Mr.. Buckalew's Confession.

Mr.. Buckalew, of the United States Sem
ate, said on Wednesday last, that money
had been raised last fall, sixty thousand dol
lars in New York, and eight or ten thousand
in Baltimore, and fifty thousand in Philadel-
phia, to corrupt his own State of Pennsyl-
vania San honest confession is good for
the soul' As New York city is hopelessly
Democratic, the large amount raised there
must have come from the Belmonts, and men
with like purses and principles, to carry
Pennsylvania for Seymour and Blair. That
Baltimore should furnish some ten thousand
dollars for the same purpose is not wonder
full, inasmuch as her Secessionists had the
success of the Democratic ticket very much
at heart. We must own. also, that the con-
| tribution from Philadelphia was very liberal,
and it seems to have justified the immense
activity which excited last summer and fall,
in the neighborhood of Ninth and Arch
Streets. But how was this money spent?
Of course, we only can guess. 1t may be
imagined, however, that the very large
number of ''Repeaters," Dead Rabbits, -
and other ruffisns sent out to vote at our
polls, under the patronage of Sheriff Lyle's
deputies, must have absorbed very large
amount of the New York contribution
Your Five Points and Mackerelville ruffian
knows as well how to charge as any man,
and when he is required to perure himself
for his pay, his reward ought to be liberal
Baltimore ten thousand dollars was little
enough for the six or eight hundred plug
Ugly scoundrels that were sent to Philadel-
phia to vote in October last.
As for the expenditure of fifty thousand
dollars, raised in this city. we need not go
far to account for their disposition. 1t
must have cost respectable sum to carry
through the tipstave naturalization frauds
which were effected in the Supreme Court;
and as the investigations in all of the con-
tested election cases, SO far show that many
of the rougher set, Philadelphia born, par
ticipated in the false personations. Repeat
ing and other operations necessary as Mr.
Buckalew says, to corrupt Pennsylvania, we
can credit that sum to the means and per-
sons named. 1t was candid thing in Mr..
Buckalew to make the acknowledgment, and
yet We imagine there are members of his
own party who will not admire him for his
frankness. They will say, ''It was bad
enough to lose the sl20, 900, but that Buck
alew should have confessed the fact is ex-
tremely unfortunate. .-Phila Inquirer

A BoTToMLEss PIT. There is no longer
any reason to doubt the existence of the
bottomless pit. They have found one end
of i; down in Tennessee. A farmer and his
son near Newark, Jefferson county, while
following the pillow with merry whistle.
suddenly sank into an enormous chasm in
the earth. Their C, les brought some neigh
bors to their assistance, when the men were
rescued, but the horses sank out of sight.
The cavity in which the horsefesh disap-
peared is circular, twenty feet in diameter,
and apparently an unfathomable ab,ss. The
people of Tennessee ppear to be at loss
to account for tie opening We think their
wits must have been wool gathering. It Is
not long siuce We heard of an enormo us
snake captured iu that State. What could
be more natural than to suppose that this
snakeship made that twenty foot cavity
At least this is just as reasonable as the

: Competition with the Gross Roads,"

The New Albany Commercial relates the
adventures of school teacher of that city
Miss Graham, who was induced to accept
the superintendency ofa freedman school
at Florence, Alabama. Under her manage
ment the school became prosperous, popu
lar, ,and consequently exceedingly obnoxious
to the ku- -klux, who called upon Miss Ora
ham one night at her lodgings, knocked at
the door, and rushed in pell NELL, arrayed
IN the ku klux uniform, and wearing the
ku-klux mask. The Grand yciops OF the
gang, in the deep sepuchral voices EN- lpHoy.
ed by these scoundrels, at once pro- eeded
to notify Miss Graham that unless she gave
up the school and left the town within thir
ty-six hours, they would burn the school
house aud kill her. 1--WE are Southern peo-
pie, said the chief of the gang to her
We are opposed to having those of anoth-
er race from the North to teach US. You
must leave this place forthwith"
just at the conclusion of this blood and
thunder speech by the Grand Cyelops, Miss
Graham, who has a keen appreciation of
the ridiculous, and discovered it in the stu
alton, clothing, and voices of the Ku- Klux
ers, broke forth into laugh, and perfectly
discomposed her prosecutors. They were
forced, however, to admire and acknow ledge
her bravery, and so apologized for their vis-
it and skunk out of the house. On the fol
lowing day the brave Klan repeuted their
clemency, and notified the t, acher that they
would burn the house over her head if she
did not leave at once. Alter counseling
with her friends, Miss Graham concluded
to leave Florence, and the KlaH had the ex-
quisite satisfaction of driving solitary wo
man from the field. Alabama at this rate
bids fair, with little more practice, to COM
pete with Kentucky, and may in time even
outrival the corner"

