New Volume.
The Thirty-third volume of the DEMOCRAT
and STAR commences with this number, and
that, too, under encouraging auspices. The
DEMOCRAT is to-day the oldest paper in Co
lumbia County, with a local circulat ion equal,
if not larger, than any other paper in the
county. Its advertising patronage is remu
nerative; for which we are under obligations
to our friends. It is our intention, with the
aEsistauce of FRANK It. SNYDER, an experi
enced and thorough printer, in the publica
tion of this paper, to make it more interest
ing during the coming year. We have made
arrangements to introduce new type in the
advertising department, which will add much
to the appearance of the paper as well as
make it more readable.
The coming campaign bids fair to be of
more interest than any heretofore parsed
through ; and it is the duty of every Demo
crat to lend his assistance in the circulation
of all Democratic papers• The dissemina
tion of Democratic doctrines through the
local papers will accomplish more in bring
ing about a lasting peace between the disaf
fected sections of this country than all other
work that might he performed•
The friends of the Draiocasz are especi
ally solicited to extend and continue their
influence in the encouragement and support
of this paper, for "we still lire." Such was
the reply of the great WEnsrEn, a few
hours before he closed his earthly career, in
reply to the inquiries of a friend. We feel
the - impart of those m - emotable words7- - flYgy
are brought directly home to 118 by realizing
that we still hold a place in the newspaper
world ; and we look upon the diminutive
form of the Da :cc:Ass% as it lays under the
wing of its large eight column neighbor, and
bless our fortune th•it we are not "wiped
out," that "we still live." We entered our
office on several reer , ions during the past
twelve mouths with trepidation, expecting
to be confronted with hundreds of our sub
scriber., and bear that doleful sound : "Stop
our paper; we're going to take the Colum
bian, which contains all the telegraphic and
local news ahead of the dailies!" We didn't
see this army of subscribers, neither did we
hear the doleful sound "stop our paper."
Encouraged, we glanced over its columns,
and we felt relieved. "The mount trio labor
ed and brought forth a mouse." The result
of weeks, nay months, of blowing, of spread
ing the country with letters and prospectuses,
printed in red and in black ; of an army of
cauvauers, who button-holed the people
worse than ever did the hungry politicians,
—and by specious promises and representa
tions induced persons to subscribe.
The Columbian—all the latest telegraphic
news I European letter writers—Kaleido
scopic correspondents—home contributors—
corps of editors, such as would put to shame
those of the New York Herald, Tribune, or
World, were weekly to throw into its columns
the sparkling gems and bright scintillations
from their graphic pens, these and a thou
sand other things were to be done, in order
to give the people one of the largest, great
est and best weeklies in the United States
and the Canadaa. Notwithstanding the
great amount of blowing on the part of' the
*way proprietors and canvassers of the
Cb/umbiant'he Diemocitar will probably sur
vive the shock. We intend to pursue the
even tenor of our way, and issue our paper
regularly every Wednesday morning. It
will be made as interesting as possible and
improved as we steadily progress. All who
wish to continue the paper during the new
volume can do so, and those who desire to
discontinue will please look after their ac
mutts and see that they are square with the
pubfiaber.
Tux CONTESTED ELECTION, CASE.—The
attempt to cheat Mr. Shagert out of his seat
in the State Senate still continues. The
Bellefonte Watchnunt in speaking of the
witnesses from Centre county, says: "Of
the three principal witnesses had to testify
in the Shugert-Patterson election case, one
of them, a dozen of men from this place
will swear they would not believe on his oath
under any eireumstaws ; another was kept
out of the Western Penitentiary for forgery,
by his father swearing that ho was crazy,
and the other was saved imprisonment for
embezzling money belonging to the Penn
sylvania railroad company, by a Democrat
paying up his dofalcatlons, and trusting him
for the amount."
TRI Fort Sanders I n dex says an artni of
2,000 Indians is marching into the Sweet
Water country from Idaho and Montana.
They are on the war-path, and have burned
all ranches north of Soma Springs, and
driven off all the stock ; also burning the
houses, and compelling the ranchmen to fly
for safety
Affairs at Washla
We refer our readers to another column
for the latest news up to going to prose, of
the condition of affairs at the Capital of . the
nation ; but we will here give a succinct so
count as nearly as we can gather the facts
from the hurried and somewhat eonfuled
dispatches, or what has transpired at that
seat of wisdom and honor, to wit, the said
Capital.
