The New York Tribune in a recent elabo rate article on the snbject.made the following reference to the "disloyalty" of the so-ca- ll ed Democratic party-leader- ? during the war for the preservation of the Union : A confederacy of the seceded States hav- ing been formed, leading Northern and Western Democrats openly advocated the secession of their several States from the Union, and their accession to the Southern Confederacy. "If the Union is to be dis- solved,'.' said Judge George W. Woodward, Democratic candidate for Governor in 18G3, "I want the line to run north of Pennsyl vania. or Rodman M. Price, of New Jersey wrote and printed a letter elab- orately urging that New Jersey should forth- with unite her fortunes with those of the slaveholJing Confederacy. (See it in Amer- ican Conflict, vol. 1, p. 439.) And ex-Go- Horatio Seymour, of this State, privately argued that New York should likewise unite with that Coniederacy, whose head was Jer- - ferson Davis. It was held by leading Dem ocrats that the Union might thus be recon structcd without bloodshed or convulsion only New England, and, perhrps, two or three of the more fanatical States of the Northwest, being excluded therefrom, as unacceptable to our Southern brethren. A Singlxar Circumstance. At Mil waukee, on Friday, February 1st, during a heavy storm, a little boy fell into a snow drift, and was lost to sight After he had been buried for an hour, his friends began to seatch for him. Meanwhile, one of those who seemed most uneasy at the absence of the boy was a dog, who was a great favorite Approaching the place where the boy was buried, the dog stopped, snuffed the air, and whined piteously. He then began trying to dig into the drift. The party then began digging and throwing aside the snow. The dog dashed in beneath their shovels and found the boy's cap. lie evidently knew to whom it belonged, for as he drag Red it forth it gave him., great joy, and he barked gladly. Here was a trace, at least, but it was not without fear and trembling that search was continued, and with the help of the dog, who seemed as earnest as auy of the party, the boy was soon found there in his snow-be- d. The little fellow had suffered no inju- ry, whatever, said it was quite warm in the snow, and that he wasn't afraid, because he knew his friends would come for him. A Jollt Mistake. Tho Minnesota Stoats-Zeitun- a gcrman paper, is respon- sible for the following good hit : "By command of his high mightiness, the ex-tafl- or Andy, some one of the numerous clerks in Washington was recently set at work to renew the commission as postmas- ter for Farmington, Dakota county, of J. C. Andrews a bosom friend of "Andy's," and a first-clas- s bread-and-butt- er man. But the dark, being absent-minde- or thinking per- haps more of some other clerk in crinoline, blundered, and wrote, instead of J. C. An drews, J. C. Edwards. Now there is; by odd luck a J: C. Edwards in Farmington : but he is "a full-bloo- d nigger," black as the ace of spades, "sassy as a stotk of mon keys," and, as we hear, more intelligent. better educated, and considerably better qualified to run the machine than J. (;. Andrews. And so it came to pass, in the second year of his reign, that Andv, the nigger-kille- r, appointed a darkey in Minne- sota to be postmaster." Maryland. The Maryland Legislature, last week, repealed the law providing for vt new election in Baltimore. The secret of the repeal has leaked out It appears- - that in the new franchise law, throwing open" suf- frage to the traitors, all citizens were clothed with this right, and it was only when the fact was pointed out that under this statute, and by the plain meaning of the civil rights law; ne- groes were citizens and could therefore vote in the coming election, that they round trat their mistake. Alarmed at the prospect of losing everything, the Swannites hastily re- pealed the law, and the present city govern- ment will continue; uuless intermediately dismantled, until November of 1868. Acquittal op C. V. Culver. The trial of C. V. Culver and James S. Austin, for embezzlemeirt, was concluded at Franklin on Feb. 6th. The jury after a short absence returned a verdict, not guilty, and that the prosecutor, John Duffiold, pay the costs. The verdict was received with demonstra- tions of applause by the audience in court, and causes general rejoicing. ' John Ward has-bee- appointed Postmas- ter at Annville, Lebanon county. Nearly til the people of Annville, without distinc- tion of party, desired that the widow of the deceased Postmaster, Mr. Stroh, should re- ceive the appointment, but their wishes were disregarded.. v The High School at Martinsburg, Blair county, has passed into the hands of the Al- leghany Synod of the Lutheran Church. Bev. J.W.Schwartz is the present Principal The President's New Plan. For several weeks past, Gov. Worth, of North Carolina, Gov. Orr, of South Caro lina, Gov. Marvin, of Florida, Gov. Sh?r-ke- y, of Mississippi, and Gov. Parsons, of Alabama, have been in "W astyngton City, and in frequent conference with President Johnson. It seems that these interviews have resulted. in the hatching of a new scheme of Reconstruction, which, in sub- stance, is as follows: 1. That no State has a right to renounce the Union; 2. That the National Government has no right to eject a State from the Union, or to deprive it of representation in Congress ; 3. That the debt of the United States shall be sa- cred and inviolate ; 4. That neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay a debt incurred in aid of rebellion ; 5. That all persons born or naturalized in this country shall be accounted citizens of the United States and of any State in which they may resida, and shall have full protec- tion for life, liberty and property, from both the National and local Governments ; 0. That representation in Congress and Electo- ral Colleges shall be apportioned by count- ing all the population, excluding only Indi ans not taxed, and that whenever any person shall be denied the risrht of. suffrage on ac count of race, color or former condition of servitude, then the entire class so excluded shall not Ikj counted in apportioning repre sentation. These propositions embrace an amend- ment to the Constitution of the United States, which, according to the programme, is to be submitted to' Congress, and the peo ple, by