CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 23, 1870.
There are now io the army 2,438 cornmis
aiooed officers, and 34,870 enlisted men.
A large needle factory is about to be estab
lished in Newark. N. J., which will turn out
400,000 self thread! nc needles per day.
Oar Democratic exchanges, always pro
phetic, are already computing the strength
of their party ia the next electoral college.
As is usial before every presidential elec
tion, they are sanguine of electing their can
didate. The laws of Pennsylvania, passed by the
Legislature last winter, make a book of fif
teen hundred pages. ' The public laws do
not, probably, wake over two hundred pages.
With the constitution properly revised, the
business of manufacturing private laws will
be very nearly ended.
The Chicago Tribune which has been one
of those baneful papers, which while calling
themselves Republicans, abuse the adminis
tration and seizs upon every bolt or split io
the party and advocate it with avidity, has
now com 9 squarely out as the organ of the
free-trade Democracy.
The least known part of this country is,
perhaps, North Alabama, where, for a dis
tance of two hundred miles, there are such
inexhaustible stores of iron ore that it will
not cost $2 a ton, whilo in Olio and Penn
sylvania it costs at the furnaces from $9 to
$12 a ton. The coal is inexhaustible in the
same vicinity. This great mineral wealth
must ultimately make the Etyton region an
unrivalled manufuciuriug district.
The New York World naively says that
'the merchants, shopkeepers, skilled me
chanics, and industrious laborers," express
ed by their votes at the late election their
satisfaction with the municipal government
of New York. Where, in heaveu's name,
were the dead rabbits, thieves, repeaters.
and villains generally? The general belief
is that tbey are hotter satUSati than are hon
est people.
At no period of the Government has any
party been so strong as the Republican par
ty. Gentlemen in Congress who propose to
indulge in the luxury of separate organiza
tions on the poor bald idea of Revenue Re
form, and gentlemen in the States who have
an ambition to set up their oivn wi'ls to de
feat esiential legislation, will sava a good
deal of trouble if they read the sign across
the political track, "Take care of the luco
motive."
There is said to bo a general concerted
movement on the part of the Assistant Cen
sus Marshals, to secure at the bands ot Con
gress, increased compensation for their ser
vices in taking the census. They allege that
tbo pay is entirely inadequate t'd the service
performed, and will ask for an increase of
one hundred per cent. Many of them claim
to have made but one dollar per day; while
others, in paying for clerk hire, eta, actually
lost their own labor.
The Western Democracy are losing faith
in the "Pendleton Greenback" pjltcy. and
we may confidently hope that the question
will notagain trouble a national political cam
paign. The honest financial policy of Pres
ident Grant's administration has so brought
down the premium on gold and brought near
the day of specie payments, that the shrewd
Democrats perceive that their plan will no
longer please the people, and they sibandoo
it. For this good work let General Grant
have the credit.
The New York World says: "Even in
the flush ot victory we are saddened by the
thought that New York is still a Democratic
Goshen in an outlaying Egypt of Black Re
publican ascendency." The pro-science of
the World is wonderful. It sees io the re
cent result of the election nothing but the
defeat of the Democracy in the Presidential
contest in 1872. And, would it not be well
for tome of the lesser Hghta to imitate tbe
humility of the World and put on sack
cloth aad ashes io advance of the inevitable
catastrophe ?
The Philadelphia Pre says : At last we
have by mail trustworthy accounts of the
recent riot at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. L ke
all the riots at the South in which the tele
graph represents the negroes as the aggres
sors, it turns out that the rebel Democracy
were alone responsible for its origin. It ap
pears to hare been part of a regularly plan
ned attempt on their part to get control of
tbe ballot-boxes. Failing in this, they turn
ed upon the defenceless negroes and rhot
them down wherever they could be found on
the streets. They continued this pastin e
until interrupted by the United States troop?,
and then ceased their bloody work only on
compulsion.
The Bedford Inquirer says : "Notic

