CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 27, 1870
Times change, and mea n'vW then. A
niong the orators at the colored men's cele
bration of the Fifteenth Amend mer.t at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, was ex-Governor Alpfceus
Fetch, one of the oldest, ablest, and best
Democrats Michigan has ever known.
Robert G. Harper, Ei-, one of the edi
tors of the Gettysburg Star and Sentinel,
died at his residence on April 18th, in the
72d year of his age. Mr. II. was one of
the oldest editors in the State having edi
ted the Sentinel for a period of 53 years.
In reference 1 1 the ch rcs brouf. ht against
O. O. Howard, of the Freeduien's Bureau,
by Hon. Fernando Wood, the Chicago Post
wittily observes : "Fernando Wood accuses
O. O. Howard of stealing. Now, we don't
believe O. O. did steal, but we do believe
Fernando Wood."
The Philadelphia Press saya that when
policemen take to maltreating peaceable
citizens, as two of them did a few days since,
they are about low enoturli down in the scale
of brutality to meet the congratulations of
the Democracy. A-hein ! that's pretty se
vere on the Democracy.
The Savannah RepuLlican thinks it"some
what remarkable" that no Southern man is
named by either party in connection with
the nomination for the next Presidency,and
it enters its emphatic protest against the
"slight" so far as the Democrats and Con
servatives are concerned in it.
Fishing and politics are appreciated by
the enfranchised negroes. The Nashville
Banner the -other day asked an old negro,
who was fishing in the river, "What luck ?"
He replied : "De fish is like de Democrats
arter us niggers' vote. Dey wants all de
bait, but won't hang on de hook." A
quaint, but truthful illustration.
The N. Y. World succumbs at last, and
virtuslly pledges the acquiescence of the
Democratic party to the Fifteenth Amend
ment. It makes this point : The "Constitu
tion is practically what the Supreme Court
construes it to be ; and considering the life
tenure of the judges, there is no great en
couragement for further agitation of the
question.''
One Daniel Pratt is urged by many Ala
bama papers as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of that State. Is he a certain
"Great American Traveler" of that name?
If so, he is rather open to the imputation of
being a "carpet bagser," which is always a
serious objection with the ex-rebels unless
the man is of unquestionable Democratic
antecedents.
On Wednesday last "the U. S. Supreme
Court made a very summary disposition of
the Hepburn-Griswall case, better known
as the legal tender case. The petition for a
re-hearing was dismissed, and leaves the
former action of the court in doubt ; but
independent to that action, legal tenders are
not sufficient to atufy a doli contracted
previous to 1862.
The House has decided that the election
in the First Congressional District of Lou
isiana was not valid thus disposing of .Mr.
Syphcr'g claims very summarily. The dis
affected Democratic press are in the habit
of declaiming that a scat will always be giv
en by this Congress to any Republican
claimant Will they make a note of this
Action, and give the lie to their former as
sertions ?
Hon. Benjamin G. Harris announces him
self as a candidate for the next Congress
from the Fifth district in Maryland, and
takes for his platform some relics of antiqui
ty recently discovered in Cheops. In other
words, he announces hiself as a Democrat
io Staterrights-anti-Fiueenth Amendment
candidate. Poor Harris! He had better
divest his mind of his antiquated ideas, and
submit to passing events.
The Philadelphia Ltqmrer in its money
column tersely says : "Until Congress ad
journs or takes some definite action on the
money measures now pending, merchants
and manufacturers will hold back money
from their enterprise, contracting their op
erations, for fear of some change in the fi
nancial policy that might involve them in
wriou loss if not in ruin. While the pres
ent uncertainty continues, trade proper will
be dull." -
Chief Justice Chasas, it appears, has two
etrings to his Presidential bow. One of the
Republican journals of Chicago says that
his Fifteenth amendment letter is bid for
Democratic party ; another Chicago Repub
lican orgap says thin letter is a bid for the
African party. We apprehend that whila
said letter is clearly for the African party,
and has a strong leaning to the Democratic
party, Jt will avail nothing with either party.
Because why ? Both are on another tack.
- '
As a party, the Democracy havo no love
fox soldier's orphan's homes notwithstand
ing a few conspicuous individual exceptions.
A significant illustration of this partisan ill
will was afforded in the OhiajScnate, on the
16th of April, when, to defeat the organiza
tion of a State "Home," for the little chil
dren in blue, the Democratic members at.
tempted to break up the session by desert
ing thair seats iu a body. This game was
shrewdly foiled, and Ohio provides a home
for her soldier' orphans, in spite of Detno
f ratic spite.
The Democratio Desertion of Georgia.
The Pittsburg Gazette says : "We have
to thank aeven Democratic Senators
Messrs. Casserly, Davis, Hamilton, Mc
Creery, Saulsbury, Stockton and Thurman
for remanding Georgia to military con
trol, and excluding her from present repre
sentation in Congress. Had they voted the
other way, the Pomeroy substitute would
have b-jen beaten,- 31 to 30. Having en
grafted these extreme Radical ideas upon
the bill, thee Democratic Seaators objected
to a postponement, insisting that it should
be passed forthwith. Also by the aid of
Democratic votes,the President was empow
ered to suspend the writ of habeas corjms.
