Reckiessuess Of Human Life-The Ferry

Reckiessuess Of Human Lifc-The Ferry
boats.
1t is gratifying 10 see that the pulpit has
responded to the appeal of the HERALD in
favor of correcting the prevalent alarming
recklessness of human life. The eloquent
sermon of Rev. DR.. Taylor, which we recently
published, proclaims with no uncertain sound
the solemn duty declared by the sixth CON-
mandment-" Thou shalt not kill" 1t echoes
the awful voice of authority whose accents
shook Sinai three thousand years ago. 1t
ailudes with thrilling effect to the tales of
blood in every daily newspaper. Assassina-
ton, murder and suicide-words at which
our blood once ran cold-have become so
frequent that our ears are in danger Of be-
coming familarized with them. The preacher
asks (" Is it not time to ring the loud alarm, to
let the warning thunder Of Gods law be heard,
that mems conscences may be aroused as from
deathlike trance, before blood shall cry out
from the ground to heaven against usw There
can be but one answer to this question. When
poison, the dagger, the pistol the airgun, the
pitchfork the club, the doubled fist and the
rope are daily used with deadly intent; when
unerring statistics reveal the startling fact that
"we have had about two hundred suicides in
the year." that suicide in New York is one in
seven thousand-twice as many as in Prussia
and seven times as many as in Russia
and when 80 many fall victims to the
culpable carelessness which fatally mixes the
wrong medicine at the druggists shop, which
sends rotten steamers to sea to break upon a
wild shore on frosty morning, which causes
explosions on our rivers and so-called "acc-
dents on our railways, and which provides
our crowded ferryboats with no effectual means
of preserving life against either fire or food,
we may well call upon the press and the pulpit
to unite against an evil OF dreadful growth.
One remedy, at least, should be applied at
once The ferry5oats which continually ply
between this city and the populous towns in
its vicinity should be amply furnished with the
most effectual means of saving life. 1t should
be made impossible for another ferryboat to
burn without having on board any fire appa-
ratus or any facilities for extinguishing fire.
Perhaps the best security against watery
death, in case of collision or other accident
that might sink a ferryboat would be gutta
percha cylinder with compartments filed with
air surrounding the framework of the upper
decks of the ferryboats, and attached to staples
so as to be easily cast of, and there should be
communication by several ladders from the
cabins to the upper deck The public must
insist upon it that the terryboat companies
shall not wait to provide the necessary means
for saving life until some two or three hundred
passengers shall have been hurried into
eternity for want of them.

8n,o,,ef 10 Mr.. Wallace.

The Hon. VIM. A. Wallace was the
recipient of a magnificent Banquet at
the hands Of the Democracy of Phila-
delphia, at the Continental Hotel in
that city, on the 9th ult.
This testimonial, as the committee
state, is in token of their high appre-
ciation of his services as Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee and for the excellent manner
in which he managed the late canvass.
Mr.. Wallace may indeed be proud
while being banqueted and entertained
by such eminent Democrats and
worthy gentlemen as Col Page, Col.
Patterson, Hon. H. NJ. Phillips, Ex-
Mayor Vaux, John o. James, Esq, and
several hundred of their associates
Not having received copy Of Mr.
Wallace's speech until Friday even
ing, il was impossible for us to publish
it this week, but will do 80 in our
next. This is beyond question the
ablest effort of his life, and shows that
he is qualified for any public station in
the gift of the people The Democra
cy of Clearfeld are justified and feel
proud in seeing their neighbor and
fellow-.itizen, thus honored by the
leading Democrats of the gay Metrop-
oils.

