All those'of our patrons indebted to us
either for job work or subscription to the
DIXOCRAT, will please make payment be•
tweets this and the first of April next. We
have commenced a new volume, and it is our
earnest desire to have all back subscriptions
settled up by the time above stated, and all
who do not call and settle or remit their
subecriptions will be charged two dollars
and fifty cents. They have an opportunity
now to save fifty cents, will they do it? This
notice is intended to apply to those only
who are in arrears, and we do not wish any
subscriber to take offence at it, but if Le
owes the printer, is a friend to the DEMO
CRAT and its principles and desires to see
the paper sustained, he will walk straight up
to the Captain's office (asking no questions
farther than "what's the amount of my
till") and "fork over." Those who have
too great a distance to ten& will please re
mit by mail, in a registered letter, and we'll
be willing to take the risk of a safe delivery.
The time has gone by when paperscould be
printed and trustedout year after year. We
expect to shake the hands of several hun
dred of our patrons, many of whom we have
not seen for two or three years. Come,
gentlemen, do not'leave us be disappointed.
We don't only want our money, but we want
to renew our acquaintance, besides better
enable ourself by your; visits to give you a
larger and better paper. We think we hear
some one at the door—down goes the pen.

Stick Suumer.”
We have a" Buckshot-Stevens," a " Dead
Duck Forney," a " Beast Butler;" and now
to be added to the list is a " Stick Sumner."
This eminent personification of negroism
recently addressed a letter to Stanton which
consisted of a single word, " Stick," mean
ing that Stanton should hold on to the War
office. Now this word Stick," as used by
the great miseginationist, is suggestive.
Was this very magnificent attempt at lacon
ic wit brought to the mind of the Senator
through the prophetic idea that himself and
party, like the well known implement of in
fatik amusement, having " gone up like a
rocket, will come down like a stick?" Or
was it: a wbvicrune remembrance of the
cane of Brooks ? At all events the pile of
cord-wood to which 'Stick Sumner' belongs
will in due time be burnt up by the unquench
able fire of Democracy, Conservatism, Radi
calism and all the other isms to the contrary
notwithstanding.
How comes it that the Democratic State
Convention so entirely ignored Senator uck
alew?—P. John's Republican.
We will answer the Repubtican'squestion
by asking it one, but at the same time will
not pretend to throw much light ou the aut.
jeut. Row comes it that the late Republi
can State Convention so entirely ignored
Senator Cameron? Can Palemon explain?
If he can explain thi.?: queztion, probably ho
can his own? It would seem that the "twe
lawyers" failed to come "to the =rata" and
explain, as they have in many other instan
ces. If they don't do better, soon, the hon
orable Senator may see the necessity of
starting another paper in this county to
"defend him."
IT is expected by the whole country that
Senators Doolittle, Dixon, and Fesseuden,
together with certain Democratic Senators,
will take a prominent part in the impeach-
ment question in defence of the President ;
but up to the present time these men have
been comparatively mum on the subject.
Some of them have gone so far as to absent
themselves from the Senate at times when
they should have been present.
Tflil Democratic State Convention resolvcd
"that every species of property should bear
its fair proportion cf taxation, and that the
exemption of government bonds thereupon
is unjust and inequitable." This position
should have been takou by the Democracy
of the State several years ago. It would
not have been impolitic then neither is it
now.

THE Indiana Democrat came to us last
week in an enlarged and improved form,
printed upon a power press and with new

