Eli L A KGEM KNT OF THE "AMERICAN."
Wo propose, in a few weeks, to enlarge
tlio American by adding a column to each
page, so that wo will bo enabled to give
more reading matter to on- patrons.
making these impro'iouts we will bo
compelled to make nn outlay of some fifteen
hundred doUars. Xc therefore appeal to
our frieuds to leud us their assistance to
effect this enterprise, and exert themselves
in sending us subscriptions and job work.
Tlio American will be published at the
same rate as now, viz, SI SO in advance, or
82 if not paid in advance This rule will,
however, be mora 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 contemplated improve
ment. The Republican Candidates. The
nominees of the Republican party in this
county are all men of the highest respecta
bilitymen of integrity and honesty. Dr.
"Wagenscller for State Senator, is a gentle
man well qualified for that position. IIo
is a man of rare ability, and his election
will be an honor to the district. Dr. Wa
genscller was a gallant soldier, and served
with distinction through the entire war. In
this viciuity the people are most particular
ly interested in the contest. It is positive
ly known that Mr. Dill the opponent of Dr.
"Wagenscller, is Col. JleCiure's caudid ile,
and if elected is pledged to support all 3.1c
Clure's fanaticisms. All men employed on
public works are therefore personally inte
rested, Bs McClure's monopoly schemes are
calculated to oppress the poor, and if Mr.
Dill is elected he will add one more vote to
wards that object.
Tor Assembly Dr. W. J. ITaas and Capt.
Geo. Lovett are both gentlemen who have
sprung from the laboring classes, and who
fully understand the wants of the working
class of people. They are both men of abi
lity, and wherever knowu .they will carry
the entire working classes with them.
The candidate for Register and Recorder,
Capt. Caldwell, has all the requisite quali
fications for the position. He is a gentle
man of the highest character for integrity
and honesty. His war record is knowu to
nearly every man, woman and child in the
couuty. As ft private citizen ho ranks
among the highest as a man of good char
acter. The Captain has always been a
staunch Republican, and we know has
worked harder, and risked more to main
tain the purity of the ballot box, and
put in office honest mcr1, than any man in
too coal region. To him belongs a large
share of the honor iu bringing about a re
formation in the a flairs of our county. Ev
ery unbiased person will readily admit
that Capt. Caldwell is entitled to recogni
tion for his persistent labors iu the sup
pression of the bad slate of affairs which
existed iu the county but a few years ago.
For Commissioner Adam Lenker has
but few equals for that position. His large
experience as a contractor and iu business
transactions, iu which he has exhibited
more than ordinary judgment, well qualify
Lira to perform the duties of that otliee. lie
will make au honest and careful oflicer.and
all who know him will admit that the atfuirs
of our county will be conducted iu a safe
manner under his supervision. In his
own township there will be but few votes
cast ag'aiust him.
The candidate for Treasurer, Mr. -Sa-vidgo,'is
well known throughout the coun
ty, and the county finances iu his hands,
will not only lie safp; but will bo guarded
by-a faithffll and honest servant.
rr Jury Commissioin r aud Auditor
no better selections could Lave been uinde.
Mr. Leighow is a gentleman of the highest
respectability, well knowu throughout the
couuty as an upright and impartial gentle
man. Mr. Priestly is a practical business
man, a good accountant, and a gentleman
"i nniuvi:u-iiamo cnarueiiT. in sucli a
ticket the Republican party can feel a just
pride, and those who may not support it,
will at least d us the justice of admitting
that the men presented by the Republican
party are just what we here state.
Ma. Eicjioltz in tho Democrat last
week, again tries to defend his Ring
caudidate, Dr. Dewitt, by deuying that his
voice was weak last winter in calling for
the yeas aud nays on the Salary grab ques
tion. If Dr. Dewitt had been sincere iu
his opposition to that question of raising
his salary, he would no doubt have entered
his protest on the Journal tho samo as
other members. Unfortunately the Doctor's
name does not appear in tho proceedings
at any time during tho discussion of the
question. Yet it is well knowu that he
tried to make himself conspicuous on near
ly every question brought before the House.
As soon os Mr. Eicholtz can show by the
proceedings. of the Legislature that the
Doctor did oppose the .Salary grab the peo
pie will change their opinion, aud wo de-
mand of our neighbor,-that he will do his
mend the justice nud publish tho proceed
iu full.
pTTiw nrr Tint T)eht. The allega
tion that tho present Republican board of
Commissioners aro paying off tho couuty
dobt is the shallowest sort oi ciap-irnp,
on ft general par with the polo-cat and
mink literature- from the same quarter a
year ago. What would tho Commissioners
do with, tne large nmouui m ...u.iuj ..,.
leclcd yearly from the people if they did
not use it for county purposes ? All for
mer boards ofComtuissioncrs have used the
money honestly, and their accounts havo
yearly been audited by n competent board
of Auditors. Every board of Commission
ers since the building of the Court House
has been paying off the county debt. 1 ho
present board has been no less, if not more
extravagant than former boards.
