for Thiriy-sir Hours.

A correspondent of tho Kansas City
Times recently interviewed David r.
Atchison, who, upon the death of VIM.
Il. King, month after his inaugura-
ton as Vice President in 1853, sue,
ceeded to the Vice Presidency, when
the following strange and forgotten
fact in American history was brought
to mind-tbat Atchison was legally
President Of tho United States for
about thirty-six hours. Wc extract
as follows.
Reporter-You wero President of
the United States for about tbirty-six
hours, were you not
Genoral-Yes; you SEQ Mr.. Picrco's
term expired at midnight Saturday,
and this being Christian country, of
course nothing WAS done on Sunday.
Mr.. Buchanan was inauguratcd at
noon on Monday. Therefore, as Pres-
dent Of the Senate, / succeeded to the
Presidency when Mr. Pierces term
was out, laughiugIy j but | had no
realization of my high position until
about ten o'clock Sunday morning.
We had been hard at work in the
Senate finishing up business, and hav-
ing lost much sleep would probably
have slept all day had | not been
wakened up by some personal friends
who came TO congratulate me and
secure positions for certain parties
In order to do everything in proper
style, | appointed full cabinet, and,
it is said that my administration was
tho most successful and popular one
ever known, there not being a remov-
al or appointment during my whole
term.

CHEAT DidNiTY. last October the
voters of Pennsylvania elected the
very best members of both parties
members of q Constitutional Conven-
tion, which is now in session at Iar-
rfsburg. Tho dignity of the body is
fully sustained by the election of Mr.
Meredith as President, but disgraced
by The cheap material out of which
the subordinate officers are made.
The chief clcrk and scrgcnnt-at-arms
We have known for fifteen years.
They are Of the political wharf rat
spccies, and of the very lowest typo
at that, while tho assistant is a negro.
Whether the darkcy is employed by
thc State 10 wait On Onslow when
overcome by tanglofoot, or to render
more dignity TO tho position, we
know not. But this We do know,
that neither gre o. for the place.

The negroes claim to have one of
their own color appointed TO place in
the Cabinet, and they name Langston
for Attorney General We do not see
how Grant can refuse this modest ro-
quest, inasmuch as he would have no
party in thirteen States without the
darkey. A negro in the Cabinet, wo
fear, would ncccssitatc an annual ap-
preparation for disinfcctants to 30
used at Cabinet dinners
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-11-20

A TRUE TEsT.-Simon Cameron
made speech in Harrisburg just be.
fore the Presidential election, in which
hc urged tho Republicans to cast as
large vote for Grant as they did for
Hartranft, declaring that any loss
which might occur in tho vote would
be attributed to fraud practiced al the
State election. Tho Radical lose In
Dauphin county oxoeodcd 500, and wc
presume il is fair, on Camcrons own
theory, TO claim that frauds to that
oxtcnt were practiced at tho State
election.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-11-20

No important election will take place in Penn
sylyania until that Of Governor, three years from
now.-Erchonye.
This is mistake. The most i'm
portant election ever held in tho State
comes off next fall. The issue will be
n square one, between the people on
the one side and the Treasury thieves
on the other, for the election of a
State Treasurer, in accordance with
the amendment to the Constitution,
adopted in October. The issue will
bc between honest men and the
rogucs OF tho ring There will be no
president, Governor or United States
Senator to prop up and assist the cor
ruption ring in their raid upon tho
peoples money.

YEs.-Our Radical exchanges all
give the following: "Thc official pub
lie debt statement for the month of
October, shows reduction vi Go, ,see,- :
4l7.32. In September it was much
larger, exceedingsloO 100000" Yes,
and had not tho other five million
boon epent in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana to dcfeat the Democratic
nominees in October, tho reduction of
the public debt would have been as
great in October as September.

