CLEARFIELD, PA., 31 ARC II lii, IS71.
Eighteen of the twenty-four Pennsylva
nia Congressmen are lawyers by profession.
At the election in Poughkeepsie. New
York, on March 7th, the Republican candi
date for Mayer was elected, with nine hun
dred of a majority. . This is a Republican
gain, since i!i2 last ejection for Mayor, of
1,102.
One of the readiest ways of discovering
how much truth there is in Democratic
prating over love of the Constitution, is the
untiring endeavor of Democracy to prevent
the enactment of all laws, calculated to en
force the Constitutional Amendments.
Missouri has shown its regard for propri
ety by sezing upon the lottery dealers within
its limits. The lottery business is making
such advances just now, that it will be well
if several States shall give their attention
to that very progressive class of business
men.
In Spain the prisons are said to be full of
journalists and directors of newspapers hos
tile to the Government. The uew King is
a thorough Bjurbon, so far as the press is
concerned. Shouldn't wonder if he would
be "Boui boned" out of Spain, one of these
days.
It is said of the national debt that 2C1,
355 of it was paid each day during Februa
ry ; $10,8i0 every hour in February ; $ 1 Bl
every minute in February ; $3 every second
in February. This is what an honest col
lection of the revenues, faithfully applied,
does.
New Jersey proposes to make short work
of her debts, including the war debt. This
is between $3,000,000, and $4,000,000. The
Legislature is inclined to assess a direct tax
for the immediate payment of this debt.
This done, the people will be clear from
State taxation.
The Uuited States fiigate Worcester has
sai!el from Boston, loaded with provisions
for the starving French. Very large amvuuU
of money and provisions have been donated
to the cause, in various parts of the country.
All will be needed, and vastly more than
will probably be sent.
A man in trie Trenton Legislature has
offered a resolution iu favor of annexing
Staten Island to New Jersey. Whether
the island is to Le captured ami absorbed
like Alsace, or brought up like Santo Do
mingo, is not stated, but it is evident that
New Jersey means mischief.
The total appropriations of Congress for
1ST2 are $ 163,44 t,6Sl. 62 or ?5,53 549.9S
in excess of those for 1S71, which were
f 157,851,131. 04. The whole increase can
be attributed to the new pension laws, which
appropriate nea:ly double that amount, thus
showing an actual reduction in the expenses
of the departments.

Several propositions, looking to the re
quirement from lile iusurauce companies of
a more adequate deposit for the protection
of policy-holders, are before the New York
Legislature. The recent failures have giv
en this subject considerable interest, and al
though one of the exploded companies had
a sufficient fund at Albany to reinsure its
policies, the other company cannot make its
deposit cover more than a fourth of its pol
icy liabilities.
The Governor of Virginia, on Saturday
a-wexk, signed the Dill chartering the Wash
ington aud Richmond Railroad Company,
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has now a direct aud continuous line of
railway between all important points ou the
Southern Atlantic seaboard and the cities
of the north and cast, and the south a new
outlet for its products. The restrictive and
barbarous policy of the south has given way
to the enterprise and pluck of one great
corporation, aud we may now expect a new
era in railroad management in that section.
The Philadelphia Press says : When tho
great political battle of 1S72 comes to be
fought, the Republican party will need a
more stirring campaign document than its
financial record. A reduction ol the nation
al debt of $204,7c4,413 in two years, or at
the rate of one hundred millions ncr unnitm,
i indeed a glorious exhibit, but it will not
prove a strong-enouch weapon with which
to couibat the wily Democrrey. We must
have something more stirring, more aggres
fcive. The man of mere dollars and cents is
fct best but a poor creature, and as it is with
men so it is with parties. Who shall first

