provide a uniform series of pa pers. Let blank certificates be printed from oh engraving of the very finest, character, and upon the be.:t of paper, with the seal of the United States attached, and furnished to the courts in the several Spates at a mod erate price such certificates to be issued up on proper application ; to be sealed with the legal seal of the court by whose authority granted, and countersigned and numbered and registered in a book by the clerk of said court, and the facility for obtaining and issuing of fraudulent papers will be so cir cumscribed as to entirely prevent the com mission of this class of frauds,unless through the venality, connivance or perjury of the omcers of the court, who have the blanks aad seals in their care and keeping. No doubt, some will say, this procedure would increase the expenses of naturalisa tion. Grant that it would ; but, if citizen ship is a boon worth enjoying it is worth all it costs, and he who is unwiliing to pay therefor is unworthy of its privileges aad enjoyments. Now, in view of the immense frauds that are committed yearly "trou the ballot box by means of forged naturalization papers, we would suggest the propriety of the Penn sylvania Legislature making a move in the direction we have above indicated, as, in our opinion, a uniform series of blank certifi cates for til the States in the Union, and which are not readily counterfeited, is, per haps the most affective Fafi'guard against the violation of our naturalization laws, by the issuing of forged certificates. 'The utility and expedition by which the ju nior member i f this firm gets his clients into (he penitentiary. should be a warning to evii doer.1' Rrpnbltran. Are you not rather more exercised just now, George, aUut the "ability and expe dition" with which he gets his clients out? Isn't that "what's the matter"? At His Post. Gen.

The Reconstruction com mittee are considering the question ot im peaching President Johnson for violating the Tenure of office law, by ordering Gen. Grant to disobey the orders of Secretary Stanton. Oh, ho! TheWilliamsportt'Pa.,) 'Stan dard nominates Jeremiah S. Black, Buch anan's Attorney General, and Johnson's .factocum, for President of the United States. That is certainly the Blackest joke of the season. " IIaxgs Fire. The President Bcems to "hang fire" with the tremendous broad si '.e which he has prepared in reply to Gen. Grant It is said that some of the Cabinet officers hesitate to toe the scratch. The Contested Election Case. The last number of the Clearfield Republican contains a characteristic leador on the contested election esse, pow being tried before a committee of the Senate, at Harriaburg. The article is fra grant with the odor of -sweet Williaru," and s evidently designed to prepare the faithful for the decision which they know to be inevitable, vi: that Samuel T. Shugart doe not bold bis seat iu the Senate by virtue of the mnjority of the votes of the qualified electors of the Twenty-First Sen atorial District, but that heobtained his certificate through a gross fraud upon the peopie. and retains hi seat in defiance of the popular will, as con stitutionally and legally expressed -through the ballot-box. To direct attention from 'he material and important tacts in the case, and tocreen the guilty agents in the fraud, the Copperhead papers are beslavering with their slime and filth every body connected with the contestant's side of the cause counsel, witnesses, and parties. In this congenial task, the Republican is fully up to its usual standard, and pours out its vituperations with a copiousne-H and fluency that would have done credit to Daniel OTonnell's fish-woman It id not surprising that the Chairman of the Democratic Stale Central Committee should feel considerable annoyance at the disclosures now being made at Harriaburg. but that he and bis man Friday should make that annoyance public, betrays a weakness, on the" part of the astute Sen ator, for which we were scarcely prepared. It would ba-e bern wiser, per laps, had he sup reus ed hisanxicty.for ptople are wont to suppose that there cannot be so much sin ok o without a little fire. lie seems to be especially exercised over the testimony of an Irishman" named O'Meara, who was one of the "bosses' on the Railroad, and whose -gang' was among those transferred to Pbilipsburg for the purpose of voting, and he labors to produce the impression that the whole case of the contestant rests upon his evidence. So far is this from the truth, however, that, as we are informed, over one hundred aud twenty witness es have already been examined, and the evidence on the part of the petitioner ia not yet closed. Moreover, the testimony of O'JIeira, as appears from the article in the Republican, relates exclu sively to the fraud perpstrated at Pbilipsburg, and it is incontestably established by other and independent evidence. There are certain facts, most of which are familiar to all our people, that prove the Philipsburg (raud beyond the possibil ity of doubt or denial. Ne.irly everybody in this community knows that from eighty to one hun dred Irishmen were transferred from the unfin ished work on -the Railroad, in this county, to Philipsburg and Rush township, in Centre county, where they were quartered at hotels, twelve days b-fore the election. That most of these Irishmen were assessed two day bsfore. tkey were moved from litis county, from a list furnished by Mark Leddy. one of the '-walking bosses" has been es tablished, as we are credibly informed, by the testimony of the Democratic Assessor. That they were brought Jto the polls by the same Mark Led dy, and voted the Democratic ticket, all know who were present at the election. That they vo te! on naturalization papers purporting to be is sued from the Court of Luzerne county, bearing date the 2?th September, lrtM, has been iully proven by the Inspectors jind Clerks of the e!cC' tion. That no stteh papers ttere ever issue i has been demonstrated by an examination of the reo ords of Luzerne County, and proven by Mike Phil bin, the IrLh Prothonotary of Luzerne county, who testified that his name was forged to the cer tificates. If these facts do not incontestably es tablish the fraud, without regard to anything O'Meara may have testified, thou, we say, Mr. Shugart ought to retain his seat. The testimony of O'Meara was entirely subor" dinate to the material allegations of the contest ant, and was in no manner essential to the estab lishment of the fraud. It related, rather, to the details of the transaction how the men were moved how the forged papers were brought bow they were prepared for use how they were distributed among the men, etc That portion of his evidence relating to the payment of mjney. was not brought out by the contestant as any part of bis ease, but was elicited by the questions of Mr SLugnrt's course!, on cro?s-exanjinutinn. Hence, if it implicated the Chairman of the State Central Committee, and his Chaplain, the Priest, or any othei person, they have nobody to tViuk but themselves. So far from the testimony I ting full of inconsistencies and contradictions." wo are assured it is strongly ard thorougly corrobor ated in every particular, and when published, as it will be. with nil th other evidence, will furcUh its on best answer to all the Copperhead libels and aspcisions that have been heaped upon it. That a stupendous and outrageous (rami was perpetrated on the peopie of the Twenty-First Senatorial District, by the transfer of unnatural ized foreigners from this county, cannot be guio sayed or denied ; and that the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee should ear nestly desire to escape its responsibility, is reason ably to be expected. Honce. we are not surprised at his tfforls through his organ, to direct atten tion from the important f icts in the ci.se by abuou of the counsel and witnesses. It will be exceed ingly difficult. however, to make ur people believe that this fraud was perpetrated without, at least, his k-nowledge and consent. The Irishmen were moved lrom this county about the 26th of Septem ber, at which time, if we are not mistaken, the Senator was at home, attending Court, and one of the Messrs Collins' was on a visit at bis house. He had just returned from Philadelphia, after completing a cartful canvass of the District, and knew ex-ict!y how many imported votes were necessary to carry it. He is. moreover the peculiar guardian of the railroad on which these men were working, aud it is not at all probable that such a transfer could have teen made without bis knowl edge, as well of the fact as of its purpose. When we consider these circumstances, in the light of the developments made at llarrisburg, they leave but little room to doubt at whose instance the hundred men were thrown, so opportunely, into Centre county. As to the attack on Messrs. Cessna and Swoope, we have only to say that they are abundantly able to tako care of themselves, as well as of their case. Tbey have survived the abuse" of the Cop perhead press hitherto, and can both afford to troat with contempt the flings of professional jeal ousy, whether expressed through the newspapers, or earrietl clandestinely, by vurd of mouth ,to ill sir clients. In developing these frauds, and in seek ing to secure to the qualifUd voters of the Dis- J trict their constitutional rights, they are perform ing a work that will entitle them to the lasting ' gratitude of the bonrst and upright men of all political 'parties. . Tbeir political and personal friends, who expect them to do their wholo duty, need have no fears that they will be disappointed. Read the call for a Republican count y meeting. That Pardon. "The reason of this difference was.tbat Erhard was a Democrat, Paulhamns s Republican. Gea ry pardoned Paulhamus without a line from the Court or jury, and in the teeth of right and jus tice, because in counsel, Swoope. asserted that he, was the victim of Copperhead persecution." fie-publicaa. To exhibit the utter falsity of the abore, it is only necessary to state, that among the papers filed in the State Department on which the pardon of Pauih.amus was grant ed, is a petition signed by ten of the most prominent and respectable Democratic citi zens of this borough; that the District At torney positively refused to put himself on record agahixt the pardon; and that the Hon. T. J. McCullough, the Democratic Representative, went in person to the Gov ernor and ttated that it ought to be granted. Moreover, associated with Mr. Swoope as counsel, was J. II. Orvis, Esq., of Bel'e fonte, the leader of the Democratic party iu Centre coun'y, and a prominent candidate for the nomination of President Judge of this district, who also went to the Governor and solicited thef pardon. The reords fur ther show, that more than two- hundred of our citizens both Democrats and Republi cans united in the application, and ex pressed