one or all of the lately seceded States. In addition to this change in the Federal Constitution, they alsopropose that changes shall be made in the Constitutions of the Southern States, so as to provide that every male citizen who has resided in the particu lar State for one year, and in the county in which he offers to vote six months immedi ately preceding the day of election, and can read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States in the English language and write his name, or who may be the owner of $250 worth of taxable property, shall be entitled to vote at all elections for Governor of the State, mem- bers of the Legislature and all other officers, the election of whom may be by the people of the State. To reach the case of natural- ized citizens who do not read English, or who can not read at all, it is proposed to provide that no person shall be excluded from voting who has heretofore exercised the elective franchise under the Constitution or lawn of any 3tate, or wlio, at tlx, time of the adoption of this amendment, may be entitled to vote under said Constitution and laws. A comparison of this new Presidential scheme with the pending Constitutional Amendment, will, at a glance, reveal the difference between the two. The pending amendment prohibits the leading rebels from holding office under the National or State governments, while thus new plan inflicts no penalty whatever upon the rebels who tried to destroy the Government per contra; it places those who fought to destroy the Union on the same footing with those who fought to save the Union, and who did savs it from destruction by traitors. Nay, more. This new Presidential scheme restores the rebels at once to a perfect equality with those who were loyal to the Government it utterly ignores the character of the strug- gle through which the country has passed, and virtually admits that no wrong had been committed by the rebels, and hence no need of punishing traitors nor of muking "treason odious." Such being the character of this new reconstruction plan of President John- son, it is but natural that every truly' loyal heart should instinctively turn from it and seek safety in the fidelty of Congress. Then, let the people heartily sustain their repre- sentatives in Congress, and all will be well' the Union will be preserved, and traitors will be punishtiL Tlie terms of the contract resulting in the election of Garrett Davis in Kentucky,have been disclosed. The rebel Legislature agreed to vote for Davis with the understanding that the Conservatives should support an active rebel for the next Governor, and that rebels should be run for Congress fa all Con- servative Districts of the State. It is reported that Gov. Curtin, and fam- ily, will sail for Europe about the end of February that he expects to be absent about three months, and will extend his trip to Italy and that on his return he will te at Bellefonte. The Altoona Tribune has been enlarged to a seven column paper, and refitted with an entire new suit of type. It looks well The Tribune has always been a spicy and en- tertaining sheet, and promises well for the future. Gov. Geary has issued his warrant for the execution of Alex. R. B.Wiley, of Luzerne county, on Friday, the loth of March. Wi- ley was convicted of the murder of Alice Mc-Elw- ce last May. The meteorologists report the month of January the first in seventy years that has passed by without a thaw. There was not the sign of a thaw in the entire month. President Johnson, on Feb. 5th. sent to the Senate the nomination of M. A. Frank of Clearfield, as Assessor of the Nineteenth Penn. a District Uotes from Harrishnrg. State Treasurer Kemble has advertised, in accordance with the law just passed, for a new loan of $23,000,000, to redeem the over-du- e bonds of the State. There is little doubt, the new loan will be promptly taken. The Senate Railroad Committee have re- ported the bill, restoring the charter of the Connellsville railroad, with a negative re- commendation. Its passage is doubtful. Most of the members of the legislature visited Pittsburg last week, with a view of visiting the several charitable institutions in that citv and vicinity. A general Railroad bill has been reported, and the impression gains strength that it will become a law; yet there are reason to apprehend that amendments will be forced into it that will greatly restrict its usefulness. The friends of the measure, however, are endeavoring to pass it in the best shape possible, and trust to the future Legislatures to supply all deficiencies, and make the law what it should be. That a large majority of the people of the Commonwealth are in favor of a General Railroad law, no one conversant with the history of the past year will deny. Senator Lowry, of Erie, in the course of debate in the Senate, re- called the fact that Gov. Geary, early in the canvass last year, pledged himself to sustain the measure; and, Mr. Lowry added, but for this declaration Gov. Geary would have been .beaten fifty thousand a state- ment which should be well considered by those who aspire to future official positions. Intimations are given that a bill will be brought before the Legislature to repeal the law authorizing the election of District At- torneys by the people, and restoring the ap- pointment of these officers to the Attorney General. Better change the Constitution and make the Attorney General elective. There are sinister rumors afloat to the ef- fect that certain members of the Joint Com- mittee appointed to investigate charges of bribery and corruption, in connection with the Senatorial election, attempted or actual- ly succeeded in turning their position there- on to pecuniary account. Considering the eminent character and transparent unselfish- ness of all the gentlemen serving on that Committee, we attach no importance to these reports. But, would it not be singu- lar if these inculpations should assume such consistency as to render it necessary or ex- pedient to investigate the Investigating Committee? The Democrats Opposed to the Tariff. Mr. Bigham presented the following reso lutions in the Senate on February 4th, i : Whereas, the House of Representatives of the Thirty-nint- h Congress at its first ses- sion passed a bill imposing duties upon for- eign goods, wares and merchandise import- ed into the United States, and also securing increased protection to our industrial, man- ufacturing and mining interests; And ichcreax, The Senate of the United States has also within a few days passed this same bill wieh sundry amendments thereto ; And whereas, The Legislature of Penn- sylvania deems the passage of this bill as vi- tal to all the interestsof this Commonwealth, and fears that further discussion of its de- tails may endanger its final passage ; there- fore be it Resolved by the Senate, and House of Rep- resentatives of Pennsylvania in General AKSfimbfy: That the members of the House of Repre- sentatives in Congress from Pennsylvania be earnestly requested to unite in passing the tariff bill in the form it came from the Sen- ate, trusting to future legislation to correct errors, if such be found therein. 