. The New Orleans Deutchcr Zeitung, a
Democratic paper, has come out in support
of the Republican party. Another evidence
of the fact that Germans everywhere are
severing their connection with the Democ
racy. When Gen. Grant became "President, the
greenback dollar was worth Rerenty-five
cents, but it is now worth eighty-tight and
a half cents, mating the -entire volume of
our currency worth nearly $100,000,000
more in the pockets o? the people.
It is a fact worthy of note, that all the
fall elections held thus far have resulted in
largely increased Republican victories. For
"a used up institution," the Republicans
seem to get on quite comfortably yet
somehow having considerable life in its old
frame, .
Democracy in Maryland is becoming ap
prehensive of defeat, and admits that suc
cess in some of the Congressional districts
is only to be had by energetic work. After
this citadel of the Nasbyites succumb to the
newly-enfranchised citizens, Kentucky will
also fall. 'L.
Iciiiuci at a co- rri war a""Hins are dead
issues. : What do the soldiers think ? Un
til the Democratic party can change timber
legs to limbs of flesh and blood, fill .vacant
chairs in thousands of. homes, and obliter
ate gravestones from a thousand cemeteries,
it will continue to be judged bf the past as
well as the present.
The spirit of economy inculcated by Con
gress at its last session has had some influ
ence in the Congressional Printer. A series
of maps published from the Government
Printing office for the use of members of
Congress, by contrart made with the Con
gressional Printer during Andy Johnson's
administration, cost the government $13,
OtH. The same work has just been comple
ted, under a contract made with Colonel
Clapp, for the sum of $3,000.
Little Delaware is invited by her rebel
Democratic leaders to engage in a rebellion.
In their addresses, these gentlemen ask the
people of that State to rally and crush out
the political equality of the negro. The
one hundred and seventy-five thousand new
voters under the fifteenth amendment are
to be crushed und'ir the weight of the ten
thousand ballots of Delaware. The retrac
tive Bourbons of Delaware are becoming
farcical iu tholr devotion to the white mau's
party.
The Hon. John D. Stiles, Democratic
member of Congress from the Allentown
District of Pennsylvania, passes his vaca
tion either in doing good turns for his neigh
bors or transacting a little business of his
own account ; we can't tell which. He
makes use of the franking privilege to in
struct mankind in the merits of a new pat
ent stove grate, warranted to last twice as
long as any other.Jand not to get clogged.
Mr. Stiles is probably opposed, on grounds
of public policy, to a repeal of the franking
privilege.
Democratic fitness for managing the fi
nances of the country is well exemplified in
New York city. There, from a population
of 800,000, they collect a tax of $23,000,
000, about $25 a piece for every man, wo
man and child. There arc in this country
40,000,000 people, and at $25 a head, we
would have the nice little sum of $1,000,
OOO.OiX) annually of taxes. What assurance,
pray, have we, that Democrats would be
more economical with the United States
Government than with Ntw York city.
Give them an equally safe hold upon each,
and they will treat both alike. Or are Dem
ocrats in New York ef the Hoffman, Cox,
Brooks, Hall, Sweeney kind, worse than all
Others?
The Cincinnati Enquirer is very high
Democratic authority, and it declares that
if the party gets into power it will carry out
these things: Refuse to pay the Govern
ment debt in gold ; tax the securities the
Government has given for the money it
owes the people ; repeal a part of the re
construction acts ; restore every rebel and
traitor to citizenship, without qualification
or conditions ; forbid Chinese to emigrate
here ; and do a great many other things of
the same kind. It docs not actually say
that the party will restore slavery, or reduce
colored men again into bondage, but leaves
that to bo inferred. The people, however,
will take good care not to place them in
power, and tbfts thwart their nefarious
bchcuios.
Bepnblican Meeting.
Pursuant to the call of the County Com
mittee, a large number of Republicans from
all parts of the county, met in the Court
House on Wednesday evening, September
28th, 1870. The meeting was called to or
der by T. II. Murray, Esq., the chairman
of the committee, who announced the fol
lowing persona as officers :
President, Jonatnan Boynton, Esq.
Vice Presidents, Arthur Bell, Samuel
Hegarty, Andrew Pentz. Sr., II. W.
Brown, E. W. MtGarvey, Thos. W. Moore,
Wm. Albert, Capt. D. F. Copelin, David
Cathcart, John Welch, Claudius Girard,
John A. Beyers, John Thomson, John
Blair, David Dressier, A. L. Hoover, Geo.
B. Smith, Ellis Irwin, John .W. Wright,
John S. Iladebach.
Secretaries, John M, Adams, Ed. Liv
ingston, S. J. How.
Mr. Murray then stated the object of the
meeting, after which he introduced the Hon.
Samuel Linn, of Williamsport, who was
received with great applause. Judge Linn,
attef' referring in complimentary terms to
the pleasure it afforded him to again meet
and address the people of Clearfield county,
proceeded to argue at length the impor
tance of active and earnest work in the Re
publican ranks that the spirit of rebellion
in the South, which prodnced the rebellion,
is not yet dead, and that the success of our
opponents would vitalize the subdued ener
gies of the confederacy and aeain endanger
all the peace and prosperity of our country.