Cessna, on Monday, the 14:h iast. Many
persons have supposed that a contest wou

Mr.

that he will make thorough work of it now

rather brief duration. That portentious

Payment Better Than Debt.
Our national debt has been reduced $183,
673,905 within a period of little more than
a year and a half. Every succf8ive month
carries the work on further. Financial wri
ters scold at the policy, but Gen. Grant.un
deterred by their pretentious airs and unwar
ranted assumptions, keeps on in this safe
line he took up so promptly on his accession
to office. The weight of iuterot has been
reduced largely, and ac thosame titno eighty
millions of dollars of taxes have been abol
ished. Parties in the interest of the bond
speculators and other financial prowlers can
not bear this policy. It alords no chance
for a foray upon the national treasury. Hence
the howl is kept up against tha policy of
debt reduction as bcin opposed to the wel
fare of the people. It does not suit the
views of this class of writers to let their
readers pay too much attention to the heavy
reduction of taxes an 1 interest at the same
time. By clamoring for nore cutting down
of taxes they hope to obscure what has been
done, and at the same time arrest the baying
up and extinguishment of the bonded debt.
That the people see through this tri'.k has
been rendered obvious by the results of the
genera elections, which have sustained the
administration and tha policy of President
Grant. The next Congress will again be
largely Republican, and when the final tug
shall come in 2872. the people will not be
very likely to condemn a President for pay
ing off so Jargrt a portion of the great war
debt, reducing so much of their taxation,
and standing so firmly by domestic tnatiiifue
lures. It was long charged against the
friends of protection that fuey fostered the
war debt and prevented its reduction, in or
dr thereby to reu Jer tha necessity for a
heavy tariff the greater. But here is a pro
tectionist administration. that rjsoiuto'y re
duces the debt, whilo the free traders all
protest against it, and seek to render the
debt permanent, and to fasten upon us. lor
generations to come, the huge load of inter
est. By artful appeals to the selfish instincts
of the people, they have engendered a feel
ing of opposition to all taxes that not only
renders thou-ands indisposed to pay theiu,
but leads to immense frauds upon the reve
nues. At no former period in our history
has this been so prevalent, and it is attribu
taHe to the tremendous outcry against tax
es that were rendered inevitable by the ne
cessities of the war; and so high has this
feeling run that alu.ost any way of evading
payment is deemed justifiable. This is to
tally unworthy of "a government of the
people, for the people and by the people."

Another War Imminent.
During the past week, it was announaed
that Rus.sia had given notice of her inten
tion to abrogate tha tieaty of J 856. under
whi.:U she is prevented from maintaining a
flee; in tha Black Sea that the Emperor
has no desire but peace, and wishes to hare
tbe restriction removed onlv because it is
humiliating to Russia and that be is wil
ling to accord to Turkey the same privileges
be claims.
There are facts which favor both tbe peace
ful and the war-like view. The country ly
ing along the shores ot the Black Sea is the
great grain producing section of Europe.and
the freedom of the Biack Sea would greatly
stimulate trade. Russia also claims to desire
to protect her portion of this territory with
greatly needed defences. These are tlio
peaceful considerations. On tl'e other hand,
itu.t-imi policy has long looked toward Con
stantinople. In the past her policy has been
peculiarly tortuous, and every point gained
has been made subservient to one grand pur
pose. Thus the fear is entertained that this
is but a step toward the end for wlreli site
has been struggling. The Turks are not a
maratima peoj le. and hence the concession
to them of equal privileges with Russia in
the Black Sea h not of much value.
The avowal on the part of Russia to abro
gate this treaty, has created much excite
ment in Europe. Turkey regards tha de
mand as equivalent to a ieclaraHon of war,
and L rapidly placing her army on a war
footing, while, it is reported, the neutral
powers have expressed a determination to
stand firm by the side of Turkey to maintain
the terms of the treaty intact that England,
Turkey, Austria and Italy have already en
tered into an agreement to preserve a com
mon attitude towards Russia.
This being tha case, a general European
war is imminent. In fact, late advbes from
London represent that the British fleet is
preparing for active scrvise, and that all
vessels of war have been re called from dis
tant stations, except where they are actually
needed. That the other powers, parties to
the treaty of 1S5S, will soon follow the ex
ample of England, in preparing for a gener
al conflict, there is litdo doubt, unless Rus
sia will recede fn.m her avowed determina
tion to maintain a fleet in the Black Sea. A

