CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 2f; 1870.
Gen. Sehenk is mentioned in connection
with the English mission should Senator
Morton refuse to accept.
There are rumors of the retirement of Mr.
Akerman from the Attorney Generalship,
and the appointment of Judge Williams of
Pittsburg in his stead.
On Thursday a-week, the efficient Snprin
tendent of the Pennsylvania Lunatic Hos
pital, Dr. John Curwen, was re elected by
the Board of Di-ectors to serve in his pre
sent capacity the ensuing ten years.
Mr. John Quincy Adams, the Progressive
Democratic candidate for Governor of Mas
aachusetts, in his letter of acceptance, advi
ses fidelity to the Constitution. This un
democratic advice will of course be spurned
by the party in Pennsylvania.
- The Postmaster General has ipsued an or
der directing postmasters to deliver pension
letters to the pensioners in person, and not
to claim or other agents, as has heretofore
been done. The reason for thif lies in the
tact that frequent complaints hare been
made by pensioners that their agents who
collected the money often retained the lnrger
part of it as a fee.
A leading Indiana paper, admitting the
election of the Democratic State ticket,
claims that "the balance of power in the
House will be io the hands of Reform Re
publicans, elected mainly by Democratic
votes." That statement is worth consider
ing by those who insist that the Democrats
never "scratch." It is also worthy of reflec
tion on the part of those people who think
Reform Republicans are of no value in poli
tical calculations..
The Democrats, in New York, who are
squealing under the operation of the bill to
prevent illegal voting, are abusiire, in ad
vance, Messrs. Schenck, Morrell, and Cessna
for their announced determination to contest
the free-trade, purchased votes in their
several districts. The constitutional right
to vote when, where, and as often as he
pleases, is one of the things that must not
estly believes that the ballot-box has no
right which he is bound to respect.
For ten years now (says the Chicago Post),
ever since they passed hopelessly into the
minority, Democrats have been variously
counting up their "gains." The boy upon
the curb-stone does not more industriously
count his 'chips' and forecast the day when
he will be a millionaire: the crazy "queen"
in an asylum .does not more assiduously ar
range her ribbons and anticipate that she
will shortly be enthorned than the Demo
cratic party figure up the gains in Skunk
opolis and Swampscot to show that they
will elect the President of the United States
next time, or at some early day thereafter.
Free-tiaders arc tos.-ing theit bats over
the defeat of Gen. Schenck in Ohio, who is
classed as a hieh protectionist. This defeat
is regarded by them as a great victory, an
indorsement on the part of the people oi
free-trade principles. The pecj'.iarcircmn
etances under which Gen. Schenck accepted
the nomination, after having formally with
drawn from it, are well known. At best the
contest was a doubtful one. Knowing this
to be a fact, the free-traders made desperate
efforts to defeat General Schenck. The N.
1". Globe states that a British importing
firm in that city gave ten thousand dollars
toward the object, and a whisky firm is said
to have contributed the same amount, for
the purpose. If there is anything in such a
victory, the free-traders are we!eon;e to it.
The Democracy are very much dissatisfied
with the result of the October elections.
The St. Louis Republican says : "We
frankly acknowledge diappoirtment at the
result, which we expected would be far moreN
favorable. 1 he Cincinnati inquirer says:
"The Republicans have a majority of about
15,000 in Ohio, having made slight gains in
every quarter." The Chicago Times says;
"The nigger element came out in full force,
and in some of the southern districts of Ohio
and Indiana the new-made Radical voting
power enabled the nigger-nursing party to
poll some increased majorities." The Louis
ville Courier-Journal says: "We have not
looked to these elections with much hope.
