CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 25, 1870.
The Virginians are so prejudiced egainst
the colored people that they have just voted,
in the Legislature, not to let theui pay tax
es ! There is no evidence that the blacks
will rebel against the decree.
A man from Lewisburg, attending the
Pennsylvania Reserve Association in Lock
Haven, on Tuesday, May 17th, had a hand
blown off, by the premature discharge of a
cannon, while engaged in 'firing a salute.
Late advices from Cheyenuestatc that the
Big Horn expedition has been entirely a
bandoned, and that about 250 members are
now encamped two miles from there, and
will go to the Sweet AVater mining district.
It is thought that Dr. Schocppe, under
sentence of death for alleged poisoning of a
patient to whom he was engaged to be mar
ried to obtain her property, will be execu
ted, notwithstandtnj the great efforts to
obtain a new trial.
The growth of Republicanism is well
ehown by a comparison of the Governors of
States now with those of I860. Ten years
ago the list showed 15 Republican Govern
ors and 19 Democratic and Know Nothing.
Now the the Governors of 2S States are Re
publicans, 7 are Democrats, and 2 rank as
Conservatives.
The negroes voted without molestation in
New York on the 17th of May, for Judges,
Several of them appreciated the privilege of
suffrage so highly that they '"repeated,"
and consequently got themselves into legal
trouble. It is rather surprising thai any of
the freshly made citizens would so soon take
to Democratic practices.
A few days since a police detective tele
graphed to Ogdensburg that two car loads
of suspicious looking men were on their way
thither, and that no doubt they were Feni
ans. After a terrible scare, it turned out
that they were Methodist ministers, on their
way to attend a conference. Rather a big
joke on the ministers, that.
The Democrats of Centralia, says the Chi
cago Post, by way of a grim joke, elected a
colored Republican ono of the -Alderman of
that city. The cream of the joke is, he is
the most talented gentleman the Democrats
of Centralia ever elected- to any office. If
the Democracy should generally imitate the
Centralia example, it would be a decent
party.
The Chicago Post says : In some of the
wards in New York, miserable Democrats
voted on the names of respectable colored
men who had been registered for the first
time. Fancy the disgust of a newly enfran
chised citizen, the head of a respectable fam
ily, upon discovering that he had been per
sonated by a villian fresh from Sing Sing, a
member of Tammany, and, may be, an asso
ciate of Fernando Wood !
Miss Susan B. Anthony has announced
that the Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham,of
Ohio, has espoused the cause of female suf
frage, and intends to introduce into the next
Democratic Stifle Convention of Ohio, a res
olution embodying and indorsing this newly
acquired political creed. This will prove a
bomb shell of no ordinary dimensions thrown
in the midst of that boasted "Conservative"
party that rejects all progressive ideas as
heresies.
Sats the Atlanta Xrio Era: "The fact
will now hardly be credited, certainly not by
Democratic newspapers, that more miles of
railroad have been built in Georgia since
Governor Bullock was elected than during
fifteen years before that time ; but it is none
the less true. And since his taking charge
of the State road, in Ju!y,18fS, more Nor
thern and western freights have been deliver
ed to connecting road; thus distributing
the benefits throughout the State than
during any ' similar length of time in the
history of the western and Atlantic Railroad.
A young fool named Frank Thome pro
poses to jump from Suspension Bridge into
the river at Niagara Falls, a distance of one
hundred and ninety feet, on the 13th of
August. Seats are to be provided, erected
on both shores, sufficientto accommodate
several thousand people! and older and
prater fools than Thorne have promised to
raise ten thousand dollars as an inducement
to him to risk the commission of suicided,
lias "reason fled to brutish beasts ?"
Have men and women "last their under
standing?" And is there no law or no
public opinion strong enough to prvent so
fearful and wicked a proceeding ?
It is now believed by those engaged in
Congress upon the Utah bill that the sum
mary abolition of polygamy and the conse
quent breaking up of the state of society
founded upon that horrible institution would
cause much suffering to "innocent parties."
