Enlargement of the "American."
We propose, in a few weeks, tornltirge
the Am'trican by adding a column to each
pngo, so that we will be enabled to give
more reading matter to our patrons. In
making these Improvements wo will bo
compelled to make nr. outlay of some fifteen
hundred dollars. We therefore nppeal to
our friends to lend us their assistance to
effect this cnterpr'sc, aud exert themselves
iu sending us subscriptions and job work.
The American will be published at the
same rate as now, viz, gl 50 in advance,
or $2 if not paid In advance. This mle
will, however, bo more strictly adhered to.
Those who owe us, will much oblige
us if they will remit, as we are in
need of the money to make the contem
plated improvement.
A Crash Panic among the Money
Kings. It seems very extraordinary and
yet it is certain, that thero is regularity in
the recurrence of a monetary panic which
takes place about every ten years, aud
which seems quite as unavoidable as
storms in the firmament. Business can
not remain undisturbed for any long period,
and like the tide, one after auother occurs,
and each seems to originate from the same
cause. Within the last week the country
lias undergone another of these excitements
caused by a crash among the money kings.
The firm of Jay Cook& Co., who gained a
wide rcputatiou during the late var,iu sus
taining the government by supplying her
with means to carry on the war. suspended
payment, suddenly, on Thursday last, and
at once a regular panic ensued throughout
the United States. The suspension of this
heavy firm caused a number of other bank
ers to follow suit, and within forty-eight
hours some fifteen banks and bankers of
Philadelphia, twenty in New York, and a
large number in other cities, were com
pelled to suspend. The excitement caused
in the cities was immense, and various ru
mors wcro set alloat that the Government
was likely to suffer. The excitement which
was thus kept up for several days was
neatly as suddenly abated as it originat
ed, by the government offering to purchase
thirty millions of dollars in bonds, and
thus reinstate confidence among the busi
ness circks of the couuUy. No bank, no
trust company, no saving fund of repute,
no merchant, no manufacturer has been a
tally hurt by tho late disaster.
There is
not a single failure to record from among
any of these classes.
This fact proves something. It proves
that the genuine trade of the country, that
upon which the real prosperity of the nation
rests, was never in a healthier, stronger
condition than it is to-day. Wo can recall
no other li.ue of financial disaster at all
approaching in appearances of general ruin
this last crisis, iu which commerce, manu
factures and agriculture did not (hare in
the misfortunes of finance. But in this pa
nic, finance alone was hurt, all other
branches stand ing firm as rock.
All that there is to do now is to clear
away the debris aud to understand clearly
tho eauses which led to tho great crash.
Having done that, let the dead bury the
dead, and let the living prees forward to fill
the places that the panic has left vacant.
The late mouey panic will, we believe,
result beneficially, and render thu govern
ment still stronger, while it teaches a se
vere lesson to banks and to the speculators.
It has shown to hanks the danger of tho
principlo of certification where there may
be any doubts of the making good of the
accounts. Tho panic diet not extend much
to country banks, and where banks have
been conducted like the First National of
this place, no fears are entertained of their
holding out against any panic. Under
such management security to depositors is
complete every dollar issued will bo re
deemed. Several banks in the cities, which
were conducted on the same principle stood
the crash nobly, aud went fur to cheek the
run uptn other bauks, aud to allay the ex
tit e nun t which prevailed.
"We have looked ul the Auditor' Re

of January, 1873, these Republican officers
have paid off over twelve thousand dollars,
and what is still more comineudable, will
pay oil the whole couuty debt before the
next meetiug of tho Aiulitors. If our

tho records at tho office.