He urged the election of Hon. G. W. Sco
GelJ, the tried and true friend of the peo
ple, as an important duty. After Mr. Linn
closed
H. B. Swoope, Esq., was loudly called
for, and addressed his fellow citizens in his
usual happy and impressive manner. He
thought the National debt small as compa
red with the resources of our country, and
that under the financial system of the Re
publican party it would fairly and honestly
be paid without distressing the people, ne
eloquently defended the system of a Protec
tive Tariff as against the Free Trade doc
trines of the Democratic party. The one
was designed to encourage and protect the
labor of our own country the other would
discourage and break down our inanuf aq
tures by exposing their trades to the com
Ietition of the proper wages of every other
nation.
Hon. J. B. McEnally was next called,
but not being present
T. II. Murray, Esq., being called upon,
then addressed the meetiug, by briefly re-'
viewing the record of the two parties since
1S00. He argued that the present peaceful
and prosperous condition of our country it
owing to the suecesa of the principles of
the Republican party. This claim we pre
sent in this campaign against the claims of
a party with nothing in its late history to
entit'c it to confidence, and against the
charges of a party which are proven to be
false by its own record.
The meeting now adjourned (2?.
"Tmt Philosopher." A blf crasv fallow cam
ed ''old Dr. Chase," has announced himself as a
rolunteer candidate for Sheriff. He is no doubt,
in great measure, the instrument of some of the
old Kuow-Nothing hirs who are too cowardly, or
politic to buldlj itow their old heresy about
American? and Foreigners, hence he is set in the
foreground to resurrect the native and "alien" el
ement. His votes will be about equal to his sense
on election day. Kepitbltran, Sept. 28th.
The above paragraph, save that Mr. C.
pretends to be a "candidate for Sheriff, is
untrue in every rerpect. Democrats only
have urged him to come out, a Democrat
wrote his advertisement, and his hand
bills were printed in the Republican office.
"Know-Nothing hags," Eh ? Besides :
If the individual referred to is "half crazy,"
the Democrats who urged him to announce
himself as a candidate for Sheriff, have, in
our opinion, shown themselves to be pos
sessed of but little, if any, better common
sense than is attributed to him, for no hon
orable, high minded man v. !!1 deal frivol
ously with the misforturusof a fellow being.
Biris ok a Feather. The Democracy
of this county, it seems, are "loil" to their
instincts. We are told, that Mr. George
Brisbin, the President of thoir meeting on
Tuesday evening of Court week, was a sol
dier in the rebel army, during our late "un
pleasantness." Well, the Republican par
ty having a host of soldier friends in their
ranks, why should not the Democracy have
at least one in their ranks?
A Republican may well be proud of his
party, when he contemplates the present
condition of his country, and the wonderful
results which have sprang out ot the wis
dom, tact, economy and energy of President
Grant's administration. The national credit
stands higher to day, notwithstanding the
large national dt-bt brought on by a wicked
and exhausting war. than it has at any for
mer period within the ten years last passed.
The Democrats in the last Congress, by
a strict party vote, voted against the reduc
tion of the tariff on tea, coffee, sugar, mo
lasses, spices and medicines. Yet they
have the audacity to complain to the people
that the necessaries of life are taxed. They
voted against keeping the present tax on
whisky. Question in Democratic estima
tion, is whisky a necessity, and are tea, cof
fee and sugar, luxuries ?
Rally ! Freemen, Rally to the polls ! The
best interests of the country demand this
at your hands. Although the rebellion has
been crushed, yet the spirit that actuated it
is still alive and ready to burst forth again
should opportunity offer. The only safety
is in continuing the Republican party in
power.
A failure to cast a full Republican vote
iu this county, will be misinterpreted as a
want of confidence in the present national
administration. Then, go to the polls on
Tuesday next and deposit your ballot for
the whole ticket. They are all good and
true men !
Remember! next Tuesday is the election
Go to the polls and cast your ballot for Hon:
Glenni W. Scofield, the people's candidate
for Congress, and for the whole Republican
ticket s

What is Doing.
Joust Avx Actbes, Near Mrrz, if
Camp, September 24. Since the fearful
battle of the 18th of August the Prussian
army has been hard at work. The activity
and determined bravery of the French
soldiers has kept the besieging forces con
stantly employed. Vigilence is proved to
be necessary. Repeated sorties and resolute
attempts have been made by Bazaine to
break the bonds in which he is held. Not
withstanding the attempts to treat for capi
tulation, there has never been a moment
when the beleaguered General was not pre
pared to avail himself of any symptom of
neglect or weakness on the part of the eueroy.
At noon on the 23d, under cover of the guns
of the fort, the French sailed forth in con
siderable strength against the Prussian right.
A vigorous attack and defense were made,
the Prussians taking advantage of the woods.