The Democrats must pick their flints and
try it again. There are some gains s mat
ters stand, and those who are prepared for
the present situation have no need for crying-"
The les says :. The Republicans of Eas
tern Pensylvania did nobly in the late
political contest, Foi nierly the Democratic
majorities came from this section of the
State, but the revolution which began in
1S69 has kept on increasing, until to-day
what but a few years ago was the stronghold
of Pennsylvania Democracy has become de
cisively Republican. Not to speak of the
gl-jrious results in Luzerne and Lehigh, the
changes wrought in Wayne, Monroe, and
other counties in the Eleventh district have
been wonderful. The remarkable growth
of the Republican party in these counties is
especi-lly gratifying. The seat of the great
mining industry, it is an indication that
those engaged indevelopmg our mineral
wealth are being educated up to the advan
tage of protection. They ee its material
benefits, and appreciate the wh-e policy of
the Republican party which dictates it.
f f;e
Republican "Deviltry," Eh ? i
It would appear from the following para
graph in the last irpuhli that the Re
publican party in this Borough committed
a very grave and ponderous offense against
the generout and liberal minded Democrat
ic leaders, by nomiuating a union ticket in
opposition to the regular straight out Dem
ocratic borough ticket:
Tna Aximcs The Radicals in this borough
completely developed their Know-Nothing devil-
' . - r . i i . . 1 ii 1. .1
try CD me muroin ui tui late ciccliuu. i uoj u '
no ticket of their own. and really presented the
election board from organizing, for two hours. o
that their partisan eou Id not vote, tor fear they
would vote the Democratic ticket for borough offi-
r. A laree number ef the Rads were willing to
vote the Democrat! ticket. because the gentlemen
nominated were unexceptionable, except to a tew
of the Radical lenders, who objected to three of
thera, solely because tbey dared to worship iiou
according to the Constitution they were Catho
lics. Hence about II o'clock the Radical ticket
came forth from the Journal ofnee reconstructed
with the names of the three gentlemen in question,
struck off. Their sneak thief dodge was so appa
rent even to a large portion of their own partt
that thr felt a.lmmeii nf their niicers and
Know-Nothiogs, twin relics of national ruin
Skepticism.''
But this is only another specimen of the
rc lie able statements which appear in the
Republican of late. The facts, briefly, are
as follows: 1st, The Republicans had
"ticket ot their own" a union or mixed
ticket and a very gf od one, at that. 2d,
The organization of the election board was
delayed for a short time on account of the
absence of the Republican Inspector, and
the refusal of the second highest candidate
for Judce to serve because he was a candi
date fur Jury Commissioner, and not be
cause the lteDubr.cans were airaia their
friends would vote the Democratic ticket
3d, The "three" names to wh'iL-h reference
is had, two ware changed at the sprciid re
quest of prominent Democrats, and not at
the instance of "Radical leaders. 4th,
The Republican tickets were distributed, at
least over a part of the town, before eight
o'clock, on the morning of the election.
Jinx is the animus ot the Kepublican
part', an "animus" which they had a per
feet right to exercise, a right, which, it is
evident from the above item, the editor of
the Republican would wrest from the mi
nority in this borough, and trample it under
his feet, if he had the power; or else why
misrepresent the facts, and question th
privilege ot the minority to vote for just
such men as they choose ? Consistency is a
jewel, Georg3. You should not ask a priv
ilege which you would deny to others. If
the Republicans did not see fit to vote for
your nominees, they had a perfect right to
nominate others. This is a right granted
them by the "Constitution," and under
our free institutions. ' Whenever you deny
that right, or abridge it, you destroy our
freedom, create an aristocracy, and reduce
the masses of" the people to the condition of
serfs. But more anon.
Lesson op the Elections. The New
ark (New Jersey) Courier says : The Dem
ocrats have boasted loudly that they
would pain at least twenty-five Congressmen
ia Jb.NQJ'Ul.a.wUbjr.t V'.W l!lfwetr,W&us?Tb1
Congress.
Elections have now been held in Maine,
Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa and Nebraska. The result of these
electiuns indicates clearly enough that the
Democrats cannot control any branch of
the National Government during the next
two years. That is settled.
