Stewards Letter.
The following is Mr.. Stewards letter
r. tbs presidant of thu ITnited States.

The following is Mr.. Stewards letter !:
To the President of the United States;
DEAR SIRl Approaching the high
honor conferred by your nomination and
the unanimous confirmation by the SEN
ate, of myself, to the Office of Secretary
of the Treasury, l regret that circum-
stances beyond our control compel me
to decline 411
Could the difficulties presented by the
provisions of the act of 1889, which, in
organizing the Department of the Treas
ury prohibit the Secretary from being
directly or indirectly concerned or inter
ssted in carrying on the business OF trade
or commerce, be overcome by any rea.
sonable sacrifice personal to myself, |
would willingly make it. would
promptly transfer to the hands of gentle
men in whom the public have full conf
dence, every interest, in the gains and
profits, that could possibly accrue to
myself In the business OF my house
during my official term, TO be applied to
such public charities as their judgment
should dictate, and have prepared and
sought by the execution of appropriate
instru ments to accomplish that end, but
serious differences of opinion have been
expressed So to whether that course would
satisfy the requirements Of the law,
although will bot hesitate to make this
a transfer, provided it would enable me
to accept the Office, and thus unite my
efforts With your own aud other members
Of your 0abinst in restoring economy
and strict frugality in the administration
of this Government, and lift as rapidly
as possible from the people the great
burdens Of taxation, debt and extrava-
gance resting on them yet the business
relations Of my firm is in its connections
With others largely interested in their
coptinlspee, and al such they can not be
severed summarily, nor can my interest
in it be wholly and absolutely disposed
without producing great embarrassment
and loss TO those with whom have been
connected. / cannot consent 10 enter
upon the administration OF laws by an
act OF course that can be construed into
a disregard Of violation Of Law, and
while, therefore, ] regret She plan pro-
posed is deemed inadequate to relieve
ulc lEpm ICtSt huus % ~ cCNhc w uIct
technical disabilities, | yield to the bet
ter judgement of others rather than
seem to be willing TO accept position in
disrespect Of Law. IL finally renewing a
declaration which was rendered at the
outset of these objections, / repeat to
you, Mr.. President, my thanks for the
honor done me in offering this high posi
ton, and assure you that you will have
my earnest efforts to sustain your ad.
minis,ration in carrying out the sure and
salutsry measures indicated by you il
entering upon your Office.
Sincerely your friend,

THE Buffalo Express says that zeal
, Gus Democratic citizen of Buffalo, who in
termingles politics with the dispensation of
congenial beverages, lately got into trouble
with the inquisitive officers of Uncle Sam
uefs revenue department by conducting hi.
| trfiac in neglect of the formaity of Gov
ernment license. He was placed under
arrest and taken before the grand jury of
the United State. District Court at Albany,
where, in default of bail, he was committed
to the Albany Jail. Yesterday 4 letter was
received from the gentleman by some of
his friends here, in which, after sundry bus
mess directions and details, he exultingy ex-
| claims "Ihey are erery one Democrats
4" this jail-sheriff, jailor, prisoners and
all So our fellow citizen is comfortable
and happy in the society of his political
friends, as he would no doubt equally be in
any other Jail within the State.

Col. JOHN LAwsHE, was doubtless the
choice of the Clearfeld county Democracy

not be pliable enough to answer the ambi-
tious purposes of Mr.. w. A. allace, the
fragrant William managed to have'J ohnny
Hall, pet of his in Elk county, nominated
for the position. The object of Hall nom
ination is so transparent that the respecta-
bic portion OF the party are determined to
resent the outrage, and it is accordingly an
nounced that Dr. Early will be in the field
as an independent candidate. This, in turn,
has stirred ~ the bile and wrath of the
'coffee-pot" branch of the party to an a.
mazing degree, and our neighbor Of the Re
publican has opened up a terrific fire upon
the offending Doctor, and threatens to ode
''velope and dissect his political career in
''such manner as will neither prove creditable

tor will do, with these dark clouds lower

but we immagine he is too old rooster"

time trying to get back to the State Senate.