RivALs.-Thc Peoples Monthly,
Pittsburg, Pa, and WoodhuH and
Clafin's Weekly, are just now pub
fishing likcnesses of Rov. Henry Ward
Bcecher. As the Weekiy is in Jail we
suppose tho Monthly is ahead, of
course, for excellence. The Wood
hull story about Beecher is about a
fair offset TO Beochers sisters (Mrs.
Stowe) romance about Lord Byron.
Beecher's salary, which is now sl2,-
600, should bc doubled next year by
his aristocratic congregation.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-11-20

HuMBUGs.-Governor Geary has
written e letter declining to be can
didate for United States Senator
So has ColG,x, of Indiana. Neither
had the least chance Of success. Those
places had been purchased with dol
lars, by Cameron and Morton, and
nobody else could get thom without
refunding the money. Neither Geary
nor Colfax have money enough TO
ring IN with those two corrupt lead
ers. Hence their letters are very
cheap shystering and very unbccom-
ing in Chief Magistrate and Vice
Prcsidant.

Hon. W. NJ. Meredith, of Philadel-

of the Convention Of 1888.

BEnISD.-lt appears from the cleo
tion returns that there arc quito q
large number of Republicans who
were as much opposed TO seating
crow as the Democrats. Forten, tho
negro clector on the Grant ticket,
runs far behind the rest OF the ticket
in every copaty in tho State.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-11-20

ELrcroRs.-Many people would pre-
for voting directly for President and
Vice President, instead OF voting for
electors by States. If this was tho
law, tho Philadelphia and Pittsburg
Roughs would count out votes enough
TO ovorbalancc the rest of tho Union.
Hence there would be no use of hold
ing an election outside of thcso Two
christian cities.

only able but willing to pay their debts. Their
ledgsrs show that since March 1869 the pub.
lio debt has been decreased s281, ,624, 1857, and
they enjoy the consciousness that TINS unpreoe-
dented discharge of national obligations has
been going on while the tax has been steadily
and appreciably lowered. Contrast this state OF
matters with the reckless Increase OF the debt
Of the city, under Democratic rule, and then
estimate at its value the partisan clamor about
the extravaganza Of the Republican National
Administration.
soc1ETI ADOPTING EARLY HOURS
From the n. Y. Times.l
Among other usages Of the present that might
profitable be changed we trust TO see rs.urn snln
to more seasonable hours. The practice OF dane
ing all night or at least far into the early morn
ing hours, is not only extremely hurtful to
health, but destructive of the very pleasure at
which it aims.
direction has already been taken by people OF
established position. The custom is gaining
ground Of notisg on cards of invitation, the
hours when the entertainment is to begin and
end, these being in all at least three hours ear
lier than has hitherto been usual What are
called afternoon germans, custom imported,
we believe. from Washington, beginning at 3 P.
NJ, and lasting until 10, are also becoming pop

GOV. HOFFMAN, AND U. s. SENATOR'S.
From the n. Y. World.l
The Governor makes another recommendation
which is, as yet, too far in advance Of public
opinion to be practicable He wishes the ma
tional Constitution 30 amended as to make the
Federal Senators elected by the people instead
Of the Legislatures. II the question were new.
there can be little doubt that this method OF
electng Senators would be adopted; but custom
is powerful goddess, who yields only to yehe-
ment passion or strong necessity. 1t is true
that of late years Senators often secure their
seats by packing and bribing Legislatures but
recent experience shows that nominating con-
ventions can be packed and bribed as well as
Legislatures.

A number Of names are being canvAssed as
probable Republican candidates for the Penn
sylvania Governorship. Among them are those
Of Gen. Harry White, now State Senator from
Indiana county W. W. Ketchum, ex-senator
from Luzerne G. Dawson Coleman, ex-senator
from Lebanon Gen. Galusha A. Pennypacker,
OF Chester and Others doubtless whom we do
not now call to mind. Hon. D. ]. Morrell, Of
Johnstown, positively refused to have his name
used in connection with the place We have
little doubt that the choice Of large majority
of the Republicans will be General Hartranft, of
Montgomery, the present Auditor General. He
is, after due consideration Of all qualifications
and objections, one Of tho strongest men who
can be nominated, and since the Gubernatorial
election so closely precedes the National contest
of November, this consideration is OF the highest
importance.