2. That if, in any possible contingency, this bill would hereafter come before both branches of Congress, that the Senators and Representatives in Congress from this State be earnestly requested to unanimously vote for the passage of this bill, as the best that can be secured to replenish the national treas- ury and protect the industrial interests of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bigham explained the necessity of the immediate passage of the joint resolu- tion in order to secure the- - passage of the Tariff bill by the present Congress. Mr. Searight (Democrat) spoke against the passage of the bill, and desired to have his vote on the record against the measure. On the question.Shall the joint resolution pass ? The yeas and nays wer required by Mr. Graham and Mr. Taylor, and were as fol- lows, viz: Yeas Messrs. Bigham,Billingfelt,Brown, (Mercer, ) Browne, (Lawrence,) Coleman, Connell, Cowles, Fisher, Graham, Haines, Landon, Lowry, M'Conaughy, Shoemaker, Stutzman, Taylor, White, Worthington and Hall, Spealer 15: Nays Messrs. Davis. Donovan, Glatz, Jackson, James, Randall, Schall, Searinht. andWalls-- 9. So the question was determined in the af- firmative. Here we have tho name of every Repub- lican Senator present voting in favor of the Tariff bill, whilst every Democratic Senator present voted against the protection of American industry. We deem further comment unnecessary. . . A Sad Accident. We learn from the Pittsburg Dispatch that a boy named Pat- rick Gillen, aged nine years who resided with his mother at Gallitzin, was killed, on Saturday, Feb. 2d, by a train going cast His body was firss found fast in the brakes, a short distance from Bennington, and was almost torn in nieces: his sled and a pair of mittens were found where the train had stopped, at Gallitzin. It is supposed that he had got upon the train for the pur- pose of getting coal, and of hauling it on his sled, as he had beenseen doing this at different times before. No person, howev er, observed mm getting on the train oa this occasion. "Washington City Gossip. Some merriment was created in the House, the other day, by Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, who rose to a personal explanation, in regard to a statement published in the Cincinnati Commeraial, that he had consulted Butler and Stevens and others on the resolution in- troduced by him some time since, proposing to investigate the conduct of high officers of the Government, charged with misdemean- ors the article also representing that, in a conversation with Mr. Bingham, he(Ashly) had said that the resolution was intended to reach Gen. Grant. The reading of the ar ticle created a great deal of amusement, es- pecially that portion wherein 31 r. Bingham is represented as denouncing Ashley as a fool. Some of the Democrats then wanted Mr. Bingham also to make an explanation, but that gentleman, amid much laughter, replied he had nothing to say ; and there the matter dropped. The politicians begin to talk of the organ- ization of the Fortieth Congress. Colfax will be Speaker again, and McPherson will be Clerk. The House can't do better. No- body is spoken of but Colfax for Speaker, and it would not surprise me if the Demo- crats made no nomination against him. 1 hear of one or two men who would like to be Clerk, but "they can't come in." Mc- Pherson is capable, honest, and thoroughly reliable and radical. The Indian Appropriation Bill was pas- sed, with but one amendment, and that was to prohibit Gov. Alex. Cummingsfrom dis- bursing any moneys as Indian Agent in Col- orado. The President has signed an important bill relating to habeas corpus. It provides that the several courts of the United State, and the several Justices and J udges of such courts within their respective jurisdiction, in addition to the authority already confer- red by law, shall have power to grant writs, of habeas corpus in all cases where any per- son may be restrained of his liberty in vio- lation of the Constitution or of any treaty or law of the United States, and it shall be lawful for such person so restrained of his liberty to apply to either of said judges for a writ of habeas corpus, and if any person to whom such writ of habeas corpus may be directed shall refuse to obey the same or shall neglect or refuse to make return there- to, in addition to the remedies already given by law, he or they shall be deemed and ta- ken to be guilty of a misdeuieanor,and shall, on conviction before any court of competent jurisdiction, be punished by fine not exceed- ing one thousand dollars and by imprison- ment not exceeding one 3rear, or by either, according to the nature and aggravation of the case. It is believed to be a fact, that of all the distinguished and able army officers who have been summoned to V ashmgton, not one of them favors the President s policy, though all of them were reckoned as "conservatives." To secure the fruits of the war. their verdict is, nothing less than the Constitutional Amendment should be thought of. It is believed that a sufficient number of returned rebels have been registered in Georgetown ' to defeat the Union ticket in the coming election there, but Congress will interfere with its shield and buckler be fore the wrong is perfected. It is known to persons resident here, though, perhaps, net to the country gener- ally, that John H. Surratt had a brother Isaac, who was in the rebel army during the war. It has just come to light that this brother went to Mexico immediately after ll of Richmond. Nothing was known of him till October, 18fi5, when