CIAEFIELD, PA.i APRIL 20, 1870.
Rich bedd of coal have recently been dis
covered near St. Louis. One of these beds
is four feet thick and onV four feet below
the surface.
. . Golladay's crime was the selling of cailet
ehips for a few dollars. Ilia to-be successor
was an officer in the rebel army, and fought
to subvert the country ; and for his greater
sin be finds favor in Democratic eye. But
like fancies like.
One of the banners borne by the colored
men at their celebration in Louisville read :
"We will live on bash before we will vote
the Democrat's ticket" The Lo-iisville ne
grocs seem to have a very roor opinion of
their Democratic fellow-citizens.
Rich and extensive coal mines having
been discovered tiftar Indianapolis, Indiana,
. it is prophesied that it will not be many
. years before Indiana takes back every free
" trade resolution she ever passed. Iron is
' also believed to be beneath Indiana soil.
Already the rebel organs of the South
are proclaiming Judge Chsse as a nominee
for the next Presidency. Gratitude for re
cent decisions and the Cincinnati letter in
spire the "unrepentant" all over the South.
Of such advocates and supporters no great
man need be very proud.
The Savannah (Ga.) Republican, laboring
under the impression that the entire Yankee
nation turns pale and starts back wi h af
. fright at the very mention of the name of
Robert Toombs wishes him dragged forth
from his obscurity and sent out to meet and
vanquish the cohorts of Radicalism.
It a pears that there is some difference be
tween Chief Justice Chase and Judge Davis
about reopening the legal-tender decision,
. and the story is that Judge Davis is a con-
vert to the opposition to Chase. If this be
- correct, there will be a decided majority in
- favor of the constitutionality of the legal
tender act.
We are glad to hear the World announce
that "the Democrats in Delaware have
- reaolvejj to have nothing to do with the
negro vote, but to appeal exclusively to he
- white vote of the State fr tupiK)rr, think
t ing that they can in this way gain over
more white Republicans from the working
men than are necessary to counterbalance
the negrevote.'' We suggest the same
policy in regard to the ten thousand colored
voters of Pennsylvania. Let them fight it
out on this line if it takes all summer.
The Tittsburg Gazette Fays: Wc have a
; fresh proclanation of the consistent devotion
of Chief Justice Chase to the cause of equnl
political rights. Jo all men. ' Ile.presents
liispwn case with an earnestness and point
which look more lite anxiety for the future
than solicitude . for a just appreciation of
. the past. But, query? since, as Chief
Justice, this citizen is quick to eat his on
words, and refute his own record as a Secre
tary of the Treasury, what assurance have
we that as President Chase ha -woulj-be
faithful to the record of an Ohio politician,
a Senator, or even of a Chief J ustice ? How
much might be yielded, then as now, o.' his
- recorded opinions, to political exigencies
and possibly Democratic temptations?
The Democratic press of Maryland do not
very generally endorse the action of the
Democratic State central Committee in ac
ceptingtthe fifteenth amendment as accom
plished, and looking to a conciliation of the
colored vote. Many of them denounce it
with all the vehemence and intemperance
of language which old pro-slavery hatred
end virulence are able to inspire. Nearly
all betray the intention, said to be universal
in the party, to expunge this amendment
and undo all the work of the last decade, so
soon a the Government passes into Demo
cratic control, regardless of constitutional
. restrictions. Even the papers which ap
prove of acquiescence and oonoiliation for
the present, do not conceal this ultimata
design. The country may as well know that
a Democratic national triumph hereafter
will be followed by a violent overthrow of
the Constitution and an attempt I turn back
the tide of the nineteenth century, which
pould only result in anarchy or a despotism.
Senator Saulsbury having been interviewed
by some of bis constitutepts, in-ref erence to
securing part of the negro vote in Dela
were for the Democratic ticket Is reported
as having said :
"We can't get the nigecr vote, Tte time
he tweeu this and the election ia too short to
jull the wool over their eyes. Tbey have
got just s mueh sense about voting as you
add I have, and it's co use talking. I've
lived among them all my life was raised
with them and used to own 'em, and I tell
you they have got too much sense to vote
with us next fall. They won't do it. . . I'll
tell you what to do go home and holler
"White Man's Party' That's our holt.
Ther's enoueh d d thick-headed ignorant
white men who vote the Republican flicks t
that we can get to voteoura,and weean beat
Go borne, boys.and set op a howl
W hite Man's Party "-"White Man's
Party "White Man's Party." Thenio
two years, when we have another election,
we will have plenty of time to cultivate the
nigger vote, and get as much of it as e
may want.
The expression of "d d thick-headed ig
norant white mea," shows plainly the esti
mation in which the white voters are held
by the leaders of the Democratic party, and !
-s wormy ut remembrance iw the future. 1
A Wail of Genuine Agony.
The Lexington Mo.) Cuvaissian, a Reb
el Democratic organ, gives vent to its pent
up wrath over the passage of the fitteenin
amendment, as follows:
"Down ! Down ! ! Down ! ! ! During the

