THE RAFTsmAM's JouRmAl.
The Armed Traitors of Maryland.

The Washington. Chronicle reveals start
ling condition of affairs in Maryland, well
calculated to arouse the serious apprehen-
sion of every lover of the country for its
future peace There is no denying the fact
that the rebels of Maryland, including hun
dreds OF vagabonds from Virginia and the
Carolinas, who once served in the rebel ar
mics, are now being organized into what is
called Maryland State Militia for no other
purpose than that of backing Andrew
johnson in reasonable plot to prevent the
re-assembling of Congress. Special tele-
graphic dispatches from Washington inform
the public that Andrew johnson would
await the result of the elections on the Sth
of October before proceeding to further ac-
ton on the subject of reconstruction. Ii
Pennsylvania and the other States which
elect ON the Sth of October give Copper
head majorities, Mr.. johnson declares he
will accept the result as an endorsement of
his policy; that he will resist the action of
Congress, and if needs be disperse the
members thereof as a revolutionary and IL
legally organized body. The Washington
Chron,cle shows that the Maryland Militia
is composed of rebels, and proves that there
is no doubt Gov Swami intends to place
this military force at the disposal of the
President in preventing Congress to re-as-
semble. These are grave and startling facts.
We ask the people of Pennsylvania to pom
der them well. The element which Mr..
johnson now aims at using to prevent the
assembling of Congress is composed Of the
same men who waited in the city Of Balti-
more to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, while
on his way to Washington to be inaugurated
President for the first term-the same men
who assaied the volunteers of Pennsylva-
MIA and Massachusetts when they marched
through Baltimore to the defense of the ma
tional capital Prompt action at the ballot
box in Pennsylvania may render it unneces-
sary for our fellow citizens to march again
through Baltimore to the defense of the ma
tional capital against the assaults of traitors
This is a serious fact. We urge it home on
the attention of every voter in the State.
Andrew johnson himself has declared that
Republican majorities only can deter him
from resisting the representatives of the
people from assembling, and prevent him
from destroying the peoples government.

Communication.

10 THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS, TEACHERS
AND CITIZENS OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY II
deem IL my duty, to the county, to expose
the unfair and illegal manner in which the
committee, appointed last January, by the
Directors Convention, to examine common
school Text Books, and report uniform Sc
rics, performed that duty The Committee
consisted OF two ladies and three men, who
met in Clearfeld, on Sept. 2lst, with the
understanding that when any three members
voted for the same text book it should be
the book adopted
This rule held good, in all but three cases,
as follows:
When the Chairman called for the vote
on Penmanshlp, three voted for Potter Il
Hammond 8, and two for Payson, Dunton
Il Scribner's. A certain member of the
Committee was not satisfied with this vote,
and did not give up until one of the major
lty concluded to settle it by changing to the
minority; and the dissatisfied and defeated
member, constituting one of the minority
ruled the Committee.
When the Chairman called for vote on
Readers, three voted for Hillard' S. and two
for Parker & Watson's. This vote was op-
posed by the same member, who was not
willing to be ruled by the majority on Pen
manship, and complained until a member
was induced, by some unfair means, or other,
to change and vote to satisfy this obstinate
and selfish member.
And, when the vote on Arithmetic was
| taken, three voted for Stoddard S and two
for Brooks. On this, the member wi o
caused the difficulty in the above cases, was
in the minority, and would not be governed
accordingly.
The two members who voted for Brooks
| acknowledged that it was not on account of
any merit in the work; and they confessed
that it was not the best Arithmetic they
had examined. and had no objections TO
Stoddard work. So, there was not sin
gle vote cast in favor of Brooks, for any
| other than private personal reasons, And
must the interests of the county be sacrifc.
ed to crafty the pleasure of one or two in
dividuals? | hope our county is more alive
to its interests than to allow such thing to
pass
Allow me to say, in conclusion, that
hope the Directors will inquire into this
matter, and, when found to be as above sta
ted, appoint Committee composed of seven
directors, selected from seven districts, no
two of which shall lie contiguous to each
other, whose duty it shall be to examine
Books for adoption in common schools, and
recommend a uniform series, composed of
the most suitable books for the schools in
the county. Most respectfully,
ALFRED SHAW,
Member of CON- on Ex. of Text Books

Voters Remember !

That during the last year the first of Gov
Geary's term, the State debt has been re-
duced one million seven hundred and nine
ty-four thousand six hundred and forty four
Dollars and fifty cents! (S1,794, ,644, SOD
Further remember, that since the State has
been under Republican rule, embracing the
period and great cost of the war, the State
Debt has been reduced nearly or quite ten
millions of dollars. Also remember, that
while the State was in the hands of the Con-
perheads, the State Debt was each year
steadily increased, until it run up to over
forty millions of dollars. These are facts
which cannot be controvcrted

The Montana Election,

The splendid Democratic victory over
which the party has been exulting for some
time past, is dwindling down to little or
nothing. The actual returns shows that
the result is doubtful at the very worst for
the Republicans. Madison county, in which
Virginia City is situated, gave Mclean,
Copperhead, 533 majority in 1865. 1t gave
Saunders, Republican, 200 majority at the
late election. Jefferson comfy, which the
Cops carried in 1865 by eleven majority,
gives Saunders. Republican, 90 majority
this year.
