What a Soldier Saws.

Gen. Phil H. Sheridan. who is on the
Western frontier, ,telegraphed to Gen. Chas
H. T. Coils, of Philadelphia under date of
Fort Harker, Kansas, Sept 30th, 1868, :"
as follows:
Say to the Boys in Blue that it is as es-
sential to have a political victory this fall as
it was TO have all Appomattox in 1865. and
that every man who loves his country should
vote for Grant
This is the advice of true and tried sol
dier, and plainly indicates that the election
of Seymour and Blair would be the worst
calamity that could befail our people, and
hence he says that every man who loves
. his county should vote for Grant" Let
every patriot consider the words of little
Phil prayerfully. and then go to the polls
on Tuesday next and cast his ballot for Hart
ranft and Campbell, the faithful soldier
candidates

''WHAT HAVE l DoNE?"-Ask your
self, Republican "What have done
for my cause and my principles
''What have | done TO secure peace and
a government of law 2" ''What have L
done to carry forward the work for
which half million of men have given
their lives = .What have | done to
secure loyal rule, order and prosperity
to my State?'' Let every Republican
ask himself these question. And if
any one feels that he has not done his
echote d'ay-his duty to his cause, to
his State, his country, and his God
now is the time to repair the error.
Begin at oncei Resolve that from this
time until the election you will give at
least two hours every day to the high
est duty of a citizen.

brief, but very happy and effective speech.
He was voc:ferously applauded at every sar-
castle thrust he made at the opposition
leaders.
1t having become known late in the at
ternoon that the Hon. Geo. r. Barrett had
Withdrawn from the contest for the Presi-
dent JudgesLip of this district, Mr.. Swoope
announced the fact at the evening meeting,
whereuy Jon the assembled multitude nomi-
mated by .acclamation the Hon. JOSEPH b.
MENALLY, as their candidate for that po-
sition.
Upon the whole this was the most grand,
agreeable, and effective political demonstra-
ton that ever took place in Clearfeld county
exceeding everything of the kind both in
numbers and enthusiasm. And, We hope,
shat great good may result ther, from.
At about 10 o'clock the meeting adjourn
ed with three cheers for the Republican can
didates-both National and State-and three
for the speakers After which the people
quietly dispersed to their homes, well pleas
ed with all they saw and heard, and with a
determination to do their whole duty on
Tuesday next for Hartranft and Campbell
and our whole county ticket.

THE WAY To Do IT.-Here and there
We find man who saws he intends to
vote for Grant and Colfax in Novem-
Der who is in doubt how he will vote, if
at all, in October. All men who are in
earnest TO secure the election of Grant
and Colfax ought to understand that
they can help forward that consumma-
tion in no way so much as by voting
for Hartranft and Campbell Oh Tues
day next. A decidedly handsome ma
jority for the Republican candidates at
the State election will carry the Presi-
Dental issue with rush, not only III
Pennsylvania, but throughout the T.
Mon. Then, vote right in October.

Philadelphia Naturalization Frauds
James K. SnOwden. the Clerk of the Supreme
Court, Implicated

James r. Snowden, the Clerk of the Supreme
Court, implicated.
Astonishing discoveries of the frauds prac-
ticed in the Supreme Court have come to
light. One Of the recently naturaIized per-
sons py this court was arrested on Sunday
last, charged with some crime, and on
searching his person twelve natural zaticn
papers We're found, signed by James r. Snow
den, clerk of the Supreme Court, with the
seal OF the Court attached. These papers
were exhibited to Mr. Snowden on Saturday
IN open Court, when he stated to the iud- e
ges that the signature looked like his own
but did not believe them to be genuine
These twelve papers found on the person ar
rested are OF the same size. style OF paper
&c, as those used by the clerk of the Su-
preme Coura, and were ready to be filed up
with any person name who might want
them.
Two of the many who have been acting as
professional vouchers have been arrested
and are held for trial on the charge of per
jury. One James A. Watson voucl ed for
thirty one, aud Ernest Gentner for sixteen
both these men are' under bonds to appear
at court. Thirteen hundred and ten na;-
uraliZatlon paI ers have been issued bv this
court within month, OF which a record has
been kept, and the largest number Of them
were youched for by men who loaf around
the court house and swear for pay. How
many OF these blank papers, with the name
of James r. Snowden and the seal of that
court attached, are in existence, cannot by
any possibility be ascertained, but in view
OF the giaring frands, which are now being
exposed, as having been practised by-this
court, it would be well for the election off
GERS to reject all the papers Issued by this
court. .-Harrisdug Telegraph

THE PEOPLE of Clearfeld county
should bear in mind, that the last term
of our Court opened on Monday morn
ing, instead of on Tuesday, as hereto
fore; thereby gaining one day in the
transacting of business, and saving
hundreds of dollars to the taxpayers,
and large sums to those who had to at
tend Court. The election of Judge
Nj Enally, on Tuesday next, would Sc
cure this saving for ten years to come.
Let all remember these facts

The Democracy and the Jews.

The Democratic leaders having failed to
embitter the Jews against Gen Grant, on
account of what they term the jew order, -
issued by the Adjutant- G General of the army
of the Cumberland during the war, they
changed their tactics, and, under pretence
of great love for that class ofour naturalized
citizens, placed several of them in high po-
sitions in their party organizations For in
stance: the Chairman of their National
Committee, August Belmont, Esq, and
their candidate for President Judge in this
Judicial District, Charles A. Mayer, Esq,
both are Jews. But, notwithstanding the
selection of a few Of them to positions of
prominence in their party, majority of the
Jews throughout the country are working
zealously for Grant and Colfax.

display-the largest, most orderly, and most
regularly conducted torch light parade ever
witnessed IN this place. In fact, the Boys
marched off nearly as steady as they were
wont to do while under their great leader
during the rebellion. Onreaching the speak
ers stand, they formed in regular lines along
its front, in the street. This was the signal
for the re-assembling of the people in that
locality. The meeting was then called to

Hon. g. W. ScoFIELD
Proceeded with his Iemarks-commencin
where he had left off at the adjournment in
the afternoon. Mr. Scofeld' remarks were
plain and practical. as well as rointed He
briefly reviewed the doings of Congress du
ring the last four years, and plainly demon
strated that the Democrats in that body were
then opposed to every measure that tended
to restore the rebel States to their relations
with the National Government and give
peace to that long distracted people, and that
the same men are now lnstigating another
outbreak and war in the Southern States of
this Union. Mr.. Scofeld' s speech was high

THE TAXPAYERS of Clearfeld cour

THE TAXPAYERS of Clearfield coun-
ty should remember, the Jurors wages
alone amount to orer one hundred and
t5rty doUars dry. If the Court
does not meet until Tuesday, as in the
past years, on account of the Presi-
dent Judge living in distant county,
they lose that amount every term, be-
sides the pay of Justices of the Peace,
Constables and Tipstaves, who are
required to attend at the same time
The election of Mr.. MEnally would
save that sum to the people, for the
next ten years.
