CLEARFIELD, PA., J UXE 29, 1870.
The U. S. Senate, on Friday. June 24th,
confirmed the nomination of Amos P. Ack
erman to be Attorney General of the United
States, in place of K. II. Hour, resigned.
If those terrible Fenians don't be careful

All the Republican State Conventions
held since the innuguration of President
Grant haye endorsed his administration,
the best possible evidence that the country
approves his policy.
In Maine the fight between tli3 two par
tics has always hitherto been to secure the
vote of the temperance .people. This year
the Republicans by nominating an earnest
temperance leader have effuctnally flanked
tbeir opponents.
Our Democratic contemporaries have been
agitating themselves considerably concern
ing the colored cadet? at West Point. They
have not yet forgiven the colored people for
helping to crush the rebellion, and cannot
endure the tliougbt of permitting colored
officers to fight for us in any future war.
- THEpeopleof Pennsylvania will be highly
gratified 'o learn of the improved condition
of the health of Hon. Andrew G. Curtin""
LTnited States minister to Russia. Our
great War Governor continues to be the
recipient of the most distinguished honors
.from the Emperor and the court at St.
Petersburg.
There has been no rain in southern Wis
consin and northern Illinois since t'ae 1st of
April. In that section it is stated that the
wheat and corn crops will be almost a total
failure, and that the grass crop is hardly
worth cutting. Parts of Michigan, Indiana,
Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska are fcitnilary
afflicted. .
The London Economist speaks of the
'sober energy and honesty of General G rant;'
his "fidelity,' perseverance,-shrewd good
aense and strict adhesion to the law ;" his
''fortitude, sagacity and immovable sense."
"These are true words, and reflect the best
judgment of competent critics upon bis ad
ministrat ion.
Our neighbor of the Republican asserts
that Attorney-General Ackerman, and
Postmaster-General Cresswell "were both
loud mouthed secessionists at the com
mencement of the war." Well, if they
were, they faw their folly and forsook their
rebel views, which is more than we would
like to affirm for our neighbor.
The Cincinnati Commercial, a radical
Democrat' paper, says its party "is dying
of vice and fraud ; of folly and knavery ; of
cowardi je and ignorance ; of the displace
ment of its true and great souls by the soul
less scoundrels who control the organiza
tion." The truth of at least a portiou of
thia we think will be acknowledged by many
Democrats in this State.
Every now and then, says the, New York
Herald, the administration writes in letters
of gold an additional reason why it should
continue iu office. One of the last reads
thus : "Receipts from internal revenue lur
ing the year ending April .30, 1S70, $180,
00,9S4." Coming events cast their shad
ows before them ; and the Herald wants to
be on the winning tide.
Another reproof for little Delaware. The
Spanish people have an unenviable reputa
tion for cruelty, bat even they appear to be
touched by the humanizing spirit of the
nineteenth century, and the Cortes of that
country adopted a resolution on Wednesday
to abolish punishment by the lash. Dela
ware is completely surrounded now, and will
toon be obliged to surrender.
The Democratic Senators occupied nearly
the entire session of Saturday in what it is to
be hoped will be a futile attempt to prevent
the passage of a bill designed to prevent frau
dulent naturalization. This bill has been
shorn of some of its best features, and is not
what it should be, but the very fact of it
being so bitterly opposed by the ballot-box-stuffing
Democracy should imuri its pas
sage. 1 lie Uradtonl Reporter says : tv e see it
stated that the political campaign in Min
nesota last year, in which the Good Tem
plars ran a separate ticket on the prohibi
tion platform, proved disastrous to that order
Its namber of members bn since been re
duced from 10,000 to 3,000, and its pecu
niary loss has been very great. We have
not the least doubt but that a similar result
will follow, in any State or county where the
Good Templars allow themselves to commit
such a great mistake."
The Democracy of Vermont are possessed
of indomitable pluck. They have notcain
ed a State election within the memory of
roan, and their local success is meagre; but
still, year after year, like good soldiers, they
make their nominations, marshal their forces
and fight over and over again, without the
least apparent diminution of spirit, the bat
tles they know they must lose. We cannot
refrain from admiring such heroic courage,
such unselfish devotion to a lost cause. They
cannot achive victory, but they can and do
command respect.
XUftsman's
The Eefuge of Eebels.
With a large class of rebels who were re
cently in arms against the country, unblush
ing falsehood and persistent lying are prac
ticed as if among the cardinal virtues.
What is particularly notioeable is the fact
that they are f ure to find refuge and en
dorsement in the party which sympathised
with them during their attempt to destroy
the government. A short time ago a letter
appeared from a perjured traitor who de
