1873 was made to name double the amount
which the witness had originally specified
as the price. The clerk not only called
his superior's attention to this thing but
IN making up his brief of the case called
particular attention 10 it in writing. That

port that " the testimony, particularly in
regard to the corn crops, demands a much
higher allowance than any heretofore

estimates the crop at sixty bushels to the
acre double what Fl0Hda acres produce,
and then virtuously allows pay for only
half the crop, but allows two dollars and

THE Fiiatka lFM) HeraM gives the fol
lowing account Of contest between Il
bear and an alligator which came off near
that place " A colored man was fishing
close by the scene of action at the time,
When he heard the roar and below of both
animals he was disposed to cast away his
fishing tackle and run, but finding that the
noise al the conflict came no nearer, he
cautiously crcpt through the jungle, aud
there witnessed the combat. Bruin and
bis antagonist were in water about eighteen
inches docp-the fight was hong and severe,
and il was terrible, the man said, to see
how they laccmted and tore each other
The bear resouing to his peculiar tactics,
would eulold the alligator in his huge
arms and over and over they rolled in the
water, until at last the bear came of the
victor leaving his enemy dead.

The Facts In the Case of George
Fisher, Deceased.
BY MARX TWAIN.

ment Of facts and circumstances will
which the Congress of the United States
has interested itself from time to time dur
ing the long period Of half a century
will not call this matter Of George
Fishers great deathlcss and unrelcnting
swlndle upon the Government and people
OF the United States--for it has never been
so decided, and hold that 1t is grave and
solemn wrong for Il writer to cast sIuTs or
call names when such il the case-but will
simply present the evidence, and let the
reader deduce his own verdict Then we
shall do nobody injustice, and our CON
sciences shall be clear.
On or about the Isl day Of September.
1913, the Creek war being thcu in progress
in Florida, the crops, herds and houses Of
George Fisher, a citizen, were DESTROYED,
either by the Indians or by the United
States troops in pursuit Of them BY the
terms Of the law, If the Indians DESTROYED
the property there wHs no relief for Fisher;
but il the troops destroyed it, the Govern
mcnt of the United Ststes was debtor 10
Fisher for the amount involved
George Fisher must have considered
that the Indians destroyed the property, be
cause, although be lived several years af-
tef"ard, he does not appear 10 have ever
made any claim upon the Government.
In the course Of time Fisher died, and
his widow married again And by and by,
nearly twenty years after that dimly re-
numbered raid upon Fishers cornfcld, he
2otdom Ftshey'S Rc1e husbuad pcttioned Con
gress for pay for the property, and backed
up the petition with many dcposiuOns and
aItidayits which purported TO prove that
the troops and not the Indians destroyed
the property that the troops 70" som" in
scruiable reason, deliberately burned down
houses tor cabnsl valued at 5000, the
same belonging to peaceable private
citlDen, and also destroyed various other
property belonging to the same citizen
but Congress declined to believe that the
troops were such idiots tatlcr 0ycrtaking
nnd scattering band Of Indians proved TO
nave been found destroying Fishers pro
perry J rs TO calmly continue the work Of
destruction themselves and make a com
piete 10bGi what the Indians had only
commenced. So Congress denied the

Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1871-02-08

This highly esteemed military
mandatory, has become greatly de.
moraliscd since the XVIII Amend
mcnis have been admitted into the
Institution. A row occurs about ov.
cry three months. Two investigating
committees, one military aud tho 9th.
cr Congressional, have visited and ex'
amincd affairs, but all TO no purpose
The last row is attributed to Prcsi
dent Grants and Adjutant General
Townsend's sons aud tho negro Smith.
The attention Of the officers was call
ed to the outrages pcrpetrated by this
trio by the other Cadets, but no at
teution was paid bacausc of the high
standing Of the niggcr and his two as
socia,os, hence another row took
place last week, and it IS probable
that Congress will take the boys and
Professors in hand. West Point will
not be the only place where the lsadi
cal attempt to "blcnd the races" will
make trouble. Loyalty" will Meth
cr save the niger nor the Radica
party from their just and inevitable
doom. Together they have been q
curse instead of Il blessing to the coun'
try, hence their overthrow becomes
the first duty of every lover of the
white race and free institutions.
More, the Professors say that y ing
is the rule and not the exception, and
if not stopped the Institution will be
ruined. OF such stuff are the loya
sons who rcvel at West Point. The
loyal Congressman who took money
from their parents should see that
their Cadets behav, themselves
Money will not put wisdom in fools
head or charity 10 a knave's heart.