Dkatu or Senator Watt. Hon. Wm.
W.Watt, State Senator from th 1st ri;.,.;,..
died Kt his residence in 1'hil .delphia, on
Ihursday tnormng, Nov. 17. Mr. Watt
served four successive tcrrasas representative
in the Jegis!uture from the 4th district. In
ISCOheieceived the Republican nomination
for Senator from the 1st district. After the
election his seat was contested by Alexander
J. Diamond, the Democratic candidate, but
after a prolonged h-ating the case was deci
ded in his favor, and he served in the Senate
during the last session. Deceased had a
host of friends, and was much respected by
ail those who knew him.
The State Senate standing 17 Republicans
to 16 Democrats, the death of Mr. Watt
leaves that body a'tie until a successor is
elected. The Deraoerar-y. in view ot the
closeness of the 1st district, quietly exult
over the death of Mr. Watt, in anticipation
that they can elect a successor by frauds.

It is said that a number of documents
were found in a balloon recently captured
by the Prussians, which berioasly compro
mise the neutrality of Switzerland.
A note from the French Government
thanks the neutrals for their late interven
tion in behalf of peace. The note says
that the acceptance of the harsh Prussian
terms would have been virtually subscri
bing to our own subjugation.
DitECX, Nov. 15. The Prussians now
investing Paris are forcing French peasants
into their service. Th latter are compel
led to take their own horses and wagons to
work on the Prussian defenses, under the
fire of the forts at Paris. Dreux is occu
pied by French forces.
Lyon, Nov. 15. Dijon has been reoc
rupied by tha Prussians in heavy foree.
Touns, Nov. 16. Advices from O.Ieans
state that among the prisoners captured in
the battle near there on the 9th. were the
nephew of the Prussian commander Vonder
Tann, and a General of the Prussians who
was Governor of New Orleaus during their
late occupation of that city. The carriage
horses of Yonder Tann hime'f were also
captured. The city ot Chartrcs is again
occupied by t he French.
.London, Nov. 18. Advices , from Or
leans, state that ihe Prussians had retired
northward beyond Arthenay, una that the
French had massed butween the latter place
and Orleans.
A .special telegram from Tours states that
Gen. Pa!udioe repeated his strategic move
ment, whiuli secure 1 u'u la'.e victory at Or
leansthat while threatening the German
front, he swum aro.nl their left wing, and
moved a corps between the Duke of J'eeh
lenuurg aul Pa.'is, which compelled the
Germans to retreat northward towards
Etamps. Some fighting took place, result
ing in advantage to the French, who every
where outnumbered the enemy.
London, Nov. IS. It is now ascertain
ed that the Prussians in Paladincs's front
have not retired to Arthenay. Ttl-i Prus
sians now hold all strongholds along the
line of the Scuta Mountains. The siege of
Lonn ay and Mont medy is imminent. A
sorti-j from Mesieres ha been repulsed by
the First Prussian Infantry,
YeitSAiLLES, Nov. 18. The King to day
telegraphed Q:ieen Augusta al Berlin, that
the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg yesterday
repulsed the enemy along the whole line
near Dreux. Gen. Treskow, at the same
time, captured Dreux. Many prisoners were
taken. The cneuiy were pursued in the
direction of Leuians.
A report is current that Gen. Trocbu
mst.l.a siiTOr:fii! .sortie fain Paris, inflict
trig severe loss on the Germans, and estab
lialiifg communications with Do Aureiles.
Such is the tenure of the despatches from
the seat of war, which are very contradicto
ry. It is evident, however, that a French
army is massed in front of Orleans; that
the Germans are receiving reinforcements
for a battle thought imminent ; that lie
French cavalry behaves badly, and that
Gen. Paladiues is preparing boats to retreat
across the Loire in case of defeat, which
would indicate that the French are not very
confident of success. This seems to be tbe
situation at present.
Secretary Cox.
The Pittsburgh Gizetlf. says : The effort
to abuse the Presiletit over the fact of Sec
