CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 30, 1870.
The acme of ambition the Czar desiriDg
to become a Turkey gobbler.
The Nova Scotians kept last Thursday as
a day of Thanksgiving. Somewhat ominous.
Congress meets on Monday next The
President's message will be anxiously looked
for.
Meadville had eight inches of snow and
good sleighing, one day last week. That
beats Clearfield.
Thanksgiving day was pretty generally ob
served throughout all the States, by the
Ubual religious services.
Some one names Gen. Kane, of Buck-tail
fame, as a suitable candidate for Governor,
on behalf of the Republican ticket.
The Arrnv of the Cumbeiland partook of

is warmly spoken of as a candidate for State

responsible duties of the office for which he
is named.
Gold having been discovered in Madagas
car, the Government of the island has pro
hibited the search for ore. The reason for
this prohibition is, that if gold is found in
remunerative quantities, there will be such
a rush of Europeans to the country as will
dispossess the native inhabitants.
There are so many unforeseen difficulties
arising in the rural internal revenue districts
that the consolidation is not going to be as
extensive as was first expected, especially
where districts now cover a large amount ot
territory and.col)eiibj?rJu V8ftS51uUtion
at all.
The Free Traders class the Pennsylvania
Congressional delegation thus : Protection
ists 10, Free Traders 10, doubtful 4. A
cotemporary says that thus far only two have
declared themselves free-traJers, while sev
enteen are kuown to be protectionists. Some
difference in opinion, but we have little faith
in the Democrats as protectionists.
There is no truth in the report that the
United States has been invited to join a
Congress ot the Great Powers to effect an
amicable settlement of the existing difficul
ties, and even if an invitation should bo ex
tended, our Government would not accept
it, as we have never interfered in European
politics, and it is against the policy of the
administration now to do it.
It is said that under instructions of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, all persons are
required to report to the Assessors and their
Assistants, the amount of distilled liquors
they have on hand. Some wag says this re
quiretnent is not confined to distillers and
dealers alone, but extends to that "in the
possession of private individuals, in demi
johns and little brown jugs." This would
be rather hard on the Democracv.
Speaker White, of the Senate, has issued
Lis writ for an election in the First Senato
rial Distsict, to fill the vacancy created by
the death of Mr. Watt. The 20th day of
December is the time fixed for the holding
of the election. Already the report comes
from Philadelphia, that the .Democracy are
engaged in arrangements to carry the dis
trict by frauds, if possible. A full Repub
lican vote, and active vigilance to prevent
frauds, will insure a Republican victory.
The Democracy are unfortunate. They
cannot muster a single principle which is
ustained by the party as a unit. It was
thought that free trade was such a princi
ple, and a prominent journal was so unthink
ing as to range the entire Democratic dele
gation in Congress in support of the so called
revenue reform movement. Tho truth is
that the more thoughtful and the really sol
id portion of the Democracy are protection
ists. It is unfortunate to divide the party
on such an issue, but it is well to have the
best fraction on the right side.
The New York Standard, on the subject
of party bolting, remarks : "We think the
practice of bolting is somewhat akin to mu
tiny. If a man is a party man, he owes
something to the discipline of the party. If
he goes into a canvas, or a convention, and
takes part in its counsels, he is bound in
eonie way by its action. For the mere act
pf going into this consultation is an admis
sion that he meets his peers, and that he is
in honor bound to act with them. The way
to avoid bolting is for men to attend the or
ganization of the party to tote at primary
elections -to sit hj convention. There are
good men enough ir both parties to control
them if good men will only show a desire to
take that trouble. Bolting is simply the
resort of indolen.se and apathy, the apologr
for indifference or the excuse for political
chagrin and disappointed ambition. To en
courage it js simply to put a premium on
mutiny, nd to pave the way to the wanton
ant unrabuked detrqction of caudidaic."
Political Items.
Sumpter, South Carolina, at the recent
election, polled 3,500 votes, and ge a Re
publican majority of 3,000. Beauregard
should at onco be sent for to inflict on Sump
ter another bombardment.
