. J. BOW, EnrTOE AD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 3, lb69.
Hon. D. D. Pkatt, Senator elect from In
diana, having sent his resignation as Con-
gressionul Representative lo the Governor,
a special election to fill the vacancy thus
created in the Eighth distiict, has been or
" dered for the 20th February. As the dis
trict is largely Republican, lm successor
will be of the "right stripe."
Le ialative Extravgaance. .
; There is a prevailing impression, whether
true or false, that the Republican majority
in the Legislature, has lent itself to a horde
of cormorants gathered at Harri.sburj; to
feed out of the public crib. It grows, to a
great extent, out of the increase of the em
ployees and "officers" of the House, the
defence of which by those members who
have undertaken it, is, to say the least, very
weak and unsatisfactory. The people de
mand economy and retrenchment in the
public expenses, and will not consent to
maintain out of the State Treasury a horde
of idle loafers about the capital, consisting
of broken down politicians too lazv to wm t
Our Representatives may rest assurred that
they will be held to a strict accountability,
and that every unfaithful servant will meet
certain repudiation and punishment at the
hands of the Republican party. Our organ
isation is strong enough to correct these
things within itself, and it will put the seal
of its condemnation on evety roan who is un
faithful to his trust. Let the Republican
members of the Legislature see to it, that
their record will bear the most rigid scruti
ny, for no false ideas of political necessity
and party machinery will save them from
exposure and its consequences.
How Thty Did It.
Another contested election case has just
been tried at Harr'nburg, from the Eleventh
Representative District of I'hiladelphia.and
the evidence reveals the mode in which the
incorruptible Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee undertook to enrry the
State at the October election. Ono man,
Michael Slaven, swears positively that he
voted twenty times that day five of them
TOted TBI TIMES making SEVENTY FltACD-
VLEST votes as neither of them were le
gal voters in the cit.v of Philadelphia. An
other man, Christopher Lamb, swears that
ho voted twenty times. Henry Elliot vo
ted TWENTY times. Daniel Redding voted
TEN times. Thus four men swore positive
ly to having polled one hcn-dred and
twenty fraudulent votes for the Demo
cratic candidates in one single legislative
district in tho city of Philadelphia. "
Fortunatoly for the cause of right.truth.and
justice, the Chairman made a miscalcula
tion, and his repeaters, bosus uaturaliza
tions, coffoe-colori-d papers, and other ex
pedients fell short some eight or nine thou
sand, aud the State was saved. But the
city of Philadelphia in a great measure, fell
a victim to this stupendous rascality. A
Mayor and other officers were elected by
those fraudulent votes, who are to day man
aging the municipal affairs of the city, con
trary to the will of a large majority of its le
gal citizens.
If these stupendous frauds are not check
ed, our whole Republican system will speed
ily become a miserable mockery and a
wretched failure. It will get so corrupt
that it will fall to pieces of its own inherent
rottenness. , L&l the Legislature at once
pas a stringent RUtry Law, anl provide
such pains ani penikioj, as will deter un
scrupulous politicians from all attempts to
dofdat the will of the people in future.
'Grinding Axes."
We clip the followingfrom the Chambers
burg Rcpotitary, which contains more truth
than poetry :
"The demand upon the publuhers for
gratuitous advertising, or "pnffing" has
t .t ,1 a ' m.
oecome an intolerable bore, ltiere u a
lares class of neonle who rppanl nfwm.
per office as a large grindstone to oharpen
mcir axes, xne Attoona irioune pitches in
thU thing, and we clip the follow iug from
its columns, to which we invite the attention
of patriotic gentlemen who desire to serve
the people of Franklin county, anl "the rest
of mankind," as well as of those who wi.sh
to advertise their business 'free gratis for
nothing." . ,
' 'A correspondent who sent os a few days
tfo a communication of nine foolscap paces,
advocatiug the claim of a certain caudiiate
for office, takes exception to our notice that
all such communications will be inserted at
advertising rates. He asks, rather indig
nantly, if public spirit does not prompt lis
,ruw,b. such matter without charge?
S . ?0t mucn- If printers, papermakers
and inkinakers, will siee to take their pay
in the article of publio spirit, we'll think
about it.