We expected the Democrats to gain con
siderably. It has always so happened in
the second year of the administration of
every Prckidenl. - The opposition gains by
the exertions of disappointed office seekers,
and by unpopularity of some measures.
But so great is the general confidence in the
wise and honest administration of President
Grant, that he is honored by a lull endorse
ment. Indeed the majorities are somewhat
increased from last year. The vote is eve
rywhere light, and there are varied gains
ai:d loses, but the aregate is a decided
gain. We can but remind frien Is auJ op
ponents alike of the invariable ai d magnifi
I cent success of the great National Republi
can Party. Such uninterrupted victory cau
be achieved only on sound practical princi
ples, acceptable and useful to all people.
Southern Demockacy. In the Demo
cratic Congressional nominating convention
of the Third Tennessee district held recent
ly, Col. Combs, a well known Tennesseean,
thus defined hit position : "I am not a
Republican. I am not. a Radical. I am a
rebel, and I am proud of it. Applause.
A Conservative is a man that is on the fence.
I repeat, that I am no R-idicil, no Repub
lican ; I urn no Conservative ; I am a rebel
Democrat 1 Applause. 1 I am not afraid
to say where I stand." The sentiments of
the Colonel are no doubt those of a large
majority of the Democrats of the South.
They were all rebels at heart before
the rebellion, they were rebels in arms du
ring the rebellion, ai,d they are rebels still.
How can the Northern Democracy, with
such an "old man of the sea" astride their
shoulders, and one half of them at least no
better than the incubus they cairy, expect
ever aguin to become the ruling power in a
Union which a majority of them tried in
vain to sever? To imagine the occurrence
of such an event, one must suppose the
people devoid of patriotism, tired cf the
expansion of freedom, and anxious lor a
change of government in form and princi
ple. A supposition not at present to be en
tertained. New Democratic Paper. We have
received the prospectus of a uew Democrat
ic daily to be started in Pittsburgh, on or
about the 1st of November, entitled "The
Roper." It will be a morning paper, folio
in form, in size thirty-one by forty six inch
es. The principal management will be in
the hands of Mr. A. M. Gibson! of the
Uniontown (Fayette county) Genius of Lib
erty, "while its political columns will be
under tht control of a gentleman of great
experience and ability, and nothing but the
soundest Democratic dogmas will find a place
therein ' So at least says the little circular
enclosed with the prospectus.

The result of the elections thus far on
Congressmen shows the delegation to be un
changed in Maine, Vermont, Ohio, Iowa,
Nebraska. Oregon and Mississippi, while
there is a gain of three Democrats iu North
Carolina, four in Pennsylvania, and one in
Indiana a Democratic gain of eight Thus
far the members elected to tbe4:2d Congress
stand 56 Rapublicans and 27 Democrats. A
full House contains 243 members, but tor
everal reasons there are but 233 sitting
members of the present House, of whom
107 are Republicans and 06 Democrats.
There are 160 members to be elected of whom
102 are expected to be Republicans and 5S
Democrat: thus giving for the next House
168 Republicans and 85 Democrats or just

Kepublican majority.
The New York Herald, which is not s
Republican paper, and which predicted be
fore the recent elections great gains for the
Democracy, now says that the following facts
may be regarded as established :
First That the neonle of the United
States, by a heavy majority, accept, endorse
and approve the administration oi uen.
Grant. Second That the Republican par
tyon the platform of this administration
are sure of a decisive maionty in me popu
lar hrancli of the next Congress, whereby,
the Senate being secure, both Houses will
be in accord with the President to the end
of his term. Third That he is good for a
second term acainst all opposition combina
tions and onnosiue candidates.' Fourth
That the Democrats have made no headway
of anv account s'nee 1S6S. Fifth That the
new element of the colored vote is en maxxe
with the Republicans. Sixth That there
is some danger that the Democracy may
lose New York in November.