The proceedings of the Rump 60 70
show that the currency question,
although founded on a loyal basis,
controlled by its special advocates,
and in existence for more than FIVE
years, is nevertheless rs unsettled as
the restless ocean. Stevens, Butler,
and others of that class, howl for
repudiation, aud are determined to
assassinate their own offspring, un-
natural as it may seem. These men
exhibit as little practical sense upon
this vital question as school boys, and
yet they are sent to Congress by "the
wealth and intelligence" Of the coun-
try, to discharge the duties Of states
men. The financial policy of these
loyal imbeciles is as outrageous and
distressing as their attempt to govern
the country. The leaders OF the
Black Republican party, with all their
failures, have still accomplished some
thing. They have abolished slavery
in its mildest form, which held four
millions of negroes in reasonable sub
lection, but re adopted it in its most
hideeus form over twelve millions,
and charged the people three thou
sand millions of dollars, slaughtered
half a million of freemen, made an
equal number Of widows and orphans,
manned for life two hundred thousand
of their neighbors, and destroyed the
union and harmony of these States.
These freebooters are perfect in their
work of destruction, but mere shysters
so far as practical good is concerned.
Mighty in tearing down, but pigmies
in building up.
A glance at the Rump proceedings
will show the unsettled state of the
minds Of the members with reference
to our national finances.

Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1867-12-05

Tho fourth. aud only legal session
of the Rump Congress, commenced on
Monday the 2d instant We continue
TO call Il a "Rump," for the want Of
a more comprehensive phrase to in
dicate It's real character, seeing that
il no more represents the feelings or
wishes of the people Of the United
States, than the Long (Rump) Parlia-
ment, in Oliver Cromwells time, rep
resented the feelings and wishes Of
the people of England.
Nevertheless, s,--ifthere are any per.
sons among us who demur TO the ap-
pellation, we shall be much obliged to
them, If they will tell us what sort OF
a Congress this is, If not "Rump."
IL certainly is not a Congress Of the
United States, within the meaning Of
tho Constitution, because on referring
10 that instrument, we find, at the
very start, (Article lst, Section 2d) :
"The House Of Representatives SHALL BE com
posed Of members chosen every second year by the
People Of the several statcs.'
This provision, it will be observed,
is mandatory, not tpermissory-sHALL,
not MAY be.
Now applying tho test, how does
tho "Rump' stand F! Is it composed
of members chosen by the People OF
the seve raj States Z II so, how comes
il that there is not a single Represen-
tative from Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas
The Constitution says Representa-
tives SHALL be chosen by the "the
People of the several States shat is,
not exclusively by the People Of New
England--not exclusively by the Rad
ical party-but by the several, that
is, all the States.
Applying that test 10 the Rump'

A fatality seems to have overtaken
political clergyman lately. Murder,
seduction and bigamy-the highest
crimes in the catalogue-seem to be
peculiarly adapted to their tastes. To
the names Of Kalloch, Howe, Wendt
and Stewart, the criminal records now
add Green.
Tho "Rev. W. II. Green" who has
just been convicted, in Litchfeld,
Conn, of the murder Of his wife, by
poison, is a representative of a class
Of "reverends" that has lately become
quite large. Three years ago Green
appeared in Western New York, as a
Methodist preacher, under the name
of Rev. George W. Long. In two
weeks he married a respectable girl
of the neighborhood, and then began
to borrow money. When no could
not borrow any more, he ran away
from his creditors and his wife, and
appeared soon after at Utica as the
Rev. W. II. Green, a preacher and n
temperance lecturer. He hired a mis-.
cradle drunkard to personate the ha-
bitual sot, and went round the country
lecturing on temperance. In Deoem-
Der last he married a Mrs. Series, in
Chenango county, N. Y, and soon
after made his debut in West Corn
wall, Conn, as a refugee from Texas.
Five months after his second marriage
his wife died, and in five weeks after
that he married a chambermaid at a
hotel in Utica. Suspicion was aroused,
the body of his second wife was dis
inferred, and, on the stomach being
examined, quantity of arsenic was
discovered The murderer was ar
rested, tried and convicted, and will
probably suffer death. After his arrest
he made two attempts TO commit sui
eide in his cell When we add that
he was employed by the Republicans
Of Litchfeld county, Conn, TO deliver
loyal speeches, and that he did stump
a part of Connecticut last year for the
Black Republican party, we have said
enough to show what manner Of man
the "Rev. W II. Green" is.-1Hctr0-