their belief that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the conviction. Before lending himself further to the grat ification of his Idol's apparent personal tna levalanee, we advise the editor of the Re publican to take the trouble to assure him self of the facts, as neithar the distinguish ed Senator's word or his information is al ways infallible. It is at least possible to ob tain reliable intelligence: in other quarters, and an application tr the Representative as well as to the Senator from this district, might, in other instances besides the pres ent, be advisable. We have no disposition to discuss the question of how far politics entered into this case, being fully satisfied with the action of the Democrats to whom re have alluded ; who are all gentlemen of too much intelli gence and integrity to be blinded by politi cal prejudice to that which is ju-t and riht. In the facts which we have stated, the friends of Gov. Geary will find a full and perfect justification of his action in the premises. State Lunatic Hospital. The annual report of the trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital of Pennsylvania, just issued, shows that there were in the asylum on the 1st of January, 1867, 327 pa tients, viz: 181 males and 146 females; discharged during the, year, 157, viz: 95 males and G2 females. Of this number 51 were restored, 30 improved, 33 were sta tionary, and 34 died. There remained in the hospital December 31, 1867, 340, viz: 185 males and 155 females. It is satisfacto ry to kuow that the superintendent and trustees are of the opinion that insanity is not on the increase in our commonwealth when compared with the advance of our population. Their reasons for disbelief are given at length and are assuring. Of the patients under treatment we have much in teresting information. In the column of assigned causes that havo brought on loss of mind we find that domestic trouble stands second on the list, its predecessor being the somewhat indefinite entry of ill-health. In temperance and epilepsy also figure largely. Of the former occupations of the inmates, housewives, farmers, laborers, domestics, an I daughters of farmers, predominate in the order given. The only class which com petes with them is that designated as ''no occupation," which stands second. In the the opinion of the authorities, about eighty p:r cent, of the cases can be cuted if taken in hand at an early stage. More "Reaction. "The Copperhead papers havo claimed that the recent munici pal eke; ion in Cheyenne resulted in the vic tory of their party. The fact is the contest possessed no political significance. If it did, it was certainly against the Copperheads. The Cheyenne states the result as follows: "The Democrats elected a City Treasurer, City Marshal and two Councilmen, while the Republicans elected the Mayor, City Clerk and four members of Council." On the application of Georgia and Mis sissippi for an injunction to restrain the President, Secretary of War, Gen. Grant and others from executing the Reonstruc tion laws, the Supreme Court has decided that the question was purely political, and hence dismissed it. Riches in a Getter. A man giving his name as Win. M. Smith, was found lying in a gutter intoxicated, in New York, one mor ning hst week, who had $32,445 about him. Luckily he fell into the hands of an honest police man. The Alabama Election. The election in Alabama took place last week, and the vote indicates that the new constitution was defeated. By this action the "reconstruc tion" of that State is indefinitely postpon ed. Official. Secretary Seward has offi cially announced that the act to suspend the further reduct ion of the currency has become a law, notwithstanding the President has failed to return it to Congress. It is reported that the Ways and Means committee of the House, (Congress,) will shortly report a bill for the issue of one hundred and forty millions of additimal currency. The gold yield of Nova Scoita was nearly $3,000,00) last year. WashingtouCity Gossip. The correpondence between Grant and Johnson, which was read in the House of rep resentatives on Feb. 3d, created the greatest sctisatiou. It is the most impertant event of this session. The correspondence clearly reveals the fact that Johnson iutei ded to embroil Grant with Congress, but the Gen eral "outflanked" his adversary as usual. The Republicans received this scathing ex posure of the President's attempts to bring Graut in direct coufiict with Congress with evident tokens of exultant gratification, while the Copperheads and rebels w.'ie correspon dingly despondent. The President has cour ted and deserved this terr tie and unlooked for chastisement. He has purued Grant for months through the rebel and Copper head papers, and has furnished food for ed itorial articles lor the latter. This whole correspondence is the most damaging pro duced against Audrew Johrwm. It reveals General Grant's sensitive horror of the slan ders under which he has suffered, not only now, but throughout his whole military ca reer. His instinctive hatred of treason and fidelity to law are iully proved in every sen tence of his letters. The President has not the power to remove or even to suspend General Grant und-jr the l ite legislation. hot he will try his worst. The Jrieiids of Gt n. Grant are delighted with the turn affairs have taken, and it isconeeJed in ail eirchs that ti unequivocal endorsement ot the rei-onstruc-tun