'Not a day passes that printers arc not
asked to do something for nothing to give
labor, paper, ink and wear and tear of ma
terial to some win, of association, or politi
cal aspirant without remuneration. It is time
this thing 'play out.'. A merchant asks to
advertise his wares at half price and then
growls if you do not agTee to send him your
paper and puff hi ji every week gratis. , If
you go to that same man to buy, he is sure
to charge you the highest price, because as
he aaya, he has to take bis pay in trada.while
if you were, io Imitation ofhim,; to ask him
to throw in a pair of boots or a hat be would
think you an idiot, and very properly too,
for he who would think of asking such a
man to do a liberal deed can bo but little
better than an idiot. The best thiug prin
ters can do la to let them grind their owb
axes, wd as fax fit f?e are concerned, thru
Kiil," .
A Snake. Tax-payers Beware.
- A petition has been circulating here for a
few days past, addressed to the Senate and
House of Representatives, praying the en
actment of a law to authorize the Commis
sioners of the county to pay to George Thorn
tru- amount lost by him on his contract for
builJiug the Court House. A number of
persons, out of personal regard for Mr. Thorn,
who is a niott worthy man auJ estimable
citizen, signed the petition without reflec
tion or examination. On subsequent reflec
tiou and investigation, however, it turns out
that instead of being designed for the re
lief of Mr. Thorn, it is in reality a piece of
sharp practice to relieve certain other par
ties, who are only using Mr. Thorn's name
as a cover. -
It will be recollected by most of our read
ers that when it was proposed to erect a new
Court House, a sharp controversy arose as
to whether it should be built in Clearfield or
Curwensville. - The citizens of the latter
place agreed, if the county seat was remov
ed to their town, to erect a Court House and
Jail at their own expense. ' In order to pre
vent such a removal, an J to forestall its even
being submitted to a vote, of the people,
certain responsible citizens of Clearfield en
tered into a bond to the county, in the sum
of $30,000, conditioned that if the Commis
sioners should let the building within thirty
days.it should not cost thecountyover $15,
000, and that the funds to build it should be
provided without increasing the then current
rate of taxation, which was six mills on the
dollar. This bond, duly signed, was filed
in the Commissioners' office on the 30th day
of December, 1 S59, and on the 29th day of
January following, the Commissioners pro
ceeded to let the Court House. The bids
ranged from $11,400 to $23,00(3. The con
tract was awarded to George Thorn for the
sum of $13,900, and Richard Shaw, Sr.,
became his surety for its fulfillment. Mr.
Thorn was to erect a Court House 60 feet
wide and 90 feet in length, in all respects,
save frescoing, like the new Court Ilouie in
Bellefonte, and to deliver it, completed, to
the Commissioners by the third Monday in
September, 1S61."
Subsequently, on the 29th of June, 1S59,
Mr. Thorn applied to the Commissioners to
modify his contract, by adopting certain
plans prepared by Backus fc Bro's, Archi
tects, and by raising the price to $16,500.
This the Commissioners agreed to do, provi
ded "a majority of the signers of the bond
of the 30th December, 1858, agree to renew
said bond so as to cover the whole cost of
said building in regard to the county orders,
and also agree to pay to the contractor all
that it cor.t.1 over $16,000. and the citizens of
Clearfield agree to put a clock in said Court
House at their own expense."
No bond of any kind is now to be found
on the files of the CommisMoners office, nor
can the Clerk or any of the present board
of Commissioners tell what has become of
any bond that may have been on file. A
copy of the bond of the 30th of December,
1S5S, duly certified by the Clerk, however,
is in existence, from which the extent of the
liability of the signers is easily ascertained.
If the bond was not "renewed," and the
conditions of the Commissioners complied
with, then there was no modification of the
first contract, and Mr. Thorn was bound to
build the CourtHousecompletefor$13,960,
and his bail, Judge Shaw, is liable for its
fulfillment. If, on the other hand, the con
ditions of the Commissioners were accepted,
then tho signers of the bond are bound to
pay Mr. Thorn ail the building cost over
$16,000, so that a bill to authorize the Com
missioners to pay to Mr. Thorn any more of
the people's money, instead of being to re
lieve him, is simply to rc lieve the signers of
the bond who have obligated themselves to
pay o him all the building cost over $16,000.
