Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1873-12-10

CHIEF JusTIeE.-Prcsidcnt Grant
has sent tho name OF his Attorney
General to the Senate for the purpose
OF having him confirmed as Chief
Justice Of the United States Supreme
Court, in the room of Chase. We
hope the Senate will manifest its in,
dependence, % IL did on former oc,
casion when il kicked Grants othc,
Attorney General, Hoover, out Of
doors. Williams halls formerly from
Now Yorh but latterly from Oregon
Ho is as devoid Of talent as nca is Of
tallow, and about as well suited fol
Chief Justice as he would be for O
Bishop; but because he eats, drinks
and sleeps with Grant, and hangt
around his horse stables with him, he
csteems him fit for Chief Justice
Had Williams remained at his New
York home he never would have been
hoard Of lie Is without doubt the
"lightest weight" that ever occupied
the position of Attorney General, and
bis promotion would be still moro dis.
graceful than that ofStrong and Brad
ley, who decided two important cases
previous to their appointment.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1873-12-10

One Of the United States Senators
from Wisconsin, named Matt IL. Car.
pentor, IL q very smart man, but q
drunken, immoral creature aftor all.
He paraded over tho country tho past
summer with another mans wifo from
New Orleans to Newport, r. l., stop
ping of'at Long Branch, and was turned
out Of q New York hotel, after lcav.
ing Grants Long Branch villa. To
help Carpenter to cover up his infa-
mics "the Government has condo.
scended to write letter defending the
sober virtuous {! Senator. We sup
posed this "impossiblc," too, but the
Pittsburgh Post says:
Grant over his own signature certi-
fios that Matt. Carpenter was not
drunk at Long Branch. "He spent
an hour or two with mo during tho
evening Of his stay, and / can answer
to his being at the time strictly sober,
giving no evidence Of having been
drinking to mark its effect at that
time. Tho other charges ! know
nothing about, and made no inquiry
about, thinking them impossible
Now Matt. should certify that the
President was not beastly drunk and
they would be even. Can any true
American prevent blushing at such an
humiliatirg and degrading attempt at
white-washing2
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1873-12-10

Chorpenning Cresswel, who pre-.
sides over the Postoflico Department,
is either a knavc or an ignoramus,-
His jobbing schemes are too numer-
GUS for safety and too ridiculous for n
Cabinet officer who processes to be
honest, to recommend. lie tinkered
away at the franking privilege until
he had it wiped out. Bat the remedy
is worse than the disease. Next hc
wanted TO buy all tho Telegraph
lines and manage them, and now he
wants to turn every Po-tofiice iuto a
banking institution in imitation of
European governments, and VIC sus.
pect if ho were left alone our whole
government would be modelled after
some kingdom.

Hon. Edward Mcpherson, the present
Clerk to Congress, last week "wcnt

master General Cresswell, turns out
to be an arrant fraud on the people
The idea was, to relieve tho mails Of
free matter, make public officials pay
their postage as well as tho people,
lessen the cost of transportation of
the mails, and chcapen postage.
Now what is tho practical result |?
Congress, as soon as tho law is repeal.

AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED. The as

ton says, "it is evident that great
diversity of opinion exists in both
4louscs OF Congress in regard to the
fnaaoes. II is the general complaint
that neither tho message of the Prcsi.
dent nor the report of the Secretary
of the Treasury throws much light on

Il Startling Picture for the
DcOOlc,

Tho Supreme Court, in tho opin-
ion delivered the other day, about
the powers of tho Constitutional Con
ven,ion laid down the theory that
because the primary movements for q
Convention of the people should start
under the auspices of law, the Con.
vcntion is TO bo regarded MS a crea-
turo of law, and can DO limited in its
powers by the Legislature.
Look at the practical workings OF
this theory for moment, and imag-
inc the pending Constitution rejected,
when could tho evils of which the
whole State now complains be cor
rected? How could the abuses 10
legislation, in the use OF corporate
powers in corrupting the ballot, and
in using the public money be reform
ed? The answer is never, SO long as
those interested in these abuses can
control the Legislature. As often as
it may be attempted hereafter bad
men will make common cause in
denying TO any convention the
right to interfere with their spoils.--
Had tho people supposed that the
Constitutional Convention was to be
subject to tho Legislature, either in
of form or substances, they
would never have ordered any such
Convention.
So much Of the decision of the Su.
preme Court as denies the right ofthe
Convention to change the manner Of
holding tho election in Philadelphia,is
of small moment, compared with the
startling theory resulting from The
doctrines of the opinion.