Just So, Figures" won't LiE.Our
neighbor Eichholt still feels sore about his
skunk pets, and every once in a while la
ments through the Democrat about their
being drivon out of the county instead
of being driven in under tho "Ring" office
holder. In his last issue he says tho
nniount paid out for scalps, as per Audi
tor's Eeport of 1872, was 51,533 05. This
amount was paid during 1371 to Jacob's
friends, and we are happy to see him ac
knowledge the fact even at this late date,
lie" says that tho Auditor's Report of 1873
shows that the sum of $1,930 l." was paid,
nn excess of $447 00. Just so, Jacob I
Thai is precisely what we havo been con
tending about. We always said that the
amount would increase annually if the
"Ring" Commissioners wcro kept in office.
As the majority of the board of Commis
sioners for both years were lJcmocrata it
corroborates our statement, as tho increase
was, according to Eichholtz's statement,
?447. Since the Republicans have a majo
rity in the board there has been such a do
crease that our neighbor has become nlarm
ed. Tho Republican Commissioners get
control of tho office in November last, and
since that time there were 2S8 00 on old
orders paid, and 51 05 on orders issued
siuco January 1st, 1873. These figures
havo been taken from tho records, and we
confess, speak loud in praise of the Repub
lican Commissioners in saving the county
such a largo amount on Jacob's traffic,
being a d crease of $1,040 10 from tho
amount paid by the "Ring" Commission
ers the last year they were in office.
There is scarcely a county iu Pennsyl

Comment on tho above is unnecessary I
Aud it is not surprising any longer that
honest Democrats should complain of their
organ when it gives such a statement to
deceive the public, and when all the records
show to the contrary. Mr. Eichholtz
must think that tho people of this comity
are very illiterate. We can come to no oth
er conclusion after reading the above para
graph, which looks like presuming upon
an ignorant population.
The nomination of B. P. Wagensellerof
Selinsgrove, Suydor county, for State Sen
ator in this Senatorial district, gives gene
ral satisfaction. Dr. Wagcnseller has a
most excellent record as a faithful Repub
lican. During the war he served as Sur
geon, with the rauk of Major, and so well
did ho uischargohis duties that he was pro
moted to tho rank of Coloucl. Since the
Republicans have a candidate iu every way
worthy of public trust, it will be their fault
if ho is not elected over Hon. A. II. Dill.
The district is Republican by a small ma
jority, and every ono who feels an interest
iu the priuciples of the party should make
it his duly to be at the polls early, and
work for the candidates from State nomi
nees down to County Auditor. Dr. Wa
gcnscller's election is important to the
working classes, and every laboring mau
ought to feel sufficient interest in the elec
tion to prepare to work for their favorite
and friend, Dr. Wagonseller.
The erection of tho Court House, which
cost nearly ono hundred thousand dollars,
made some debt, and the Commissioners
havo been paying it oil' every year since.
Demwrut of luxt urck.
The records show that a tax was levied
upou tho citizens of this county at the time
the Court House was erected, to pay off the
whole cost of fhe building in ouo year,
which every tax payer will remember. We
would like our neighbor to state what was
done with the extra tax levied fur that pur-
i pose. 1 he editor contends, too, that it was
I naiil (fY f I'frtt vnn r sinpi. TYu.a lw. mn.ni lv
this that the money fleeced out of the lax
payers by the "Ring," en ry year ninre, was
all applied towards paying for tho Court
House. If he does, it is a very expensive
building, for there have been enough taxes
paid since that building was erected to
build sevoral more Court Houses, and a
jail iu the bargain.
A Tounnxo Requiem. The St. Louis
llcjiubUcaii. still continues its unfeeling
criticisms of its old friends, tho Democrats.
In a recent article it calls them a "crced
les party," and then proceeds to show
them why they are so. It says that form
erly tho Democracy thought it had an "en
during anchorage in the Constitution," but
now it cannot declare its determination to
stand by the Constitution as it is without
endorsing the whole policy of tho Republi
can party. On the subject of tariff the
Democracy are hopelessly divided. Oa the
subject of Slate rights thu party no longer
knows what it thinks, and its old standing
hostility to national banks is ah-o gone.
Hence the I'cpttlH'an concludes :
"These diversities opinion auioug modern
Democrats, and this antagonism of modern
Democracy to the Democracy of tif'teeu
years ago, accouut for the impossibility of
constructing an effective and consistent
Democratic platform. The tack cannot be
done ; the attempt to do it ends either in
the Baltimore folly of re-adopting a Repub
lican platform, or in such miserable bosh
1 as lias just been put forth by tho eunuch
! Democracy of Massachusetts. Tho De
mocracy has lost tho capacity to tell what
it wauls ; it can no longer perform that
first essential function of an independent,
sclt-sustaiuing party the construction ofa
creed."
Ouit uuighbor harp3 a great deal on tho
Auditor's Report of 1873, and tries hard to
convey the idea that the bad state of affairs
it exhibits was the doings of the prescut
board of Commissioners. But as every-
U)dy know, that the present UoarU was not
organised until a short lime previous to
making out the' Auditor's Report, Jacob's
statements are looked upou as unreliable.
The late panic was ouo which in noway