At the late election in Iowa, direct issue
was joined on Protection and Free Trade,
nd the Republican party by upholding the
American principle had majorities ranging
from 41,000 to 40,000, anion the largest it
ever had in the State.
One of the neatest instances on record of
the value of getting out every vote, appears
from the result of the Fourth Indiana dis
trict. Some weeks after the election it was
decided that Wilson, the Republican, had
11 majority; but now, it is alleged that by
the discovery of. a miscount at one poll, the
seat will be given to Gooding, Democrat, by
one majority, in a poll of over 2R.000 votes.
Stay-at-home Republicans should remeru
ber this incident.
The majority of the Hon. Horace May-
nard, in the Second Congressional district of
Tennessee is 606, a large reduction from
that given him two years ago, before the
Republican party of Tennessee had divided
on the question of rebel enfranchisement.
The election of Mr.Maynard for his seventh
term is especially gratifying to the friend
of home industries. His record on this
question is as conspicuous for loyalty as was
his course during the rebellion.
The evidences of the decay of the Rcpub
lican party, do not seem to be very strong in
New Jersey. The official count returns a
Republican gain, not only of one Congress
man, but of over 8,000 Republican votes ;
while the loss of the Democracy, exclusive
of the Congressman, is 4,063. In the Sen
ate the Republicans have gained four, and
in the Assembly eight members. The Sen
ate itands 12 Republicans to 9 Democrats,
and the Assembly 34 Republicans to 26 De-
mocrats. Ihe Legislature will meet on the
Tenth of January next and elect a United
States Senator.
Official returns from all but seven coun
ties of Florida show a Republican majority
in the State of t, 106. T'lc seven counties
not heard from all give Democratic majori
ties, some of them very small, and it is not
likely that in the aggregate they will be suf
ficient to overcome the Republican majori
ty. The registered votes of these counties
in JS63 was white, 1,13; colored, 4lK.
If every white vote in these counties has
been cast with the Democracy, and every
colored one with the Republicans, we will
still have a small majority. Many Repub
lican precincts have been thrown out by the
"Democratic Inspectors, but, in spite of this.
it is believed the Republicans have carried
the State.
At Jut, says the Philadelphia Pw, we
are getting the official figures of the election
in Arkansas on the 7th November. The
first returns from that State, coming from
fjTFfPfeferiyVtts'eiiKre'Cong??;
sional delegation and the Legislature, which
would have insured them a United States
Senator to succeed Senator M'Donald. La
ter returns show that we have carried one,
if not two, of the three Congressional dis
tricts and the Legislature by a large majori
ty the Senate standing 20 Republicans to
5 Democrats, and the House 46 Rapublicans
to 27 Democrats. This secures the re elec
tion of M'Donald beyond doubt. The State
is still soundly Republican.
Maryland gave a Democratic majority at
the recent election, of IS, 000. This was
heralded as a great Democratic triumph.
But what are the facts in the case? Mary
land is fart becoming less and less reliable
to Democracy. We annex a table of the
Democratic majorities ia that State for the
past four years, to wit :
In 1867 the Majority was 41,712
In 1S6S " " 31,919
In 1869 " ' 29,342
In 1870 " " " 18,000
It will be seen by this table that since the
year 1857, the majority of the Democratic
party has been getting less and less, until in
1870 there is a falling off of some 23,000
from 1867, and of over 11,000 votes from
1869. And this is claimed as being a great
Democratic victory. A few more such vic
tories and State will be Republican.
The German soldiers now in France and
fit for active service, it is estimated, num
ber 690.000, and the hor..es belonging to the
German army amount to 160,000. The dai
ly rations of these troops require 250,000
loaves of bread, 185 oxen, 50,000 pounds ol
bacon, 54,000 pounlsof rice, 160,000qnarts
of brandy, 40,000 pounds of coffee, 680,000
pounds of hay, and large quantities of grain
and straw.
