A short time ago we sent out an even 400 duns, not one of theM for less than $4. The re sponse was scarcely enough to pay the postage. What on earth are we to do ? We can't buy paper, furnish labor, pay postage, rent, and the Lord only knows what all, without money. Must we shut up our es tablishment because we cannot get enough ready cash to keep it run ning ? There are hundreds who owe us a mere trifle of from two to ten dollars that would put us out of all embarrassment if they would on ly pay up. We appeal to you to do it. Do not pay all other debts and leave your printing bill stand until the publishers are ruined by your dereliction. It pains us to write so wickedly, but every other expedient has failed, and now to evade the declaration of war, PAY UP! GOLD 1021 HON. A. M.

The principal means by which the company has been defrituded was by per sons erecting private dwellings and other bnildings, both for themselves and others, with material and men belonging to the com pany. Several delinquents are, it is said, in prison, and others will be arrested shortly. In this country when employees do the like they are generally promoted. Who ever heard of punishing men for anything of the kind before ? But then those Ec glishmen have different views of official integrity from these entertained in this country. Herein lies the difference Tuz Poor Directors, Board of Public Charities, and officers in charge of the va rious Benevolent Institutions of this State wlll meet in annual convention, at Lock- Haven on Tuesday of next week. The proper treatment and manazement of the Poor and Insane, together with the Prevention and cure of: vagrancy and oth er kindred evils, are subjects which are becoming da:ly of more vital interest in view - of the rapid increase of pauperism and crime, and have for some years past been claiming the attention of our leading educators and philanthropists. These sub jects appeal to the consideration of the in• telligent andlumane everywhere through out the bounds of our commonwealth. Sym patby for the unfl.rtunate, ii2otection to the public, and the inters:•+.s of a common humanity alike demand that the attention air an enlightened public be directed to Offtiejnvortant subjects, and we trust not only that there way be a full attendance on this occasion but that u:ir county may not'be behind in a work so noble and praiseworthy. The Pittsbur,4lt Comile•reiql- Gazette of Tuesday morning says: It is quite evi dent, at this writing, that the Democrats have carried Ohio, but by what majority we leave our 'elders .to ascertain in our news eqluniti. , . The r,ports are not sum eicntly &f1ai1...! 11:r careful analysis, but it is evident the lab tr vote is the turning in fluence. As usual, at the last, Democrats voted their ticket, while the labor tickets were recruited from the Republican party. This impaired our vote, and lost us the State, without doing the labor element any good. Other causes of a more general nature entered into the result, but of these we eats speak more carefully hereafter.— While it, is possible that the result could not have been prevented, owing to the labor disturbances, it is &so quite evident that a feeling of dissatisfaction, in Repub lican ranks owing to the President's policy, has had its influence. There has been a careless, indifferent, inactive spirit, even where there was no posith;e hostility.— Ohio, hitherto aided from without, has been left to itself, and with the hands of a portion of the party tied, it was an easy matter for the Democrats to beat them.— We do not know what influence this will have on the President, but it ought to be clear that his reform policy is rapidly strengthening the Democratic party. It is hardly necessary to disguise the fact that, the result in Ohio urges the Re publicans of Pennsylvania to wake up, if they do n•ut wish to suffer. We believe the Republican party in this State to be in much better shape than it was in Ohio. Our organization and spirit are better; but it is not, possible to remain quiet and gain a great victory. Judge Sterrett has great personal strength, and our other can didates on the State ticket are strong- They are doing good work. But all leth argy must be immediately thr.,wn off, and the issues of the canvass fully and strongly prusen tel. We can carry our entire ticket, and the Fide of Pennsylvania Republi canism is bound up in carrying the State. We have claimed that without patronage or outside aid, snubbed, insulted and abus od, we were able to stand up and carry our colors victoriously forward. We are called upon now to keep our promise, to make good our boast. If, with the result in Ohio, we early this State, Pennsylvania Republicans will stand proudly before the country. Ticket and platform ate accep table, but work must be done. There is no disaffection, but lethargy must be driv en away. Let us rouse to duty, and show that Pennsylvania is true to herself and Republicanism.