About Stamps. We have been request
ed by Collector Rogers, of this Revenue dis
trict, to publish the following extract from
a recent circular from Commissioner Dela
no. It is important to Banks, Bankers,and
others using a large number of stamps :
"Owing to the extensive frauds commit
ted upon the revenues by the washing, re
storation, and re-use of such Internal Reve
nue adhesive stamps as have been nsed and
cancelled by the machine known as the "rib
bon stamp," it is hereby ordered and pre
scribed, that on and after May 1 , 1870, all
adhesive stamps used upon the instruments,
documents, writings, and papers, mention
ed aud described in Schedule (B) of the In
ternal Revenue Laws, shall be cancelled bv
the person affixing the same, in ink, the in
itials of his name, and the date, (year, month,
ani'day,)" upon which the same is attached
or nsed, or by cutting and cancelling the
same with the machine called "Wheeler's
Patent Canceller," or such other machine
or instrument as may hereafter be designa
ted and prescribed by said Commissioner ;
and that no other method of cancelling such
stamps, employed on or after that date;shall
be recognized as legal and sufficient, until
otherwise prescribed and ordered.
Killed bt Indians. We learn by the
news from the far West, that Frank Irwin,
aged abont 18 years a son son of Dr. Jas.
Irwin, who is known to many of our citizens
was killed by a band of, about 25 Indians,
in the outskirts of Atlantic City, Wyoming
Territory, on Thursday morning, March 31.
The attack was a surprise1, as it wa3 suppos
ed the Indians were peaceable, having been
sent to that vicinity by Gen. Augur. Af
tcr the attack a party of citizens went in
- . . . ... .T.
pursuit of the murderers, but they returned
the following day without having overtaken
them. The bodies-of five other citizens were
found in different places horribly mutilated,
and four others are still miising, wno it is
feared were also murdered. Several days
after the occurrences above related, a volun
teer party went io pursuit of the Indians,
whom tliey overtook in the Wind River Val
ley, and killed eleveu of the band, including
Black Bear, chief of the Arrapahoes. Sev
eral companies of infantry and cavalry have
been sent thither to protect the citizens from
further outrages by the Indians.
Canada to be Taken. We see by our
daily exchanges, that once again the tocsin
of war is sounded along the Canadian fron
tier that the Fenians arc again assembling
their invincible forces, in squads of from
twenty-five to fifty, and that superior offi
cers are traveling with them incognita and
that they are to cross the lake and fall upon
the panic stricken Canadians as the eagle
swoops upon iu prey. The Dominionwti,
however, are not to be taken off their guard.
Troops are being rapidly aembled to give
a bloody repulse" to the coming foe. Soon,
doubtless, long-drawn accounts will be pub
lished of ensanguined battles to I fou?ht
Would it not be well, seriously, instead of
the Lnited States sending fifty soldiers to
disarm these Feoiaus, to lt them, if they
wiu, attack the Canadians? The battle will
not amount to much, and there will be but
one. There will be no more Fenian inva
sions after it. The whole thing is a -miserable
farca, in which it is hard to tell which
is the greater fool, the Fenian or the Cana
dian. Our Cuepit Abroad. The credit of the
United States in Europe is daily becoming