It may be regarded by the flnirncan as ft
great wonder that the money coiicciou uy
the present boord is not stolen, but every
body e lse would of course expect that they
would perform ft simpla official duty by
putting it to legitimate purposes". Demo
crat f last u-ak.
By the above it will bo seen that our
neighbor of tho Dcmocrt! is again trying to
deceive tho people. In an advertisement
in his own paper, notico is given by tho
Commissioners to those holding orders to
resent them for payment before the loth
" -r November, and that -interest will
n Ti " i,r t,)nt datc- rl,v" U wlU be 8CCU

110 ,act Mlint the present board of
Commissioners moan business, and that
tax payers will r .... juv ,...
tween (' countv officers of to-day aud
thopp -i.o formerly conducted the offices
under tho Rule of the Ring. There may
be some who do not understand why the
county debt is beiug paid off during the
first year that the Republicans have con
trol of the offices, when formerly the in
debtedness was annually on tho increase.
We would remind all such that tho pre
sent officers do uot feel disposed to fleece the
tax-payers, and those who formerly held
the offices are considerably non-plussed
because their bills arc cut down to what
tho law allows them. It is perhaps sur
prising that the county did not assume a
worse state of affairs from the recklessness,
negligence aud extravagance of tho officials.
Wc will enumerate some 80 that the peo
ple will understand how the taxes were ap
plied, and how the Republicans have man
aged to pay off the Democratic indebted
ness of about -21,000, in one year. Ou ex
amining the records wo fiud that the out
standing taxes are being collected aud pro
perly applied, saving the county over three
thousand dollars interest. Over SI, 200
were cut down on bills of former officers,
held against the county, to which they
were not entitled. From eight to ten thou
sand dollars have beeu saved the county by
cutting down road damages which were for
merly allowed, and which the law does not
provide for. Over twelve huudred dollars
have been recovered from old duplicates
where collectors were charged a less
amount than the duplicate amounted to.
Many old duplicates have uot been settled
on account of Ring collectors refusing to
come forward and make settlement, which
looks a little suspicious. There is a consi
derable amount iu duplicates of three and
four years ago, which ought to have been
paid in the treasury long since, hut as the
collectors have not come forward tho Com
missioners are now compelling them to a
SPttlumeut as epoolily nn oanlulu. -A onr
neighbor of the Democrat admits that ,
0S0 15 was paid in the year 1872 for skunk
scalps, the amount paid in 18;t, was only
$.11 0"), owing to tho action of our present
Commissioners, leaving a balance in favor
of the county over the former year of 1.
92$ 50.
By examining the records wc also find
that during the past year, in the Prothono
tary's office, about $1,000 was saved by tho
economy and management of that officer.
The costs in the Commissioner's office is
about nine hundred dollars less than for
merly. The Sheriff's office has been con
ducted in such a manner that over a thou
sand dollars have been saved tho couuty,
although there was a larger number of cri
minals than in nuy former year. These
are facts which may bo ascertained by ex
amining tho records, and which the next
county auditor's report will show.
With such a contrast in tho management
of our county offices, between the Ring offi
cials and those of the Republican party, we
doubt whether our neighbor will be able to
deceive the taxpayers any longer by such
paragraphs as the above. We believe that
the taxpayers, whose pockets have been
probed to the bottom, will agree with us,
lhat it is better to vote for Republican oth-
cers than those connected with the Ring
Democracy, who created the county
debt which is now being wiped out.
Previous to the election last fall, Mr.
Lcituel Shipman was ecn in Sunbury daily
consulting wilh the members of the Ring.
Ou Saturday previous to the election, ho
and one of the King oflicers started ou a
tour through the lower end of the county,
to deceive the people by circulating that
Pat. Hester had beeu pardoned by the Re
publicans. The citizens of the Mahanoy'a
will, no doubt, remember meeting tho party
on Sunday, as they were reluming from
tho houso of worship, and wero hailed and
iuforrued lhat Pat. Hester was set free, for
the purpose of influencing their vote on tho
Tuesday fullowiug. Mr. Shipman, has
again made Sunbury his headquarters, aud
is seen almost daily on our streets consult
ing with the same party. What deception
they intend to practice upon the people thih
election will soon be seen. Wo noticed
lately all the Ring candidates iu town, even
Mr. l)ill candidate for Senator, aud we
would uot be at all surprised if there was
a gii?antie move ou f.iot to get up the
greatest deception, to deceive the people
just previous to the election, that has ever
lieen practiced upon citizens ol any cotn-
ruuuity.