Nsw YORK, OCt. 10, 1577. Political—The OW of Cigars—Nero York and the C<rnal4-.lfure Raecality—Business. POLITICAL. The action of the State Convention under the leadership of Mr. Conkling, is the principal topic of discussion. The aggressive portion of the party are those who hold office, and those who believe they wouki have been in office but for the attempt of the President to inaugurate reform in the civil service. This faction of the party applaud Conk ling to-the echo, and are bitter in their denuncia tion of Curtis. On the other hand, the solid men of the city, of which class the Union League Club are fair representatives, assert that "Mr. Conk ling's Convention," as they characte , i zc the Roche-- ter gathering, did not represent the patty at all, but that the people will sustain Mr. Curtis. They hold that not only the best element in the Repub lican party, but of the Democratic as well, are in hearty accord with the Presidont, and that the attack of Coukling upon the Administration was not only a had thing for the party, but is the death of that gentleman. There is no concealing fact that there is a deal of bitterness in the organiza tion, and it crops out on all occasions as naturally as it did at Rbchester. The Conklin.. * people insist that they have made the party, and have main tained it, and that to prevent such a man from using his influence because he happens to hold an office, is wrong. The President and his supporters take the event very quietly. Everts says that no matter what the result of the elections may be, this fall, the people will sustain the policy when they come to see its practical effects. And the President says that he is doing exactly what he was pledged to do before the election, as he does not want another term, it is a matter for the peo ple to do as they choose about it. And all Republi ' cans, except a few disappointed ones, say that Conkling should have followed the example of Elaine, and kept the party intact, and reserved his personal grievances till a more fitting time. THE COST OF CIGARS A very pretty little history came to me the other day. In IS7O, a broker named Abbey was told by his physic'.au that cigars wore killing him ; and his wife induced him to stop smoking, and give her the amount each day that he was in the habit of expending upon cigars. Now this rich man did not smoke common cigars,—not he. Ile could not satisfy himself with anything le as than imported Havanas, that cost fifty cents and npviards, each, and he consumed a great many of them. But diet quit. and he did give his wife each day pre cisely what his cigar bill had been, and he kept it up faithfully About a month ago, Mr. Abbey went under, and he was very sore about it. Ile had neglecte.i the usual precautions such peopla take, and the house he lived in was taken out from under him, as well as all the pleasant accumula tions of a lifetime. Mr. Abbey, last Monday morning, was an astonished man ; for Mrs. Abbey took him out of the cheap hotel in which they had taken refuge, and conducted him to a very neat ;end comfortable furnished house on 20th street, with everything in readiness togo to living, and all hers; .she had saved the money he had given her, she had invested it, and turned it over and over, until it hail amounted to enough to pay for a de lightful home, not much inferior to the one he had lest; and this was in his wife's name and could not be taken from her, and from'this vantage point Mr. Abbey feels quite confident that he can go out., and regain his lust position. Ile saved his health by quitting to'eaeco—his wife so managed as to give him anew start. A very comfortable wife to have, is Mrs. Abbey. NEW YORK AND TIIE CANALS, The Erie canal is, practically, a national work, and it is a thousand pities that it is not under the r.untrol of the General Government. It is theonly sefeguarA the people have against rapacious rail road con.'.;uations, and the farmers of lowa is just as much .!..erested in it as the merchant of New York. The railroads did their level best to keep up the tolls, that the carrying of the grains shoeld he forced into their hands. Despite their efforts, the tolls were lowered, and the good effect was ap parent. The amount of grain carried was largely increased, and the canal assumed somewhat the appearance of former years. Another movement in the right direction is being made. It is to close out, once for all, all the lateral canals that do not pay exT,enses, and make the Erie free of tolls. If this is lone, and as an additional measure the canal is enlarged so as to pass a larger boat, the c ity will recover its lost trade, and New York will be again, what it was, the great exporting point of the country. The Canadians are enlarging the Welland canal so as to admit large vessels, and Montreal is working with all its might to make itielf the point of export and import. New York has got to do something to head her off. The Erie canal is the way, and New York sees it. A free canal and a larger ono is what New York needs, and the agitation of the question shows an increas ing tendency to labor in that direction. MORE RASCALITY, The dreadful list of scoundrels has this week taken on two new names, Oilman and Lyman; the first, one of the saints we are getting accustomed to, who within the church rob the brethren and outside world alike. Ills acts will be familiar to your readers before this letter reaches them, and they will learn that he was a kind father and true friend,—sensitive, aesthetic, intellectual, domestic and pious to a degree. Who can be trusted, is the perpetually recurring conundrum. Not in the case of Lyman, however, who has before done the State some service in Sing Sing, but his case is striking in this, thet a known jail-bird could go on CO long in successful forgery. And in this