Alison Burlineame is to havo a nnblin
funeral in Boston,
Papal Infallibility. '
Several days ago the "cable" announced j
the adoption, by an almost unanimous vote,
of the dogma of the Papal Infallibility, by j
the Catholic prelates assembled in Council at
Rome. lh& Pittsburg Gazette, in referring
to this subject, says:
"This result was anticipated by the Ainer
can branch of the church, but it was hard
ly thought probable that the new doctrine
would receive such unanimous support. In
asmuch as all faithful Catholics are bound
to believe in the infallibility of the General
Council, they will becompellcd to accept the
new article of faith and bend their necks to
what their church teaches is the work ot
God performed by his agents, the Bishops,
who are be.ieved to be, while in assembly,
instructed, guided, and inspired by the Ho
ly Ghost. At the inception of this dogma
there was marked dissension in the ranks of
Catholics, and some of the ablest theologians
of the faith combatted it with force,strength
aud independence ; but the opposition bad
nn wmorhr in the Council, the Pone triumph
ed, and under the admirable discipline of
the church, there will probably be no dim
culty in enforcing the newly promulgated
article, and it will be as firmly believed as
th.it. nt the Immaculate ConceDtion, which
dates back its confirmation but a few years.
"The infallibility of the Pope is an article
of faith which seems enveloped in mystery,
tor hv few inside or outside the Dale of the
Catholic church is it fully understood or
comprehended. As we take it, and we con
fess we have obtained but little information
on the subject either through our Catholic
or Protestant exchanges, all dealing with the
subject in vague and general terms, the new
fWnia does not hold that Pius lXth is a'
bove the weakness of the human flesh, or
incapable ot committing sin and blunders,
but that, in the absence of a sitting Council
of the church, when his word is uttered in
volving any point of faith, or promulgating
any new interpretation of a doctrine already
laid down, or his acts in any exigency arising
wherein the faith is endangered from per
sons or movements, inside or outside the
community, he is infallible, inspired by the
Hnlv tihost. and strengthened by -Heavenly
nnwer so much so that he cannot err. This
interpetation of the doctrine in a measure
wears away the rough edges of infallibitity,
a rlivrrine which is now embodied in tho ar
ticles of the Catholic faith, and which is
widely at varience with the ideas of all who
do not believe with that religious denomina
tion. There are many dogmas in the creed
of that Church, the Immaculate Conception,
the Real Presence, the Confessional, etc..
which find no more favor in the eyes of the
outsider than that of the Papal Infallibility,
and if the great portion of the human fam
ily believing in those tenets are satisfied to
bend their heads and judgments to the new
doctrine, all else should be satisfied, and the
world may move on as orderly as whr n the
1 ope was not clothed with sucu nign pre
rogatives." A NEC.r.o Stealer Pardoned. Gov
ernor Stevenson, of Kent ucky, has just .par
doned a Northern man from the Penitentiary
who bad been sentenced to seventeen years'
imprisonment for negro stealing. He was
convicted in 1S03, and had, therefore, serv
ed about seven years of the term of sentence.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, in com
menting upon this event, remarks that "this
may be set down as the last of tho imuicdi
ate consequences -of slavery in Kentucky."
Rather the: first, we would suggest, of the
consequences of the ratification of the Fif
teenth Amendment. It is no crime now to
steal a nigger in Kentucky.

Spain has apologized for the murder of

The apology is worth absolutely nothing
the indemnity ought to be great. lor the

in Cuba we doubt if Spain lias hitherto

made to pay roundly for her luxuries of

What is Thought of Him. The Utica
Herald presents, in the paragraph below
quoted, a just estimate of Governor Senter,
and of the political situation in Tennesssee :
"We have no faith in him. He is either
weak or wicked or both. We presume
Congress will estimate him at his true value,
and pay as little heed to his suggestions as
he did last fall to the advice of wiser man.
Let him go borne and sleep out his term on
the political bed he has made for himself."
