U. S. District Attorney wu presented, and
the oath of office aduiiiiietered to hiw by

The Secretary of the Treaury has direct
ttie Aaaiatant Treasurer in New York to sell
one niilliou dollars in gold each week during
the month of February, and to purchase
one million dollars worth of bonds on each al
U'tna'e week on account of the Sinking Fun.
J. J. WrigTt, colored, was on February
lt. chosen a Justice of the Supreme Court
of South Curol'ma by her Legislature, re
ceiving the solid Democratic vote. The
Democrats are aware that they have con-
siderable leeway to make up in the race for
the negro vote ; - and they are not disposed
to waste any more time.
Tlumra of assassinations, and the eleva
tion of Santa Anna to power, are again cur
rent from Meaico. It seems there never
will be penuaneut peace and order in that
distracted country until it becomes a part of
the United States. - Such an event would
afford a grand opportunity for the Democra
cy to electioneer with the "greasers."
Th New York Sun gays: It is said there
never was so powerful nor so corrupt a lobby
at Albany as this winter. This indicates
great corruption in the Lcgialatorc. 1 he
Democracy must look out Individual may
make money by venal legislation ; but tte
shame and tha blame will be ruinous to the
party. Where ia Governor Hoffman ?
3fr. Geo. W. Gayle, of Salem. Alabama,
the man who offered a reward of $ 1, 000,0)0
for Lincoln's assassination, has appealed to
Senator Warner, asking to be relieved of po
litical disability, but that Senator gave him
little encouragcn)ent,his motto, as he lately
declared in the Senate, being, "I would go
to the South with universal amnesty in one
hand and the halter in the other." 31 r.
iiayle may draw hi own inference.
A new party was oranii-.'d in New York
on Wednesday, February 1 under the
name of "New Democracy." The founders
base the party ou the fundamental prin liple
of requiring the reference to the people of j
all laws passed by their Ujislative represent- j
lives, a? is dufio in fferal of the rwiss
cantons, A brwwii Dia is niau in me pisi
form for the vote of i! women. Tho new
Democrats favor the running if all the rail
roads and Uflueranhs bv the itoveriiwnt.and
the employment of everybody that wo.ts j
work, by the national and local authorities, j
ritics. .
Now there is a sublimity about Tennes
iee politics .that must recommend them to
etudy if not admiration. The Fifteenth
Amendment is utterly ecouted; it is odious,
iniquitous. Yet "we the people of Tennes
see," "are determined to show the world
that we ain't afraid to meet the issue ia our
own way. We will grantsuffrage univers
al suffrage by State law." This being in
terpreted, means that they will grant what
they denounce, affirm what they deny, and
all for tha sake of indulging the childish
sentiment of having things their own way.
Well, the country can enjoy their whims.
They happily injure none but whom they
stultify.
. ; 7 ; r
lleoonatruction bring with it some sngu
lar incidents. In the Tennessee Constitu
tional Convention the other day, General
Kyle, who served in ths Union army, at
tempted to give Brownlow, Stokes and May
nard a "dressinjrdown." Kyle is a Repub
lican, and the President of the Convention
was a Confederate General The litter
ftromptly silenced Kyle, by compelling him
to adhere fo the question before the Con
vaotton, and the body was disappointed in
its desire to have Brownlow scathingly re
viewed. The spectacle of a Confederate
General calling a Republican to order for
abasing men of bis own party was a singular
one. '