THE following paragraph is taken from
the st Mary's (Democratic) Gazette, of
September 9th;
THE LEGISLATIVE QUESTION This
qaotStio Uccuta must be settled by the peo-
pie. To them belongs the privilege of de-
Gliding whether they, or a few maIcontents
are to name the candidate for Assembly
from this District.
The quarrel in this county was not sought
by the candidates at the head OF our col
umns by the delegates who nominated them
nor by the Democratic citizens who elected
those delegates
1t was hoped that before this time the
minority would have yielded their preten-
sions, and submit; but the determination
too carry out the Ridgway ring is too apparent,
since the Tonestd Conference; and there
fore, as the organ of the Democracy of Elk
county We have but one mode left to vindi-
cate the party. and compel the cliques aud
rings seeking to control it, Jorerer to quit
their mad attempts at disorganization. Con
tident of the rectitude of our course. we
hereby announce the Hon. Charles r. Ear
ley, of Elk, as an Independent Democratic
Candidate for Assembly, and pledge the
overwhelming vote OF the county to him. "

PACKER has been interviewed An en-
terprising reporterof the New York Sun,
has been on pilgrimage to Mauch Chunk
to see ''the golden calf. has heard its bleat-
ings. and duly recorded them, with much
additional matter of his own, In two coldmns
of solid type. He thus goes into eztacies
over the home OF the twenty millions
"Whi!e the home is in Mauch Chunk, it is
distinct from Mauch Chunk-as distinct
from the town as the green oasis on the
broad, sandy plains of Sahara, is from the
desert itself. The home IS the abode Of ele-
gdnce, refinement, turuJy and ease. 1t
monopolizes commanding point on the hill

other works of art IS1is is the home Of ASd
Packer, located in the town of the coal
miners, yet contrasting in every respect SO
conspicuously with the homes adjoining and

family lives.
Yes, the family lives there, but where
does Asa live? That's the question the
| Government Assessors and Tax Collectors
would like to have answered. In Mauch
| Chunk, surrounded by rare flowers and
shrubbery, or at the Merchants Hotel in
Philadelphia, surrounded by Copperheads,
| trying to cheat the government utof his
taxes? Couldn't this interviewer find out?
How Mauch Chunk must feel compli-
mented, by his enthusiastic description of
the Packeronian home 1t ''is in Mauch
Chunk, !" but lis distinct from Mauch Chunk
as distinct as the green oasis on the broad
sandy plains of Sahara, is from the desert
| itself" The contrast" with the town of
the coal miners is very ''conspicuoust
Mauch Chunk is the desert, the Packero-
nian residence the oasis. The coal min
ers" are the uncivilized Arabs, the Packer
family the representatives of refinement,
elegance, luxury, and ease?'' The Packer
mansion is the only decent house in Mauch
Chunk, and the Packer family the only de-
cent people The rest of the houses are
not worth looking at, and the rest of the
people are only ''coal miners - Poor dew
lis how it must delight them to be per
mitted to live within the shadow of sc
much elegance, refinement, luxury, anC
ease?" The nabob might get another in
teryiewsr," up there, and tell him how some
of these poor devils, - chucked him int
the Lehigh in lS43, and how he got tn,
money to erect his ''oasis" in the desert
of Mauch Chunk. by grinding the poor, anC
speculating in the sweat of other mem
brows. 1t would make far more interesting
reading.

St. Mary's Church Frenchville. Laying the
Corner Stone.
CorISGroN. Sent. il, 1869.

CoyINGToN, Sept IL, 1869.
EDITOR JOURNAL | will thank you to
record the laying of the corner stone OF the
new church at Frenchville. 1t was proud
day-not merely for the Jealous, hard work
ing Pastor and his well-taught congregation
but even the whole country may rejoice.
The beautiful and impressive ceremony OF
LAYING and blessing the corner stone was
performed by the Right Rev t. Mullen,
Bishop of Erie, assisted by Fathers Berbi-
gier, Oberhofer and O'Branigan, and was
witnessed by large number of people. A
square cavity cut in the stone-a small zinc
box to fit it, tmade by Messrs. Merrell and
Bigler, of Clearfeld), holds glass bottle,
sealed with the pastor seal, and which con-
tains latin description ofthis glorious event.
the names of the ruling powers-spiritual
and temporal-the present Pope, the Bish-
ops of this diocese the President of the u.
s., the Governor of Pennsylvania, the cler-
gy assisting, and the managers or committee,
are mentioned in this document; copy OF
each of the county papers Is also enclosed In
this box. Rev. Oberhofer sang the mass,
| and very well the choir was, also, very et-
fective. The Bishop preached a most ap-
pirate discourse, replete with good sense,
and most happy in his illustrations-scrip.
| tural and historical. No demonstration could
| be clearer than his argument for the true
worship of God-public as well as private.
The dimensions of this splendid structure
are 80 feet!ong, 45 feet wide; the transcep'
| is fully 20 feet height of side walls to be
| "a feet, and lofty and stately tower will
crown the dome of this cruciform edifice.

OaR neighbor, Goodlander, seems to be
somewhat annoyed at the allegation of the
JOURNAL, and other papers, that Asa Pack
er ''bolted' his party nominations on sever
al occasions. After referring to the fact, he
says:
They 1.-THE Republican papcrs) are won
derfully exercised about it, aud in fact seem
to look upon il as crime.
