pay~Tho Merchants of our county will
please bear in mind the fact that the last
Legislature so changed the Liceuse law,
that the county Treasurer is compelled to
bring suits against all dealers who do not
lift Aeir License before the 10Th OF July,
in each and every year.
bsy~Wo would like to know if the gem
tlemen composing the "RepuJlcan county
Committee" of Clearfeld county; sust2in
any relation TO the members of tho "PeO.
ple's State CunmiR-r" 1t looks as though
the Abolition child was to have two names,
like most rogues doing BUSINESS in diff.
erent localities.
reY~It is now being demonstrated by
the reports and speeches of Col. Van
Wyck, wounded at Fair Oaks, while at
the head of his regim ent, and Mr. Dawes
both first class Republicans, that the 'Bu'
chanAn dynasty administered all the af
fairs OF government with less money per
year than the s,ealings amount to ander
the present regime. Strange but true
gayS Some Of our exchanges complain
bitterly in reference TO tho bill ntrodE-
ced into the U. S. Senate, to abolish the
office of Marshall, in the District of Col
umbia, hotaing that it would be uncon.
stitutonal. This may be so, but we must
consider ourselves safe if the present Con-
gress does not pass an act to abolish the
Constitution itself.
s4rGen. Boyle in command oftho I'm.
ion Forces in Kentucky has ordered the>
prov. NJ arshall Of Louisville to fit dp hous
seS in proper manner for the imprison.
mcnt of rebel females who do or FAY any
firing to ihcite rebellion. This is an im>
proyement upon the Butler New Orleans
pan of dealing with rebel women, as it
confines them to closer quarters.

bSS~ Hon r. NJ. Palmer, late U. S. Min
lister to the Argentine Confederation, died
at sea on the 26th OF April last, while on
his voyage home. Mr.. Palmer was ma
tive Of New Jersey but for q number of
years has been resident of Schuylk:ll
from which he was elected State
Senator in 1858, and was electe speaker
of that body in 1860, and in 1861 he slre'
ceeded the Hon. Charles r. Buckalew in
the above position.
BD'The l3 Regiments Pennsylvania
Reserve under Gen Mccall. 10000 strong
formerly in Gen. McDowell's division
have all arrived before Richmond. Ii is
said another Division is to follow imme'
diately while Gen. Pope, with all the for.
ces in the Shenandoah valley, aud West
~n Virginia, to press lis way through to
Richmond from Harrisonburg.
1t is thus very reasonable to suppose
that there will be no attack made by Gen,
Mcclellan, until Gen. Pope thunders at
the Northern gate of the rebel Capital.
Ben-A SUBSCRIBER requests rs that when
we write about the expenditures of the
Administration and the appropriations
made Iy Congress not to use figures but
to write it out at length, that the sums
are so great that With his limited educa-
ton Ire is unable to heal with more than
Elk figures in a row, and when it exceeds
nine he is totally lost.
Wewill try and accommodate our friend
in this particular, if We do not get in too
much of a hurry, he has probably mere
tisae to read than we have to write, IT
takes US o good while to write one billion,
three hundred and ter million, four Eun>
dred and twenty thousand, three hum
dred and ten Dollars and 90 nts(St,3l0,-
420,3I0. 20.) Which is about what "Un.
Gle Sam" will have charged against him
by the first of June, 1868, under the en-
lightened and humane policy of the pres.
ent Administration.