Mr. Thorn has received from the county,
as shown by the books of the Commission
ers, in all the u:n of 02 for the
building of the Court House, or $J,366 02
more than the price fixed in the original
contract. Now, if the terms fixed by the
Commissioners, when he applied to have
his cod tract modified, were not complied
with, it must be plain that Mr. Thorn and
his bail are liable to the county for the whole
amount of the $9,366 02. If, on the other
hand, the terms were complied with, then
tho signers of the bond are liable to the
county for all they have paid Mr. Thorn over
$16,000, to wit: $7,326 02, and are liable
to Mr. Thorn for whatever the building cost
him in addition.
.Now we submit whether, in the face of
these facts, it would not he a gross fraud
upon tli3 taxpayers to pay any more of their
money on the contract? Not a single thing
that the signers of that bond of the 30th
December, l$5S,ob!igated themselves to do,
has ever been done. They bound themselves
that the Court House should not cost the
county over $15,000, yet it has already cost
$23,326 02, and it is now asked to make it
cost more. They pledged themselves that
the money should be raised without increas
ing the then rate of taxation, which was six
mills on the dollar, yet the records of the
Commissioners' office show that the rate of
taxation was twice raised expressly to build
the Court House first to eight mills, then
to ten. They guaranteed that the citizens
of Clearfield would put a town clock in the
Court House at their own expense, yet only
lately a clock ha been put in and paid for
by the county. Thus tho people have been
swindled by some means, out of everything
the signers of the bond bound themselves
to perform, and now it is asked, for their
further relief that the Commissioners be au
thorized to make up Mr. Thorn's losses out
of the public money !
It is perfectly plain that Mr. Thorn has
an ample remedy for any losses he may have
sustained, and instead of signing petitions
to the Legislature to authorize the Commis
sioners to pay him more, the people should
petition the Commissioners to bring suit
on the-bond given to the county for what
they have paid over $16,000.
. We firmly believe this petition was gotten
up and presented to the Republicans to sign,
that the responsibility for the expenditure
of th.-se public moneys might be fixed on
the Republican majority in the Legislature.
It looks very much like some of "Sweet
William V sharp practice, being simply an
effort to relieve himself and some other peo-1
pie in whom he is interested, from liability.
Let the tax-payers beware how they sign
snch petitions, and be on their guard against
the specious pretences of those who present
them. ',. q
Letter from Washington City. -
Washington, D. C. Jan. 30,1869.
Df-ar J olrnal. Up in the pine woods,
I presume, you have as yet plenty of snow
aud real winter weath.-r. Here, during this
week, we have had genial sunshine and sum
mer-like breezes. -
- Outside of tho appropriation bills, it is
doubtful, as 1 stated in a former letter
whether Congress will do anything in the
way of essential legislation, during the pres
ent session. If the member has even the
disposition, the time is now too short to ac
complish much.
The Railroad, subsidy schemes that were
hatched up to draw millions of dollars from
the Treasury, it is true, are not receiving
much favor, and will probaly get the "go
by, as they should. For this, at least,
Congress is deserving of credit.
The so-called Sue Murphy claim, you
will doubtless have observed, has received
a great deal of attenion in the House. The
lady hails from Decatur, Alabama, and was
represented as one of the few "faithful
among the faithless" Southern people. The
claim grew out of the destruction of some
property by our army during the rebellion
Some warm-hearted members advocated the
payment of the claim, believing the state
mentin the case correct; but an army of
ficer represents her father as a boisterous
secessionist, and that the mother and daugh
ter were no wayschary in their denunciations
of the Union soldiers. The claim will hard
ly be paid.
It seems there are still some people in the
land that fear the "skull and cross bones'
guost or jiasonry. .bast week, petitions
were presented in the Senate, from citizens
of Ohio, praying for a repeal of the act gran
ting a charter to the Masonic Hall Associa
tion of the District of Columbia, because
tbe organization was dangerous to a repub
lican form of government, that it directed
its efforts to the support of slavery and the
inception of rebellion, etc., and a good
deal of similar nonsense. The petition was
cousigned to the Committee on the district.
The subject of Gen.Grant's cabinet Is still
the engrossing topio among politicians of all
parties. I observe that whilst the corres
pondents of some of the papers in your
State assert that Ex Governor Curtin will
certainly be appointed to a place in the
Cabinet, others are equally sure that it will
be John W." Forney, and others that it will
be Mr. Somebody else. I nrofe.ss to be
neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet"
but I am willing to wager a pippin apple
against a wasted pea-nut that, so far as
Pennsylvania is concerned. Admiral Porter
will be Secretary of the Navy, and that will
dispose of all the rest of the Keystones. The
Admiral and Gen. Grant are old friends ;
and it is but natural that the latter should
seleot for that position an acquaintance in
whom he has had a large and successful ex
perience in that branch of the public ser
vice. You may stick a pin right there, and
see how lar out. of the way is the gvess of
Yours, Ac, Specks.