Having thus perfected the measure to suit
their views, they suffered its final passage
by the Senate, 27 to 23, when, by voting a
gainst it, instead of dodging as they did,
they could have beaten it by a decisive ma
jority. "This is the latest phase of Democracy
for us! Supporting a military Government,
denying Federal rights to a State, suspend
ing a process which is essential to political
liberty all sanctioned bv Democratic Sena
tors. It is all right, yet it is very surpris
ing ! These votes should not be forgotten.
"Hereafter, when the opposition talk of
'military satraps. Radical oppressions, and
the wrongs perpetrated - upon Southern
rights, it will be answer enough to point to
the e Democratic votes, which have riveted
such 'hateful chains upon the limbs of South
ern freemen.' lhat wiil render further ar
gument unnecessary. Whether we have to
criticise a political blunder, or chronicle a
tardy conversion, it amounts to the same
thing at last."
The Indians. The Pittsburg Dispatch
says : "After all the outcry against Colonel
Baker, for his attack n the camp of the
Picgan Indians, his course is now justified
by the indications that the Indians have on
ly been waiting for spring and grass to com
mence again their war on the whites. Noth
ing is more clearly settled than that, during
winter, the United States troops should
wage decisive war against all Indians that
do not give the most perfect guarantees for
future good behavior. With the present
spring, apprehensions arc entertained of
danger to the Pacific Railroad, from the In
dians. The settlers are alert, and will not
suffer themselves to be surprised, but it is
impossible to guard so extended a line of
road against the roving bands of marauders
who will constantly cross and re cross the
track. Hitherto the Indians have had a
superstitious regard for the railroad, which
assumed in their eyes something more than
material shape. But they have better
knowledge now. A half breed, Fonie six
months ago, killed a white, and fled to the
Sioux for safety, and he has improved the
opportunity to instruct the savages in the
means to be employed to obstruct the road,
throw trains from the track, take up rails,
and otherwise interfere with the operation
of the line. There is good reason, there
fore, for the apprehensions which are felt
for the safety of the road."
Ax Important -Bill. On April 13th,
Mr. Armjtrong, of the Clinton District, in
troduced the following bill in the House of
Representatives, which was read and order
ed to be printed. As Clearfield is one of the
counties named, the bill will be perused with
interest by our readers generally :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of t'le Unite!- Strifes of A
merien in Congress assrmbteil. That ail pro
cess, in all actions and prosecutions, and all
judicial proceedings at law or in equity,
which shall hereafter arise, and in which the
defendant or defendants shall reside iu any
of the following counties of the western dis
trict ot l'ennsylvauia,viz : V yomine. Union,
Northumberland, Montour, Columbia, Sul
livan, Bradford, Tioga, Lycoming, Snyder,
Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Cameron and
Potter, shall be issued from and returnable
to the courts of said district, to be ho) Jen at
Williamsport, and, together with all suits,
prosecutions, or business heretofore begun,
pending and undetermined, arising from any
of the said counties, shall be heard or tried
there only, unlessFwith the consent of the
parties, the court shall direct the same to be
hoard or tried at the comts to be holden at
Pitts. burg or Erie, in said district.
A Sharp Trick. On Wednesday morn
ing, April 20t.li, the Treasurer's office of
Vermillion count;, Indiana, was robbed of
a large sum of money. The despatch an
nouncing the fact, also su.'ted that the rob
bers had fled to the woods, .nearly naked,
having thrown off their t-lothiu.g as they
were pursued by hundreds of people. But
it seems the fugitives were up to the emer
gency. Some time during the day,they pre
sented themselves to two well-known citi
zens on the highway, and drawing a revol
ver, compelled the citizens to strip off most
of their clothing, which the robbers put on
and then "lit out." The seaii nude citi
zens were soon picked up by a number of
men who were hunting the burglars, 2nd
having every external appearance of being
the fugitive thieves, they were arrested and
taken to Clinton or Newport fur trial. They
proved an alibi and got off.
Pity ox Vws.Tlie Absentees. Te
Daily Miners' Journal says : "Tho following
are the seven Pennsylvania members of
Congress who were absent when the vote
was taken in the House, on Monday even
ing, reducing the duty on pig iron form $0
to $5: Messrs. Haldeman, Stiles, Armstrong,
Getz, Van Auken, Covode anj Donnelly.
Donnelly was paired off with Orth, and
therefore is not censurable. If this figure
stands in the bill, these members, unless
their districts are free trade, or they can
give a reasonable excuse for their absence
may as well prepare for private life."
New Gold Mxis. Reports of the dis
covery of wonderfully rich gold mines in
New Mexiao, have reached San Francisco.
The ledges are represented as being from
fifty to three hundred feet in width, and eon
tain very rich quartz. The location of the
mines is Hear the Sullitt Ltcduroff Moun
tain, in the Virginia Distriet. fifteen miles
west of Burr's Mountain. Tucson is said to
be nearly deserted. Colonel Dunne, com
manding at Fort Bowie, has established a
post at the mines far tho protection of the
miners. Parties are leaving San Diego and
Los Angeles for the new iwirje3.