ness of any kind, or, indeed, legitimate
business of any description. It was entire-

member of the enrolling board, during the

Monday, a sensational report of losses sus
tained by the State Treasurer by the failure-
of tho Untou Trust company. This
canard was evidently sent out for tho pur
poso of influencing voters in tho coming

Moving at a slow pace, tho lid driving,
suddenly the horse kicked, apparently in
play, but his leg caught ou the shaft, from j
which became frightened and began 'to
run. Mr. Boyer jumped from tho buggy,
intending to catch the horso nt the head,
but caught his foot between the spokes of
the wheel, inllicMng a compound fracture
of the leg above the ankle. He was drag
ged a short distance. Little Willie hung
on to the dasher until the horse turned a
corner, when tho buggy was upset and he
was thrown across the fence, escaping with
a light scratch on the nose. The horse also
freed himself. Mr. Boyer scrambled to the
vehicle and got into it, where he bound up
his broken limb with strips of bark, and was
taken to his homo by Mr. Andrew Daniel.

of tho nomination of tho gentleman for
Stale Senator, iu this district, tho Harris
burg Telegraph says :
Colonel Wagonseller was a faithful sol
dier during the rebellioin, discharging his
duty in face of the enemy with bravery,
and deserves, as lie will no doubt receive,
thu united support of tho Republicans iu
the district. The district is now repre
sented in the Senate by a Democrat, but
the Republican majority at the lust election
was over eight hundred, and the Republi
cans have it now in their powei to redeem
it. The Colonel wi'l make an attentive
Senator and will represent the wishes of
his constituents wilb ability.
Assessment ten days before the 14th of
October and the payment of taxes, is ab
solutely necessary lo entitle every man to
a vole. We hope the business men of tha
Republican party will make thulr arrange
ments to be at luiue on tho I4th of October.
Our opponents calculate ou a victory, from
the fact that so iniuiy llenuhlicaus are busi
ness men, who, unless an election involves
great national issues, will not loose the
time going to tho polls to vote. Every Re
publican voteought to be and will be Milled,
because it is ur duty to iusure the- safely
and tho puruy of the government, always
to exhibit osr strength.
CfautESPONDENCE.
Letter from Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22,1873.
Friend Wilvert : ' .
It lias born somo time since
I wroto you. Havo been taking my vaca
tion from writing during the hot and dull
oasou, in part rendered necessary by Its
being tho busiest in our branch of business.
Now that the cold weather of Autumn is
upon us we return 'to duty."
Tho great topic of conversation, every
where, is now the great susiienslorm of tliC
past week. Tho financial panic unequalled
since '57 it created, is now subsiding, and
tho worst is over... Its' results have not
been so disastrous here as. in New York,
owing to the substantial aud staid transac
tions of our Banks. Tho commercial In
terest have not brcn affected, it being
a stock panic, and tho lojs fell upon the
Railroad Interests chiefly. The sympathy
of the public lias been very greatly towards
Jay Cooke & Co., and tho hope ia freely
expressed that very soon they may resume.
No ono Avill looso by them is confidently
believed, and the peoplo and nation owe
them a debt that now in their, distress
should not be forgotten. There has been
but one Bank suspension so far, aud it
causod by the foolishness of depositors. It
does seem at such times ns if peoplo lost
their reasoning powers, as is shown by the
absurdity of the rush upon the "Fidelity
Trust Co." Friday was a dark day, on
every sido ono heard of failures, many of
them mere rumors, but all lending to create
further panic. Saturday it becanto more
quietly aud to-day seems to have almost
subsided. Men o( finance say it will be
