CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH. 22, 1S71.
Secretary Boutwell is said to be confident
that he can place tLc new five per cent,
loan two hundred millions within twenty
wetVs.
General Grant may take hope cgain.
Wendell Phillips has pronounced against
him. II is tirades against the President are
worth to that functionary hundreds ot thou
sands of votes.
TVe have, again, rumors of preparations
on the part of the Indians, for another raid
next spring. The evidence of this alarm
injr event is, they are fattening their ponies.
Perhaps it will Le found that the times
have changed, and the Indians also.
The Black Sea difficulty is reported set
tled, Russia having practically gained all
her demands. The Black Sea is to be open
to men of war, the Sultan being permuted
to admit the war vessels of other nations
through the Dardanelles in time of peace.
This is a sort of compromise in which the
solid advantages accrue to Russia.
The eyes of the Democratic press have
been opened. A new light has shown un
tlicni. Mr. Sumner was formerly denounc
ed by the Democratic journals as an enemy
to his country, an aristocrat, a mere intel
lectual bubble, and a gross violator of the
Constitution. Now he is extolled by them
as the very paragon of political virtue. We
don't object.
We notice the quite important announce
ment that the Democratic members of Con
gress propose to read Frank Blair out of
their party, at the next caucus they hold.
Rather dangerous business, we think.
Blair is too strong a man to be read ont,
and the mere attempt to do it will only im
prove his chances for the next Presidential
nomination.
The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Democrat as
serts as a fact that there "were more Demo
crats enlisted in the war from this Slate
than Republicans." If the claim were to be
admitted, there is still another fact which
even the Democrat will not dispute. That
is, that all these Democratic soldiers return
ed from the war Republicans to the back
Lone. Tho war acted as an eye opener to
these brave and worthy men.
The Secretary of the Treasury has just
issued a circular containing the regulations
for the redemption of copper and other to
ken coins under the act of Congress of
March 3, 1ST1. Such coins are to be sent
in sums of not les than twenty dollars, and
at the expense of the owner, to the Plrect-
or of the Mint at Philadelphia, who must
be advised by mail of the amount and kind
of coin forwarded, and upon what Assistant
Treasurer the check to payment thereof
thall be drawn.
Alluding tc posthumous remarks indulged
in hy Saulsbmy, the New York Commercial
declares that after getting ou his ex-Sena
torial timbers and tactiug out, be met his
brother Asa, the new Senator, who, almost
bursting with anger and mortification, ex
claimed : "My God, Willard, how came
you to make such an a of yourself?" To
which "Willard," shaking his sides with
enjoyment of the jAfc, replied : "O, yotr
nev' mind I hie!) Wiilard, you nev' rariid
saH'nthefaniilv!"
The Worcester Spy pays this deserved
compliment to Senator Cameron : Senator
Camerou has served in the Seiiate some
sixteen or eighteen years, has been a Cabi
net officer and Minister to the largest Em
pire in Europe, and has been for home
y:ars associated with Mr. Sumner on the
very committee of which he is now made
chairman. He has, therefore, had ample
opportunity to learn something of" the du
ties of his position, and bis enemies have
never charged hiiu with being a dull scholar.
SoIJicrs are aJvbed not to sell or part
with th.-ir discharges, which ate in active I
demand iu the wot. The uew law of Con- j
press so modifies the requirements of the
Homestead aet that a soldier or sailor who
served ninety days or more durius the re
bellion, may deduct his term of enlistment
from the five years' settlement hitherto re
quired to perfect his title. For in.-tuuee, if
he served three years in the army or navy,
liu may acquire a full title to a quarter sec
tion of land by a residence of two years.
There is evidence that the sharks are pre
paring to wring .dishonest fortunes cut of
the law.
The PiUslurg litpatch says : Our Leg
islatuiedevotesitbelf to innocent pleasautry,
every now and then, as showing how much
juiciness there is iu- politics when i ropcrly
managed. First Republicans offer resolu
tions touching the Sumner anV:r, which the
Democrats load down with obnoxious
amendments. Then the IV-mocracy aim to
be jubilant over New Hampshire, when the
Republicans innocently tack on amendments
which are death to the main resolution. But
the funniest part of the affair is, that Loth
sides go into a seemingly augry political
discussion over the affair. We suppose this
method is resorted to to get rid of the sur
plus gas carried by some of the honorable
members of both political parties. Why
not et apart a couple of days, near the
clos of the session, for displays of elo
quence and wit, and attend, until thcii, to
ih lv!giiia;at luiacii of tl.o sciou?
The New Hampshire Eleotion.
The election for Governor, members of
the State Legislature, and members of Con
gress, was held in New Hampshire on Tues
day, March 14th, and may be summed up
as follows :
The Democratic candidate for Governor
has about 500 more voles than his Repub
lican competitor, but a third candidate be
ing in the field neither is elected, the law of
the State requiring a majority of all the
Votes cast as necessary to a choice.
