kffswan' gournaf, gfcarftcfb, a., arcf; s5 1871. Raftsman's Journal . i. J. OVf.BOm ASDPBOPRIKT0B. CLEARFIELD, PA., MAttCH. 8, IsTl. Postponed. The Republican State Convention, which was to meet in Ilarrisbnrg on March lOtb, lias been postponed until the lTrh day of May next. This postponement tvas made at the earnest tlicitstion of some of the most prouint Republicans in various parts of the if fate. The reports from Alabama state tbst since the State Government has gene into the hands of the Democracy, Ku Kluxouirages have become more trtjuent. At present it is believed the contest for the Democratic nomination for the Presi dency lies between Hendricks and Thunnan. Grant can beat either of tbem ea.-ily. The Cleveland Loader pays the outgoing Congress the curious compliment of saying that "a review of its records shows its legis lation to have been rather harmless than beneficial." There is at present a bill before the House of the South Carolina Legislature, that pro vides that no deSt shall be hereafter incurred by the State, unless first approved by two thirtV of the popular vote. New York is out of humor because Phil adelphia is to have a centennial exposition in 1876. New York ought to get real mad, and move Independence Hall, and then may be she could have the exposition of 1976. A Philadelphia papersays "a bill endors ing the ten commandments could not be got ten through the Pennsylvania Legislature without the paymentof a cousiderableaiuount of money to the members." That's pretty severe on the members of our Legislature. $7,313,960 00 is the amount paid of the public debt since the first day of February, 1871, and the reduction of the debt since March, 1369, when President Grant assum ed the duties of President, is $204,754,4 1 3 00, or at the rate of S,53 1.433 08 J a month. This is truly gratifying for a Republican ad uiiuistratioB. The LouKville Courier-Journal publishes the letter of a correspondent who wanted it to print him a valentine deliniuting a woman 'wirh a snake sticking out of her mouth, Trvresenting a desperate tongue and tem per." Our contemporary Deed not have poked fun at its correspondent. He was evidently sincere and sensible. What he wanted was simply a picture of Keutucky Pemocracy. Dr. Thomas H. Burrowes, President of the Pennsylvania Agricultural College in Centre county, diea at that institution on Saturday, February 25th, areu about 67 years. The name of Dr. Burrowes 13 jvc-ll known to the people of Pcnuylvauia, as hs has for many years stood foremost among the aa.ocates of our educational interests. The decraseJ was formerly editor of lbs Pennsylvania School Journal, published at Lancaster. IILs death is general!) regretttd by the peo ple throughout the Stat. At a municipal election held in Frederitrk, Maryland, on Monday .Thomas M. HolLnt'O ner, Republican, was elected Mayor by a majority of one hundred and eisihty-six. The Republicans also elected all of the al dermen, and four out of seven councilman, thus effecting a complete revolution. TLis fact may be insignificant in itself, but like the straws which the hay press of the De mocracy delight in so much, it shows which way the wind blows in Maryland. The hil's of Frederick are as loyal to day us they were wheu old Barbara Friuhie's flag waved over them. The l'.'-uking open of a jail by the Ku Klux in Kentucky, and freeing one Scrog gins who bad murdered a negro, to preserve their members from the law at a!! haz trds, was not at all necessary. Kentucky has fail ed to realize the justice of a!iowiia negro to tCMti.'y except where the parties in-intcrest agree. That would not have affected Serog gins in the least, and the alarm was there fore premature. But it does seem a little strange for the Kentucky Legislature to take both sides of the question. If negro testi mony is admissible in evidence at all, it ought not to depend on the agreement of these parties, aud if it is not admissible it should not be received whether the parlies agree or not. It is making the negro relia ble as a witness providing the parties in terested agree to let him testify. That law is worse than excluding him altogether. The Republican memoes of the Indiana Legislature, who resinned rather than per mit a most shameful gerrymandering scheme originated by the Denvx-iacy, to succeed, have published an address explaining and defending their action. It teems that the apportionment fill, that was brought for ward, gave the Democracy as many mem bers on a population of 64,444, as the Re publicans, have with a population of 12S, 551. In other words, the Republicans re quire just double many voters of their faith to elect a member, as the Democracy require. The apportionment bill reported ia the Pennsylvania Senate last week, by the Democracy, is nearly as unfair as the Iudi aua bill. Should the bill referred to pass, the Republicans, who are Lrgely in the ma jority in this State, could succeed in electing only about oue third of the members to the IIouo, and two tithi to the Senate. This is a beautiful evidence of the pure jm j.o- c-oi tnc I'ouiGciaev. - - The Democratio Platform. - Mr. Linton Stephens will insist on being ever before the public. On the 18th oi Feb ruary he made another of