THE BooTH DIARY.-The daily pa.
pers last week published what pur-
ported to be the stoler portion Of
Booths Diary-so handsomely venti-
lated in the Rump Congress during the
Butler-Bngham controversy which
we noticed at the time. As tho same
thing appeared tn the Nei0 York Her
aid more than two years ago, it re.
veals but little now that was not
known then. 1t seems to have been
ordered by the President, aud is more
remarkable, it strikes US, from what
it conceals, than for what it commu-
nicates. 1t lets in not a ray of light
upon the conspiracy, which culminat-
ed in the assassination-that is 20 say
II there was any eonspiracy-above
and beyond what is already known.
The diary, as given to the public, tells
no secrets. But the valorous Butler
asks those who have had this pass
book in their keeping to also produce
the diamond breast pin taken from
Booths body at the same time the dia-
~ was taken The "Beast" has a
wonderful scent for iewelry, and the
only redeeming quality that yet sur.
rounds him, is, that he still insists that
all engaged in hanging Mrs Surratt
are murderers The New York Posi
regrets that the diary does nothing "a
clear up the plot for the capture o.
the President, which engaged Booth
and Others six months. 1t particular
ly emphasizes this expression in The
diary: awe had worked to capture
but our cause being almost lost, some
thing decisivea and great must be done.

Is ne Expected.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press reluctantly informs
the public, and tho "boys in blue in
particular, that the Secretary of War
has issued an order suspcnding the
payment Of additional or other boun-
ties to soldiers and their heirs, until
some appropriation for that purpose
is made by Congress, the funds al
ready appropriated being exhausted
As Congress will not in all probability
meet again until December, the sol
diers and their families must make
up their minds to bear some further
delay. This all arises from the fact
that the money in the Treasury is al
consumed by the increased pay tC
members Of Congress, heads and
clerks in the departments, and tc
keep up the Negro Bureau and mill
tary satraps in the South. The ono
BILE Stanton" is compelled to keep and
feed these blood-suclers to keep up
his reputation, but the "boys in blue
and the widows and orphans of sol
diers must wait for their just duoi
until the Rump meets again. Why
could not members Of the Rump anC

PRIMARY ELECTIoN.-The Demo
cratic primary election for this coun-
ty will be held this year on the 18th
day of July next, being the second
Saturday of the month. The print
er's fee for announcing the name OF
candidates and printing five thousand
tickets each, will be as follows, viz :
For Assembly, Sheriff and Treasurer,
$40 each Commissioner and District
Attorney, s. each; Auditor and Jury
Commissioner, So each. No name
will be published unless the fee ae-
companies the order. In our next
issue we will begin to announce the
names of candidates. A "military
necessity" compels us to adopt this
rule We hope Democrats in the
several boroughs and townships will
take interest enough in the matter to
send US the names of reliable and
active men from which to select q
vigilance committee.

GOVERNMENT REcEIPrs.-The re-
ceipts from customs are rather larger
than was estimated, but those from
internal revenue collections are very
small. There is TO be a general in
spection, by competent detectives, of
the returns made by the manuiac-
turing companies Of New England,
some of which are lamentably small
when compared with what has been
paid by the same Companies in years
past. As for the whiskey frauds, it
seems impossible to check thom, as is
demonstrated by the price at which
whiskey is sold, "tax paid"

We presume there are but few per-
sons, if any, who are aware Of the
amount of taxes assessed annually
in Clearfeld county. We have there
fore prepared a tabular statement,
which will be found in this Issue, show
ing the aggregate amount of tax in
each borough and township for 1867,
as well as the name of the collector.
This, however, only indicates the tax
on the seated and personal property.
1t will be observed by this table that
the aggregate Of the Duplicates
amounts to nearly fifty thousand dol
lars. The school tax amounts to over
forty thousand dollars-s2i,000 seat
ed and $4,000 unseated. The road
tax, twenty four thousand-sl6,6OO
seated and sI4OO unseated. The
bounty tax exceeds forty.six thousand
dollars-seatcd s31, ,374, unseated sl4

REQUEST REFUSED. Beast Butler,
about ten days ago, addressed note
to Miss Anna Surratt, soliciting pri-
vate interview with her in reference
to the assassination plot and the mur-
dcring OF her mother by Holt & Co.
The lady very promptly declined any
such interview, but informed the hero
of Fort Fisher, that she would meet
him in the presence of her Attorney
This the gallant Butler declined, and
thus the matter rests for the present
Miss Surratt had evidently read hi;
celebrated New Orleans order, and
therefore feared his presence.

The Reformation.

Tho Taxpayers ofour county are now
roaping a plentiful harvest Without
viewing matters in a moral light, tho
crimes that are being committed in
our midst, are truly alarming The
county prison is full Of violators of
the law, containing sometimes as high
as fifteen persons, charged with crimes
of every shade-from murder to pet
ty larceny. The two horse.thieves
Barber and Stevens-who stole two
horses near the Jefferson line several
weeks ago, (Which We noticed at the
time,) have been arrested, together
with a number Of their aecomplices,
and are now in our jail awaiting the
penalty Of the law. One of the ac-
completes states that if he would re-
veal the names of those in this and
in the adjoining counties who are
engaged in horse-stealing and burg
lares, the people would be astonished.
But as the leaders in this system Of
crime are well known bountyjump-
ers, and are following horse-stealing
for profit and pleasure, we can scarce
liy credit this allegation. If, on the
other hand, it should prove to be true,
we hope no citizen will assist in shield
ing them, let their positions in society
be what it may. AS the parties
charged with these high crimes will
be placed upon trial at the approach
ing June term, we refrain from saying
or doing anything to prejudice their
cases, but will pay especial attention
to them while undergoing judicial in
vestigation, and promptly notice any
squirming on the part of those en-
trusted with the vindication of the
law. The crime Of horse-steaing is
alarmingly on the increase-spread-
ing like fatal malady-and if not
checked by prompt enforcement Of
the law, it will literally lead to the
confscation of that species of proper
ty. A horse-thief soon graduates and
in the line of his profession becomes a
burglar, and in but one step more (ii
interfered WITH commits murder. A
sure and prompt vindieation Of the
law is the only preventative Of crime,
