Th Seranton Register, heretofore a
neutral journal, has nol.I out to Packer.
Thus goes the twenty millions.
Maj.-Gen. John A. Rawlins, Secretary
of War, died on Monday last at 4. 12 p. m.,
after a severe but brief illness.
Thk Southern papers say that "in 1SG9
the twelve cotton States will show more true
prosperity than any other section of the
world." And this after the abolition of
slavery I What next?
Gov. Lrciu8 FAiRcniLD, has been re
nominated for Governor by the Republican
Convention of Wisconsin. He is one ot the
most efficient and able Governors the State
has ever had. Of course ho will be re
elected. Thb Packersonian philosophy seems to
be "get all you can, and keep all yen get,"
which greatly disgusts Bill McMulIen and
his satelites, who want the pecunious Asa
to give all he has got. But Asa's "been
there" and "can't see it."
Since Sam Carey of Ohio, has got to be
a leading light of the Democracy, he has
quit making Temperance speeches. His
name no longer figures in the proceedings of
Temperance conventions, committees, &c
Water and Democracy don't mix.
The Jidlefonte Xatittnal re-appears on
our table, much enlarged and improved,
under the editorial control and proprietor
ship of C. B. Gould, late of Cameron coun
ty. It is one of the- largest, be.st printed
papers in the State, and we have no doubt,
will prove to be one of the most ably edited.
TnE Tax Receiver's office in Philadol
plkia, within a few steps of the Mayor's of
fice, was entered and robbed of $40.GO0.
The crime was committed right under the
nose of the Chief of Police. Philadelphia
has discovered, to her cost, that a Dein.v
cratic Mayor and Police are expensive lux
uries. Tub National Temperance Convention at
Chicago, has done the can.e no good, and
the delegates no credit. An attempt to or
ganize a Temperance. Party, in opposition
to present political organizations, is simply
impracticable, and will prove abortive. The
cause of temperance cannot be advanced in
that way.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania are very
anxious that the war with all its recollections
should be forgotten. In this they are in
hearty accord with their candidate, Judge
Packer, who, having wholly forgotten his
country during the rebellion, does not feel
inclined to remember it now. He will be
himself forgotten after the second Tuesday
of October.
The report that the Chinese had rejected
the treaty recently concluded by Mr. Bar
lingame, turns out to be false. It ha9 been
fully approved by the Chinese Government.
It is no donbt that the French and English
emissaries are at work in China, to weaken
the influence ef Burlingame, and to work all
the injury they can to this country. But so
far their efforts have not been successful.
In the struggle to carry the election last
fall, in October, when the Democratic party
brought out every available vote when they
had Snowden's signed and sealed blank
naturalization papers by the cord when
our friend Wallace boasted that he had
22.000 naturalizations we carried the State
by 10,000 majority. This year, with an
active and earnest canvass, and the getting
out of a full vote, together with the Regis
try Law to stop Copperhead frauds, we
ought to double the figures. Let every Re
publican resolve to do his whole duty.
Nobody expected that Mr. Boutwell,
with so many heavy demands upon the
treasury for August, could reduce the debt
more than two millions but he has aston
ished everybody by cutting it down for that
mouth 15,604,234.79. It it had not been
for the heavy payments to pensioners, due
on the 4th September, it would have been
reduced $1 1,000,000 more. This makes the
total reduction of the debt, during Grant's
administration of six months, nearly Fifty
Millions of dollars. This does not look
much like the financial ruii predicted by the
Democrat.
A FAVORITE argument with the Democ
racy why Packer should be elected, is his
ehrewd management of his private business.
That he is exceedingly shrewd, financially,
can no longer be questioned. For example,
he furnished the State Committee with
f 100,000, to run the campaign, and imme
diately raised the tonage on coal, over the
Ijehigh Valley Railroad, which he owns,
fifty-five cents per ton! This additional
tonage which must be paid by the consum
ers of coal, who are principally poor labor
ing men, "will soon make up the $100,000
furnished the State Committee. Who will
doubt the "shrewdness" of a man who can
make the consumers of coal ray the expen
ses a Gubernatorial campaign ? WoudYr
ful tinaocier, is Asa? But it won't w
We have received a new paper cal'ed "The
Elk Democrat," just started at Kidgway,
in the interest of John G. Hall the St
Mary's Gazette, the only other Democratic
paper in the county, being opposed to his
election. We can't find the name of any
editor, and presume from the tenor of the
articles, it is run by John himself. It is the
neatest paper, typographically, that has ev
er been published in Klk county.