A Democratic majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature, which would secure the
election of a Democratic Governor.
And the election of three Democratic
members of Congress.
Later advices, however, involve in doubt,
the result as above stated. Neither candi
date for Governor is elected, while the com
plexion of the Legislature is involved io
so much doubt as to rcuder it entirely un
certain which party will gaiu the day. The
Labor Reformers really con trol the House,
the Republicans and Democrats being so
evenly bilaneed that t h i four Labor Reform
ers have the casting vote. In the Senate
the two parties are tied, the majority de
pending on the filling up of vacancies. So
the widely heralded wonderful triumph of
the Demoerjcy is but a myth as yet.
But. be that as it may, the Republicans
have been worsted in the fight, as the result
of apathy ; superinduced, perhaps, in some
measure, by the transfer of Mr. Sumner
from the Chairmanship of the Committee
on Foreign Relations Jo that on Privileges
and Elections, a few days before the elec
tion. The result, meagre as it is, has been
a source of much rejoicing with the Democ
racy, and they are, iu consequence, already
predicting the utter overthrow of th? Re
publican party at the next electron.
True, by the election of three Democratic
Congressmen from New Hampshire, the
Republican majority in the House has been
decreased from thirty-five to thirty-two.
But there are thirteen vacancies in the
House, fuur of whiuli will be Clled on the
3d of April by the election in Connecticut,
and three more in Septuibcr by the election
in California. The other vacancies are from
the States of Texas, Michigan, and Illinois.
The first named will have to elect an entire
ly new delegation of three mentbers, and as
there is no law by which it can be done un
til November, 1872, the present Legislature
will have to provide for a special election.
Next fall Michigan and Illinois will elect
successors at the same time to Messrs Ferry
and Logan, promoted to the Senate. Leav
ing out of the count the contested seats, it
is not probable that the relative strength of
the two parties in Congress will be at all
changed before the expiration of the Forty
second Congress.-
These facts, taken in connection wifh the
attitude of the Democracy on the Sumner
controversy, arc favorable signs for the su
premacy of R-epublicanisin. notwithstanding
the papers of that party declaim that the
Republican party is entirely split apart,bro
ker. up, demoralized, and" hence the Democ
racy have only to walk over the political
course at the Presidential election irr FS72.
Surely, these fellows arc possessed of an
nnutually sanguine temperament. With all
the odium attached to their political course,
by sympathising with the Southern traitors
during the rebellion, they see, in the simple
change of a Republican Senator from oue
committee to another, and the loss of a
G'j-vernur and three members ot Congress
in a State that w;s very close last year and
Democratic until comparatively a few years
since, enougii to assure them of the imme
diate triumph of their rtbellion-sUincd and
traitorous organization. Not so fast, good
irieuds. The Republican party does not
depend either upon Mr. Sumner, President
Grant, or the election of a Gubernatorial
candidate, for its existence,, but upon thj
iij'uutable principles inherent within its or
ganisation. And notwithstanding incMvid
al mntuLers tur.v differ in opinion, as to local
questions, tu a temporary apathy exi?t in
certain localities, the Party will continue fo
live and triumph Ui.ti' if mission, in resto
ring the country to its pro rebellious pros
perity, is fulfilled.
.
It was a long time before ihe Northern j
Democracy eonld be convinced that Jhcir
Southern allies intended to resist the an- I
thnritv .md nvei throw the Govpmt.i.t of
the United States by armed force. Kve.i
after hostilities had commenced they de
clared that they were a mere myth. It is as
difficult to convince them now thet there is
an iuftmoui order in full blast in the South,
which is daily plunging the dagger into tVe
hearts of innocent and .harmless citizens for
no other cause than that they are members
of the Republican party. It ;s to be hoped
that the Government will not fai! to do its
whole dnty in the suppression of these
southern outrages, r.ot withstanding the in-
credulity of Democratic journals as to their
existence. Thousands of loyal men have
been crueliv murdered iu the south within
j the last two years, and no punishment has
been inflicted on their murderers. This
j state of things roust not be permitted to
continue. Let the necessary remedy be iip-
Iued at onee, so that the cour.trv may not
again be cursed wilh auother civil war,
which way prove more bloody than the one
through which we have passed.
Legislative. The probability is that
the Pcnn.-ylvaiiia L:gis!atm-e will adjourn
without providing for a Conveutiou to re
vise the State Constitution, or apportioning
the State into Senatorial aud Representative
distiicts. The Democracy are opposed to
the first named measure, and will only agree
to the latter upon the condition that the
lv-publicaus accord them (the minority) a
majority iu both branches of the Legisla
ture. The people should make a note of
these facts.