Every clfort is made by the Ring De
mocracy to have Lemuel Shipman elected
to the ortice of Registei t.t d Rccordor, bo
as to have an otliee in the Court House as
a rendezvous, and with au expectation to
re-establish the former state of affairs iu
tho Court Houso. Iot every voter reflect
before he casts his ballot aud fcee whether
by voting for Shipman, be is not doiug an
act that will be an injury to himself and
the community.
Ourt neighbor of tho Democrat after hav
ing aided the Ring to deceive foreign born
citizens by promising them ofllco year af
ter year, and when put hi nomination,
aided as readily In defeating them, now
turns up his proboscis ot tho Republican
candidate for Assembly, Capt. Lovett, be
cause ho is on Irishman. Wc do not pre
scribe any man on nccount of his nation
ality, nor do we bclicvo in deceiving any
ono in order to catch their votes like our
neighbor. Rut we havo always assumed
the right to denounce openly all who we
did not believo were fitted for the position,
the same as many of our neighbor's Ring
candidates. As we havo known Capt.
Lovett since the outbreak of the rebellion,
and known him to be a worthy citizen,
well quallificd for the position, it affords us
great pleasure in giving him our hearty
support, and we will as readily endorse any
other foreign born citizen that may como
before the public with as pure a character
as Capt. Lovett. Our only regret is that
we could never support our neighbor lor
the same reasons.
The nominees of tho Republican party
of this county aro all p'odged to au honest
administration of the finances. Tho ro-
cord of tho officials now iu ofllco is such
that will commend itself to every voter h
respective of party. In tho election of tho
nominees tho party will see that the pledge
i 1 ...... ... - - "
conducted iu the same economical manner
as they have been during the past year.
Siuce'notice is given that the whole couuty
aebt is to be wiped out by the 15th of No
vember, ft uow state of thiugs will be inau'
gutatcd, and our county put in a better
tinaucial condition than it has been since
its organization. Tho people knowing this
to be a fact, wo do not believe that any
voter will cast his vote against his own in
terest. The fact that the county officers will
pay oft' tho county debt this year without
increasing taxation, and at the same timo
being at a heavy expense in making re
pairs to the Court House, which was in a.
wretched condition, besides building new
bridges, &c, thereby saving over 3,000 in
terest annually, will uo doubt cause many
of the tax-payers to inquire as to what was
done with the taxes for ten years past.
Perhaps our neighbor of the Democrat can
answer the question, as ho was cU-scly iden
tified with tho "Ring."
One of the arguments used by the Dem
ocrat in favor of Lemuel Shipman is, that
he was "prison guard of Jeff Davis when
that diyniteiry was iu confinement." Docs
the Democrat intend to insinuate that Mr.
Shipman feels that he was highly honored
in being near the person of that diynitaty,
as the editor respectfully calls him. Per
sous less respectful would have called Mr.
Eichholtz's dignitary a traitor.
Tiik editor of tho Democrat has had a
cousultatiou with Dr. DeWitt concerning
what he said about tho "-Iwprjeiin." The
result is a mouthful of vulgar expletives,
and other doctor stuff which he could not
swallow, but which he put iu his paper.
THE Democrat ofll.o loth
u;t savs ihu
Court House debt of nearly hundred thou
sand dollar was paid off every year since.
Last week that miiic paper says that the
amount was paid oll'by a 1 emocratic board.
The fact is there was a special tax levied
wheu the Court llo'isi) was beiug built for
the full amount. Now
stte what became
collected, and if used
how the present debt of 21,000, which the :
commissioners aro now paying off, was
created.
The old Dodge Oveh Aoaix. Mr.
Shipman is trying to get Republicaus to vole
for him by circulating that certain Repub
licans will support him iu other districts,
then goes to the panics meuuoneu auu lens i
them that the ones first approached will
support him, when iu fact both parlies are
opposed to him. This is an old dodo of
Iemuels, and every Republican (should be
on his guard aud not allow himself to be
deceived.
Death of a 1 1 ero. Admired AVins
low of tho United States navy, who com
manded the Kearsae iu the memorable
light with the rebel pirate Alabama, died at
his residence is Dubtuu llighlauds, on Mon
day last.
Tiik Philadelphia papers say that on last
1- riday the city was luller ot guests llian
itl.ad everbeeuatanypmiod oi its lustory,
and than it will be until lh,0, when
tlio worM will gather there to celebrate the
hundredth anniversary of political and re
ligious freedom on this continent.
The occasion of this immense influx of
of visitors is the grand display of the Ma
sonic Temple, on Rroad street. It has at
tracted visitors from almost every town and
village iu the land.
Tim bands of the country which have
used their money for the accommodation
of the business men of tho community in
which they may be located, will remain
sound and sull'er but little from tho preseut
tinaucial crisis. Those, however, which
had large deposits with city bauks and
bunkers, for the purpose of speculation and
receiving high rates of interests, to tho de
triment of their home customers, will lie
heavy losers, aud will uot receive much
sympathy when their losses are made
kuow.