On Friday last the President removed
STANTON, and announced the fact to the
Senate. General LORENZO THOMAS was
appointed in his stead. On the same day
THottAs went to the War Office and an
nounced to STANTON that he wu prepared
to assume his duties u Secretary of War.
STANTON told him, in substanoe, that he,
TtrowAs, would be allowed to do no such
thing. Thereupon Tnnit.se, it seems, walk
ed away. STANTON then went to Judge
CARTTER, of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and swore out a warrant
against THOMAS for attempting to assume
the duties of the office contrary to law, and
THOMAS wns held to bail, himself iu five
thousand dollars, with two surties in a like
sum. When the information of these pro
ceedings was received in Corgress, THAD.
STEVENS immediately revived the project of
impeachment , and a vote in the House wan
to be had at five o'clock on Monday after
noon. In the meantime STANTON sleeps in
the War Office with bayonets at the door.
How the matter will terminate it is impossi
ble to predict with any degree of certainty.
We can only say that the whole proceeding
is ecandalous u affecting the (lofted States
of America.
P. S.—Since writing the above we have
been informed that the Howe of Repreacn
tatives have voted articles of impeachment.
Should any additional news come to hand in
time we will give it to our readmit.
GOOD LAW.-A bill is bafure the Penn
sylvania legislature making it unlawful for
any railroad company in the State to warm
its ears with stoves heated with coal, wood,
or any infiawable matter, but to keep them
warm by some means that will not occasion
fire in case of accident. If any stove heated
with coal or wood be used thirty days after
the passage of thisact, the conductor, engin
eer, president and secretary of the company
shall, on conviction in any county through
which the cars run, to be fined not exceed
ing $l,OOO. if any passengers shall be
burned to death or killed in consequence of
a ear being warmed in violation to this act,
the conductor shall be prosecuted for man
slaughter, and if convicted ho will be im
prisoned not exceeding ten years. No
petroleuiu or oil shall be used to light cars.
TIIE Philadelphia Daily News, en avowed
Jonwnow paper, after saying that General
THOMAS, the newly appointed Secretary of
War, has nothing to fear as to any penalty
which may be imposed under the tenure of
office bill, because the President can pardon
him the moment he is convicted, adds as
follows: "And it strikes us , we /
"been in bis place there would have been a
" ticw Sccretnry of War officiating in Wash
" ington about ten o'clock A. M. on S.ltur•
"day." We venture to say that the whole
country, not including, of course, the re
maining corporul's guard of radical Radi
cals, would have cried amen to such action
on the part of the President's appointee.
But villainy and weakness seem to rule the
hour. GRANT disgraced his own manhood
and the judgment of the President by gross
ly deceiving the latter; and this new man
THOSIAi seems to manifesto degree of weak
ness commensurate with the villainy of
GRANT.
We hope to be able to inform our readers
in our next issue that some official, or official
body at IVashiWon has so retrieved him
self or ifs-elf as to give the wuntry hope.

ARREST OF GENERAL THOMAS.
The Question of Impeachment.
The affairs in and about the Capital are
quite exalting I The special correspondent
in the daily Age of Monday says, "the rev
olutionary,course of the Radicals in Congress
has finally culminated in a deliberate move
ment to depose the President from office,
through the form of a partisan impeach
ment. In consequence of this lawless pro
ceeding the most intense excitement prevails
here, and the momentous question so sud
denly thrust UV* the country, is auxiously
einvaased by nearly all classes and condi
tions of persons. In the hotels, on the
streets, and in fact almost everywhere, groups
of men can be seen talking over "the situa
tion" and speculation on the probable result
of this most extraordinary effort of the rad
ical party to obtain possession of the Execu
tive Department of the government.. The
introduction of the impeachment resolution
in the House yesterday, by Mr. Stevens,
from the so-called Reconstruction Commit
tee, was not unexpected, ■nd although the
vote thereon will not be taken until to
morrow afternoon, it, may be stated with
confidence, that the result will show that
the entire Radical side of the House favor
impeachment. Thus far, I have not heard
of a single Radical member who will vote
against the proposition, and there is reason
to believe that the same degree of unanim
ity prevails among the Senate Radicals, who
held a lengthy caucus yesterday, and it is
said, discussed this question with as much
freedom as though they were not to be call
ed upon to discharge the duty of jurors io
the case, which, by the way, they virtually
decided against the President, when they
adopted the resolution of Friday night, de
claring that the removal of Stanton was an
illegal act, &c., &o. Thus it may be safely
assumed that they will waste no time in the
trial. They ate anxious to get possession of
the Presidential office, and whatever they
can do to hasten that wished-for consumma
tion will most assuredly be done. Mean
time Stanton remains in the War Depart
ment and General Thomas is denied admis
sion, or rather the right to discharge the
duties of the office to which he has been
appointed by the Chief Executive officer of
the country.