As showing the precise significance of the
result of the election in New Hampshire, it
iaonly necessary to state that last year the
vote of the State was thus divided : Repub
lican, 34,912; Democratic, 25,023; Labor
Reform, 7.3G0; Prohibition, 1,167; Re
publican majority, 1,353 thus requiring
less than oue thousand votes to effect the
change claimed to have been made in that
Cute.
A Sessible View.
The Gerruautown Tttegraph, which paper
is well known as strictly neutral n politics,
takes the following sensible view of the
change made In the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations: "
"It is a matter of extreme surprise to u9
that certain newspapers, which ought to
know better, com plain of the change in the
Seuatc Committee on Foreign Relation, by
placing Mr. Camerou at the head of it in
stead of Mr. Sumner. We are at a loss to
couceive how it were possible for the Gov
ernment to discharge its proper functions
by having at the head of this committee,
who is virtually a member of the Cabiuet.a
man bitterly antagonistic both to the Presi
dent and Secretary of State. We all know
how intolerant Mr. Sumner isof dissent, bow
he assumes to be everything in himself
Senate, Secretary and President and that
he never yields a hair to any one, though he
may chause his own views as often as he
likes. If Mr. Sumner were possessed of a
grain of delicacy he would have resigned at
once his position when he proclaimed him
self in open hostility to the administration,
in language the most offensive ; but his nat
ural love of antagonism and determination
to defeat and destroy the President in his
own interest, made hiui obstinately adhere
to the place until turned out by S majority
of the Senate.
While Mr. Sumner remained at the head
of the Foreign Committee the Administra
tion could have do foreign. policy that was
not his policy. It possessed no independ
ence ; and thj nroinent it assumed any it en
countered this autocrat of the Senate Cham
ber, who never yields. The question of his
dismissal from the committee were merely
one of time,. and it has not taken place any
too- soon. Doubtless all the vials of his
wrath will now be poured out upon the Ad
ministration, but he mustnowscold as a full
private, and not as the chief of the most
important committee of Congress.
When journals talk of the disruption of
the Republican party by this change in a
Senate committee at the time when general
changes are made, by the displacing of one
man and the putting of another in his seat,
they show how much importance they at
tach to men and how little to principles.
The truth is Mr. Sumner is worth nothing
to the Republican party. He never added
a vote to its strength, he has detached hun
dreds and thousands frm it. So that ia
this view of the ca.se the least said the bet
ter. That he is a man of great intelligence,
nobody denies ; but this is only the more to
be dreaded when unworthily used, as has
frequently been done. That the majority
ot the Senate is to blame for any division
in the Republican ranks resulting from this
measure, we take occasion- fo emphatically
deny. It is t he. short-sigMed journals which
assert this,, and which keep alive the so
called excitement by paiadir- in their col
umns all that the malcontents say about it,
that do all the mischief. But we have a
higher opinion of the Republican p irty thari'
they, aiid do not imagine for a mcmcnt that
any portion of it will regard the removal of
an intraelable and rancorous member of a
most important committee, directly arrayed
against the Administration, and substituting
for him a good, safe, sensible man, not like
ly to ahu!e his position and in perfect accord
with the Administration he represents, will
create any dissent in the party, but the cou
trary." t
The Cloven Foot Exposed.
The action of the Democratic members
of Congress on the repeal of the duty on
coal, indicates too clearly for further con
cealment on' their part of the real sta.ufc of
the party on the protective question.- The
New York World, the leading Democratic
paper of the party, "speaks as one having
authority." Its declarations are not niade
at random' but are careful and well con.-i Jer-
ed. One of the reasons for changing the
day of election in New York is thus stated
by tbis Dbmocratic'organ : ,
The Democratic party is afree trade party,
and" if it were not for the misehievoas influ
ence ot the Pennsylvania' October election,
the party would be Ur.der no temptation to
weaken itself iu the country by trimming on
the tariff questiori. The Pennsylvania pro
tectionists have a strong grip upon national
politics and legislation by the jrreat anxiety
of both parties to carry that State iu Octo
ber as a means of influencing the l'rc.-idon-tial
flection, if the great commercial and
free trade State of New York also held an
election in October, national convention
would not be tempted to court the Pennsyl
vania protectionists either in the selection
of candidates or the construction of a plat
form. An October election in New Ynik
would spike the big guns of the protection
ists and cniiincipate our polities from long
servitude to Pennsylvania interests. ,
After this we osght to hear no more from
Pennsylvania Democrats about their friend
liness to pretention. Jet them lollow their
leaders and frankly declare that "the Dem
ocratic party is a free tiade party." We
call particular attention ot our mechanics,
laboring men, and manufacturers to this
frank declaration of the World. When they
are asked to vote the Democratic ticket, let
(hcin keep constantly before their eyes the
statement : "The Democratic party is a
free tracJe party."
Tho Situation.
