CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 15, 1868.
Who Pays for the Stamp? This is a
question which comes up before the parties
concerned in nearly every transfer of the ti
tle of real 'estate, but may escape difficulty
by stipulating in the conditions of the sale
whether the buyer or sailer shall pay the
stamp duty. The Village Fiecord, of West
Chester.has been prompted by a correspond
ent to look the matter up, and after consult
ing a lawyer and two real estate agents, it
has given their r opinions. The lawyer says
that the seller pays for the stamp unless It is
found that there is an agreement to the con
trary. One ot the conveyancers consulted
says: . "The usual practice is that the pur
chaser pays for the deed. The seller fur
nishes the stamps, unless there is a special
agreement to the contrary." The other con
veyancer gives the following definition ot
the law and the practice: "In nine cases
out of ten the purchaser pays for the stamps,
that is the practice ; but the practice is not
the law. The practice in Chester county
has been, that the purchaser pays for the
deed, but after the stamp law was enacted,
.the deed by virtue of the cost of the stamp
became a matter of consequence, litigations
arose, and the Supreme Court decided that
the. seller was bound to make a good deed,
and as a deed without stamps was worthless,
the seller was bound to furnish them."
The "Reaction." The Cincinnati Ga
zette says that the town elections in Ohio
and Indiana, as far as reported, show, with
few exceptions, decided Republican gains.
The Republicans carried Dayton, the home
of Vallandigham, by 300 majority ; last fall
the Copa carried it by 150." At Yorkers, N.
Y. the Republicans scored an astonishing
run a few days ago having made a gain of
515 in a total vote of 1,845. In Cleveland
on Tuesday, the Republican party piled up
a gain of 1,000. In Schenectady, N. Y, a
gain of 200. In Madison, Wisconsin, a gain
of 300 ; and St. Paul elects a Republican
mayor by 300 majority for the first time in
seven years. . Thus the ball is rolling on,
forshadowiog sweeping Republican victories
at the coming fall elections.
U. S. Judge. The many intimate and
personal friends of Hon. Elmer S. Dundy,
in this place, no doubt, will be highly grat
ified to learn that, on Thursday, April 9th,
the Senate, in executive session, confirmed
his nomination to be United States Judge
for the district of Nebraska. Judge Dundy
is a man of more than ordinary ability and
acquirements, gained through close applica
tion and untiring perseverance; andhis pres
ent appointment may be taken as a worthy
recognition of his personal efforts to attain to
a position of usefulness and eminence among
his fellow-men. We tender the Judge our
.hearty congratulations, feeling assured that
he will discharge the duties of his new trust
with fidelity and in accordance with the die
tates of justice and right. . .
Word has at least been received from Af
rica that Dr. Livingstone is still alive, and
this time there can be no mistake, since the
information comes from the intrepid travel
er himself, in the shape of a letter to Sir
Roderick Murchison. The Doctor writes
that he is in good health, that his expedi
tion has been completely successful, and
that he expects to return to Eugland at an
early day.. This is indeed gratifying intel
ligence, and an account detailing his ex
plorations and adventures during the long
period in which he has been hidden away
from civilized eight, will be anxiously look
ed for by the reading public in this and the
old world.
The latest manifestation of Copperhead
ism, the Ku-Klux Klan, is so formidable
that Gen. Meade has deemed it necessary
to issue an order enjoining special vigilance
en the part of the military and civil officers
in his Department, in order to protect the
community from the organized scoundrels.
- Gen. Meade would scarcely have issued such
an order had he not J)een entirely convinced
of their number and purposes, and the at
tempt by Copperheads, North and South,
to make it appear that they have been exag
gerated, is completely answered by the
General's action.
The late Maryland Legislature.in revising
the school law of the State, abolished the
provision by which the Fourth of July was
made a holiday in the schools. The same
Legislature has bee& accused of doing many
things which indicated an intense spirit of
.disloyalty to the Union, but this abolition of
the national holiday is doubtless only a proof
of equally intense hatred to the cause o
popular education.
Don't relish the "thunder" of the late e
Jections much the Cops. Vide long faces.
Encouraging Crime.
The editor of the Clearfield Republican, in hi
issue of April 9th, 1863, after stating the result