The New York Xatioa has a correct con
ception of the party of "dead issues." It
eays : "The Democracy had only imbeciles
for chiefs since the Southern ones went into
delirium ; but madness seems more curable
than idiocy, and that still prevails in their
councils in our Northern section." Every
one w ho has paid the least attention to the
proceedings of the Democratic paity in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and who reads the pa
pers of that faith, will agree in opinion
with the Nation.
The rumor that Hon. R. C. Grier, was
about to resign his seat as an Associate Jus
tice of the U. S. Supreme Court, is contra
dicted by authority. Though very old he is
ono of the ablest Judges on the bench. We
think, however, that as a general rule all
Judges ought to be retired at sixty-five
years of age. There may be, and are, ex
ceptional instances where Judges over that
ace exhibit no decline in mental power and
judicial'vigor, but in the majority of cases,
the crotchets, whims, and decrepitude of
dccliuing life, after that age, unfits them for
the position.
Brick PoMEROYand his disciples are de
termined to have August Belmont, the rich
Jew, turned out of the position of Chairman
of the National Democratic Committee. "If,"
says the virtuous Pomeroy, "you put such
a man as Belmont at the head of the party
in 1872, you will not have a corporal's guard
of Democrats in the strongest Democratic
ward in the city of New York." On all
sides the howl is "down with Belmont 1"
And down he will go, because, like Packer,
he holds on to his money with too tight a
grip to suit the New York suckers, sharp
ers, and thieves who control the party. His
days as Chairman are numbered.
"Why," naively asks the New York
World, "don't the radical papers tell us
something about the President who 'swings
round the circle?" Simply because the
President who hapDcns to be 'swinging
round the circle' just at preseut has some
regard for decency and propriety. He does
not stop at every town that lies in his path
to get off an iuane political tirade, to abuse
the co-ordinate branches of the Government
to bandy words with roughs and ragamuf
fins, and to make himself a disgrace to the
country. That's the reason why none of
the radical papers see fit to abuse the Presi
dent for endeavoring to keep cool in the
dog-days by 'swinging round the circle.'
WnERE is Mutchler? He has not been
heard from since his appointment as Chair
man or the democratic Committee. It is
very evident that the Democratic canvass is
to be run "on the sly." Men who operate
chiefly with money in elections avoid all
other arguments. In fact, they have so
little to say for themselves that they fear the
field of reason. With Republicans it is dif
ferent. They court discussion. They live
by the exhibition and vindication of their
record. They must not, therefore, allow
themselves to be deluded by a silent cam
paign. The more public their efforts, the
more active their canvassers and orators, the
better for themselves.
There was one thing Parker could always
do to perfection he could 'bolt.' Eighteen
years ago, he bolted and opposed Judge
Campbell, the Democratic nominee for the
Snpreuie Court, and supported Coulter, the
Whig candidate, because the former was a
Roman Catholic !
Fourteen years ago, he bolted the Demo
cratic nominee for Judxe, G. R. Barrett, in
the Carbon and Wayne Districts, and unit
ted with the "Know Nothiugs" in the sup
port of John S. Bell for the same office I !
Nine years ago, he bolted from the true
and loyal democracy of Stephen A. Doug
lass, and supported Breckinridge, the candi
date of secession and rebellion ! 1 1
The friendshfp of Asa Packer for the
working man, finds ample proof ia the re
cord of his business career, as it is develop
ed from day to day. For example, from
1841 to 184$, he paid his employees in the
scrip of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company ut par, and then redeemed it from
them at 40 per cent, discount. The scrip
was next to useless. The men could not
buy anything with it, and were compelled
to submit to the shave, in order to procure
food and raiment for their families; of
course Packer did this all out of pure kind
ness of heart. He knew that "money was
the root of all evil," and that, he was doing
the poor men a service by just giving them
enough to keep body and snul together, and
putting the extra 40 per cent, in his own
pockwt. Is it any wonder he is worth so
many millions? What a friend to the
working men ? Heaven save them from
such "friends."
Tur burthen of Democratic speeches and
papers is "economy." They are all howling
about an economical administration of the
government. Let us guage them by their
acts instead of their professions : Last win
ter an attcuiDt was made in the Legislature
to raise the salary of members from $1,000
to $1,500. When the question came np in
the House, sixteen democrats out of thirty
eight, the number in that body, voted in
favor of raising it to $1,500, seventeen vot
ed against it, and five did not vote. Of
sixty-two Republican members, twelve vot
ed in favor of increasing the pay, forty-six
voted against it, and four did not vote.
Thus it stand on the question of economy.