The N. y. Tribune says : "We can hard
ly conceive of any greater political mischief
than I hat which wouki probably arise f.om
a general "Democratic" tijui?t,h next year.
It seems to all ot us now impossible, yet
such a political revolution would hardly be
greater than the very decided one of 1840.
With ordinary wisdom, with a reasonable
and not vcy great degree of concession, and
with a strict Adherence to the settled prin
ciples of the party, we need have nothing to
fear without these may anticipate re
verses, which, however temporary, will put
back the work of rccoiisti;tctiou for many
years. The only wise course, ."nd the only
one which will have much chance for success,
will be for the youthful Democracy to ccept
the situation, drop the ancient issues' to
which the old fogies are incl.ned to cling,
and raise new ones, especially upon points
of finance and revenue points which, in
the hands of demagogues, afford ample op
portunities for misrepresentation and cheap
demagogy. This appeal to poeket prejudi
ces will be made, aud figures manipulated
with fraudulent dexterity. The effort will
be a desperate one, for, should it fail, there
will never be even the pretense ot repeating
it. But, with the Republican partj united,
we have no great cause of apprehension."
The new loan is reported by Secretary
Boutwfcll to be a decided success. The en

The contest for the political control of the
State of Arkansas, which at one time wa.s
so serious as to threaten civil war, seems to
havo been happily settled, at least for the
present. Lient.-Gov. Johnson, who was
elected as a Republican, but who recently
quarreled with Gov. Clayton aud his admin
istration, aud affiliated with the Democrats,
resigned hi" office a few days ago, and was
subsequently appointed by Gov. Clayton to
the position of Secretary of State, in place
of Mr. White, tesigned. The Senate then
elected Mr. O. A. Hadley as President of
that body, whereupon Gov. Clayton again
becomes a candidate for a seat in the U. S.
Senate, which he had recently declined, and
is elected. It is well known that he declin
ed the seat heretofore because he believed
his acceptance of it, with Johnson as his
successor in the Executive chair, would pnt
the State Administration into the hands of
the Deinocrats.Now, by provision of law,
Mr. Hadley, a sound Republican", becomes
Governor of the State for the remainder of
Got. Clayton's term.
The les says: "The Democratic papers
have attempted to make much political cap
ital out of the recent riot at Meridian, Miss.,
but have lamentably failed. According to a
rebel paper printed in Meridian, it origina
ted in the knocking down of a negro who
was "standing gazing at a fire and praying
that all rebels' property might be destroy
ed." F-jr this crime he was knocked down,
brutally beaten, dragged before a police
court, and because he contradicted a wit
ness, shot down in cold blood. Of course
the negro was fomenting a disturbance and
stirring up enmity between the two races,
aid o$ coure he and five other negroes had
to be murdered for it, one judge killed and
another escorted to a railroad train and in
vited to leave and never return. Such is
society at the South.
The Chicago Post very aptly remarks:
The Democratic woe over Senator Sum
ner's case is on the increase, and will last
nearly nine days, unless something more
startling turns up. He must feel, at the
recital of Lis wrongs, like a man reading
his own obituary. The party press can
scarce eon tain its great sorrow. Its words
of dolorous note echo on all sides, and if
the people did not know Mr. Sumner, they
might think him the subject of a Demo
cratic wake.
A Connecticut paper tells a pathetic story
about a pigeon which became fastened by a
long string hanging to its leg, to a telegraph
wire in Norwich. Two or three cruel boys
wanted1 to throw stones at it, but a' kind
gentleman, telling them not to hurt the poor
bird, got a' ladder and carefully unwound
the string, and put the frightened, fluttering
little creature tenderly into' his bosom, while
he descended. The next evening he re
marked that it had- made a much nicer pie
than he expected.

olution because Mr. fcjuniner was not grati

A Texas paper reports that since last Oc

ture bare proven themselves to be as graceless a
set of scoundrels as ever sold their votes to the
highest bidder in a deliberative body.
The last foolish foolery for fashionable females
is sticking a small patch of black court plaster,
about the eixe of a smashed fly period, on some
part of the face. We can't assign the origin of
this late "-Tangle," unless it is on account of the
popularity or in eommemoration of the Fifteenth
Amendment, or else in contradistinction to Olive
Logan's -bright side." Shoo, fly.
Later intelligence from San Domingo in
dicates that the work of the Commission is
rery nearly fininhed, and that Mr. Wade is
drawiug up the preliminary report The
ether. Commissioners are looking a little
farther, in order to more perfectly satisfy
themselves in relation to several questions.
Tbe reort is geuerally favorable to annexa
tion, and when faily compiled will be a com
prehensive and thorough document, em
bracing the most available information on
all the points -involved in the resolution
adopted by Congress. Whether it ean com
mand anything like favorable attention at
the hands of Congress in the now excited
state of that body remains to be seen.
