The Chicago Tribune concludes an
article on "lhe Republican party in
the South" with the remark that "the
carpet baggers and their supporters
at the North, in the ondrayor to crush
outevery spark of manliness and every
memory of the past among the South
ern people, have done more TO defeat
Rcpubicanism in those States than
the Democratic party could have done
in a generation" And certain numb
sculls and blind bigots oonstrue this
statement of glaring fact into treason
TO the party and General Grants Ad-
ministration. The fact is, however,
that no one in the world is more i'm
pressed with its truth than General
Grant. In going into the South for
Attorney General he sgnifed as much.
The Richmond State Journal is a
Radical paper Of the strietest sect. Ii
has always stood on advance ground
relating to reconstruction, not only in
Virginia but all the South. 1t is,
tncfcnUrc, vutitivd 40 ers..is se-aa-n
ing the reverse which the Republican
party has met and is destined still to
meet in Southern States. In calm
and well considered article on the sub
iect, it ascribes these reverses to the
usurpation of leadership and Office by
Northern interlopors--lhe real cause,
as every man Of fairness and intelli-
gence must admit. We quote two
sentopces for the Journals article, as
follows:
awe have failed TO make RapublicAnism popu-
lar with the people, simply because It's leaders
have been Northern men who sought 10 give q
Northern impress to our politics, and 10 Republi-
canism, along with the propagandsis themselves
As we'll might you attempt TO force German
Catholic 10 be a Frcnchman as well as Catholic,
as to insist that a Southern Republican should bc
a Northern man as we'll ns Republican"
Ii will be observed that the scales
are falling of the eyes of loyalists, SO
far as relates to their treatment Of the
people of the South, but they seem SC
bent on personal aggrandizement that
the leaders will not lot up until the
house of Grant tumblcs down over
their heads.

GRANT AND THE Ku KLux.-Tho
Philadelphia Age, Of tho oath, says {.
General Grant, yesterday, favored
Congress with u message on the con
diliOn of the Southern States He
declares that life and property are in.
secure IN some OF the States that The
local authorities cannot control the
evil and that the powers Of the
President, acting within the limits Of
existing laws, is not clearly sufficient
for the present emergencies. In view
Of this alleged state Of affairs, the
President asks such legislation as, in
the Judgment of Congress, shall effect
ually secure life, liberty and property
in all parts of the United States No
specific remedy is named by the
President. Congress is 10 devise q
plan, by which States are 10 be inva.
dcd by Federal troops in time OF
peace, and civil authority trodden un
der foot by military power. No Hat-
ter " the Governor of State official.
w UttlAINcf n 1NNtllbI hlNNlN " uuNs
that the local authorities arc sufficient
to preserve the peace still, on the
rconisition Of a brace Of worthless
politicians, Federal troops will be
forced upon the people, and States
governed from Washington, as in dcs
potic countries, they are ruled from
the Royal capital. This is the mean
inv of General Grants message. 1t
is bold attack upon the American
theory Of government, and shows the
dangerous tendencies OF tho Radical
party when intrusied with power
Aiter sharp, earnest debate, the
message was referred TO a Special
Committee
What a pity that the impotent (for
good creature who draws the Prcsi-
dents salary cannot get up pretoxt
for sending the army down South
without the slow process ofinierroga-
ting Congress What a hinderance
those one hundred noble Democrats in
Congress are TO Royal aspirations

THE RESPONSE Two weeks ago
Col. Forney, ofth Philadelphia Press,
called on Gen. Grant 10 "halt" in his
career. The government" has halt.

Collector Of the Port Of Philadelphia.
my two papers, both daily" have
been far more effective in this instance
than in the DAYS of Andrew johnson.
How humiliating to know that the
chief magistrate Of this great Republic
Is the mere tool Of sueh mon 40 tho
cowardly buffoon, Butler, the de-
bauched Morton, the drunken Chand
Ter, and carpet baggers and scalawags
generally. What has become Of the
grand moral ideas" which controlled
this triumviratc in the past Is there
a more goddess crew in power any
where texcept IN San Domingo on
carth' Their boasted "loyalty," like
the harlofs virtue, seems TO be for
sale. Hence the terrible moral afllie-
tion which over hangs our beloved
land. So low is the moral tide that
when a set Of sharpers have robbed
and plundered a religious "book con.
cern" Of thousands Of dollars, the vii
lians cannot be exposed, though a
majority Of tho Bishops and all the
clerical Congressman take hold Of the
question. IL a purely religious orga-
Hization does not expose the williams
within its own camp, how can we ex-
pect Congress or State Legislatures to
purge the political atmosphere and
expose the Treasury robbersl These
arc questions we have a right 10 ask,
aud those in authority, in Church aud
State, are bound to answer them.
The idea that such men as Cameron
and Forney, who have both been ex-
PEELED from high positions for corrup-
ton, should again be elevated, is out
rageous, and can only be justified by
late @book concern" investigation