serted the United States array after having
'oeen educated at West Point, and swearing
faithfulness and allegiance, whose name
figures as J. Bankhead Magruder. In that
letter he stated that President Lincoln was
aware that he (the traitor) intended to go
into the rebel service, and that he (the said
traitor) being on the most friendly terms
with Mr. Lincoln, had told him of his in
tention, and that the President made no
objection to his going, but bade him a
kindly and affectionate farewell. Of course
this was a rebel lie, and was made up to in
jure the memory of the distinguished and
beloved Lincoln.
The same Magruder took occasion to
charge Hon. Simon Cameron with falsehood
for making a truthful statement on the
floor of the United States Senate. Of
course no sensible loyal ps per credited the
rebel's story, but the papers which sympa
thised with treason eagerly reproduced the
traitor's letter assuming that General Cam
eron was the liar, and their rebel pet the
pink of honor, frankuess and truth, having
always credited the stories of traitors in
preference to loyal men. Now, however,
we have a letter from Major General Stur
gis, a true and loyal officer of the army,
who was in Washington when Magruder
deserted to the traitor's army. General
Sturgis was familliar with all the circum
stances attending the desertion, and he now
comes forward in a card in which he relates
the substance of conversation between him
self and Mr. Lincoln concerning this man
Magruder. According to General Sturgis,
Mr. Lincoln said :
"Magftider came to see mo the very eve
ning before he left, and voluntarily said,-
while expressing his abhorence of secession,
"Sir, 1 was brought up and educated under
the glorious old fla. ; I have lived under it
and have fought under it, and, sir, with the
help of God, 1 shall hunt under it again
and, if need be, shall die under it!" The
very next day," the President continued.
"Magruder abandoned us ! So that at the
very moment he was making to me these
protestations of loyalty and devotion, he
must have had his mind fully made up to
leave. And it seemed the more wanton
and cruel in him, because he knew that I
had implicit confidence In his integrity.
The fact is, when I learned that he had
gone over to the enemy, and I had been so
completely deceived in him, my confidence
was shaken in everybody, and I hardly
knew whom to trust anymore."
Against the character of Gen. Sturgis
there is not a whisper of suspicion. He
kept his oath ami fought for his country.
His statement is believed by all who are not
themselves in sympathy with the cause for
which Magruder deserted the army. It is
a noticeable fact, however, that the papers
which were so leady to parade the traitor's
letter before the public are silent over this
contradiction by a true and loyal soldier.
Magruder's conduct solies one of the many
problems as to how the rebels came into
possession of all the acts of the President at
the beginning of the war. This miserable
drunken traitor remained as a jpy while
pretending loyalty to the old flag, so that he
could the letter aid the rebels.
The "WTuttemore Oase Decided.
In the House, on Tuesday, June 21st,
Whittcmore's case came up by special as
signment when the following proceedincs
took place:
Mr. Logan offered a resolution reciting
the action of the Committee on Military
Affairs, and of the House in reporting and
adopting a resolution declaring Mr. Wliitte
more, by hia conduct in selling military and
naval cadetships, unworthy cf a seat iu the
House of Representatives.
Also, reciting his re election and the pre
sentation of his credentials, and resolving
that the House of Representatives decline
to allow said B. F. Whittemorc to be sworn
as a Representative in the Forty-first Con
gress, and direct that his credentials be re
turned to him.
Mr. Logan proceeded to adress the House
in support of-the resolution, and quoted
the statute which rendered Whitteraore lia
ble to be tried criminally for the offense,
and tn conviction to be rendered infamous
and incapable of holding any place of trust
or profit under the United States.
After considerable discssion, in which
Gen. Logan, Mr. Eldridge, Mr. Farnsworth,
Mr. Poland and others took part, Gen. Lo
gan called the previous question on his res
olution to return Whittemore's credentials
and exclude him from a seat. The call was
sustained, and the resolution adopted by a
vote of 124 ayes to 20 nays. A dispatch
says, among thos who voted in the neeative
were Brooks, of Massachusetts, B. F. Butler
Cessna, Ela, Farnsworth, Hood, Jenckes,
Kelley, Morrill, Poland, Sawyer and Taft.
No CArs for I'espoxdenct. The
Philadelphia Press says the signs of the
times were never more favorable for tho suc
cess of the Republicanjparty than now.
More than a year of President Grant's Ad
ministration has expired, and its policy has
been fully unfolded to the country. Its hon
esty, its economy, its steady diminution of
the debt, commend it to the favor of all the
people. The firmness with which the reins
of Government have been held indicates a
vigor unsurpassed by any previous adminis
tration. "Hold on neighbor. The Republican pirty
dare not condemn him, (Whittemore,) again."