The innocent parties are the children first
and next, no doubt, the wives that will be
left without support or social position when
every man is restricted to a single spouse. It
would be strange if consideration for the
innocent victims of polygamy should pro
long its life. Congress must not be over
nice here with the men it finds in a flam-ant
wrong. It must provide for the support of
tuese women and these children by devoting
to that special purpose so much of the prop
erty of the Saints as may be necessary. The
whole Mormon society and capital is before
the world responsible for the support of
these widows and orphans.
Another Eailroad Project. - j
A grand through-lino railroad project is
now before Congress, which is to traverse
Pennsylvania from the southeast to the north
west. It is substantially the same general
line chartered by the last Legislature of this
State, and vetoed by the Governor on ac
count of some unconstitutional provisions in
the bilL
The House committee on Railways and
Canals have the bill, above referred to, un
der consideration, and will, in all probabili
ty, recommend its passage. The bill au
thorizes the construction of a railroad and
telegraph line from Washington, D. C.J to
Cleveland, or to the city of Erie, Pa., and
names some twenty-eight corporators' resid
ing in Washington, Virginia, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. It is
called the- Atlantic and Northern Lakes
Railroad and Telegraph Company, and
grants them the right of way through the
States, with authority to take property for
the right of way, and to pay in the manner
provided by the laws of the several States
through which the road is to be constructed.
It is strange, but nevertheless true, that
nearly every great railway enterprise that
haa been projected within the last eight
years, to traverse this State, has centered
upon Clearfield a3 an important point upon
the line of construction. And now again,
Clearfield seems to be destined to become a
point of interest in the construction of the
Atlantic and Northern Lakes road, as it lies
nearly on a direct line between the two ob
jective points named in the bill now before
Congress.
We hope our influential citizens and capi
talists will give this project their united,
earnest, and immediate attention, and, should
the bill finally pass Congress authorizing the
construction of this great thoroughfare, use
their utmost endeavors to secure its location
through this place. Now, is the time to
move in this matter. After the passage of
this bill it may be too late.
Tiik New York Election. An election
for Supreme Judges, was held in New York,
on Tuasday last, May 17th, which resulted
in the choice of three Democrats and two
Republicans. Although the contest was
not a strictly political one, 3et the Demo
cracy resorted to their usual system of frauds,
to swell their majority in the city to its ut
most capacity. To fchow the truth of this
statement, it is only necessary to give a
brief extract from the Wvrll, the organ of
the Democracy in that city. The World says:
"Repeating was carried on as usual and
with usual auccess. In some of the districts
the rccister lists were but seldom consulted
a fact which made repeating and other il
legal voting comparatively easy.
Such is the statement of the. World, and
yet the small fry of the jiarty rejoice over
the result as a great Democratic victory.
Well, let them rejoice, we do not envy them
their hilarity. We would rather be defeat
ed, than to be successful under such a sys
tem of frauds as the World admits.
Oregon Democracy. It is rumored
that the Democracy of Oregon have taken
th question of home finances under con
sideration, and have concluded "that an a-
groetneut to pay high rates of interest is a
sufficient cause to justify the repudiation of
the principal." Law rate.? of interest are
notcommon in Oregon, and the money which
the State needs for its development will not
be likely to be attracted thither, if it is known
that it Is the deliberate conviction of theciti
zens that high interest debts can be justly re
pudiated. A Republican paper gravely ex
pressed the hope that Democrats wi'I
join with Republicans in voting the Demo
cratic proposition down. Unless the people
are hopelessly in debt, they will certainly do
this ; and eveu if they are, theadvice to re
pudate will prove bad in the long run. They
will do well to remember Mississippi and
Jeff. Davis.
A Cm an Armed Vessel. The report
that a Cuban, armed vessel had put to sea
from New York appears to be well founded.
A letter received from a member of the ex
pedition, forwarded from Sandy Hook, con
firms the rumor of its departure, and add
these interesting particulars: The Upton is
a 700 tons bark-rigged, powerful English-
vessel, and can steam fifteen kr.ots per hour.
She is pierced for four guns, which is thought
sufficient, as sh is intended for a trans
port. Thomas L. Dorwin, late of the Hor
net, of the Confederatenavy,is in command.
and Robert Summers, also of the Hornet,
is second in com maud. The majority of
the offieers are brave and experienced men.