his speeches in Augusta, Georgia. In that effort he set forth the true platform, of the Democratic party and the principles "on which that party base their hopes for success in 1S72. Among other remarks we fiud the following: ''But Mipposc Frank Biair conies to me with the New York Democratic platform of 1808, which declares that all these carpet hay governments in the South tire usurpa tions and I tell you, uiy friends, that we lost the fight in 18G8, not bf standing up to that platform, but by bat-kins down IVoir it; for it Seymour had planted himself upon it as firmly as Blair did, we should not have been defeated as we were - suppose, I say, that, Biair au J his party cone to uie and fay: 'We will stand by that platform. We will say that these Governments in the .South are revolvtkmary usurpations ; we still say that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are null and void ; and we will say that the bay.jnets should be withdrawn, ami the Southern States restored to their rightful position.' What answer would I make ? I would say; '1 join you sink or swim, live or die, purvive or perish, I will unie myself to you with bonds whi-.-'i no power ou earth can. pfver or destroy.' " This Mr. Stepbeua declares to be bis plat f 3i m, and that it tLiuU be the platform of the entire J?outh. That it will be the plat form of'tho Domojracy iri ti e South we have 1 no doubt. Id is the platform of the North ern Democracy, acd it means nothing more nor less than that there is to be a determin ed effort to nullifv the Fourteenth and Fif teenth Aniunduieiits. Fromissory Hotes. The; late decision of t lit? Supreme Court iu this State in ruferenea to the liabilities of the uisker of a promi.-sory note, is one to which the attention of every one doing bu sines should be specially directed. An ordi nary promissory note was filled up for the paymet.t of oue hundred dollars. After the note was made, the payee, it is asserted, ad ded the words "and City," thus making it a promissory note for one hundred and fifty dollars. This note was passed into the hands of an innocent t'niid party, who claimed th full sum named in the note. On an appeal to the Supremo Court it was decided that the drawer was liable, he having invited the fraud by bis own tieglitrcnce. It is we'll known that there is a blank Fpace on all printed promissory notes nbero the amount of money to be paid is written, and that at the end of this blank space the word "dol lars" is printed. The Supreme Court de clared that it was negligence or the part of the drawer in not drawing a line between the written word '"hundred" and the print ed word "dollars," and that where such neg ligence existed, and there was nothing on the face of the nite that showed any alter ation, the drawer was liable. The Chief Justice added that the Supreme Court deem ed siuh a rule necessary to facilitate the cir culation of commercial paper and at the same lime increase tho cure of drawers. The rule is only to apply, however, where an alter ation is not apparent ou the face of the paper. What will become of Napoleon? is now a question, somewhat anxiously asked, we jndgj, by very many in Kurope. The Rad icals in the Constitutional Assembly, at Bor deaux, have indicated a desire to have lam delivered up lo them for trial and punish ment. Rut this, of course, will not be done, even if Thiers were to urge this deman 1. Tins he will not bo likely to dc. It be but a poor consolation to take bis life, and this might arouse sympathy (V him which would be productive of trouble. There was a report c irrent, at the outbreak of the war between Fram e and IVtWiia. that Napolcun had ;aid that three events, he was long im pressed, vvonld occur to him. He would be elevated to the iLronc of France, would be dethroned, and shot on junior, bridge. The two events first mentioned havt; come to pass and he is more likely to visit England than not to do so. It is probable that the Ger mans trill, when the war is over.reIea.se hiui, and leave him go whither he iiko. As the ex-Fin press is in England, he will naturally direct his sterv thither. ! There is bad Mood between the little ; State of Central An.'ict- Honduras has ! declared vsr ag;:iuM Salvador and promptly put frix hundred men the field. Even this petty force the authorities of the latter State canrioi meet, indeed, they Are barely able to sustain themselves, a strong feciitig prevailing agai.'ist tbem. Nicaragua threatens to commence hostilities against Costa Rica, and in the course of a month nearly the whole of Central America will be a cauldron of petty wars and revolutions. Though these conte.-ts call forth no great armies and entail no enormous debts, they will do quite as much harm as more gigan tic struggles, for they retard the progress and prosperity of a section of ourcontineut highly favored by nature, but sadly abused by the bad government of man. The Arkansas troubles do not seem to be j arriving to any very defuuite conclusion. to oust Lieutenant Governor Johnson has failed. hcther this will account for the rumor that Goverr-or Clayton has telegraph ed tJ Washiuglon that he will remain in Arkansas and net accept the United States Senatorship, we cannot say, but are inclined to believe the ruiuor true. The effoit was to prevent Johnson taking Governor Clay ton's scat, if he accepted the position of United States Senator.