Hon. H. B. Swoope.
- The following article from the Altoona
(Democratic) Sun, relating to the efficiency
oi the present U. S. District Attorney iu
prosecuting offenders aga'mst the laws, ex
presses our views so fully, that we transfer
it entire to our columns :
When the aiioiu went of this gentleman
as U. S. Attorney for the Western District
wis first announced we took occasion to com
mend the selection, and among other things
remarked that in the disehargo of his otii
cial duties it would be found that he was no
respector of persons when it came to dealing
with law-breakers; that rich aod poor would
fare alike with him ; and that, active parti
san as he is, any attempt of a criminal to
shield himself from punishment by pleading
services rendered to his party, would be fu
tile. Mr. Swoope has now held his office
for more than a year, sending up more in
dictment, trying more cases, convicting more
criminals, smd transacting more business in
that Court than all his predecessors for the
last twenty years combined. And we are
glad to announce that an examination of the
records show that our predictions have'ieen
verified in every particular. Much of the
time of this Court has been taken up with
prosecutions of art apparently trifling char
acter, such js t-hat of distillers, brewers,
lager beer, cigar and tobacco venders, for
failure to comply with the internal revenue
laws, in omitting proper stamps, or to pay
special tax, or something of that sort
which were all violations of law. and as the
law officer of the Government Mr. Swoope
but discharged his duty in prosecuting them
as fast as they were brought before him in
official form. Naturally enough this has
made him the victim ol censnre in certain
quarters; but with how much justice good
citizens of common sonsejyill have no trw
ble to decide. And just now t;uito an effort
: . : - i.. . i . .1: :...-,
fim i the wlAern nart ,f h. StatT At
the recent term of this Court at Pittsburgh,
several lawyers, having been returaed to the
District Attorney, indictments against lliem
lor failure to pay the special tax as provided
by law. were laid before the grand jury and
true bills found in each case. On trial most
of them plead guilty, and the others tried
and convicted, and all, except one, discharg
ed on the payment of a slight tine, costs,
&e. The exception was that of S. D. Roth
ermal, a member of the bar of Pittsburgh,
who, upou being brought before the Court
on Friday last, (March 31,) was sentenced
to pay the usual penalty, costs, &c. .amount
ing in all to forty-three dollars, and lulling
to comply with the sentence was sent to jail.
And this is the foundation of the attempted
raid upon Mr. Swoope. That it will find
nosympathizorsamong sensible people there
can be no doubt. On the contiary. all sen
sible people must commend him tor it. A
poor ignorant creature is brought up before
the Court and fined fifty or a hundred, or
perhaps a thousand dollars for failure to
comply with some particular provision of
the .-tamp law, and no person beyond the
victim and his lauiily is disturbed in the
least. Lawyers, however, cannot plead ig
norance, and when convicted of violating
the law they, above all other men, are the
least entitled to svmpathy. If the friends
of the lawyers have complaints to make
they should complain t.-f tho law, not or
those whose sworn duty it is to execute the
law.
If Mr. Swonpe's example was more gen
erally followed it would bo much to the ben
etii of the public. Nothing i." more com
mon than the belief that the man with plen
ty oi' money, or surrounded with influential
friends, can escape the penalties of violated
law with impunity. That there isabuudant
reason for such widespread belief is hut too
apparent. There are but few Courts in the
Commonwealth whose proceedings do not
bear the clearest evidence of this fact, la
mentable as it is ; aud if a new start shall
be made, after the manner inniiirtirated by
the Attorney for the Western I'istriet, and
all violators of the law equally and certainlv
punished when legally convicted, without
regard to their sooi il standing, good citizens
will not fail to rejoice and render full credit
to the officer to whom it is due.
A ''Flanking" Scheme.
One of our exchanges says that the de
termination of the General Government to
rt press illegal voting at all elections whereat
Congressmen or oth.T national officers are
chosen, has naturally created dismay in the
ranks of the New York Democracy. A

said to be certain, Tammany can continue
to control the State Ouicors, and elect what
ever majority iu the Legislature is deemed
necessary, thus insuring a lieuiocratic Uui
ted States Senator to succeed Mr. Coukling,
whose term expires in 1 873. The lie rah I,
remarking upon this bi !, admits that "the
last election we had und :r Federal supervis
ion was unusually fair and orderly," and
adds, "this change of the election time will
involve a considerable extra outlay that will
not find a satisfactory return iu the absence
of Federal supervisors."
Contested Elections. A cctemporary
says : "We hope that the next Congress will
introduce a reform in the matter of allowing
money to contestants to seats in that body
as lavishly as has been done. The present
Congrrss has awarded to contestants not less
than $77,050. uot one of whom had the
shadow of a title to the seat he claimed.
B-.sldes the direct sum above, there was the
indirect one of $20,415 to witnesses, making
a total of $104,374 passing to parties ho
had no legal claims to a dollar. This vic
ious liberality tends to encourage contest
ants, and, if persisted in, will annually bring
the harpies to Washington with a claim to
a seat, to be allowed a liberal sum from the
Treasury. Such leaks must be stopped.

FLORIDA,
THE ITALY OF AM3KICA.
Is not excelled in Climate by thy of the United
States, and it may be doubted whether it can be
equaled in the world
Located on the very borders of the Torrid Zone
still hei situation between the liulf of Mexico
and the Atlantio ocean is such that she is swept
alttrnately by the winds of the Eastern and Wes
tern seas, and relieved from the burning heats
which prevail in other Southern States; and thus
it happens that by tho joint influence of latitude
and peculiar location, she is relieved, on the one
band, from the rigors of the Winter climate of
tbe Northern and Middle States, and on the oth
er, from the extreme heat with which not only
the Southern States, but in tha summer time the
Northern States are characterized.
Settlers have not the hardships to undergo that
have been the lot of the pioneers who opened up
and developed our harsh Northern latitudes. The
entire year ts a perpttual season of growth, able
to produce and send to markets the productions
f the Tropieal and Temperate Zones weeks and
monthi in advance of any other locality, and at a
season vien eUl such prod actions ai e luxurious,
and command the very highest prices ;

under the atttpiecs of the State of Florida, pro
pose to furnish lands of uniform good quality,
and upon which can be raised Vegetables, Fruits,

Such selected lands, in tho healthiest part of