The old adagc still holds good, and
though Republicans may destroy the
Constitution, and attempt to over
throw the liberties Of this people, they
cannot destroy an aphorism. That Is
beyond the po xer of tho commander
in.chiof of the army and navy, mother
Of that greater army comprised OF
Office holdorsand king ofrogues, The
homcly words of Mother Goosc's melo-
dies, and the axioms of Aristophancs,
will survive and servo the purposes OF
human illustration Of
"whsn roguss fall out, honest men get their
dues"
That is q grand saying and applies
with immense force to tho combat be-
tween Grant and Sumner.
Who cares which is uppormost, or
whose eyes are out and whose head is
in chanccryY
Stretch the ropes and stake out the
ground, and let us have more OF these
scrimmages. They are wholesome
Sumner richly deserves the treat
meut he has met with. lie knew his
man, had used him against johnson
made a tool of him to keep the wretch
Stanton in his Office knew him TO be
false as u man, trcacherous as Il politi-
clan; had found him willing dupc,
doubtless bribed him with the promise
of the Presidency; winked ut his
social habits; in fine, worked him TO
his purposes of hatred against johnson
because johnson dared be indepcnd.
ent He tutorcd the lower nature Of
Grant 10 the lowest acts Of treachery
and fasehood, and now the pupil turns
against his teacher, and levels him Ia
the ground by the tricks of fight he
taught him.
Sumner, like President johnson
took it into his head to be independ
cnt, but as such ideas are totally a
variance with the policy of the Re
publicans, he has been crushed, anC
we are not in tears. The rogues ar'
falling out and justice will be triumph
ant, Sumner, who is a bitter hearted
man. with tongue as slippery as |
serpent, aud has brain well stocked
with figures and statistics, with a Ger
tain Peekshifiian reputation for hon
esty (he is too vain TO be a thief in th'
same low way that bis co partisani
are), will LET Grant have tho full bone
fit of bis boarded hate. San Domingo
is lost to Grant by this onslaugh
upon the Yankee Senator, and New
England will listen to the words o
her representative man and aid him il
his revenge.
Grant will lose his SANTANA lots
and Sumner dethroned from his Com
mittee, but not disabled, viii throw
such stream of light upon the vii
liany Of the job as will penetrate fla
aud wide, and give the benighted pee
Pile an opportunity TO see In their tru
light the servants whom they trusted
and tho frauds they have accom-
lished as well as contemplated VIII
knows but that out of all this matte
, Sumner may do such service to truth
as 10 condone all those crimes he ha
) been guilty Of in the Senate agains

and the boon of Liberty bequeathe
to US by the patriots of the Rvvolr

Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1871-03-29

Tho New York Herald says Mr..
Boutwell, has overreached himself and
damaged both the administration and
his party. We should not be surpris-
cd, therefore, if General Grant is wax o
ing up 10 the fact and should desire q
change in his Cabinet. The divisions
in the Republican party on various
grounds are embarrassing the admin.
istration, but none are likely TO prove
more disastcrous TO 1t than the differ.
ence that exists between the Eastern
aud Western Republicans on revenue
aud tariff issues. Tho revenue re.
formers, who are for the most part a
fragment Of the Republican party, are
numerous in the West, and have no
interest in common with the New
England proteclionisls As an agri-
cultural people those of the West
naturally incline more TO the free
trade. Many Of them, it is true, are
from the Eastern States, but while
their radical aud old home nfillatlons
may remain TO some extent, they are
governed chiefly, as all other people,
by their material interests. As con.
sequence the breach that is already
apparent between the old Republicans
Of the East and West must widen as
time advances on revenue and tariff
issues. II is certain, too, that the
mighty West will soon overrulo the
New England protective policy which
has controlled the government for
some time past Then the interests
OF the South and West, both being
will be combined before
long against the protectionist section.

A LOYAL DoDGE-Tho IRfelligsncer
says that the Radical Jury Commis
sioner Of Lancaster county has not
placed the name Of one single darkey
in the jury wheel, although they are
plenty in that county. How is that
for high, "colored brethren p 1t ap.
pears that those who want you to
light and vote for them arc ashamed
10 sit in the jury box with you.

the "pet lambs do not soon get their
eyes open there is no use in having
any. Just such men as that Jury
Commissioner would cheat the Devil
out of his possessions and then claim
the Celestial City with its golden
streets as a reward. The man who is
mean enough TO cheat a negro out OF
his bread and birthright deserves

A LEGISLATIVE DEAD LooK.-A re.
port comes from Harrisburg to the
effect that a serious disagreement be-
tween the two Houses Of the Iegisla.
ture is probable The Senate has
passed bin modifying the outrageous
law in reference to the appointment
ofelcclion officers in Philadelphia, and
the Radical majority 10 the House re-
fuse to consider il. The Appottion.
ment bill is also hung up in Commit
tee of the House, aud the Radicals
talk freely of refusing TO make any
this winter. Rumor
has il that the Democrats in the SEN
ate will shut down on all private leg
islation, if the House persists in de-
clining TO act upon all important pub
lie business. A dead lock in the Leg
islalure may ensue. A proper spirit
on the part Of the House would pre-.
vent the occurrence Of such a thing.

BAYKRUPTING A STATE.-The loyal
carpet -baggers aud negroes in the
South can bankrupt a State in shorter
notice than usually falls to the lot Of

about s5,OO0,0OO; it is now, including
the so called accruing debt, compris