in the Senatorial contested election case of Rob-
ison vs. Shugart, says:
"The time is not distant when Democrats will
elect their members and keep them in their seaU
by bayonet.
By the language in the above-extract, in the
connection in which it is nsed, the editor of the
Republican virtually justifies the frauds upon the
ballot-box at Philipsburg, and approves of the
murder of John Casey for swearing that those
frauds were perpetrated in the interest of the
Copperhead party. But such is the spirit of the
leaders of Copperheadism. Their teachings lead
to fraud, bribery, and murder, as was proven in
the Robison-Shugsrt investigation ; and now, in
noticing the result of that investigation, the or
gan of that party in this county boldly declares
that in the future they will, not permit their ras
calities to be exposed or their unlawful acts to
be reversed, but that ;hey will "elect their mem
" bers and keep them in their seats by bayonets."
Surely, this is an alarming state of affairs, when
the Chairman of the County Committee of a par
ty, semi-officially announoes, as It were, the de
termination of the party organization to carry out
its designs by sujh hellish means as are above
declared. We submit these facts to the serious
and careful consideration of the law-abiding and
peaceable citizons, of both parties, in this county,
and ask them, how long will you continue to fol
low the teachings of these bad and designing
demagogues? They have led many of you into
trouble heretofore ; will you suffer them to do so
again ? Nay ! Then rise above your former po
litical predilections, assert your manhood and in
dependence, and spurn thoss vile leaders from
you, and. unite with the friends of law and order.
Duty to yourselves and families, and the safety
f the country demand this at your hands.
The Late Elections.
Wiscossix. The Republicans of Wisconsin
hare elected theHr Judicial ticket bya majority
exceeding 7,000 being a gain of about 3,000 from
last autumn and against a violent opposition to
which, various factions and cliques inside of our
own party lent their aid,
Connecticut, Gov. English, Democrat, was re
elected by a majority of 1,731, being an increase
of 794 over that of 'last year. Whilo, on the oth
er hand, the Republicans have increased their
majority on joint ballot in the Legislature 14,
thus securing the election of a U. S. Senator in
the place of Dixon, the present incumbent.
All the "reaction" we can discover in the recent
elections is in Connecticut, where, npon a largely
increased poll in consequence of the wholesale
naturalization of aliens and the importation of
foreign voters, the Democracy find the majority
in the Legislature nearly doubled against them,
while they bare only succeeded in increasing
their majority for their Gubernatorial candidate
less than 800.
In Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, and Minnesota, the local elections of this
Spring show the Republican party to be as strong
as in its palmiest d tys since 1364; and no fears
are entertained ss to tht result in Connecticut in
November next Then. let the Copp srheads crow
over their barren "victory" in Connecticut now.
lest they will not have another opportunity lor
rejoicing during tha year 1868.
K. K. K S Between thirty ana forty members
of the Ku-Klux Klan surrounded the house of
Hob. G.W. Ashburn, in Columbas, Georgia, about
1 o'clock at night, on March 31st, broke down the
doors, rushed into the bouse, and shot Mr. Ash-
burn. He received three fatal shots one in the
head between the eyes ; one in the mouth, which
ranged upwards ; and another in the hip. Some
twelve bails took effect on his person and clothing
Mr. Ashburn's only offence was.because he was a
Union man, and a member of the Constitutional
Convention of Georgia. The sudden, horrible,
cowardly and brutal assassination of Col. Ash-
burn, bv this infamous band, shows that their
object is murder ! Other prominent Union men,
in various parts of the Southern States, have sud
denly and mysteriously disappeared, and there is
little doubt that they have also been murdered
by this ''Klan" of midnight assassins.
Apropos. Wonder if the declarations of hav
ing revolvers in readiness, ana tne selection ot
victims : against whom- they are to be used, in
Clearfield borough, has any connection with the
K. K.K's?" That there is a class, sufficiently
desperate to enact such scenes (as that at Colum
bus) in our midst, the murder of John Casey fully
attests; and that there are others besides the mnr
derers of Casey, degraded enough, if not too
cowardly, to commit like horrid murder, is satis
factorily indicated by the declarations noticed in
the beginning of this paragraph. More anon