Ncmerous outrages by Chippewa Indians
upon white settlements in the Northern part
of Minnesota are rsported. The settlers
promise to commence a war of extermina
tion against the savages, unless the Govern
ment interferes and protects them. These
outrages extend far beyond the well-settled
portion of the State, and where the settle
ments are isolated and straggling.
RrssiA. The Continental complications,
says the IWsx, are smoothing out quite
pleasantly. Russia, from all appearances,
does not want to fight any more than ber
trembling opponents. Where she blustered
she now smiles placidly, begs pardon defer
entially, and rubs her hands together as if
nothing had happened.
The whole number of copper and nickel
cents now accumulated in the beveral post
offices in this country, is estimated at 40,
000,000. It seems when these base coin get
into the post office they stick and can't be
got rid of. The postmaster of Louisville,
Ky., it is said has 100,000 j( them.

Supreme Court Appointment.
The Supreme Court Judges, not satisfied
with the extra miseion of one blunder, in the
re-appointment of J. Ross Snowden as Pro
thonotary of the Kastern District.have com
mitted another similar one in the re-appointment
of Thomas J. Keenan as Prothonota
ryof the Western District both Democrats
"dved in the wool," and the foruier.at least,
charged with a greater crime than his De
mocracy that of having countenanced the
issuinar of fal naturalization papers IrOtn
his office, it he did not do it directly himself.
We have already expressed our sentiments
in regard to the former appointment very
freely, condemning without reservation the
conduct of the Republican Judges who dis
regarded their plain duty and betrayed the
party that elected them by voting for Snow
den. We entertain the same sentiment ex
pressed then in regard to their more recent
action in the appointment of Keenan. There
is no excuse for them. Nothing they can
allege can palliate, much less wipe out their
offense. The Pittsburg Gazette in reference
to the appointment of Keenan says :
"Under the specious excuse of keeping
politics out of the administration of our
Courts of Justice, the Supreme Court of
our State has appointed Thomas J. Keenan
Prothonotary for the Western District of
Pennsylvania, Mr: Kcenau is not only a
Democrat, but a party Democrat. lie is
Chairman of the Democratic Committee,
and used his best endeavors to defeat a Re
publican nominee for Judge of the Supreme
Court. lie is recognized as a strict party
man, and utterly and entirely opposed to
Republicanism in all its features. When a
Republican Judge was nomintitcd for the
Supreme Court, there was a Democratic
nomination for the same office. Republi
cans rallied around their nominee and elect
ed him. The office u so far a political one,
that the Judges have all.'been party nomi
nees, and only entitled to their seats because
they had a party majority. When the office
was sought, no Republican ever dreamed of
seeking Mr. Keenan's vote on the ground
that politics should be kept from out the
Supreme Court, but the votes of Republi
cans were expected, because the candidate
was a Republican nominee.
"What a miserable farce then it is, when
able men, good soldiers and sound Republi
cans, are applicants for an appointment in
the gift of the Supreme Court, that a Re
publican Judge, elected by Republican votes,
should vote for a Democrat, ignoring the
applicants of the others, for no other reason
than that they were Republicans 1 For what
other reason was there? S. P. Fulton, J
(J. M'Co.mell and Gen. Win. Blakely, are
either of them the equal of Mr. Keenan iu
pointef intelligence and fitness, independent
of the fact that they belonged to the Repub
lican party. If it would have been making
a party question out of an appointment of
the Supreme Court for a Republican Judge
to vote for a Republican applicant, why was
ocratic J udge to vote for Keenan, a Demo
crat? It is all nonsense, and the return to
these old soldiers is unkind and ungrateful.
for either one of them might have been ap
pointed without the slightest iinpropriety.as
far as bringing politics into the Supreme
Court was concerned, just as well as Keenan.
They deserved it more, and they had a right
to look for it. That they, or one of them,
did not get the appointment is due, we can
didly think, to nothing more nor le?s than
ingratitude, and mayhap the lack of moral
courage."