Gen. Sheridan, then as now, at New Orleans, learned that he had appeared in Monterey, and crossed into Texas with the avowed in- tention of coming to Washington to assas sinate the President General Steele, in command on the frontier, very soon confirm- ed this intelligence ; and Secretary Stanton thereupon felt justified in placing a guard about ti,e White House, which- - was kept there for some time. No intimation of the matter was given to the President, as it was feared that he would refuse such protection, lie finally got an idea into his head that the guards were detecti ves,amlflalled the Secreta- ry to account iu violent language. This led to explanations, and the subsequent withdrawal of the guards. The attempt to galvanize the Democratic party by the old Copperheads in this vicini- ty has created quite an indignant protect. and the National Intelliaeuce.r, speaking in the interests of the secessionists, is furious at the suggestion of a Democratic National Convention. Col. Florence, of the Consti- tutional Union, is very anxious for the re- suscitation of t he old Democracy ; whereas the Intelligencer and its school regard the proposal simply as a preparation for a con- tinuous funeral. In tact all the signs indi- cate that every attempt to make an organi zation against the Republicans in ISfitf will be a distnai failure. There is no surer siirn of this than the cosfessions of the ex-rebe- ls now in Washington, and the fact that their friends are everywhere giving up Andrew Johnson in despair. The evident indisposi- tion of the Senate to confirm Republicans wno nave taKen office trom Andrew John- son, en the plea of assisting to break up their own party, meets with warm approval from the rank and file of the Republican or- ganization. Senator Wilson submitted to the Senate a communication from the Secretary of War, transmitting from General Grant the plan proposed by Col. Barker, of his staff, for establishing permanent peace with the In- dians. It proposes, first, the transfer of the management of Indian affairs to the War Department for many reasons, among which is the necessity of abolishing the trading agency system. Second, the establishment of territorial governmet8 for Indians. Third, the appointment of an inspection board as a temporary measure to examine account of Indian agents and inspect goods and agricultural implements furnished In- dians. Fourth, a commission consisting of whites and educated Indians to visit all tribes, hold talks with them, show them the benefits of permanent peace, and the aban- donment of nomadio- - life, the adoption of agricultural pursuits, and of consolidating in one territory. It can never adopt the policy of a total extermination of the Indian race without a cost of untold treasure and lives of her people, besides exposing to the abhorrence and censure of the entire civil- ized world. Maj. Gen. Pope has written a letter to Gen. Grant in favor of the transfer of the Indian- - Bureau to the War Depart- ment. It is announced as a piece of very pleas- ing intcBigcncei in a Richmond paper, that Gen. Sheridatt's refusal to allow a great pa- - radejof funeral honors at the burial of A. S. Johnston's remaius, is "severely censur- ed by many at the North, as wholly incon- sistent with either the sentiment of chival- ry and humanity." Very likely this is so. Many things that General Sheridan has done within the past years, have been severely censured by the same class of persons. Vir- ginia was overrun with reports of his wild pranks. And these persons at the North who now ensure him thought his operations then inconsistent with chivalry and human- ity. The free traders are in a fury over the tar- iff bill that has passed the Senate, and will make every effort to kill it in the House ; but its friends are very sanguine. Mr. Fes-send-on and Mr. Wells earnestly favor its passage. The National Intelligencer assails it, of course ; but it does not therefore, fol- low that the President will veto it Its ag- gregate provisions are supposed to be very acceptable to the Secretary of the Treasury. It is stated on high authority that Baker, the detective, in his testimony before the Judiciary Committee, in the impeachment matter, said he had once in his possession a letter written by Andrew Johnson, when Military Governor of Tennessee, addressed to Jeff. Davis, offering to identify himself and Tennessee with the Southern Confeder- acy on certain terms ; that being doubtful of the genuineness of the signature to the letter, he (Baker) showed the signature to the President's Private Secretary, who pos- itively identified the handwriting. The Nebraska bill was passed over the President's veto, in the Senate, without a word of debate, by a vote of 31 to 9 ; and in the House, by 1 20 to 44. The State is to be admitted by Presidential proclamation so soon as the Territorial Legislature shall have ratified the fundamental condition of universal suffrage. . The petition sent to the President by Ken- tucky Democrats, asking for the pardon of John C. Breckinridge and permission for him to return to this country, and the nom- ination by Democrats of Ballard county of that distinguished conspirator for Governor of the State, are two significant political items, going to show what are the designs of the rebels and the use they seek to make of the President in executing them. It would he difficult to name a man more guilty than Breckinridge, and it is , precisely for the part he took that the Democratic party would confer upon him tic highest honors of the State. Not only does the movement-betra- a feeling dangerous to the Union but an audacity equal to anything connected with the rebellion itself : and it should le regard- ed as one of the things that sharply instruct Congress in its duty. The new organization of theMilitary agen cy of Pennsylvania, under the instructions of Gov. Geary, bids fair to be most effective. U. S. Mail. Special aeents of the Post-offic- e Department arc constantly on the "go" to ferret out the many di3crepcncies that daily occur under the Randall appointments of th Bread and liutter brigade. A gen- tleman from Gettysburg informs us that sev eral di alts sent from that place to parties in JJarribanr are non ot. We hope, for the benefit of the entire public, the matter will be thoroughly ventilated. Telegraph. AcciIjent. Edward Gemberling.

CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 13, 1867.

DlSLOYALTX OPTOE DEMOCRATIC PaUTV.

The New York Tribune in a recent elaborate article on the snbject.made the following

reference to the "disloyalty" of the so-ca- ll

ed Democratic party-leader- ? during the war

for the preservation of the Union :

A confederacy of the seceded States hav-ing been formed, leading Northern andWestern Democrats openly advocated thesecession of their several States from theUnion, and their accession to the SouthernConfederacy. "If the Union is to be dis-

solved,'.' said Judge George W. Woodward,Democratic candidate for Governor in 18G3,"I want the line to run north of Pennsylvania. or Rodman M. Price, ofNew Jersey wrote and printed a letter elab-orately urging that New Jersey should forth-with unite her fortunes with those of theslaveholJing Confederacy. (See it in Amer-ican Conflict, vol. 1, p. 439.) And ex-Go-

Horatio Seymour, of this State, privatelyargued that New York should likewise unitewith that Coniederacy, whose head was Jer- -

ferson Davis. It was held by leading Democrats that the Union might thus be reconstructcd without bloodshed or convulsiononly New England, and, perhrps, two orthree of the more fanatical States of theNorthwest, being excluded therefrom, asunacceptable to our Southern brethren.

A Singlxar Circumstance. At Milwaukee, on Friday, February 1st, during aheavy storm, a little boy fell into a snowdrift, and was lost to sight After he hadbeen buried for an hour, his friends beganto seatch for him. Meanwhile, one of thosewho seemed most uneasy at the absence ofthe boy was a dog, who was a great favoriteApproaching the place where the boy wasburied, the dog stopped, snuffed the air, andwhined piteously. He then began trying todig into the drift. The party then begandigging and throwing aside the snow. Thedog dashed in beneath their shovels andfound the boy's cap. lie evidently knew towhom it belonged, for as he drag Red it forthit gave him., great joy, and he barked gladly.Here was a trace, at least, but it was notwithout fear and trembling that search wascontinued, and with the help of the dog,who seemed as earnest as auy of the party,the boy was soon found there in his snow-be- d.

The little fellow had suffered no inju-

ry, whatever, said it was quite warm in thesnow, and that he wasn't afraid, because heknew his friends would come for him.

A Jollt Mistake. Tho MinnesotaStoats-Zeitun- a gcrman paper, is respon-sible for the following good hit :

"By command of his high mightiness, theex-tafl- or Andy, some one of the numerousclerks in Washington was recently set atwork to renew the commission as postmas-ter for Farmington, Dakota county, of J. C.Andrews a bosom friend of "Andy's," anda first-clas- s bread-and-butt- er man. But thedark, being absent-minde- or thinking per-haps more of some other clerk in crinoline,blundered, and wrote, instead of J. C. Andrews, J. C. Edwards. Now there is; byodd luck a J: C. Edwards in Farmington :but he is "a full-bloo- d nigger," black as theace of spades, "sassy as a stotk of monkeys," and, as we hear, more intelligent.better educated, and considerably betterqualified to run the machine than J. (;.Andrews. And so it came to pass, in thesecond year of his reign, that Andv, the

nigger-kille- r, appointed a darkey in Minne-sota to be postmaster."

Maryland. The Maryland Legislature,last week, repealed the law providing for vt

new election in Baltimore. The secret ofthe repeal has leaked out It appears-- thatin the new franchise law, throwing open" suf-

frage to the traitors, all citizens were clothedwith this right, and it was only when the factwas pointed out that under this statute, and bythe plain meaning of the civil rights law; ne-

groes were citizens and could therefore votein the coming election, that they round trattheir mistake. Alarmed at the prospect oflosing everything, the Swannites hastily re-

pealed the law, and the present city govern-ment will continue; uuless intermediatelydismantled, until November of 1868.

Acquittal op C. V. Culver. Thetrial of C. V. Culver and James S. Austin,for embezzlemeirt, was concluded at Franklinon Feb. 6th. The jury after a short absencereturned a verdict, not guilty, and that theprosecutor, John Duffiold, pay the costs.The verdict was received with demonstra-tions of applause by the audience in court,and causes general rejoicing.

' John Ward has-bee- appointed Postmas-ter at Annville, Lebanon county. Nearlytil the people of Annville, without distinc-tion of party, desired that the widow of thedeceased Postmaster, Mr. Stroh, should re-

ceive the appointment, but their wishes weredisregarded.. v

The High School at Martinsburg, Blaircounty, has passed into the hands of the Al-leghany Synod of the Lutheran Church.Bev.J.W.Schwartz is the present Principal

The President's New Plan.For several weeks past, Gov. Worth, of

North Carolina, Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, Gov. Marvin, of Florida, Gov. Sh?r-ke- y,

of Mississippi, and Gov. Parsons, ofAlabama, have been in "W astyngton City,and in frequent conference with PresidentJohnson. It seems that these interviewshave resulted. in the hatching of a new

scheme of Reconstruction, which, in sub-

stance, is as follows: 1. That no State hasa right to renounce the Union; 2. Thatthe National Government has no right to

eject a State from the Union, or to depriveit of representation in Congress ; 3. Thatthe debt of the United States shall be sa-

cred and inviolate ; 4. That neither theUnited States nor any State shall assume orpay a debt incurred in aid of rebellion ; 5.

That all persons born or naturalized in thiscountry shall be accounted citizens of theUnited States and of any State in whichthey may resida, and shall have full protec-

tion for life, liberty and property, from boththe National and local Governments ; 0.

That representation in Congress and Electo-

ral Colleges shall be apportioned by count-ing all the population, excluding only Indians not taxed, and that whenever any personshall be denied the risrht of. suffrage on account of race, color or former condition ofservitude, then the entire class so excludedshall not Ikj counted in apportioning representation.