Nearly half of the Democrats wanted to pay
themselves $500 more than the present law
allowed them. Only one-fifth of the Repub
lican members were willing to increase their
salaries. Such economy as theirs would
bankrupt the richest Government in the
world.

The California election resulted in the
choice of a Democratic legislature, which
will reject the XVth Article. The prece
ding legislature had six Republican majori
in the Senate, and a Democratic majority of
fourteen in the House. Grant carried the
Presidential vote by 514. The regular op
position ticket has probably been defeated
in San Francisco.
During the late struggle for the preser
vation of the Union, Asa Packer paid one
hundred men to go to Gettysburg, for the
purpose of repelliug the invaders of cur
State. Copperhead paper.
Such are the lies concocted to give Asa
Packer a respectable vote at the coming e
lection. When the war broke out Asa
Packer took his' bags of gold with him to
Europe, and never paid a dollar to the sol
dier nor his widow, and even refused to pay
his bounty taxes where they were legally as
sessed until the law compelled him to do so.
Telegraph.
The Democrats base their hopes of suc
cess in the coming election upon the apathy
of the Republicans. They hope to see a
considerable falling off of the vote of tho
Republicans throughout the State. They
argue that the Presidential election last fall
having called out a full vote, there will be a
reaction this year which will result in the
falling off in the total vote and operate to
the disadvantage of the Republicans, the
Democrats being accustomed to polling their
full vote on all occasions. There is plausi
bility in this reasoning, and it becomes al'
working Republicans, especially Vigilance
Committees to see to it that every Repub
lican vote is got ont.
Packer's popularity at home Is a favor
ite theme for certain Clearfield Democrats.
We commend to them the following from
the Mauch Chunk Gazette, published in the
county where he claims to reside, -although
he moved to Philadelphia to avoid paying
county taxes. It says :
"If any more testimony were required to
establish the fact of Judge Packer's weak
ness and unpopularity in his own party at
home, the result of the senatorial fight in
this district fully supplies it. - Col. Robert
Klotz, the warm friend and choice of Asa
Packer for the nomination, after the best
fight ever made against the Broadheadcom
bination, was forced to a withdrawal in con
vention in favor of the anti-Packer candi
date. It was thought that the audacity of
the opposing faction would hesitate at this
procedure, if only for the sake of appear
ances ; but when the test came the Judge
was ignored with a coolness indeed re
freshing. "
The Bradford-Hayes expedition to Green
land, has been heard of under date of July
27th, near Julietishaab. The ruins of an
old cathedral, built S50 years ago, by the
Northmen, at Krakatok, were photograph
ed.Tbe old cathedral or cjiurch is in a good
state of preservation ; the foundations and
doorways being perfect. The walls are of
immense thickness, which, it is asserted,
aecouuts for their standing so long. One
gable is firm and still eighteen feet high,
but the other is crumbling awny, and the
arched window will soon fall. At Julinshaab,
a magnificent glacier was discovered, and,
the photographic views from forty different
points were taken. Mr.. Bradford, the ar
tist, writes that the Arctic scenery is grand
and picturesque, and greatly exceeds his
expectations. The coast of Greenland
is coverd with iceberes, and the sea is
dotted with great floating islands, from
one hundred to three hundred feet high.
The expedition was about proceeding north)
nto Melville Bay.
The Southern Democrats seem to be get
ting their eyes open. While the Pennsyl
vania Bourbons are still clinging to the an
tiquated and exploded dogmas of "State
rights," "nigger equality," etc., etc., the
Southern journals seem to have aj-calizing
sense of the "situation," and begin to com
prehend the spirit of the age. The "Mem
phis Avalanche," one of the leading Demo
cratic papers of Tennessee, has the following
paragraph, which we commend to the pray
erful consideration of Wallace, Bigler and
the lesser fossils :
Recognize the negro's right to vote ; cease
to abuse and sneer at him ; treat him as a
human being, with a soul in his body, and
as susceptible ot the sensibilities, the
resentments and frailties of humanity, and
he will at once emulate the magnanimity of
the whites, endeavor to rival them in indus
try, enterprise and thrift, cultivate amity,
educate his children, acquire homesteads for
his family, strive to deserve the confidence
ot his fellow men, and, above all. he will
never cast his vote to the injury of the white
man, who he has learned, by kindness, is his
only friend.
The Age of Argument. At no period
in our history have the American people
been so at'entive to the reason and the sen
timent of political parties as at present.
The rapidity with which great theories have
triumphed has compelled this attention.