HON• CiEO. Viewmts, the new United
States Senator from Maryland, was admit
ted to his seat on Monday last. The ltadi•
eals wade an effort to prevent his admission,
tat ,signally failed.
The Great Impeachment Trial.
*'This being - the day fixed for the return to
the summons Issued to the President under
the articles of impeachment preferred against
him, the Capitol, of course, was the same
of great intermit. The doors leading to the
Senate wing were strongly guarded by de•
tachments of the Capitol and Metropolitan
Polito, and no ono allowed to enter without
exhibiting a ticket of admiadon. At the
hour of electing (12 o'clock) the Senate
galleries were well filled, though by no
means crowded. Throe.berths of the audi
ence was composed of ladles, many of whom
wore brilliantly dressed. T he colored pope. ,
laden for the first time in Ave or six years,
were excluded, because their white brethren
of the two houses failed to provide these
with tickets.
The ordinary business of the Senate went
on until one o'c' .ek, when the President
pro lc pore . Wade), announced that
the chair would be vacant for the Chief Jug
deo of the United States, who soon after
appeared, whereupon the Sergeant-at-Arms
was ordered to opc3 t "High Court of
Impeachment," which li6 did by making the
usual proclamation. By this time many
members of tho House had entered the
Chamber, and taken seats provided for them
in the rear of the Senators' desks. The
Journal of Friday lag being read, it was
ordered that the Secretary inform the House
of Representatives that the Senate was
eitting as a "High Court of Impeachment."
Immediately thereafter the Sergeant-at-
Arms announced the presence of the mana
gers on the part of the House, (who,by the
way, came over without being sent for,) and
they were escorted to scats at a table on the
left of the secretary's desk. After Messrs.
Edmunds, Patterson of New Hampshire,
and Vickers, had been sworn as members of
the,"lligh Court," the Secretary read the
return of the Sergeant-at-Arms to the sum
mons, announcing its delivery to the Presi
dent, which was sworn to in open
Court.
The Sergeant-at-Arms then called Andrew
Johnson, (repeating the name twice,) Presi
dent of the United States, to appear and
answer the articles of impeachment exhibit
ed against him. Senator Johnson said the
President bad retained counsel to appear
for him, and the Sergeant -at-Arms was di
rected to notify the counsel, which was done,
and thereupon Hon. Henry Stanbery, Judge
Benjamin B. Curtis, and lion. Thomas A.
Nelson, of Tennessee. appeared and took
seats at a'tablc on the right of the main aisle.
At this point Messrs. Stevens and Butler,
of the house Managers, entered the Cham
ber and took seats with their associates.—
The members of the House (not already in)
soon followed, accompanied by the Speaker,
Clerk and Doorkeeper, and were escorted to
the seats provided for them. All being in
readiness, .Mr.:Stanbcry arose and announe
ed that his brothers Curtis;and Nelson and
himself appeared for the President, and
read his (the President's) response to the
summons asking forty days for - the prepara
tion of his answer to the articles of impeach
ment. Mr. Stanhery then moved the Court
to grant the time asked for, and road a paper
to that effect, signed by himself and Messrs.
Curtis, Clack, Nelson and Everts, of counsel
for the President. A discussion here arose
between Messrs. Stanbory and Curtis on ono
side, and Messrs. Bingham and Wilson on
the other—the former contending for the
allowance of time suggested, and.' theiatter
opposing it on the ground that under the
eighth rule the trial must proceed at once.
Mr. Senator Edmunds then submitted an
order requiring the President to file his an
swer on or before the first of April next,and
the case stands for trial on the Gth of that
month. Mr. Bingham raised a point of
order on this proposition, as it conflicted
with the rule above referred to.
The Chief Justice decided that it was in
the nature of an amendment to the rule,
whereupon Mr. Morton very adroitly moved
that the Senate retire for the purpose of con
sultation on the question before them, which
was agreed to, and the Chief Justice and
Senators retired to one of the rooms in the
rear of the Chamber for the purpose afore
said. A sort of recess then occurred, but
the members of the Bowe who were present
and the spectators in the galleries, for the
most pert, held on to their seats, while the
managers of the impeachment and the coun
sel of the President remained at their re
spective tables, Mr. Stevens indulged in a
plate of raw oysters, while his associates
talked earnestly with one another. The
President's counsel kept entirely to temselves
occasionally recognising some friend that
happened to pass by. This state of sus
pense continued until five minutes past four
o'clock, when the rustling in the galleries
and the moving about on the floor indicated
the return of the Chief Justice and the
members of the "High Court of Impeoch
wont." As soon as order had been restored
the Chief Justice announced that the Sen
ate had overruled the motion of the Presi
dent's counsel for an allowance of forty days
and had ordered that he file his answer on
or before the 23d instant. The question
then arose as to when the trial should actu
ally commence. Bingham submitted an
order that it should proceed immediately
after the filing of the replication to the
President's answer, and upon a vote by yeas
and nays on the proposition it was rejected
by 25 to 26. All the known impeachers
voted in the affirmative, while the more
cautious Radicals voted in the negative.—
After the result had been announced, Butler
who was waiting under the turn affairs had
akon, and the practical snubbing the HOll5O
managers bad received, rose and proceeded
to make a violent partisan harangue, which
disgusted even some of his own party.—
llon. Mr. Nelson, of counsel for the Presi
dent, replied in a calm, dignified and appro
priate manner, after which a proposition,
submitted by Mr. Conkling, ordering that,
unless otherwise ordered, for cause shown,
the trW shall proceed immediately after the
filing of the replication to the President's
answer, was adopted by a party vote, but
taken as a compromise between ordering
the trial to proceed unconditionally, after
the replication and fixing a certain day for
its commencement. It cannot begin now,