The sixth point is nut very mildly by the
H-rald, because it knows its party stands
no chance of earning New lork except by
fraud, and that game is at least "scotched"
by the late law of Congress, if not altogeth-.
er blocked. We anticipate a favorable result
in New York.
Amending the State Constitution.
The members of the Union League held
a meetinjr on Tuesday evening, October
ISth, iu the League House on Broad street
Philadelphia, "for the purpose of consider-
iny a proposed application to the Legisla
ture for the call of a convention to amend
the Constitution of Pennsylvania." A se
ries of resolutions, favoring the project were
submitted by Mr. Gibbons, and after some
remarks by Mr. G., Mr. Fraley, Mr. Speak
ruan, Mr. Wistar, J. Price Wetherill, Esq.,
Col. F. A. Jordan, Secretary of the Com
monwealth, and others, the resolutions
were adopted. The last resolution contem
plates the appointment of a committee of
ten, five from the Board of Managers and
five from 'he body of Hie League, for the
purpose ot directing public attention to the
subject, and with authority to confer with
any other committees that may be appoint

The Indiana St-ite. Journal claims that the
Senate of that State will stand twenty-six
Republicans to twenty-three Democrats,
and says the House may be Democratic by
a vote of two or three, not possibly more.
If this is so the great victory claimed by the
Democrats is "no great scratches" after all,
and Senator Morton may conclude to accept
the Embassadorship to England. The Con
gressional lelegation in the next Congress
will stand six Republican to five Democrats
a Democratic gain af one.
In the view of sound military criticism,
General George II. Thomas was at least as
good a soldiar as Robert E. Lee. When
General Tbomas died, the Democratic jour
nals of this country were extremely econo
mical in their enlogiums. Now that General
Lee is dead, these Democratic journals are
excessively extravagant in their eulogiums.
The reason is, Thomas fonghtforhis country,
and Lee did all in his power to subvert our
Constitution and destroy the Union. It is a
fellow-feeling makes those journals so won

Terrible ncRRicAN. The accounts of
the effects of the late hurricane io the Wcat
Indies are of the most appalling character.
The overflowing waters of the two rivers
which flow on either side of Matanias (is
land of Cuha), met in the centre of the
city, causing a fearful destruction of life and
property. Out of a population of forty
thousand more than two thousand are said
to have porished. Great damage has also
been done at Cardenas, Jlatamoras and
Guinea. The hurricane extended across
the Gulf as far as Florida, and from Key
West we learn that all the lower parts of
the city arc flooded, and that all communi
cation with the upper part it carried on by
means of boats. The various lines of steam
ers have been delayed, the crops seriously
injured, and much anxiety is felt as to the
fate of numerous vessels at sea. The loss
of the steamer Dari? n and several coasting
vessels is already announced. No such hur
ricane kas been known tor years. It far
exceeded that which devastated the Island
of St. Thomas a few years ago. It is to be
hoped that further details will prove the
accounts already received to be exaggerated,
but in any case they must be sufficiently
serious.
The War News. Nothing of special
important has occurted for a few days in
front of Paris. The Prussians are extreme
ly rigid in their refusal to permit even the
ministers of neutral governments who are
now in Paris to communicate with their
jrovcrnments except in open communica
tions. This seems a great impropriety, but
is not, perhaps of enough consequence to
require a protest. Nothing even is com
municated relative to peace negotiations,
and probably little headway has been made.
The lull in news, however, may be but the
prelude to a mass of stirring events which
will afford a full supply of news of a suffi
cicntly startling character.
A Shocking Duel' with Knives.
About sundown on Friday evening two

a difficulty that had arisen between them,

across the caual locks, where having doffed
their coat, they fought according to the
rules in force in Western Texas previous to
the war. After a prolonged conflict, during
which both were cut and slashed to an ex
tent that satisfied their friends, they were
separated and carried to surgeons to have
their wounds dressed. Neither, of them
was mortally hurt.