These propositions embrace an amend-

ment to the Constitution of the UnitedStates, which, according to the programme,is to be submitted to' Congress, and the people, by one or all of the lately seceded States.In addition to this change in the FederalConstitution, they alsopropose that changesshall be made in the Constitutions of theSouthern States, so as to provide that everymale citizen who has resided in the particular State for one year, and in the county inwhich he offers to vote six months immediately preceding the day of election, and canread the Declaration of Independence andthe Constitution of the United States in theEnglish language and write his name, orwho may be the owner of $250 worth oftaxable property, shall be entitled to vote atall elections for Governor of the State, mem-bers of the Legislature and all other officers,the election of whom may be by the peopleof the State. To reach the case of natural-ized citizens who do not read English, orwho can not read at all, it is proposed toprovide that no person shall be excludedfrom voting who has heretofore exercisedthe elective franchise under the Constitutionor lawn of any 3tate, or wlio, at tlx, time ofthe adoption of this amendment, may beentitled to vote under said Constitution andlaws.

A comparison of this new Presidentialscheme with the pending ConstitutionalAmendment, will, at a glance, reveal thedifference between the two. The pendingamendment prohibits the leading rebels fromholding office under the National or Stategovernments, while thus new plan inflicts nopenalty whatever upon the rebels who triedto destroy the Government per contra; itplaces those who fought to destroy theUnion on the same footing with those whofought to save the Union, and who did savsit from destruction by traitors. Nay, more.This new Presidential scheme restores therebels at once to a perfect equality withthose who were loyal to the Governmentit utterly ignores the character of the strug-gle through which the country has passed,and virtually admits that no wrong had beencommitted by the rebels, and hence no needof punishing traitors nor of muking "treasonodious." Such being the character of thisnew reconstruction plan of President John-son, it is but natural that every truly' loyalheart should instinctively turn from it andseek safety in the fidelty of Congress. Then,let the people heartily sustain their repre-sentatives in Congress, and all will be well'the Union will be preserved, and traitorswill be punishtiL

Tlie terms of the contract resulting in theelection of Garrett Davis in Kentucky,havebeen disclosed. The rebel Legislature agreedto vote for Davis with the understandingthat the Conservatives should support anactive rebel for the next Governor, and thatrebels should be run for Congress fa all Con-servative Districts of the State.

It is reported that Gov. Curtin, and fam-ily, will sail for Europe about the end ofFebruary that he expects to be absentabout three months, and will extend his tripto Italy and that on his return he will te

at Bellefonte.

The Altoona Tribune has been enlargedto a seven column paper, and refitted withan entire new suit of type. It looks wellThe Tribune has always been a spicy and en-

tertaining sheet, and promises well for thefuture.

Gov. Geary has issued his warrant for theexecution of Alex. R. B.Wiley, of Luzernecounty, on Friday, the loth of March. Wi-ley was convicted of the murder of Alice Mc-Elw- ce

last May.

The meteorologists report the month ofJanuary the first in seventy years that haspassed by without a thaw. There was notthe sign of a thaw in the entire month.

President Johnson, on Feb. 5th. sent tothe Senate the nomination of M. A. Frankof Clearfield, as Assessor of the NineteenthPenn. a District

Uotes from Harrishnrg.

State Treasurer Kemble has advertised,

in accordance with the law just passed, for

a new loan of $23,000,000, to redeem the

over-du- e bonds of the State. There is little

doubt, the new loan will be promptly taken.

The Senate Railroad Committee have re-

ported the bill, restoring the charter of the

Connellsville railroad, with a negative re-

commendation. Its passage is doubtful.Most of the members of the legislature

visited Pittsburg last week, with a view of

visiting the several charitable institutions in

that citv and vicinity.

A general Railroad bill has been reported,and the impression gains strength that itwill become a law; yet there are reason to

apprehend that amendments will be forced

into it that will greatly restrict its usefulness.

The friends of the measure, however, are

endeavoring to pass it in the best shapepossible, and trust to the future Legislaturesto supply all deficiencies, and make the law

what it should be. That a large majorityof the people of the Commonwealth are infavor of a General Railroad law, no oneconversant with the history of the pastyear will deny. Senator Lowry, of Erie,in the course of debate in the Senate, re-

called the fact that Gov. Geary, early inthe canvass last year, pledged himself tosustain the measure; and, Mr. Lowry added,but for this declaration Gov. Geary wouldhave been .beaten fifty thousand a state-

ment which should be well considered bythose who aspire to future official positions.

Intimations are given that a bill will bebrought before the Legislature to repeal thelaw authorizing the election of District At-torneys by the people, and restoring the ap-

pointment of these officers to the AttorneyGeneral. Better change the Constitutionand make the Attorney General elective.

There are sinister rumors afloat to the ef-

fect that certain members of the Joint Com-

mittee appointed to investigate charges ofbribery and corruption, in connection withthe Senatorial election, attempted or actual-ly succeeded in turning their position there-

on to pecuniary account. Considering theeminent character and transparent unselfish-

ness of all the gentlemen serving on thatCommittee, we attach no importance tothese reports. But, would it not be singu-

lar if these inculpations should assume suchconsistency as to render it necessary or ex-

pedient to investigate the InvestigatingCommittee?