Homesteads foe Discharged Sol
diers. The bill lately presented in the
House by Hon. G. W. Scofield, of Pennsyl
vania, entitled "an act amendatory of the
homestead act of May 20, 1862" (says the
Newark Courier), commends itself to all,
inasmuch as it asks for no bounties what
ever, Jsut it is intended to give a veal and
solid encouragement to a large class of our
discharged soldiers who desire homesteads
upon the public lands in the Western States.
Such provisions as therein contained will as
suredly gain the approval of the Public
Lands Committee, as the bill is especially
designed to thoroughly protect and encour
age actual set tlement upon the public lands,
whilst the inducements presented are such
as should be held out to the ex-soldiers,
many of whom have but little means, with
large families to support, and would gladly
avail themselves of the privileges therein
contained. The conditions are much the
same as under the homestead act, but grant
much easier terms to the soldier at the com
mencement than is now obtained under that
act.
The policy of the Government is that the
remaining public lauds shall be taken up.
by actual settlers. This bill will materially
assist in accomplishing this great and wise
purpose. The thanks of the discba: ged sol
diers and the count ry are due J udge Scofield
for introducing, at this opportune time.such
a just, benevolent and most salutary measure,
as it not only secures a home to applicants,
but will very materially accelerate the settle
ment and improvement of the great West.
Such a measure will be a loug deferred act
of justice to many of our brave boys who
need homes. We hope the Pub. is Lands
Committee, to whom the bill was referred.
will take favorable action at an early day.
The Census. The ninth census of the
United States will be taken on the first of.
June next. Citizens can do much to for
ward the work and insure its thoroughness
by preparing statistics beforehand for the
deputy marshal. The names, ages, num
bers, sex, color, &c, of every family will be
required ; statistics of farm products, manu
factures, etc., etc., must be furnished.
Heads of families are the proper persons to
give this inform ation ; bnt in their absence
any member of the family over twenty may
act as their agent. A refusal to furnish the
information, or furnishing a false statement,
with knowledge, renders the person so of
fending liable to a fine of $30, to be sued
for and recovered in an action of debt by
the deputy marshal, or assistant to whom
such refusal or false statement shall be made.
The Philadelphia Press says that General
Forrest was recently at Greensboro, North
Carolina, seeking negro laborers for the rail
road, the construction of whieh ho is super
intending. He wanted a thousand, but ob
tained only thirty. While there he pom
pously announced he would have no Rich
mond negroes; he had tried a hundred of
them, and found them, without exception
genuine Radicals. His ill-success in Greens
Loro would seem to indicate thatDeinocratu
colored laborers are scarce in the South. We
are sorry for the General, but really don't
see how he is to man his picks and shovels
with an orthodox Democratic force," unlets
be shall relinquish entirely his idea of ob
taining colored laborers, and apply, say in
New York .for a different article.
Wfiat Makes Drunk. They have been
analyzinjfsome whisky, gin and port wine
in Stoning,on, Conn., and the result must
be very comforting to the tipplers. The
port rine contained oxide of lead and sul-
1 phuric acid, besides arioTis coloring and
astringent drugs. 1 rnf. cilmuan says ot
this precious decoction that it would be hard
to find a "viler or more pernicious falsifica
tion of a wine or liquor than this sample."
A pint bottle of whisky was found to contain
sulphuric acid, )ad. iron and fusil oil. The
gin consisted of lead, su-phuric acid, oil of
juniper, oil of turpentine, sugar and other
ingredients.
Humors of War with Spai.v. The
telegraph reports a highly sensational rumor
to the effect that we are on the eve, of war
with Spain and that immense orders for
naval stores have been issued by the Navy
Department. Such rumors should be re
ceived with a large margin of allowance.
Spain has enough to do at home just now,
and is not likely to seek a foreign war; and
the United States arc not likely to plunge
into hostilities against a foreign natiou
without a good reason.
Senator Saulsbcry's term expires
on the 4th of March, 1871. Should the

that island were commenced, and feels him
self so far identified with the transaction
that its failure makes it necessary for him
to go out of office.
The Worsd. M. Vivien de Saint-Martin
in his Geographical Almanac for 1869, esti
mates the number of yellow people in the
world at 584,000,000; whites, 580,000,000 ;
blacks, 130,000,000; Malays, 25,000,000;
other races, 30,000,000; and aboriginal
Americans at 12,000,000. This latter figure
is well calculated to appal Gen. Sheridan,
if he is credulous enough to bolieve every
thing he reads.
When the Republican party came into
power in 1S60, in Indiana, they received as

$10,000,000. To this amount the war ad

The Louisville Cotmnercud, in advocating

The figure is a good one, but the analogy is
imperfect. Healthy stomachs are often able
to digest very tough food, provided it has
been first properly prepared ; but no consti
tution could bear the strain which would en
sue upon swallowing several bushels of lob
sters at cne time, especially if their claws
were left on. We can probably assimilate
all tho leading rebels in time, but shall have
to take them at numerous sittings, and not
too many at once. Even then experience
teaches us that many of them have horns,
and hoofs and claws.which cause a dreadful