A WAGER WoN-A bet of s25, made
at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn, in May, 1862
between Thomas w. Knox and Albert D.
Richardson was paid recently. Knox at
that time offered to bet that no rebel leader
would be tried for treason by any high civil
or military authority and executed, and
Richardson took the bet. If no prominent
rebel were caught, the bet was to be drawn,
and likewise if one should be caught ard es-
cape by any other means than formal iiber
Grafton. The recent amnesty and the noNe
proseqm in the case O. Jefferson Davis were
a knowledge as deciding the bet against
Richardson, and he has given his check for
s25 to the winner nearly seven years after
aging the wager.

CLEARFIELD, PA, MARCH 5, 1869
7" The Corruption Ring"

The C7earfeld Republican, of last week,
contains the following item in reference to
the attempt in the House of Representatives
to raise the pay of the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature from $1,000 to
1850 year:
"a FAILURE. bold attempt was made
last week by the corruption ring in our Leg
isature, to raise the salary of the members
to 81 500, but there were righteous men
enough in this modern Sodom to save the
Treasury from the contemplated raid Con-
gressmen and Legislators act as though the
people sent them to Washington and Har-
rlsburg to steal the public lands and rob the
Treasury. If the tendency of grand moral
ideas is to this end, the sooner people get
something else into their heads the better
for themselves and the country"
Why did not the editor of the Republican
give all the facts connected with this attempt
to increase the pay of the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature? Why did he not
inform his readers that the amendment for
this increase was offered by NJ Miller, Dem
ocrdt, from Montgomery? Why did he not
notice the fact that NJ 'Cullough, Democrat,
from Clearfeld, voted for this increase Of
pay? Why did he not state that serenteen
of the twenty eight who voted for NJ Miller's
amendment were Democrats The reason
Is obvious: 1t was a Democratic measure,
and hy telling only half the truth he hoped
to dodge the responsibility incurred by hi
party friends, and thus, by implication at
least, fix the whole responsibility on the Re
publican members.
The editor of the Republican should also
give to his readers the names of such Dem
ocrats as spoke In favor of, and voted for
an increase of the Surveyor Generals salary
he names of those who made the notions,
and voted for an increase of one hundred
dollars to two of the night watchmen-the
names of those who moved. spoke in favor
of, and voted for an increase of two dollar;
day to the Associate Judges in the several
counties-the names of those who were in
favor of and voted for an increase of one
hundred dollars in the salary of the Super
intendent of the Public Buildings and
Grounds. These, and other propositions of
'thecorruption ring to rob the Treasury"
as We'll as the attempt to increase the pay OF
the members. are worthy the attention OF our
vigiant neighbor.
Whether the increase in the salaries re
ferred to is right or wrong, we do not now
propose to discuss. We make the reference
merely for the purpose of showing the peo-
pie the kind of retrenchment and reform
they may expect at the hands of the Demo
cratic party should it ever again come into
power. 1t would be the most stupeudous
corruption ring" ever inflicted upon the
State. The treasury would be robbed and
depicted, and the money squandered-
the business interests of the State crushed to
the EARTH and the people made bankrupt
Snch is the tendency of the grand moral
ideas of the Democracy, as proven by the
instances above given. Let the people
watch them.

SlS6, 100000 in '67. The export of specie
and bullion was s7I, 600, 900, or nearly TWEEN
~ millions more than the year preceding.
and largely in excess of any one of the five
previous years. The total value of all the
importatious. at the same port was 1924,
967, ,70l. The total of foreign imports was
1851, 1913, 1874, of which about Sl2, 200, 900
we're free goods and ssl 900, 900 dry goods.
The importations of iron were, in pigs
s50l, ,704, in Railroad bars $409A, 500, in
sheet s3,o50, ,943, in tubes $50, 544, and in
other forms 81, 2s6,2ls The railway bars
numbered 696,257, which at an average
length of thirty feet, would lay over two
thousand miles of American railway tracks
This was the importation at New York
alone