The Democrats Opposed to the Tariff.Mr. Bigham presented the following reso

lutions in the Senate on February 4th, i :

Whereas, the House of Representativesof the Thirty-nint- h Congress at its first ses-

sion passed a bill imposing duties upon for-eign goods, wares and merchandise import-ed into the United States, and also securingincreased protection to our industrial, man-ufacturing and mining interests;

And ichcreax, The Senate of the UnitedStates has also within a few days passed thissame bill wieh sundry amendments thereto ;

And whereas, The Legislature of Penn-sylvania deems the passage of this bill as vi-

tal to all the interestsof this Commonwealth,and fears that further discussion of its de-

tails may endanger its final passage ; there-fore be it

Resolved by the Senate, and House of Rep-resentatives of Pennsylvania in GeneralAKSfimbfy:

That the members of the House of Repre-sentatives in Congress from Pennsylvania beearnestly requested to unite in passing thetariff bill in the form it came from the Sen-ate, trusting to future legislation to correcterrors, if such be found therein.

2. That if, in any possible contingency,this bill would hereafter come before bothbranches of Congress, that the Senators andRepresentatives in Congress from this Statebe earnestly requested to unanimously votefor the passage of this bill, as the best thatcan be secured to replenish the national treas-ury and protect the industrial interests ofPennsylvania.

Mr. Bigham explained the necessity ofthe immediate passage of the joint resolu-tion in order to secure the- - passage of theTariff bill by the present Congress.

Mr. Searight (Democrat) spoke againstthe passage of the bill, and desired to havehis vote on the record against the measure.

On the question.Shall the joint resolutionpass ?

The yeas and nays wer required by Mr.Graham and Mr. Taylor, and were as fol-

lows, viz:Yeas Messrs. Bigham,Billingfelt,Brown,

(Mercer, ) Browne, (Lawrence,) Coleman,Connell, Cowles, Fisher, Graham, Haines,Landon, Lowry, M'Conaughy, Shoemaker,Stutzman, Taylor, White, Worthington andHall, Spealer 15:

Nays Messrs. Davis. Donovan, Glatz,Jackson, James, Randall, Schall, Searinht.andWalls-- 9.

So the question was determined in the af-

firmative.Here we have tho name of every Repub-

lican Senator present voting in favor of theTariff bill, whilst every Democratic Senatorpresent voted against the protection ofAmerican industry. We deem furthercomment unnecessary.

. .A Sad Accident. We learn from the

Pittsburg Dispatch that a boy named Pat-rick Gillen, aged nine years who residedwith his mother at Gallitzin, was killed, onSaturday, Feb. 2d, by a train going castHis body was firss found fast in the brakes,a short distance from Bennington, andwas almost torn in nieces: his sled anda pair of mittens were found where the trainhad stopped, at Gallitzin. It is supposedthat he had got upon the train for the pur-pose of getting coal, and of hauling it onhis sled, as he had beenseen doing this atdifferent times before. No person, however, observed mm getting on the train oathis occasion.

"Washington City Gossip.

Some merriment was created in the House,the other day, by Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, whorose to a personal explanation, in regard toa statement published in the CincinnatiCommeraial, that he had consulted Butlerand Stevens and others on the resolution in-

troduced by him some time since, proposingto investigate the conduct of high officers ofthe Government, charged with misdemean-ors the article also representing that, in aconversation with Mr. Bingham, he(Ashly)had said that the resolution was intended toreach Gen. Grant. The reading of the article created a great deal of amusement, es-

pecially that portion wherein 31 r. Binghamis represented as denouncing Ashley as afool. Some of the Democrats then wantedMr. Bingham also to make an explanation,but that gentleman, amid much laughter,replied he had nothing to say ; and there thematter dropped.

The politicians begin to talk of the organ-ization of the Fortieth Congress. Colfaxwill be Speaker again, and McPherson willbe Clerk. The House can't do better. No-body is spoken of but Colfax for Speaker,and it would not surprise me if the Demo-crats made no nomination against him. 1hear of one or two men who would like tobe Clerk, but "they can't come in." Mc-

Pherson is capable, honest, and thoroughlyreliable and radical.

The Indian Appropriation Bill was pas-sed, with but one amendment, and that wasto prohibit Gov. Alex. Cummingsfrom dis-

bursing any moneys as Indian Agent in Col-

orado.The President has signed an important

bill relating to habeas corpus. It providesthat the several courts of the United State,and the several Justices and J udges of suchcourts within their respective jurisdiction,in addition to the authority already confer-red by law, shall have power to grant writs,of habeas corpus in all cases where any per-

son may be restrained of his liberty in vio-

lation of the Constitution or of any treatyor law of the United States, and it shall belawful for such person so restrained of hisliberty to apply to either of said judges fora writ of habeas corpus, and if any personto whom such writ of habeas corpus may bedirected shall refuse to obey the same orshall neglect or refuse to make return there-to, in addition to the remedies already givenby law, he or they shall be deemed and ta-

ken to be guilty of a misdeuieanor,and shall,on conviction before any court of competentjurisdiction, be punished by fine not exceed-ing one thousand dollars and by imprison-ment not exceeding one 3rear, or by either,according to the nature and aggravation ofthe case.

It is believed to be a fact, that of all thedistinguished and able army officers whohave been summoned to V ashmgton, notone of them favors the President s policy,though all of them were reckoned as"conservatives." To secure the fruits ofthe war. their verdict is, nothing less thanthe Constitutional Amendment should bethought of.

It is believed that a sufficient number ofreturned rebels have been registered inGeorgetown ' to defeat the Union ticket inthe coming election there, but Congresswill interfere with its shield and buckler before the wrong is perfected.