case again re curs the old quest;on, '•lloes it reform a man or does it tend to reform him to put him in prison ? ' Except in Wall street, business is improving every day. The merchants from the interior are finally convinced that the bottom has been reach ed and are buying liberally. The city is full of strangers, and everybody is feeling well. There is no question that business men are satisfied that OHIO BUSINESS f-om this time out, there will be an improvement it values, that goods cannot go below the present point, and that real estate from this date must in:prove. Tenants recognize the improved look of things, and are preparing to submit to an increase in the grin,; and in slmrt, everybody is testing better. My confidence is not based upon the , wy, but comes from what I see and know. The dark days are over, and,wo see clear skies. The stran gers among us report the same revolt for encour agement evaity where. •44'he West hall ;Al ere rich this year, mantle West and Swig!) ma e the rest of the country. METE°. Letter from lowa BURLINGTON, rowA, October S, 1877, DEAR Entroz :—ln closing my communication of the 4th ult., I promised to write you at some future time, touching on the politics of this State, and also give your readers some idea of the way the Sabbath is observed in Burlington. Presume your readers are aware that lowa is the great Gib ralter of Republicanism. That the Republican majority exceeds that of any other State in the Union. At the last election, the majority for the Republican National ticket, was somewhere in the sixty thousands. Now while this is so, I wish to caution your readers, lest they too, fall in with the prevalent opinion outside the State, viz : "That a Democrat in lowa is somewhat of a curiosity." Such is not the ease. 'lt is not at all an unusual sight to see them moving through the streets of this city. The ones with whom I have bad the pleasure of an acquaintance, I find to hoof the un— compromising kind, apparently atoning in quali ty, for what they lack in quantity. During my sojourn here, it has been my privilege to attend the Republican County Convention -of this, Des Moines county, and I have not the least hesitancy in commending the manner in which the business of the convention was dispatched. You see none of that characteristic spread eagle speech-making, which you so often see in the East. Neither are the delegates button-holed, but are permitted to act as though they possessed a mind, and were capable of forming an opinion without being in structed by the politicians or their henchmen. In respect to the State government I am told that it enjoys the unenviable reputation of comparatively free from corruption. This much is conceedod by the Democrats. The candidates to he voted for at the coming election in October are, John 11. Gear, Republican and John P. Irish, Democrat. Mr. Gear is a citizen of this place and has been sever al times elected to the legislature and has had the honor of serving as speaker of the House for two sessions. lle enjoys a large share of the confidence of the people, and of course, will be elected by a large majority. John I'. Irish, the Democratic candidate, is a young man of more than ordinary ability, is a very fluent talker, but is not receiving the undiwided support of the democracy. Several Democratic organs. far some reason, refuse to place his name at their mast and take frequent occasion to demand the withdrawal of his candidacy. The Greenback party, Workingman's party, and Temp erance men have all distinct organizations, but, from What I .lan learn are without much following. They will draw about equally from the two tickets and consequently will not affect the general re su!t. It. B. Hayes' Southern Policy is very Be verly criticised by almost the entire Republican p irty of this section. The hawk Eye, (Rep.) the ablest and most extensively circulated paper in the State takes every opportunity to throw grape and canister Into the administration ranks, and when the Editor of the Hawk Eye takes deliberate aim he generally scores a bull's eye. Prom the above review of the politics of this State, I trust, yen will give me the credit of being unbiased in my opinion. This, like all western cities, is rath er liberal as to the way the Sabbath is observed. A large class evidently believing in the literal transl.tion, that "the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath," consequently the day is generally spent in dancing, beer-drinking, billiard-playing, and gaming in general. Next week the county fair commences and will continue all week. The premiums, especially for racing, are very liberal, and some good stock is expected on the course. The city for the past two weeks has been in a fever of excitement owing to a defalca tion of something like one hundred thousand dol lars by Mayor Parsons. In addition to the may orality, he was assistant cashier in the Merchants' Bank, Treasurer of the school fund, besides serv ing in a number of minor offices of trust. No cit izen could possibly have enjoyed a larger share of confidence, for honesty and probity, than Mr. Par sons did previous to his absconding. At the time the defalcation took place, the cashier, Mr. Mc- Kitterick, was on a trip to Colorado. On his re turn home he soon discovered that "there was something rotten in Denmark," and called on the Mayor to arise and explain. This he promised to do by the next day, but under the cover of dark ness he fled to parts unknown. The defalcation has cast a gloom over the entire city, and has shaken to the very core, that confidence which one reputable citizen should place in another. Ile leaves behind him a large and very much respect ed family. Yours, GRANGER. --rig.- - ..s. - -41.-- State News. Beaver county fair receipts, 10,469. Too much rain in Crawford county.