The Department has, by order of Stanton,
been placed under double guard. Stalwart
soldiers, with glistening muskets and sword
bayonets, marching with solemn tread
around the building wherein Edwin M.
Stanton remains, bidding defiance to the
orders of his superior officer. Scores of
Radical Senators and Representatives visit
him throughout ,he day, and the sentinels
at the door are ordered to admit no one
inside, unless by direction of the wan styl
ing himself "Secretary of War," and to
whom all cards must first be sent. To-day,
he has received a large number of his Jac*
bin friends of the Senate and House, but
re tikdThiarc iiit representatives of the
leading New York papers. Ile expresses a
determination to remain in the Department
until forcibly ejected, and it may be fairly
presumed that h 3 has a perfect understand
ing with Grant on the subject. There are
no indications tending to show that the Pres
ident will order General Thomas to use force
to obtain possession of the office, and hence
the probabilities are that the anomalous
condition of affairs will continue for a while
longer, at least. The coolness manifested
by Mr. Johnson under the circumstances is
rather remarkable. Ile seems totally indit
ferent about the movement inaugurated iu
the House. It is said that he sent a mes
sage to the Senate after the adjournment of
that body yesterday afternoon, wherein the
reasons of the removal of Stanton are pat
ticularly stated, amounting to insubordina
tion on the part of the would-be Secretary.
It is announced that the nomination of [lon.
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, to be Secretary of
War, will be sent in to-morrow, but will
amount to nothing, as the Senate will confirm
no one to take the place of Stanton. The
issue has been made, and either Congress or
the President must inevitably fail in the
conflict which the former is seeking to inau
gurate.
P. S.—Since writing the above it is re
ported that application will be made to the
proper tribunal to-morrow, by counsel on be
half of General Thomas, for a quo warrento
to compel Mr. Stanton to show by and under
what authority he holds possession of the
ar Depal tmet.t This will throw the whole
question into court, but it is apprehended
that it will require some time to reach a
final decision on the constitutionality of the
act under which Stanton claims that the
President cannot remove him from office.
Tux Democratic National Convention will
nieet in New York, July 4th, to nominate a
candidate for President and Vice President.
Phis location, in point of convenience, we
rather like ; but on the other hand, we look
on the place with some suspicion. It is so
near Wall Street we stand a good chance of
getting a bondholders' candidate, a thing
the Democracy do not want. The interest
on these bonds must be stopped. Pay them
off with greenbacks and be done with them.
How long can the people stand this thing of
paying interest on this huge debt created by
the issuing of bonds, and at the same time
not reducing the principal one farthing I
Not ono Presidential term longer. The
question is upon us now, and in this OATU
paign it must be definitely settled. The
poor laboring classes of this country are di
rectly interested, and in November next
they will look after their own interests in
0390 ANDREW JOHNSON and STANTON do
not get up a new war and drug them all
into it.
A LARGE EAGLE SHOT.—Mr. David La
well, of Lower Nazareth, Northampton
county, shot a gray eagle teat week that
measured twelve feet from tip to tip of its
wings. Only one of the wings was broken,
and Mr. Laweli has the eagle alive, in his
possession.
PARDON or Disasza.—We are glad to
sae that William Mouser, Esq., Editor of
the Sunday Mercury, has been pardoned
by the Governor. It ought to have been
done woo time ago.