- That effort having failed, it may be true, that the Governor has declined vacating his present place and allowing Johnson to step in. The colored people of Tennessee have been holding a four days' con ventio:: in Nashville. A resolution was adopted calling on Congress for protection agaiust outrage. Iu an ad dress the convention asserted nearly all the colored schools have been suspended outside of the largest cities on account of the out rages perpetrated on the teachers and color ed children ; that they must look to the Fed eral Government for the means of education; that the wages of laborers are low, and con sequently wa-it and destitution prevail ; that employers do not faithfully execute con tracts; that life is unsafe, and that colored mcuare ' kil;el for nuiaH offenses. Washington City Gossip. The House of Representatives, on March 2d, adopted a resolution acquitting Major General O. O. Howard of the groundless and causeless charges Irtely preferred against him, and declaring that in its judg ment, in successfully organizing and ad ministering, with fidelity, integrity, aud ability, the Freeduien's Bureau, he is de serving of the gratitude of the. American people.. Thus is asain vindicated one of Auie:ica's noblest and best heroes and statesmen. Congress receutly appropriated twenty five thousand dollars for the purpose of fa cilitating the detection of counterfeiters. The operations of the Secret Service Divi sion extend all over the United States and a part of Canada, and through its instru mentality millions of dollars are saved to the Government every year by the discov ery of frauds of various kinds. The flicers, as a rule, are men of experience and integ rity, and in their quiet, unseen labors prove valuable auxiliaries to the cause of justice aud public safety. They have been espe cially valuable in the detection of the man ufacturers of counterfeit money, and have within the past few months broken up ex tensire gangs of counterfeiters ia various parts of the country. lion. Wi'.kid Saulsbury, Senator from Delaware, whose term expired on Saturday last, was determined not to sink from pub lie notice without one grand effort. During the consideration of the army appropriation biil, l ist week, he made a lengthy speech in opposition to the passage of the bill, be cause his amendment prohibiting the ex peuditure of the uioney appropriated by it for th payment of troops employed at else tious was rejected. During the course ot Lis remarks Mr. Saulsbury served a notice on the Republican party that if the Demo crats by a fair vote elected their nominee for President, they intended to inaugurate him if they had to wade knee-deep in blood. After this ebulition, the Delaware Senator will, we trust, retire to his ances tral demeuse with becoming diguit. The nation can spare him. The report of the San .Domingo Com missioners will, if assertions ean be relied on, be nothing more than a mere matter of form. The minds of Senators have been fully formed, and the oppositionists declare that it makes no difference hat that re port may be, they regard it as inexpedient to annex any moru "contiguous tropica! ter ritory." A provision was incorporated info the Indian Appropriation bill, by the Confer er.co Committee, before its final passage, setting forth thst hereafter no Indian na tion or tribe within the territory of the United States, shall be acknowledged oi recognized as an independent nation, tribe, or power, with which the United States can contract by treaty, hut that nothing in the provision shall invalidate or impair the obligations of any treaty heretofore law fully made or ratified with any such Indiun nation or tribe. According to a Washington dispatch, the members of the High Commission say it is not the intention of the President to con vene the Senate in extra session if that body sbould adjourn before the High Commis sion get through their labor-;, in order to consider and act upon the treat- that may be negotiated. One of tiie American Com missioners is also reported to have said that whatever is airreed upon by the Joint Commission will be madi public before being submitted to the Senate. . -- llctes from Harriiibaifc-h. The recommendation of General GeaiTto sell tfee securities in the Sinking Fii.id, and apply the proceeds toward the liquidation of the State debt, was unfavorably reported onby the Legislative committee having the matter in charge. Their report was unfavorably regarded by the Senate, and referred back to them. If the facts are as stated in the above, the Senate is in favor of the sale of the Sinking Fund Securities. It was Gener ally supposed the Democratic majority in that body would oppose such sale. But, ''we'll.see what Wi shall fee." The local option bill has rarsed to a j second reading without auiendaienr, in the Legislature, by a vote so deemed as to m d'eate its probable passage by the Legisla ture when it comes to a final vote. A lew of the members were favorable to exempting wholesale dealers, but offered no amendment. The bill simply refers the question of