fo . The revolutionary
ohmmeter of Si ihOialOOnt was aptly por
traYoll by the aapiety of the Howe mana
gers to rinds it through, u Mr. Stanberr
said, with raaroad speed. The retirement
for consultation, and the refusal to grant the
motion of the President's counsel indicated
very clearly the temper of the majority of
the Senate. They have no Wee of allowing
anything like a his, decent and honorable
coune of proueding. Their great aim is
to dispose of the ease on the ex parte arti
cles they have presented, and shut out, if
possible, every opportunity for the President
to vindicate himself, if not before the parti
san body by which he is being tried, at least
before the people of his native main.

New Hampshire.
The Lancaster Daily intelligence, says :
We are at last able to present to our readers
the almost complete returns of the Now
Hampshire election, and in spite of the des
patches claiming the re-election of Harri
man by an increased majority, we are now
able to show that the Demomacjhave really
made large gains New Hampshire, since
1855, has never been carried by the Demo
crat% The State has gone Republican by
the following majorities for the past twelve
years:
1856 Republican majority.
5556
1858 a 5, , 192
1859. 3,543
;860 9,113
1861 4,015
1802 3,584
1864 3,529
1865 6,071
1866 4,656
1867 3,146
The returns from 223 towns give Harri
man, Republican, 39,531 ; and Sinclair,
Democrat, 36,923, showing A Radical ma
jority of 2,608. The remaining eight towns
last year gave a Democratic majority of 116,
which will probably_be increased, thus re
ducing the Radical majority of 3,46 in 1867
to 2,492 in 1868, a Democratic gain of 654,
The Lower House of the Legislature stood
in 1867, 203 Radicals to 128 Democrats;
Radical majority, 75. This year the Lower
House stands 190 Radicals to 141 Demo
crats ; Radical majority, 49, a Democratic
gain of 26.
Jt will be observed that the Democratic
vote will excend 37,000, a majority of the
legal votes of New Hampshire. A glance
at the map will show that New Hampshire
is surrounded by the intensely Radical States
of Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts.—
This fact shows whence the increased Radi
cal vote was derived. The vote of New
Hampshire has hitherto never exceeded
71,000.
An examination of the vote by towns will
show the damning fact that the Radical!
hare gained only is those towns bordering on
lifassachusats and Vermont; while
in the interior the Democrats gain largely.
Colonisation beat us, but that cannot be
done in November.
It will be remembered that the Demo
cratic gains here made were made: on the
vote of 1867, when the Democrats carried
everything. Similar gains elsewhere will
give us Connecticut by 3,000, and New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Del
aware, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois, Indi
ana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Nevada, Cali
fornia and Oregon by majorities that cannot
be shaken.

Democratic State Convention.
The Bedford Gazette says, this body met
at Harrisburg, on the 4th inst., and did its
work in an eminently harmonious and prop
er manner. The nominees for State offices,
arc both first rate men. Hon. C. E. Boyle,
of Fayette, the candidate for Auditor Gen
eral, was the Democratic leader of the
House, last year, and is universally acknowl
edged to be a strictly honest, as well as a very
able man. Gen. W. H. Ent, of Columbia,
tl e candidate for Surveyor General, is a
soldier whose record is spotless. His name
is a•bousebold word with the hard-fighting
Pennsylvania Reserves, whom ho led in
many a bloody field. For the proceedings
of the Convention, see another column.
The platform is a wise and sound one, and
should be pondered by every thinking man
in the county.
To JUDOS from the doings of the rump
em, both in the House and Senate, there is
• fixed determination to throw the President
out of office. Should this be accomplished
and the people submit to it, then Republican
institutions in this country will soon disap
pear. There will be no stability and securi
ty for life, liberty and property. Anarchy
and confusion are sure to follow. Then this
same party—these rumpers and their allies
—will raise the cry, the government is too
weak, the government must be made strong
er, there must be a permanent bead, the
people are to turbulent to elect a President.
Then will be the time when the people will
be fettered and shackeled. Some resistance
may be attempted in some quarters, but be
ing without a leader and proper organiza
tion, the result will only be a more complete
enslavement. That there is a fixed deter
mination to accomplish their great design—
the subversion of our institutions—there is
ample aide& on all sides.—Hanover