measures, contained in his letters, will place him more firmly than ever, il that is possible, belorethe people ;is a tnan capable ofwithstandiug the blandishment of power, and asserting his opinions regardless of the criminal machinations of his baffled superi or. The excitement in political circles is intense, and will not abate until the whole case has been developed. I: this connection there is authority for the statement thatGen. Grant has in the whole of the struggle kept his own counsel, as usua!, except i'i so far as he sou-'ht General Sherman's aid. in tiy- ing to force the President to admit the false hood contain-d in his letter to him. lie wrote all of the letters to the President him self without consultation even with his uio.t intimate ft "tends and advisers, and none knew anything of their contents, except through the President, until the correspon dence had progressed for several days. In addition to the explanation of the conversa tion on the subject in the Cabinet meeting on the 14th of January, General Grant ex pressed himself thoroughly astounded and abashed at the statement which the Piesi dent made, to the effect that he had prom ised to act as his stool-pigeon, and that he was so atonihed. that for a moment he lost his presence id mind, which never o cirred to him before in his ii'e. He admits pri vately that he commenced his reply to this statement by saying, "Weil, Mr. President, you may have misunderstood " but, recov ering his self-possession, added "you mis apprehended entirel," or words to tint ef fect. The baseness of the man Johnson and his crew of so relied c institutional adn.-ors.in construing this gentlemanly pai:uti)n of his falsehood into an admission Oil the part of Gen. Giant of the truth of his story, re dounds to the General's ere lit. The Cop perheads, however, triumphantly oint to the undisputed fact that Gen. Grant's word stands alone in opposition to that of the President and four members of his Cabinet. It should be understood that the whole dif ficulty, so far as the question of veracity is concerned, developed itself, and originated, in fact, at this Cabinet meeting. Previous to that time there had been no collision, al though Gen. Grant had been fortifying him self, in expectation ot it, by forcing the President to put his orders letters, &c, in writing. It is evident that Johnson called Grant to the Cabinet meeting for the pur pose of embroiling him in a disgraceful squabble, and that he caused the meeting to be opened as if Grant was a member. With that object in view, as toon as Gen. Grant called his attention to, the fact that he was no longer a Cabinet minister, the President adroitly developed his intention, and par tially succeeded, but the old soldier, accus tomed to attacks from rebels in the open field, with accustomed control of himself, recovered fr -m (Lis attack in ami ush very raaJily. The atta cks of the Intiiligencer on (Jen. Grant have been proven to ouie from the White House, and the. same is true of tha attacks on McCulloch and Seward. There is general confu-ion and dismay a niong the Copperheads, and rich develop incuts are in store. The whole affair is a til ting rctribu'io i on Andrew John hmi lor de serting the colors an t joini ig the enemies of his count ry in the hope of cru-hing its friemls. It is a most happy and fortunate thing that Edwin M. Stanton is at the head of the War Department. His brain ai;d heart are wholly enlisted on the side of Con gress, and doing a world of good against the machinations of the confederated forces ot treason entrenched at Wa.-dtirigfon. The President does rot consider the correspon dence closed, as yet, and it is understood that his forth coming letter will have affix ed thereto the names ot the several Cabiuet officers above alluded to. In the Senate Mr. Sherman reported a substitute for the funding hill, previously in troduce! by himself, providing for the issue of registered and coupon bonds of the Uni t'id States, principal and inlet est payable in coin, and bearing interest at the rate of live per cent, per annum, and bearing date so a to require the paymei.tof an equal amour.t of the interest quarter!'. ISaid bonds to be payable forty years from date, and redeema ble in coin at the pleasure of the' Govern ment after ten years lrom date, and to be issued to an amount sufficient to cover out standing obligations of the United States other than existing five per cent. bonds,and to be exchanged for such obligations in such manner and on such terms not less than par, as the Secretary of the Treasury may deem most conducive to the interests of the Gov ernment ;' and the said bonds hhall be exclu sively used tor the redemption or in exchange for the existing securities of the United States. Said bonds to be exempt from tax ation in any form. It appropriates out of the proceeds of the duties on imported goods annually an amount equal to one per cent, on the bonds issued under this act, which sum shall be reserved, an 1 annually applied to the pifchase or payment of the national debt. It legalizes all contracts made speci fically payable in coin", an 1 strikes out the provisions relative to a foreign loan. Secretary Stanton has secured the services of Hoik Mat Carpenter, a prominent Repub lican lawyer from Wisconsin, to appear in behalf of the Government to defend military officers in cases arising under the reconstruc tion laws, in which Attorney General Stan bftrry declines to act.