The battle raged from midday until seven
o'clock, when the Germans meeting support,
assumed the offensive and drove the enemy
within their lines. .: '
On the 24:h a still more desperate attack
was attempted. The French advanced
large bodies of infantry, supported by artil
lery and cavalry, and covered by the cannon
of the fort, -which opened the fire. The
French attacked vigorously the left of the
Prussian line, a little 'to' the east of the
Thionvillc road. Regiment after regiment
fell in a solid line on the defenses of the
Prussians, who stood like iron. Once the
French gained a temporary advantage, carry
ing an out work of the Prussian lines, and
turning the flank of another position, but
were shortly driven back, gallantly contes
ting every foot of ground. At length they
were again forced to retire under the forts.
The thrilling display of stubborn determina
tion on both sides was never excelled.
Details of the result are yet unknown.
The Times has the following special : On
Tuesday last, the 27th. the French made an
other sortie from Metx. The forces consis
ted of cavalry and artillery, and were pro
tected by the guns of Forts Quentin and
Botter. ' The French advanced to Aisle
Queux, where the Prussians were encamped;
Another severe encounter ensued, which
resulted in the defe at of the French, though
they carried off their wounded, dead, and
all the Prussian prisoners captured. The
village was burned by shells.
The affair of Le Bourges was very serious
and dramatic. Sheltered behiud a house,
the Prussians had run up a redoubt of bricks.
A nights attack took place at this point,
and the electric light apparatus, Marshal
Bazaine's system, did capital service.- A
battalion of Breton Mobiles and National
Guard advanced upon the enemy, whose
eyes were dazzled by the light, while the
French forces were in the shade. The can
non from tho fort fired upon the house
which protected tie redoubt, and the Prus
sians, surprised and thrown into confusion
by the unexpected manccrer, were routed,
and left five hundred prisoners iu the hands
of the Mobiles.
The Tribune special at Carlsruhe tele
graphs on the 28th : At eight this morning
the gates of Strasburg were occupied by the
German troops. It was reported that the
inhabitants, driven to desperation, succeed
ed yesrday evening in hoisting the white
flag on the Cathedral, but Ulrich ordered it
removed. The surrender was afterwards
compelled by the presence of the citizens iu
the garrison. There is great rejoicing here
over the victory; salutes are firing and
bells ringing. The French garrison have
been removed to Rastadt in Berlin as priso
ners of war. The Prussians have al
ready occupied the town. The citadel and
bridge to Kehl have been restored. At nine
o'clock the Mayor and municipal authorities
proceeded to Mundelsheim.
Clermont has been captured by the Ger
man forces. Three hundred Mobiles, assis
ted by the citizens, successfully resisted the
first attack ot the enemy. After their re
pulse, the Prussians, having received rein
forcements and artillery, returned to the
attack and captured the place.
The Prussians have surrounded Soissons.
Shot and shell have been ' exchanged since
Saturday. Tho suburbs have been destroy
ed by artillery fire.
Reitblican Economy. A littl circum
stance shows conclusively that far greater
economy is practiced by officials at Wash
ingUm under. the administration of President
Grant, in small things as well as great,
than was the case under Johnson's adminis
tration. A series of maps published, from
the Government Printing Office for the use
of members ot Congress, by contract made
with the Congressional Printer during the
Johnson administration, cost the govern
ment $13,000. The same work has just
been completed, under a contract made with
Colonel Clapp, for the sum of $3,000.
Here are $10,000 saved on one small con
tract. Death of William F. Packer, Ex -Governor
Packer died on Wednesday at his
residence, at Williamsport, aged sixty-tour
years. Hon. William F. Packer was chosen
Governor of Pennsylvania at the October
election in 1857, over David Wilniot, Repub
lican, and Isaac Ilazelhurst, American.
He served as Governor from January,1861,
when he was succeeded by Governor L'urtin.
Trior to his election as Governor, he had
been State Senator from the Lycoming
District, and had been a printer and editor.
He was a gentleman ot pleasing address and
manners, and a fine specimen of the vigor
ous manhood of the interior of Pennsylvania.
A great many journals continue to quote
the supposed declaration of King Willam
that he made war upon Napoleon and not
upon the French people, and to ask why,
having captured the Emperor, he does not
therefore stop the fighting and go home.
The Tribune has already mentioned that
the King never made the remark attributed
to him. It was an error of the Cable, by
which we ourselves, in common with other
papers, were at first deceived. Mail advices
showed that what his Majesty really said
was that Prussia made war upon the French
armies, and not upon, peaceable citizens and
peasantry.

the Clarion Democrat, a wild eat entered
the house of Mr. Elliot Walters, who re
sides at Wilson's Mill, on Toby Creek, in
Knox township, about seven miles north of
Clarion, and took a young child from the
cradle, and was about to commence devour
ing it, when it was f righteued away. The
parents had gone out to gather in potatoes
from a lot and left tho babe wrapped up,
rleeping in its cradle. 'A little girl was sent
in after they had been absent a short time,
to see about the child, and when she opened
the door was horrified to see a large wild
cat, with the infant, behind the stove. The
little babe was crying piteously, and in a
short time would doubtless have been killed
and devoured by tbe savage beast. On the
alarm being given, the wild cat escaped thro'