The Fifteenth Amendment.
The great work w accomplished. Georgia
makes up the requisite two thirds of, the
Statei h cb have joinc 1 in the ratification of
the Fiftetruth Amendment te the Federal
Coti'tit ution. The power that were arrayed
againrt it wfre pt?nt and manifold the
prejudices, the caste proscription, the prop
erty interests of slavery, and the sympathy
and aid of the Democratic party, North as
well as South. The change that will be ef
fected iu the fctract'vre A our Government
is a great one as gre-at as that which trans
formed the C'i'lontes into an independent
Republic. It ha.i ru bed out the last ves
tiges of the slave power, and made the dec:
Iaration that ''all men are created equal" a
grand ex "sting fact, instead ot a glittering gen
o al t, llenc. fjith the Constitution w.ll be
truly Hfpublioan, and the dogma that "the
negnhasno rights which a white man is
bound o re.-pcot" will have pasaed away for
ever. 'I
Tbirt i the third amendmei t to tl.e Cons.i
tution which has been made since the close
of the war. By theThir'eeuth Amendment
s'avery it abolished and interdicted ; by the
Fourteenth, equal civil rights are granted to
all colors; and by the Fifteei ih, neither the
J United States, or any State can d-.-ny the
i right of Ktrrrage on account ot race, color,
or pre ious conuf?.'oa of slavery. This is
the great trinity of measures -full of the
trand inspiration of Christianity which,
prompted by an eulightened and liberal pub
lic sentiment, has been consummated by the
Republican party. That this work will be
unpalatable to the Democratic party afflict
ed with chronic negroloid and that its op
ponents will threaten to undo and over
throw it, is to be expected. When slave
ry was aboll-hed, the Democrats declar
ed tlie process ot its abolishment un
constitutional, and professed to believe iu
its early re establishment. A year after
ward they made haste to declare that the
rcviviGcauon of the institution was no part
of their purpose ; in short, that they could
not if they would, and they would not if
they could. 3o with the amendment es
tablishing equal suffrage. It is a completed
work, not to be touched or defaced, aud its
opponents will shortly be endeavoring to
blot out all memory that they ever obstruct
ed its completion ; and when they fully re
alize that the colored man has become an
important element in politics, the leaders of
the Democratic party will doubtless see in
him elements of character and usefulness
which they had previously failed to discover.
For a while we may look for attempts to
subvert the application and meaning of the
Amendment as in Maryland, where no
man can vote unless he is registered, and
wbere a State last prohibits the registering
of a black man but these will only be. the
dying throes of the struggle, and will pass
away as soon as Congress enacts the "ap
propriate legislation'' to enforce it iu all
the States.
Democracy and Repudiation.
Democracy "stickcth closer than a broth
er" to the heresy of Repudiation, the assev
erations of their newspaper organs to, the
contrary notwithstanding. Several weeks
ago, Hon. William Mungen, of Ohio, raised
a breeze on the subject, in the lower Honse
of Congress ; but the direct and undisguised
manner in which the innocent William pre
sented the matter did not meet with the ap
proval of the shrewder leaders, and hence
Voorhecs, of Indiana, Eldridge. of Wiscon
sin, Brooks, of Sew York, and other shin
ing lights of the party, not only failed to
"come to time,'.' but even voted with the
Republicans, for a resolution declaring re
pudiation disreputable and dishonorable.
This apparently settled the question but
only apparently, for on the 2:4th. ult., Mr.
Voorhees, who had led off in the disavowal
0f Mungen'a views, delivered an elaborate
f,peech, which was a kind of sugar-coated
prescription for our financial evils, but con
tained all the essential features of the Pen
dleton "greenback" repudiation scheme. Of
this there can be uo doubt, for the next day
Mr. Gollodav. of Kentucky, made a speech
in favor of repudiating the whole National
JJht, and complimented oot hees for his in
I eniOw- argument, whilst adopting the lat-
tei prPicDi!MoD of the subject as the best
iDeech fcr repudi:t'on be had heard.
This brought V .;orhees auJ Eldridgo to their
Ret, but Golloday refund to yiC'd the floor
to them for explanations, "anu stuck . td it
that they had placed themselves "sqwrely
opou his platform and that of the Democrat-
io party," but regretted that the gentleman
trom Indiana and the party''had not the cour
age to say 60 in the face of the country."
Voorhees and Eldridge again sought the
floor ; but the Kentucky member still refus
ing to yield, they pronounced his "course as
rather cowardly." When Golloday intimat
ed that they could have an opportunity of
testing their own valor on 'other theatres,"
they said they "referred only to cowardice
in debate," to which Golloday replied that
l... " ..t1K iKtitl
. j ly and intellectually." After he had 6nish
ed his speech, V oorhees, Kldrtdge, Niblack,
ami other Uomocrata attempted to aenue
their several positions, and to explain away
Golloday's interpretation of tho Democratic
creed. Their explanations may have been
satisfactory to themselves, but discriminat
ing people win Teceive mem witn nianv
trains of allowance. Nor is the trouble con
6ned to Congres. The rank and file of the
party are inoculated with the virus of Re
pudiation so thoroughly as will render abor
tive the efforts ot their most skillful doctors
to eradicate it from their systems. Indeed
it is doubtful whether anything short of a
miracle can do them gnod.