Ha! ha!! ha Ml That's the time you
missed your guess, George. The Republi

The undersigned being a committee ap

persons interested in the business of buying
and selling square timber, held at Lock Ha
ven, April 4th, 1870, of which A. -K.
Wright, was Chairman, and E. A. Irvin.
Seo'y., report the following preamble and
resolutions :
Wberkas, The building of the Boom at this
point, and the occupation or the lianas by tbe
Los-ginc interests, have greatly decreased the fa
cilities for holding Square Timber, so much so
that we are in constant peril of our timber break-
in loose, and
Wrerbas we believe that it is not possible to
so secure timber here as to render it safe, owing
to the limited shore and rapid current, and
Whereas it causes much expense and detention
in passing rafts through the schute, often detain
ing onr men here for days, and
WnKBCAS the citixens of Leek Haven manifest
no disposition to assist us in this emergency, but
are continually encroaching upon the lew facili
ties we hare heretofore enjoyed, and eren object
ing te our holding to the Bridge as a last resort,
therefore be it
Resolted, That all contracts made in the fu
ture for the delivery of timber, shall require said
delivery to be wiade at Linden or Williamsport,
instead of Lock Haven,,
Resolved, That Jno. F. Weaver, Moses Cham
berlin P. Billmeyer, Jas. B. Graham, and A
Irvin, be appointed a committee to confer with
the citis?ns of Williamsport and Wayne Station
known as Quigley's landing, and make such ar
rangements as may be necessary for Hotel facili,
ties, measuring, and preparing the shore for the
tying or rafts.
Resolved, That tbe above preamble and reso

The above proceedings are of a meeting
held April 4, litO, and have been withheld

for the purpose of giving the citizens of
Lock Haven an opportunity to make some
arrargement to add to our facilities and
make the landing more secure, and thus re

larn they have not succeeded in accomplish
ing anything that will promote our safety, or
be ot any advantage to the son are timber in
terest. On the contrary, their continued
encroachments with saw logs make it haz
ardous for landing rafts, and was the cause
of the great break loose that carried over the
Dam from 70 to 75 rafts of timber, entailing
a loss of from $20,000 to $30,000 on those
having timber laying in the Dam. Feeling
that t lie citizens or Lock Haven are ludil
ferent to our sufferinsr and the inconveni
ence they have subjected up to, and do not
appreciate the advantage of the trade, we
therefore feel it a duty we owe to ourselves
to proceed at once to make arrangements
for a removal, and have named an early day
rr tiu; meeting of the Committee at the
Herdic House at Williamsport, to examine
the shore at that point; also at Quigley's
landing, ana mate 'he necessary arrange

The Democratic party, like that Scriptural
conservative hphraim, is hopelessly joined
toitsidola. An isolated fragment occasion
ally shows signs of accepting as veritable
facts the events of the last decade, but the
mass of the party still adheres to tin tradi
tions which cluster around the historic "Con
federit X Rodes." At the convention of
the Mercer county, Ohio, Democrats, held
on the 11th inst, the following platform was
unanimously adopted :
That the so-called war debt is a fraud and
a swindle, and was created under false pre
tences and in violation of the Constitution :
we are therefore, uncompromisingly in favor
oi repnaiaiinn iie whole of the vomica tear
debt of the United States.
That we are unalterably oppos rd to negro
citizenship and negro suffrage : that the fir-
teenth amendment to the Constitution of
the Lnited fttates was forced upon the peo
ple by trickery and fraud and against their
well known wishes, and is therefore illegal,
void, and of no binding force whatever.
We recommend the above to the Democ
racy generally.
An Unexpected Sprinkling. The
West Chester Republican of yesterday says:
On the return of the excursion party over
he Wilmington and Reading railroad, on
ednesday last, an incident occurred when
a few miles above Downingtown, which not
withstanding its disagreeable results. trve
rise to considerable merriment. The train
had stopped at a tank to supply the engine
with water. The company had failed for
want of time, to place hose on the snout or
trough of the reservior, to insert in the tank-l
or the engine, and a portable tin spout was
used instead. As the train started, by some
inexplicable means, the gate of the water
tank became displacad, thus permitting the
water to escape. The Ktream emitted was
soinc four inches in diameter, and struck
near the bottom of the windows of the car,
which were all open at the time. The seats
were filled with occupants, and the effect of
such a volume of water suddently pouring
into one s lap may better be imagined than
described. W e can only say that the sud
den scrambling it produced was wonderful
to behold. Tbe entire train was thus im
mersedthe scats being saturated and the
floors flooded. Although everything was
suddenly rendered exceedingly disagreeable,
the whole party took the affair good natured
ly, and set it down as the practical joke of
the occasion.
The new shops of the Pennsylvania rail
road, now in course of construction at Altoo
na, it is stated cover an area of twenty acres,
and comprise an iron machine shop a plan
ing mill, a blacksmith shop, cabinet work
shop, and a three quarter, round brick build
ing, for the repair of freight ears, eitrhtv of
which can be rebuilt at the same time. The
capacity of the new shops is four times that
of the old, and the buildings can be enlarged
when required. These improvements were
commenced last summer, and will be com
pleted in the spring of 1871.