LITERATURE The October number of Wide Awoke is a de lightful one; and is well calculated to afford pleasure and profit to the large class for which it is designed. It compares favorably with any similar publication in the world ; for our own American juveniles are far in advance of the European, and the same may be said of our monthly Magazines. What can Europe produce to com pare in beauty of illustration, and interest of con tents, with our Pennsylvania Magazine—Lippin cutt's—with its perfect execution ; and the old es tablished Harper; the sprightly and agressive Scribner; and the solid merit of the Popular Science Monthly and Supplement. The youth's magazines, The Nursery, Wide Awo'.e, and St. Nicholas, can not be surpassed. The young of this age have advantages, in an educational and literary point of view, that wore never dreamed of when "we were boys and girls," and yet how prodigal they are of their opportunities. When a commodity is to be had in abundance we undervalue it, but when it is very scarce we compensate for the scarcity by placing a higher estimate on what we have. When books were scarce and high priced we read with avidity what we had, and so thoroughly mastered the subjects that we could have produced a better; but now, when they are plenty and cheap,they are scarcely, or carelessly read; when we had no periodicals, or studied stature, and were refined and bettered by the lessons; now when every sub ject is thoroughly treated in its own publication, we scarcely take the trouble to acquaint ourselves aith the principles of the lessons. It is lament ably true that with all our opportunities, there is a less proportion of finished scholars made when these opportunities were not to be enj )y ed. Our young people are too ease-living, aid not self denying enough. In many instances they would rather peruse the last novel, or sickly love story than investigate a scientific subject, bearing on the practical duties of life. These things ought not to be, and it is pleasant to know that there are some notable exceptions. The study of the sciences is chiefly pursued by the mature minds of the age, by the men of sober thought, who are ridiculed, and even laughed at by the empty heads and open nealths who would represent the age.— Evarythings find.; its level, and the day is fast approaching wusu the stitliew of 2 4 eten,,e w ill rep resent the intelligence, or status of the ege, and those nbo 1,v,, their strength' tri the narrow sec tarian d.. 4111 :hey now promo totoe rill scarcely find an mud ieuet., or repret , eu t live, ft laths never c o nflict, hat dogmas promnlgated by narrow mindedness. always been at hitter conflict.

"Tit no," a Lore Story. r y Mrs. F;ances Hodg son Iturt.ett, author :1" rnBi. Las, o' Lowrie's," is published this day by T. 11. Pete son So Brothers, Philadelphia. Of the many excelb tic stories writ ten by Mrs. Buruett. "Theo" is one of the very best and purest kind, a, w• 11 as ono of the most charming love storm s we have ever read. Few characters in moiled ti fiction are as lovable ate the noble, warm-hca.rted, impulsive girl, from whom this novel takes its name. She dares everything for the man she loves, with a self-sacrifice, that for once at least., has its reward. Tht feelings wherewith it deals are no less true and profound than they aro vividly portrayed. Mrs, Burnett, however, ma always happy in her heroines. There are two of them alike, yet all are "tender and true ;" full of womanliness and reflement, and at the same time fail of individuality; and "Theo" is of a high, exalted type, one that you cannot help loving. The author is a burn story-teller, for genius is dramatic, not didactic ; she writes, because she hae a tale to tell, not because she base homily to preach. Then, too, her artistic insight is of the keenest. Her characters always act naturally. No one can be— gin "Theo," and of choice lay it down unfinished. The volume is very neatly printed, and will have a largo sale, as the price of it is but Fifty Cents a copy, and it will be found fur sale by all Book sellers, and on all Rail Road Trains, or copies of it will be sent to any one, to any place, post-paid, on remit:ing Fit'y Cents in letter to the Publish ers, T.