li;uor selling to the people in every br.rough, township, or ward, they being peraiitted to decide for themselves whether liquor shall be sold. Whether this will accomplish the end designed by the temperance men, is rather probleniati cal. One district may vote for prohibition, while the adjoining may not. This being the case, would iutosication be Icfs Ire qiieut? A bill h ;? been introduced in'o the Senate, for the regulating rf marriages and protecting clergymen and Justices of the Peace performing the marriage ceremony, providing that it shall be the duty ct the clergyman or magistrate to require a liceuse from tb.3 Clerk of the Orphan's Court of the county in which the marriage is pro posed, which parties shall procure at a fee ot one dollar. Alter the ceremony the li cense shall be returned to the cierk within three days, with an indorsement embracing the date of marriage, name of party per forming the ceremony, with the names of I he witnesses present. The clerk fdiali not grant a license unless the parties are legally entitled thereto, or the parents or guardians apply, and when the application is doubt ful, the clerk shall admiuister oaths and ex amine witnesses, and he shall keep a record of all applications aud cases, for negli gence or violation of the law the clerk or other persons may be fined one thousand dollars. The liceuse shall release the cler gyman or magistrate from all responsibility. The country will be glad to learn of the united and harmonious action of the two Republican branches of the Missouri Con vention on Thursday. It was nnaniniously agreed that the two committees t-hall form one joint committee, and that the action of the regular Republican organization shall be acquiesced in by said joint committee. And attognher there was exhibited an en thusiasm iu ilia agaiu united ranks quite refreshing. The public has .watched the bitter dissensions in the rai.'ks with regret, and the pleasure at the reconciliation will be ali the ni.'io intense. Little of Everything. In demand eggs.

London, Mai ch 3 It is' believed the Germans will leave I'aris tbia evening, or at the latest to-morrow morning. There is in consequence great excitement in that city. A crowd of Parisians observing some Prussians in the Courts of the Louvre and Place de Carrousel yesterday, attempted to use force for their expulsion, but were kept back by a line of troops and pieces ot" cloth hung over the gate to hide the Prussians. Conflicts are expected if the Germans do not soou evacuate the city. Some of the Germans passed the line of demarcation, offering their hands and saying: "Now peace is concluded we are friends," but were repulsed with the words: "With the conditions imposed by Bismarck we never can be friends." Some disguised Prussian officers penetrated into the city, but were soou recognized and their lives being in danger from the people, they were protect ed by the autharities and re conducted to tbe German lines. The populace ate less calm than yesterday. Paris, March 2. Favre has gone to Ver sailles to day to demand the immediate evucuatiou of I'aiis by irtueof the terms of the convention. London. March 3.

The Parisian populace wreak.-d their vengeance on several women and children who were seen communicating with German soldiers. Vkusaili.es, March 3. Tbe prelimi naries of peace arranged by IJismarck and other plenipotentiaries, with Thiers and Favre, are as follows ; Article one specifics the Hue of demarcation ; article two pro vides that France will pay G-ermatiy five milliards of francs, one milliard at least iu 1871, and all the rest in the space of three years from the rutilicati n of the articles. The third article that the evacuation is to commence ou the ratification of the treaty by the Asssembly ; that the German troops will then immediately quit Paris and the left bank ot the Seine, and also the De partments of Cher Indre, Loire and Scine Infcrieurc, the French troops to remain be hind the Loire till the signing of the treaty. The Germans will evacuate tho riht lank of the Seine gradually after the signing of a uiOuitive treaty and the paymentof hail a milliard francs; after tbe payment of two milliards the Germans will only b"'d the I Departments of Maine, Ardennes, Metise, Vo.-ges, Meurlhe and He'fort. After thi paymcnt of thiee milliards the Germans will only keep 60,000 troops in France ; but if a sufficient money guarantee be given the Germans wiil evacuate completely at once, otberwi.-e tbiee milliards will carry latere.-,: at five per cent, from tle ratification. Ar tiele Jive provides that the German troops shall make no further requisitions; that the French government will find food for the army iu occupation of the ceded de partmcnts; that favorable arrangements will be made with the inhabitants and time given them to move if they please, and no obstacle will be plsu-cd in the way of emi gration. Article six provides that piiso ners will be immediately liberated ou tbe rat:6eation of the treaty, and that French railroads will lend their carriages and en gines at the same piices us to the Fix-ti. li government. Arii-.le seven provides that tbe treaty shali be definitely sicued at Kru-i-fitls immediately after ratification.