That is to say: If the Republicans hereafter
dire to investigate the Copperhead frauds upon
the ballot-box, "something more potent," than a
futile attompt to prove witnesses as unworthy of
belief, will be employed to "defend and protect
Democrats in their rights" to violate the election
laws and murder Irishmen for testifying to their
rascalities the potent agent to be none other
than some brothers of thn viln ii.Tv'Iiit Klan "

means anything, it implies just what we Bate

"General Grant in St.

The Emporium Press tells
the followin!
story : "Mr Spear, brother of the extensive
stove manufacturer of Philadelphia, bears a
marked resemblance to ueneral Grant. On
the 17th. St. Patrick s day, Mr. Spear
chanced to be in St. Mary's when some wag
conceived the idea ot representing that
Grant was in town, at the Alpino House.
This remarkable piece of news was soon her
aided through the town, and everybody be
came anxious to see the next President. A
large crowd'soon gathered in front of the
hotel, and the vigorous call for the General
finally brought the supposed individual out,
and, contrary to his usual custom, was pre
vailed upon to make a speech. His speech
was well received, and created much enthu
siasm. Several side speeches were made by

A Registry Law.
The Legislature has passed, and the Governor
signed, a supplement to our election laws, requir
ing the registration of voters throughout the
State. This is a much nee led measure, and cal
culated to accomplish a great deal of good in the
way of preventing frauds at elections. The fol
lowing is a synopsis of the most important fea
tures of the bill :
Section 1. That the assessors shall make lists
of voters annually, with their residence, whether
housekeepers or "boarders ; the occupation and
name of emp!oyer,if working for another; wheth
er native citizen voting on age, naturalized, or 1
having declared intentions, expecting to vote
upon full papers to be procured before election.
.During tne present year such list to be made
out sixty days after the passage of the act ; qual-
incations to oe tnen inquired into betore toe 1st
of September; meetings for rectification and
placing additional names on the registry, to be
held by the assessors during four days, if neces
sary, and ten days before the election.
Section 2. Duplicate copies of the registry
lists to be made out ; one copy to go to the Coun
ty Commissioners, the other to be posted on the
door of the house where the election Is to be held
prior to August 1st in each year.
section od. Assessors, inspectors and judges of
election to attend at places for holding elections
on Saturday, the tenth day preceding the second
luesday of October, to place names on the regis
try not thereon, upon due proot ot the right of
the voter. At the election no person to bo allow
ed to vote wboso name is not on the list. Where
a person has been omitted he may request a spe-'
cial meeting of the officers to decide on his case ;
and all such claims may be heard at the election
house on the Saturday before the election
section 4. Voters may be challenged and
put to proof, notwithstanding the fact that their
names are on the registry, and the matter be de
cided according to law. Naturalized voters must
produce tnetr certificates ot naturalization, tne
election officers to plaoe the word "voted," with
date and place of election.
Section o. ttegistry papers to be sealed up al
ter the election with other election papers.
Seotion 6. Registry to be re-opened in years
when there are Presidential elections ten days be
fore the election, and names of voters omitted to
be placed thereon.
Section 7. At special elections tne registry to
govern, but not to exclude citizens not registered
who have the ngnt to vote according to law.
Seotion o. prescribe the oath of omoe tor as
sessors, inspectors ana judges ot elections.
Section 9 On the petition of five or more citi
zens under oath, setting forth reasons for believ
ing that frauds will be practiced at an election,
the Court of Common Pleas may appoint two per
sons as overseers of elections, one trom eaca po
litical party, if the inspectors belong to different
political part'es: but where these officers are both
of the same part ,the overseers are both to be of the
opposite party, ine overseers to nave a ngm io
be present at the election and to see what is
done, keep lists of voters, d-o. If said overseers
are not allowed to perform their duties, or are
driven away by intimidation, tbo whole poll of
fllat election distriot or division to bo thrown out.
Section 18. If a district polls more votes than
are registered, it shall be prima facie evidence of
fraud, and the whole vote may be rejocted upon
a oo n tested election. .
Seotion 11. No oourtof .the State to naturalize
any foreigner within ten days of an election, un
der penalty of misdemeanor in the officer issuing
tbe naturalization cerlincate. v oiing. or attemp
ting to voto, on a fraudulent certificate of natu
ralization, subjects the party to imprisonment
not exceeding three years, and fine not exceeding
one thousand dollars.
Section 12. Issuing false receipts by a tax col
lector, fine not less than one hundred dollars, im
prisonment not le.-s than three uiontns.
Seotion 13. Atelections heroafter. polls to open
between 6 and 7 o'clock, A. M, and close at 6 P.M.
Another excellent bill Is pending before the
State Senate, which if passed, as it assurdly must,
will prove amost'valuableand acceptable adjunct
to the Registry law. This bill proposes to eotn
pel officers of elections to register the names of
naturalized voters, with such facts connected with
their naturalization as will prevent fraud.
Mr. Johnson's Defense.
The following artiole, in reference to the open
ing sneecn on Denait ot .rresiaoni jounsuu, is
copied from the Pittsburg Gazette:
The opening argument of Mr. Johnson s coun
sel accords, in its general drift, with the expecta
tions of the public for ten days past, liutour in
telligent readers willconcur with m in the opin
ion that, so far as it purports, to embody the
President's case in defense, it is essentially a fail
ure, malting a snow oi grappling ooiaiy wim
the main issue, which had already been formally
made ia the pleadings, viz : tha constitutionali
ty of the Tenure-of-Office law, the whole course
and the tenor of Judge Curtis' argument isno
more tnan a ceaseless Kaieiuosuouiu nnuuu
from one to the other of the opposite and most in
consistent extremes between which Mr. Johnson
is finding himself crucified. Alone moment his
counsel denies the constitutionality of tholaw;
at another he defends its spirit and endeavors to
show that the act of his client did not fall within
its scope. In one breath.he asserts the President's
unrestricted right of appointment and removal ;
at the next, he fortifies him -within precedents.
which he admits to be based upon no express law
whatever. Now, he claim's that Mr. Stanton was
justly removed; thou he reminds the Senate that.
as no removal was perteoted Dy tne secretary's
assent.no violation of the law can be justly charg
ed. Here he gives good reasons why a Secretary
should hold office during the term of the Presi
dent who appoints him ; there, ignoring the fact
that tbe Secretary s omce was conurmea to nun
by Mr. Johnson's express act, he asserts an abso
lute right to remove him at pleasure. He admits
that tne suspension was in aoieronoe to a law
with which his client aimed to avoid a conflict;
he subsequently argues that it was bis client's
duty to reject the enactment as' binding in any
particular, anl to make a case for judicial inter
pretation, lie declares tnat an maiviauai may