It is known to persons resident here,though, perhaps, net to the country gener-ally, that John H. Surratt had a brotherIsaac, who was in the rebel army during thewar. It has just come to light that thisbrother went to Mexico immediately after

ll of Richmond. Nothing wasknown of him till October, 18fi5, when Gen.Sheridan, then as now, at New Orleans,learned that he had appeared in Monterey,and crossed into Texas with the avowed in-

tention of coming to Washington to assassinate the President General Steele, incommand on the frontier, very soon confirm-ed this intelligence ; and Secretary Stantonthereupon felt justified in placing a guardabout ti,e White House, which- - was keptthere for some time. No intimation of thematter was given to the President, as it wasfeared that he would refuse such protection,lie finally got an idea into his head that theguards were detecti ves,amlflalled the Secreta-ry to account iu violent language. This led toexplanations, and the subsequent withdrawalof the guards.

The attempt to galvanize the Democraticparty by the old Copperheads in this vicini-ty has created quite an indignant protect.and the National Intelliaeuce.r, speaking inthe interests of the secessionists, is furiousat the suggestion of a Democratic NationalConvention. Col. Florence, of the Consti-tutional Union, is very anxious for the re-suscitation of t he old Democracy ; whereasthe Intelligencer and its school regard theproposal simply as a preparation for a con-tinuous funeral. In tact all the signs indi-cate that every attempt to make an organization against the Republicans in ISfitf willbe a distnai failure. There is no surer siirnof this than the cosfessions of the ex-rebe- ls

now in Washington, and the fact that theirfriends are everywhere giving up AndrewJohnson in despair. The evident indisposi-tion of the Senate to confirm Republicanswno nave taKen office trom Andrew John-son, en the plea of assisting to break uptheir own party, meets with warm approvalfrom the rank and file of the Republican or-ganization.

Senator Wilson submitted to the Senatea communication from the Secretary of War,transmitting from General Grant the planproposed by Col. Barker, of his staff, forestablishing permanent peace with the In-dians. It proposes, first, the transfer of themanagement of Indian affairs to the WarDepartment for many reasons, among whichis the necessity of abolishing the tradingagency system. Second, the establishmentof territorial governmet8 for Indians.Third, the appointment of an inspectionboard as a temporary measure to examineaccount of Indian agents and inspect goodsand agricultural implements furnished In-dians. Fourth, a commission consisting ofwhites and educated Indians to visit alltribes, hold talks with them, show them thebenefits of permanent peace, and the aban-donment of nomadio- - life, the adoption ofagricultural pursuits, and of consolidatingin one territory. It can never adopt thepolicy of a total extermination of the Indianrace without a cost of untold treasure andlives of her people, besides exposing to theabhorrence and censure of the entire civil-ized world. Maj. Gen. Pope has written aletter to Gen. Grant in favor of the transferof the Indian- - Bureau to the War Depart-ment.

It is announced as a piece of very pleas-ing intcBigcncei in a Richmond paper, thatGen. Sheridatt's refusal to allow a great pa- -

radejof funeral honors at the burial of A.S. Johnston's remaius, is "severely censur-ed by many at the North, as wholly incon-sistent with either the sentiment of chival-ry and humanity." Very likely this is so.Many things that General Sheridan has donewithin the past years, have been severelycensured by the same class of persons. Vir-ginia was overrun with reports of his wildpranks. And these persons at the Northwho now ensure him thought his operationsthen inconsistent with chivalry and human-ity.

The free traders are in a fury over the tar-iff bill that has passed the Senate, and willmake every effort to kill it in the House ;

but its friends are very sanguine. Mr. Fes-send-on

and Mr. Wells earnestly favor itspassage. The National Intelligencer assailsit, of course ; but it does not therefore, fol-

low that the President will veto it Its ag-

gregate provisions are supposed to be veryacceptable to the Secretary of the Treasury.

It is stated on high authority that Baker,the detective, in his testimony before theJudiciary Committee, in the impeachmentmatter, said he had once in his possession aletter written by Andrew Johnson, whenMilitary Governor of Tennessee, addressedto Jeff. Davis, offering to identify himselfand Tennessee with the Southern Confeder-acy on certain terms ; that being doubtfulof the genuineness of the signature to theletter, he (Baker) showed the signature tothe President's Private Secretary, who pos-itively identified the handwriting.

The Nebraska bill was passed over thePresident's veto, in the Senate, without aword of debate, by a vote of 31 to 9 ; andin the House, by 1 20 to 44. The State is tobe admitted by Presidential proclamationso soon as the Territorial Legislature shallhave ratified the fundamental condition ofuniversal suffrage.. The petition sent to the President by Ken-tucky Democrats, asking for the pardon ofJohn C. Breckinridge and permission forhim to return to this country, and the nom-ination by Democrats of Ballard county ofthat distinguished conspirator for Governorof the State, are two significant politicalitems, going to show what are the designsof the rebels and the use they seek to makeof the President in executing them. Itwould he difficult to name a man more guiltythan Breckinridge, and it is , precisely forthe part he took that the Democratic partywould confer upon him tic highest honorsof the State. Not only does the movement-betra-

a feeling dangerous to the Union butan audacity equal to anything connected withthe rebellion itself : and it should le regard-ed as one of the things that sharply instructCongress in its duty.

The new organization of theMilitary agency of Pennsylvania, under the instructionsof Gov. Geary, bids fair to be most effective.