The military portion of the expedition is
commanded by General Valiente, late of
General Goicouria's staff, who is seconded
by Colonel Darke de Kay.
Reserve Reunion. The Pennsylvania
Reserve Association held their annual reuni
on at Lock Ilavcn, on Tuesday last May
ltn. Speeches were delivered by Gen.
Meade, Col. W B. Mann, and other distin
guished gentlemen who are connected with
this patriotic organization. The exercises
closed with a grand banquet in the evening.
The meeting was, in ail respects, a pleasant
one, and the war-worn veterans, who were
once such a terror to the enemy, have re
turned home with fresher memories of their
historic achievements, and the friendships
of the field more strongly cemented. Long
may they live to enjoy these annual reunions.

A Bia Ssaki Stokt. Most persons
have' heard of the Irishman who, while
engaged in digging on a canal, took out "a
bundle of schnakes as thick as his thigh,"
and holding them up called them "The
united schnakes ot Amirika," but the fol
lowing account of the finding and destruc
tion of a vast number of "sarpients" is be
yond precedent The story ia related by a
western paper, and, therefore, must be true:
"At Big Island township, Marion eounty;
Ohio, on the farm of Alexander Campbell,
a great snake hunt recently occurred. The
party was headed by Captain J ackson Brady,
who led his gallant company down into the
tall prairie grass, and surrounding a twenty
acre lot, 6et tire to the outer edge of the grass
at 4 P. M. The grass burned well, the flames
rolling up ten feet high, and as the line ad
vanced the snakes retreated into the centre,
sometimes making desperate efforts to spring
through the flames, but the blaze being too
heavy they were killed in the attempt. At
7:45 P. M., the ground was burned over, and
Captain Brady went over the held of carnage
and picked up the debris of the great army
of snakes, and by actual count there was
found to be 13,983 snakes of all sizes.. One
black racer was nine feet four inches long
and seven inches in circumference ! This
may be considered a good . day's work for
this neighborhood, as the snakes had become
so bad that small children were afraid to go
to school, and they even attacked some
adults, several having been bitten on their
boots, and it had become a common thing
for fifty or a hundred snakes to chase men,
women and children across this paririe; The
milk snakes were constantly milking ihe
cows, and thereby interfering with the dairy
business in that section.
Terriede as were some of the wounds of
the rebellion, we doubt if a soldier on either
side was as badly crippled as one of the War
of 1812. He is described as "the worst cut-up
man the country ever saw." He was woun
ded in the Sight known as Perry'8 Victory.
During the engagement ho was stooping
down to pick up something, when a chainr
shot took off both his arms and legs the
former below the elbows, the latter below
the knees. He afterwards adapted himself
thoroughly to his shorn condition ; would
run and dance on bis knees with great agility,
and taking a stick iu his elbow joint, would
fence and defend himself, parry and thrust,
advance and retreat, with great alacrity.
Spared by the chain-shot he at last met his
fate in an encounter with that slayer of mil
lions, John Barleycorn. '
Dancing Disapproved. The address
0f the Bishops lathe General Conference of
the M. E. Church South'contains this para
graph : "Indulgence in worldly and fashion
able diversions is another great enemy of
earnest piety which is invading the Church,
and threatening to estrange our children
from us. Dancing, in particular, whatever
plausible excuses may be pleaded for it, is
destructive to the growth, not to say the
very existence of spiritual religion in those
who delight to indulge in it. Generally, it
is a species of 'reveling' condemned and for
bidden by the word of God, audits tendency
is evil only."
Milks ok Teach Trees. One of the
most singular sights growing out ot the war
is a continuous line of peach trees of nearly
Gfty miles in length, around Petersburg,
and extending towards Richmond. They
are growing from the breastworks thrown
up by the, rebel army, and are the only lega
cy left by the rebels who were on the advance.
Having eaten of the fruit while on picket
duty, they cast the seeds aside, and now they
appear in one continuous line of forty-five
miles of beautiful trees, which yielded an
abundant crop the last year.