itioians woo nave so generally voiunieereo,an-

good word for tneir friend at tne oar. x be ar
gument abounds with the technical astuteness,
the ve.bal criticisms, the hair-splitting distinc
tions, the fine points and the plausible but shal
low exceptions of the mere lawyer, who is at the
head of his professibn. no doubt, as to that sort of
ability, but it lacks the comprehensive breadth
of consideration, the enlarged'.wise, liberal views,
the just conceptions of public duty, of the neces
sities of the State, of the intentions of the Fathers
and of the requirements of the future, which can
only animate tbe statesman. He has not risen to
the higher plane npon which the merits cf itn
peaohment are to be judged. It is a State neces
sity, far more than any mere vindication efa law
violated in its letter, but, as to uitner one or the
other, has abundant justification in the facts. and
upon both g ou nds the judgment of the Senate
awaits tbe proper hour for delivery.
New Jersey. To vote early and vote
often, has been understood to be a cardinal
maxim in the Democratic electioneering pol
icy. The majority which this party has in
the New Jersey Legislature evidently intend
to heed the injunction, as they have repeal-
ea ine ivjeisitv uaw, anuutho me ounset

oimsftt. Mavin-r thus abol ished a 1 tho

Democratic ticket by voting early and late.

Queen Victoria has over thirty tons of

We are reminded that the name Ku-Klux
is possibly a modification of the iufanious ti
tle Golden Circle, the Greek word for Circle
being KuMos. A slight variation from the
true pronunciation would give the existing
popular name. Whether the villains now
banded as K. K. K's are direct descendants
of the Knights of the Golden Circle, we
cannot say ; but their conduct warrants the
conclusion that they, are just the offscouring
of that treacherous gang.
The foreign- immigration of 1868 promis
es to be of extraordinary magnitude. Ger
many is pouring out thousand-s or her skul
e3 mechanics and hardy laborers through
the ports of the Confederation, while every
port or Ireland to which American ship
ping resorts is crowded with the rush o:
emigrants, which fully equals the great ex
odus of 1866. From England, the Baltic
States, Belgium, Frauce and Italy, the move
ment is equally active.

John Schneider, a blacksmith in Grand

Why not prove what he said when he was

Within the last week Mr. Chase has de
clared that he dos not seek the Presidency.
So one after another of the competitors of
Gen. Grant retire from the held, not as the
result of efforts put forth by him or his
friends but in obedience to overwhelming
sentiment.