As we were a candidate before the Con

it may be expected that we will say some
thing about our defeat. We might give di

but we can compress it into a few words—
we did not receive votes enough. Our par

we had a claim to re-nomination, and pre

CENTRALIA, March 231, IRGB.
Mr. Editor, Dear School Board
9 1 this Borough met on last Saturday even
ing, and alter a good deal of talk on eoonumy,
&c., they conehnied to close the Schools at
the expiration of the seventh month, which
will happen in about two weeks. This deeds
ion. caused considerable annoyance and di*.
satasfaction, especially to those poor parents
who have no other moans of educating their
children, except by free schools. How the
Directors can do this and do it legally is
something that is not easily understood.
The only reason assigned for this suspension
is, I believe, a want of funds. This cannot
be so, as they levied ) at the commencement
of the school year, a tax of Ekren hundred
and Thirty. Eight Dollars for school pur
poses alone, besides our State appropriation!
This amount is sufficient to give ten months
schooling, and leave a balance in Treasury
of Two Hundral and Thirty- EXfikt Dollars
for other contingencies, which is sufficient
to cover all that is necessary to keep the
schools in operation for that period of time.
So it cannot be, that they are "strapped."
The object in suspending the schools so
early is thought to be, to liquidate a debt
which the Borough owes the Township of
Conyagham. According to the School Laws
of Pennsylvania this cannot be legally done.
Tax lovid for School purposes can only be
applied for school purposes, such as teach
ers salaries, fuel, stationery for the Board,
salary of the Secretary, books for indigent
children, and all other ordinary annual-ex
penses, neoessary to keep tho schools in op
eration. Also, when their is no building
tax or fund, occasional repairs and additions
to furniture and apparatus, arc to be paid
for out of the ordinary school tax.
Debt from a former year, for school pur
poses, should be provided for by an addition
to the ordinary school tax of the next year.
This is the law on this point, and how
our School Board can lay it aside and sub
stitute one of their own for it, we cannot
understand. They need not try to blind
fold the people by saying they aro short of
funds, and must close the schools on that
account. Such i.e not the case. The tax is
levied and, with soma fow exceptions, can
and must be collected. how then can they
with any propriety, say that they are short
of funds 'T It is all nonsense to talk in that
manner. That excuse will not do. Gentle
men, we want ten months school or lighter
taxation / We are willing and satisfied to
pay our debts, but wo don't want to " rob
Peter to pay Paul." Conyngham Town
ship can wait until next year for her money,
and not close our schools in trio middle of
March, when children have a chance to be
educated. A great many children have but
this time of year for education, and to de
prive them of it, is nothing short of robbery.
It is something else than economy that you
arc studying. By closing the free schools
you gain two objects, viz: the filling of your
subscription schools and the saving of an
extra tax. This is undeniable. We want
our schools kept open, and whatever tax is
necessary to keep them in operation, wo
arc willing to pay our proportion. The idea
of closing the Schools of this borough for
the paltry sum of four hundred dollars is
preposterous.
The township of Conyngbam can easily
keep her schools in operation. We want
the same thing here. We are forood out of
the township, in order to gratify the politics
of a fete Radicals. They have seen the re
sult of their work and they want to escape
its damages. Gentlemen you owe this debt
and you must pay it, and pay- it honestly.
Dont try to rob the poor children of three
months education, in order to save a few
" Scrips" to pay a debt you were instrumen
tal in bringing upon yourselves. Your ac
tions has not met the approbation of your
Constituents. You must continue the
Schools or if not, we will try and compel
you to do so. Hoping this will bring forth
an answer, we remain,

prominent a place in its columns, but kept
shoving it about in obscure places among