The citizen is no longer, or rarely, deceived
by personal attacks or party war cries. He
sees so many things accomplished which he
had been taught to reject, that he reviews
his own prejudices and gradually lays them
aside. The main point in this universal de
sire for information on all the leading topics,
and the one most fatal to the Democracy, is
the real surrender of the South to the ne
cessity and the benevolence of the abolition
of slavery. Now, to maintain slavery was.
ten years ago, a chief tenet of that party.
The most ignorant man cannot see the
good results of this overthrow without a pro
found distrust of the other dogmas of his
creed and without increasing contempt for
his old leaders. Not less hurtful to the De
mocracy is the admirable conduct of the
frecdmen and the general submission to
colored suffrage in the Swith. Democrats
recollect how they have been taught to look
upon tho negro; and as they see his indus
try, his eagerness to acquire knowledge, and
his rapid acquisition of property, they ask
themselves whether the politicians who de
nied him all these attributes are no longer
woithyof confidence. There are other as
pects of the age of argument, such as the
contrasted economy of Grant's administra
tion with the profligacy of all his Democrat
ic predecessors, and his rapid reduction of
the national debt, in the face of adverse
Democratic prophecies; but the main facts
of the surrender to the beneficial conse
quences of the abolition of slavery, and the
exemplary deportment and improvement of
toe fieedmeo are sufficient to point the iia
picaoive moral.

Mit FniTon: The erection of a new
jail, on the old site, is a topic of general im-
portance. It is rumored that Mr. dnanner,
one of the Commissioners, is in favor of a
new location, while the other" two are not.
Is this a fact? Do Messrs. Smead and
Stone desire to erect a monument of their
own folly, by building a jail where it will
b a nprrwtiial nuisance ? Do they want to
embalm their memories in stink, so that, in
all time to come, everv nasser by who gets a
snifter of the stench that must ensue for
want of proper drainage, will recollect the
wispaerea who decided urjon the location,
and Hess their memories ? Are they deter-
niined that, if they cannot do anything else
to immortalize themselves, they will at least
make a smell ?

Editor Journal: Good, pure watcris
one of the greatest and most healthful luxu
ries that a community can possibly enjoy.
Heretofore, Clearfield has been blessed in
this respect ; but is not the day approaching
when this will not be the ca.c? The soil
upon which the town is built, is a loose
sandy loam, eusccj tiblo of absorbing all
fluids that come in contact with it. As the
population increases, the number ot cess
pools will become more numerous, which,
together with the largely iucreased collec
tion of filth in our utreets and alleys, will
eventually cause the water to become uuBt
for use, and create sickuess and disease in
our midst. Then, the subject of providing
our town with pure water should receive the
early and careful consideration of the Bor
ough authorities. But, the question is,
how can this be done? The most feasible
mode, and, perhaps, the least cxrensiveone,
is the erection of a dam on Moose creek,
several miles above its mouth, and carry it
hither in pipes the water in the stream be
ing pure and cool. What do the citizens of
the borough thiuk of this proposition? Let
them speak out. A CITIZEN..
Mr. Row : 1 noticed two or three com
munications in the Journal, of late, upon
the "new jail." The one appearing last
week, I read and considered carefully, and
concluded, as did all my neighbors spoken
toon the subject, that the writer pnscnted
quite a number of reasons, any one of which
in itself should be a suSuient cause for sc
lecting a more elevated and larger site.
Having recently examined the designs on
exhibition in the Commissioners' office, I
last week, in connection with a neighbor,
went and took a look at the old jail and its
surroundings, and found it, as stated in tho
letter in your paper of tho 1st inat., located
in the very lowest anl marshy spot in town
and. judging from the wet and swampy con
dition of the grouud in the rear of the jail
even during th"i3 dry season, we concluded
that in a wet season it must be very un
healthy on account of the stagnant pools and
scepings of the rtabh that must necessarily
collect upon such grouud. After viewing it
for some time, we took a look at another site
spoken of in the same communication the
"South Park." This would, in many re
spects, in my judgment, be very suitable,
and altogether preferable to the old site.
We then went to the foot of the hill, on the
road leading up past Litz's old foundry.
There we found'quite a large scope of grouud
unoccupied, save by one old building. This
we thought was, by all odds, the best site of
the three in every respect. The drainage
will be very short, the ground has a gentle
and easy slope, and the water can run away
as fast as it falls, leaving no pools to become
stagnant by the heat of the sun. From the
designs, this is to be a model building of the
kind, and it certainly should be entitled to
the best site the town can afford. At all
events, I hope the new jail will not be
erected upon the site of th old one, with
out allowing the majority of the tax-payers
to have a voice in the matter.