Washington City Gossip,
The progress made toward the passage of
a htw against the Franking fraud has already
resulted i the reportiug of a bill to restrict
the minting of "Pub. Docs." to the lowest
limit. This is a highly encouraging incident.
It not only shows how one swindle may be
upheld by another, but also shows how one
swindle may tumble with another.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
has wisely decided against raising tbe mis
sion to China to a "full mission." This
means that the movement to raise the salary
of Mr. Lowe has failed. There were many
other movements of this sort in preparation.
which might as well now all be brought to
an end. Our Ministers and other public
functionaries can give valuable assistance to
the movement tor decreasing the public debt
and lightening the-burden of taxation, by
simply refraining, for a while, from any de-
mauds for inctease of salary.
Tbe House Judiciary Committee has a-
greed to recommend the parage of a resolu
tion restoring to Mrs. R. E. Lee certain ar
tie'esformer'y the property of General Wash
ington, which were removed from Arlington
early in the war and deposited in the Iote
rior Department. These relic? consist of the
General's camp equipage, china ornaments,
etc.
Mr. Farns worth of Illinois, on February
P5th, reporting a bill from trie Post Office
Committee to prerent such improper matter
as gift enterprise and lottery circulars from
being sent through the mails, asked that it
be pet upon iti passage, but Mr. Wood of
New York oLod, which waa entirely na
tural and highly laudable. Self-prescrva
tion is a primal law t$ be obeyed unflinch
ingly on all occasions.
Opposition to General lagan's bill for the
reduction of the number of officers in the
army, together with the reduction of their
pay, begins to show itself in various ways,
especially among army officers. The bill,
should it become a law, will cut off a large
number of officers, and materially reduce the
pay of those who may be retained. Gener
al Logan has a majority of the committee
with him, and as it is a measure in tha in
terest of economy he will probably be able
to cany it against all opposition.
The National Debt was reduced not quite
Four Millions of Dollars in January. It
strikes us that we don't urgently need to re
duce our revenue if that is all we can pay in
a month. Better reduce the Expenditures
and keep up the Revenue. . That Hundred
Millions of Gold in the Treasury is an eye
sore to which we are accustomed, but not
reconciled. -
Notes From Harrisbnig.
In the House of Representatives at Har
ri&burg on Monday a week, a petition was
presented, signed, among others, by Rev.
Alfred Barnes, of Philadelphia, praying the
appointment of women inspectors of prisons,
and immediately Mr. Miller offered a bill
providing for the appointment of three such
inspectors for the Philadelphia county
prison.
The Philadelphia Metropolitan Police bill
passed the Senate on Wednesday last, by a
vote of 16 to 13. This bill places the police
of that city under the control of a commis
sioner appointed by the Governor. There
is some difference of opinion as to the policy
of this measure, even among the Republi
cans. What effect it will have remains to
be seen.
State1 Treasurer, Mackey, ba been before
tbe committee appointed to inquire into the
management of the State Treasury, for some
years past, and, according to the Telegraph,
answered every question promptly and satis
factorily showing that the finances were,
during bis administiation, carefully manag
ed and the State protected against loss.
A resolution was offered, last week, to
discharge all persons not properly employed
in tbe House. This was a move to discharge
the "pastcr anI folder" corps, which baa
hrd nothing to do, so far, this session, as
no documents of any kind have been print
ed. The Speaker, however, ruled the reso
lution out of order, as the men were employ
ed under a law and reeularly sworn in, and
could not be discharged in that way. The
proper course is to repeal tho law providing
for their employment.