productive of good, and that it will result
in the Government taking some steps to
the easing of the mouey stringency, con
tending that there is a shortness of money
in the country with which (o do business,
enabling tho gamblers of Wall street nnd
our 3d street, to lock it up when they sec
fit and create panics.
Wednesday last was the Aniversary of
the Battle of Antietara, aud occurring the
same day of the week that the Battle did.
Tho day was chosen as the time for decor
ating a Monument to the fallen Soldiers of
Delaware county at Chester. Theceremo
uies were coudiiclcd by Wilde Post No. 25
G. A. U. who extended nn invitation to lie
present to the G. A. R. in the City. The
latter left here at 2.30, arriving nt 3.07 P. M.
nnd were met by the procession at the de
pot, proceeding ul o.ico to the cemetery
about a mile beyond the depot. Here the j
monument had been erected upon a benu-
titul knoll, overlooking the valley and the ;
Bay, for many miles in extent. A platform ;
had been erected to tho right of the uionu- i
ment for speakers and visitors. After
prayer the History of the monument was I
read by Col. Gray, to whom the success of i
the project was greatly Iuo after which j
came the oration by Col. .1. W. Forney, of;
this City, preceded however by the uu
veiling of the monument, and dining its
continuance the Artillery fired a salute from j
a neighboring hillside. The monument i
was a beautiful! piece of work, grand In !
inception and execution, being a Soldier j
"at rest." The turned up corners of the j
Cartridge Box, thu screws t.f tho musket,
the wrinkles in the overcoat, the counte
nance, everything was perfect, and I would
respectfully susiirest to your monument
committee to visit it. It was cast by Root
Wood & Co. of this City, but I've forgotten
the designors name, uu eastern man. The
military. Fire lcpartmeuiaud G. A. R. re
formed the line and marcltcd back to C1ie
ter, where we dismissed to wander around
the old city. It is a very busy thriving
place, largely interested iu ship building,
and has growu very fast in Urn last ten
years. At ono time it was thu t-ouuty
seat, but it was removed to Media at a
time wheu Chester seemed asleep ami
Media to be going rapidly ahead, now the
order is reversed. From its Port, Franklin
sailed as Embasador to Franco, aud thu
honor is claimed for it of lieing the Bile first
chosen by Win. Peiin, for this city, but
finally this point with the Schuylkill on the I
r... t.;,i, n.wl 11,. I.. .... .1... ,l,nH ....... '
irwu c.uu titivi , titu uu iiiu Him I n
chosen. Chestcrites still contend it wns a
very unwise choice. While rambliug
around I called at the office of "The Even
iug News," aud received a cordial welcome
from comrade W. A. Todd the editor, a
member of Post 25, who afterwards at the
Banquet made the address of welcome.
Looking over his spicy little sheet, 1 saw
the advertisement of Dr. C. Aulhur former
ly olMmbuiy, Ixit it was too late to call
upou him. At 7 o'clock the visiting Posts
assembled and were nmrchert to National
Hall, where we were entertained handsome
ly, as line a banquet as I ever partook of,
toasts, sjH'eches, songs, recitations, music
by the band, (Fairmouut accompanying
our Post from this City,) and a short march
to the depot, where at a lato hour of the
night we embarked, with '"threo times
three" for Chester and Post 25, for the city,
arriving in the "wee small hours," well
pleased with our trip, and ready for ano
ther, completed the day.
Since commencing this we hear rumors
of other suspensions, principally among the
State Bauks, and we fear all is not going
as well as wo had hoped. Friday next, thu
20th, the new Masonic Temple is to be de
dicated. It promisscs to be a grand parade,
and a gala day to the fraternity. The tem
ple now completed, is a gem, aud the
grandest in the country,if uot iu tho world.
I will leave it for my next, as I've no doubt
overrun the bounds iu length,