Smart William Declines.
The Democratic Convention which met
hereon Court week, instructed the delegates
to the State Convention in favor of that pa
triotic, honest, and distinguished Democrat,
"Sweet William," of immortal memory,
for Governor. William was at home, en
gaged in Court all week, and the Conven
tion was presided over by his partner Lord
Blake Walters. After Wiiiiam tot back to
Ilanisburg, being in blissful iguorance all
the ti me ot the high honor conferred upon
hiun, he learned what the Convention had
done, and immediately wrote to Lord W.
the following modest epistle, which made
its appearance in the llarrisburg Patriot,
from whence it was copied into the home or
gan :
Senate Citamber, 1
IIarrisburg, Pa., Jan. 20. 1SC9. J
J. Blake Walters, Esq.,
Chairman Co. Com. Clearfield Co.':
Dear Sir: I learn that at the meeting
held at Clearfield on the evening of the
12ih instant, to provide for the selection of
delegates 'o the Uemocratic btate Conven
ti.m, a preference was expressed by those
present for myself as the democratic candi
date lor Governor in the coming election.
At the time that meeting was held I was
confined to my room by illness, or I would
have been present and declined the honor
that my fellow citizens thns seek to confer.
I write you now, to say that I am not a can
didate. Whilst. I am gratified by this mark
of confidence, I am convinced that my nom
ination is not the best that can be made. 1
recognise the vital importance of the selec
tion of the strongest candidate that can be
found, to make this contest. I am oue of
those who believe that everything but prin
ciple should be subordinated to success, and
that preferences for individuals and the de
sire to reward party services should be made
to yield to the imperious necessity to win.
It seems to be the universal desire of the
press of the State-that the convention shall
be held at a late day, and if the best men of
the party be selected as delegates, and au
thorized to carry out the will of the party as
shown by the light that shall then surround
them, the selection of the strongest candi
date will follow and our success will be as
sured. I desire through you to express to my con
stituents who have invariably given me a
cordial upport, my earnest thanks for thii
renewed mark of their confidence.
Very respectfully yours,
William A. Wallace.
Sensible William I He says, "I am con
vinced that my nomination is not the best
that tan be made." Precisely so. Every
body is of the same opinion. "I recognize
the vital importance of the selection of the
strongest candidate that can be found, to
make this contest." Not a doubt of it.
William's experience last year enables him
to read "the hand writing on the wall."
He knows perfectly well that the present
Legislature will take care that coffee colored
papers and Snowden's seal shall never carry
another election. ne is convinced that de
feat is inevitable, hence he declines to be a
candidate. What excruciating devotion to
"principle 1" , What self-sacrificing patriot
ism! Virtuous William, what a martyr!

At the suggestion ot others, I ask the in
sertioo of the following PTiilmarinn : 1
Not being a regular reader of our County
papers, it was by the merest accident that a
copy of the Republioan, containing K. OB's
protest, fell into my hands. My reply was
oasea upon tne protest as therein published.
By a reference to that paper the reader will
see mat my assertion u true, that rv OB
makes no mention of "Bible" or "com
mon school ;" hence it is not "false," when
1 affirm he did not state tbe question cor
rectly, m his last article. . Nor was 1 aware
of any difference in his protest as published:
until after I had pivn in mv second arti
cle. This difference, however, upon which
pe now plays, does not help him a particle,
in his unmanly dodge iboth protests are his
and it is my prerogative, not his, to choose,
thougn 1 had not the benefit ot such choice
having seen but the one naner. (ReDuhli-
can). The other would have been equally
ac ceptable, being just as, or even more fal
lacious. .-
And since the Gentleman declined the
condition UOOn which I nerved ti earrv on
this discussion, which was : comply with the
known and established rules of all honora
ble debate, Zieand not beats an inglorious
retreat. To continue a "Tit Tat" is little.
I cannot condescend to it ; nor have I the
time to waste npon it or him.