Tho fcnian leaders pardoncd and
released from confinement have oil
reached New York, and met with
hearty reception from the masses there
that must have been deeply crafty.
ing, not only ms an expression Of feel
ima for the cause OF ireland, but Ms an
culpouring of generous sympathy for
men who bad long been torn asunder
from the ties Of the beat and subjected
to the Indignant tyranny Of cruel rul
crs, who seemed TO study, but !ncllcc
tually, how TO break and lamo the
spirits Of the brave, patriotic prisoners.
The pardon Of General Burke is upon
the following conditions, and II is pre-
sumc'l the othcrs arc like IL:
"Thc said Thomas +. Burke shall
forthwith depart out OF the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and shall remain out ofthc said United
Kingdom for the space of twenty years
from the date Of these presents. And
further, that the said Thomas +. Burke
shall not, during the space Of twenty
years, exercise or attempt, or claim TO
exercise within the said United King
dom, any capacity, right or privilege
Of which he was or has been deprived,
or which was or has been lost, forfeit.
cd, cxtinguishcd or suspended by the
crimc aforesaid; or by reason Of his
having committed the samc crime or
been convicted Of or adjudged guilty
of or sentenced or attained for such
crime"
This will keep them out Of Great
Britain, but il Is not likely TO keep
them from working for the freedom
of Ireland. That is duty incumbent
upon every Irishman, and ore not like
1 ly to be neglected by men who love the
green old isle and freedom as they do.
About the way lrishmen may differ, but
there is no true bloodcd lr.shman but he
will say ireland ought TO be and some
day shall be free. The failures Of the
Fenians. and others, have shown, We
think, that the Fabian plan, the slow
and watehful process, must be the
way, and to this these impetuous
spirits must snccumb, and set TO work
rcyolutionizing sentiment there before
they raise the standard of war again.
Unite ireland and her freedom from
Britain will soon follow.

Radical Tactics.

Some startling facts were eXhited at
recent examination Of witnesses at
Cham bcrsburg, in the contested cleo
tion case of Cessna>ss. Meyers. Al
most the whole pcgre vote Of the
borough Of Chambcrsburg was attack
ed By Mr.. Meyers, the Democratic
member, on the grouhd ofnon- payment
of taxes. 1t appears thutthe taxes Of
these negroes werc paid in the bulk
by John Mcdowell, a leading Radical.
The receipts were given TO him by the
Collector, and distributed~by Radical
agents with the Radical tickets The
tax was twenty-eight cents on nearly
all Of them. Colorcd men were EN-
ployed TO collect, from such negroes
as could pay, twenty five cents. Those
who could not pay got their receipts
gratis, provided they would vote for
Cessna Mr. Mcdowell was pressed
upon the point, whether he paid the
taxes out Of his private funds, or from
money given him for that purpose
This he refused to tell. Judge Arm.
strong stated TO the witness that he
thought be owed il 10 himself and the
community, 10 answer the question
but Mr. Mcdowell positively declined
To do so. The Tally Spirit in ho,ic.
ing this feature of the ease says =
"Thcrc is little doubt that this is whore
a part of the corruption fund went
The scheme undoubtedly was TO pay
the taxes of all these colored men, OBJ
tain receipts, and, If these wcro will
ing 10 vote for Cessna, the receipts
were TO be surrendered TO them, but il
they refused, they were to lose their
votes" These facts show the manner
in which the Radicals use their negro
allies They drive them to the polls
like cattle, and The negroes vote with
about as much intelligence. In this
case, if negro would vote for Cessna.
he was given a receipt If not, the
receipt was withheld and the man Dc.
prived Of the right of suffrage. The
whole matter Of negro suffrage is a
fraud and a swindle, and the proof OF
this assertion is found in the facts
above stated.-Age.