retary Cox's resignation, has assumed a
magnitude, never before known iu the his
tory of any administration. There are those
who have taken on tlicm.-elvcsa power never
before assumed, and which, under the cir
cumstances, can do no good, and might have
done much evil. It is establishing a prece
dent that if pursued, would fetter every ad
ministration, and absolutely prevent any
chaige of Cabinet officers where it would
be beneficial. Every partisan of the ap
pointee would call around hi in his friends,
and raii3 a howl over the iniquity of the
administration beciuse a Cabinet offi.'erhad
been removed.
The Cabinet was formed by the appoint
ments of the President. His wisdom, in
telligence and honesty placed M r. Cox in
that bureau. He was not put there by the
voice of the people, nor was there any very
wildery of delight raised when lie. was ap
pointed. We presume he would not have
accepted the position, as an honorable man,
unless his position agreed with that of the
President. And we thought that haviog
put him there without the consent of the
people being asked, bul because in his judg
ment he thought it would be for the benefit
of the Government, be had the right to get
rid of him just wh.-n ho thought it best. and
without a.-king th consent ol the people.
And wo think so still.
The President is responsible for the man
ner in which ho carries on this government,
and responsible to the people. Bat the
moment the people interfere and undertake
to run the givoratiunt themselves, by say
ing wh i shail and who siia'.i not be retained
in the Cabinet, that moment the President
becomes responsible no longer. We thiuk
that the President had a right uot only to
remove Mr. Cox, but to remove every mem
ber of his Cabinet, and without excusing
himself to the psoplc for so doing, and that
all he is responsible to the people for is, to
put others io ihe, vacant plaes who will
manage the respective departments to the
satisfaction of tbo citizeus. If he docs this
it is all the people have' a right to require ;
and if he does not do so, he thau becomes
an object of attack. If he is to be held re
sponsible for the manner in which he car
ries on the Government, he must be per
mitted to use tha means, which in his opin
ion are best ciiculaunl to attain the most
satisfactory result." Bat in the instance to
which we refer, he is not judged by any
such test. He is attacked for removing
Secretary Cox, not for changing his poiicy.
because there is not the most remote reason
for supposing his policy is changed. He
had the right to remove the Secretary, and
those who inveigh against that right are in
terfering with the policy of the administra
tion, which ha-s hcn uuiversully commen
ded. Time will disclose whether Mr. dux's
successor is able and efficient in carrying out
the policy of that department, and if he is
found not to be, we hope the President will
reikove hitu. '

Roue Under Italian Rule. A great
change for the better haa takei place in
Roue since the Papal authority ceased and
the city passed under the government of
Victor Emanuel. " There is now a free press
in Rome; and instead of only two wretch
ed little newspaper sheets from which
priestly censorship excluded every item of
interesting news, there are several prosper
ous secular journals, and even the religious
press profits by its freedom and deals in fe
rocious diatribes against the hcretius"and
"vipers." A cotemporary' observes : The
old city is full ot life which it has not known
before for years. Though the Council is
adjourned on the pretext that its delibera
tions would no longer be free, it can assem
ble whenever the Pope chooses to call it to
gether. The government would not inter
fere with it. and the Bishops would be quite
as safe as they were la- t winter, and find
the city in a much better condition. But
yet ahe old Papal regime demurs, and the
Pope, for reasons best known to himself,
probably, chooses to play a very fooli.sh and
stupid part in a drama which cau but end
in bis compl -te overthrow.