A private letter from an influential source
in Spain is published iu the New York Ece
mug Foil, in which the writer states that
a good strong majority of Spaniards are at
this moment favorable to tbe separation of
Cuba from Spain by means of a treaty se
curing compensation to Spain for the loss of
the colony. This sentiment, the letter says,
would have manifested itself before this. but
for the diplomacy of General Sickles. Alittle

Falls Citt, Neb., Jan. 23th.. 1870. ,
Mr. Editor. Having nothing praticular
Ob hands, this evening, I concluded to renew
my talk with the Journal on tbe new beau
ties that are being continually displayed in
this wenteru wild. I used to-think while
reading Richardson's "Beyond the Missis
sippi," that to reach the banks of that great
river would pm a quietue on tbe western fe
ver that for years raged in my youthful
brain. I am now three hundred miles be
yond, and yet I am not west ; nearer the
centre, however, of this gigantic country. I
can say to you, aa well as to my Clearfield
friends generally, that even now the western
fever has as firm a hold on me as it ever bad,
and I would advise all young men
. r
no mat-
ter what their vocation or profession to
seek a borne in the far west.
I see in your last issue a letter from Mis
sissippi, pa'ut ng that State up as the "El
dorado of America," but I can say to you
truthfully and all who have resided in Ne
braska will ccr ol orate my assertion that
the "Antelope State" cannot be surpassed
for health, scenery and agriculture.
The all absorbing matter of interest which
appears to agitate the minds of our citizens,
is our Rail Road. Tbere i-i a great deal of
speculation as to whether the road will be
completed by the 15th of the incoming
month, ic order to be inspected by the Com
missioners appointed by the State for that
purpose. I? the Commissioners accept the
road, tbe Company will receive two thous
and acres per mile as a State grant. The
contractor, however, azures that tbelas-t
rail, connecting the Missouri RailRcd with
this place, will be down by the 12th cf Feb
ruary. But no matter whether it is finished
by that time or not, we will have a road,
and early spring will find our farmers ship
ping their thousands and thousands of bush
els of grain, that they are withholding until
he advent of the "Iron Horse."
I received a long letter, a short time since,
from our old friend, Dr. John Mechling,
who no doubt many of our Clearfield friends
will recollect as the Examining Surgeon of
the 19th District, Pennsylvania.
He is now practicing law in Denver, Col
orado. He speaks of Denver being a live
western: town, as tar ahead of Omaha as
Omaha is ahead of Clearfield, although I
suppose the Jatter place is not so slow since
you have the Rail Road. The Dr., howev
er, says a great many are leaving Denver and
going "west." Out Omaha papers say that
a great many of the gentler sex arc emigrat
ing to Wyoming Territory, since the Legis
lature passed the Woman's Suffrage Bill.
I expect many from Clearfield here in the
spring. More anon. T. a.
The 2.th Statk Is The Line. Geor
gia has wheeled into the line of States by
adopting tbe several amendments fo the
Constitution of the United ??t?t p'orwd
since it joined the rebellion. The Senate
and House met yesterday, porstiant to ad

plying with the cooduiows imposed by Con
gress for the restoration of the State to its
original relations to the Union. The Gov
ernors message set forth the political status
of the State and its relation to the Gener
al Government, recommended the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment, with the
fundamental conditions" required by tbe
act of Juno 25, 18f8, and the adoption of
the fifteenth amendment. The fourteenth

The pope han a keen eyo for harmony iu
form, as well as a quick sense of the humor
ous. W hen the Oriental liixhops were
presented to him, one of their number
came up so deplorably hideous, such a scur
vy caricature of a man that it was beyond
human nature to look upon hint undjstur-
bed. hat language does this one
speak?" asked the Tope in amazement.
None but his own," responded Cardinal
Camerlengo. ''Ah!' said the Pope, and
bending, with a gracious smile, he extend
ed his hand to be osculated by the doleful
little Syrian, murmuring gently as ho did
so, in Italian, "You are certainly the very
ugliest son of Jesus Christ that I ever beheld.
The sweet Tuscan words, the gentle smile.
and tbe sacred name, doubtless sent the
poor little man away as happy as if he bad
received tbe most claoorate oi conveoiiona
benedictions.