National Ikon Works. Under the
direction of Iho Assignee, these works were
sold on Tueday last at Philadelphia, to
Win. R. Shaw of Washington city, for the
sum of 708,000. The mortgages ou the
property amount to 5r7.'8,000 in the aggro
gale, hence tho 10,000 additional realized
from the sale above thnt sum, will uot more
than liquidate legal and other incidental ex
penses, leaving nothing to meet tho claims
held by the workmen against tho concern.
Xekds Repairing. The litigation be
tween tho Danville & Hazlctou railroad,
and the towuship of Rush, has resulted iu
leaving tho wagon road arouud tho base of
the liluu Hill ou the opposite side of the
river iu a most scandalous, condition for
travel. At every few rods, iu song; cases

ootvstant travel has woru the lower side lo
that extent that in some places the incline
will upset a hay wagon or auy vehicle

of iho road now, and every day will make
it worse. We know not which of the parties
are answerable for tho road beiug in such a

THE AITEAR ANU5 OS liROAD 6TREET
DUU1NO THE PARADE.
The lino cominf around tho corner of
Broad and Filbert streets, moved up the
street in sectious cf six, nt a distance of six
feet apart, pursuait to orders, and when
just above Arch hiltcd to await the coming
up of divisions, vhich had formed some
distance off.
As soon as tho lne was intact tho com
mand to move wi again given, and the
Allentown Cornet 3and, nt the head, struck
up ft march. Thelodges all presented au
imposing appcanuce, and one seemed to
Vie with tho other In their black suits,
with "silk tiles," Iwy truly made a host
of accomplished gmleman a credit to any
organization. TLej trod - like soldiers,
never once brcakiie iteps and in their uni
vt motion, iooked like ft huge ma
chine moving indc-r tho guidance of a single
band. At every point they were hailed by
thu waving of hankercliier and raising of
hats, all of which were gratetully acknow
ledged by .he individual participants. The
entire city was out chaperoning its euests,
and no ones view was intercepted. It was
intended tc march to Columbia avenue,
and then retirn on the cast side, but tho
extended lensth of the line rendered it ne
cessary to ontinua up above Diamond
street. It wa hero that tho procession
ret rograded anj marched down . Tho timo
taken up in pasting a given point was at
least two hours and a half. An occasional
halt was rendered ueecssary, but with this
exception, the lire moved without a singlo
interruption.
Spectators kept clear of tho street, by
which means a view of the entire proces
sion was easily had. and when it was con
cluded, people returned to their homes to
talk over the evens of tho morning, nnd
await tlio return lomo of their Masonic re
latives and fricndi.
After the grand public display on Broad
street the ceremonies of dedication proper
took place, and tlry commenced as soon as
all those who wen eulitlcd lo the privilege
had entered the Temple.
In strict accordance with Masonic rites,
the dedication should have cmmeuccd ftt
high noon, but ow ng to tlio immensity of
tho affair, and the vast crowd who were by
right privileged to be present was after tho
legal hour when tho Right Worshipful
(iraud Master usel his gavel, or "Tongue
of the Lodge," iu tokeu lhat the dedication
was about to commence.
As soon as all were in their places and
silence prevailed, the ceremonies were pro
ceeded with.
After the ceremonies, the Grand Master
formed the procession of the Grand Lodge
and it moved three times around the town
and then, retired from the building.

to pay every dollar of its indebtedness with

nal appearance to remand the spectator of
the storm which has recently swept over
them. A great many people thought that
tho reopening of the Stock Exchange would
be the signal for n renewal of panic, but All
such forebodings have proved false, and
the "balls" and nnd "bears" to-day were
traiiftrcting business wilh unutttinl modera
tion. On tho whole the te.m)r of the street
is one of disappointment ot the low price of
stocks, the dulness of gold, ami tin- absence
of sales under the rule. Everybody has his
secret of the panic, and few mean to tell
them. Tlio close shaves from suspension,
which were made closo shaves and not fail
ures by the timely closing of tho Exchange,
will be forgotten by the mass of brokers
when three days of grace allowed by tho
resolution of the Governing Committee
have passed over and the inactivity in stocks
may bo due to a settling up of old scores
before there arc any heavy obligations in
curred by new business.
The banks and bankers are all busy, nnd
already tho activity in deposits show the
consequence of tho rcopeniug of tho Stock
Exchange. The clearances of tho banks
were made on time this momma, and a
visit to several of the heavy ones shows that
the currency is still coming in, and the de
mands from the country have steadily de
creased siuce Saturday. Willi tho private
banking-houses there is rather more than
the aulicipated business, and if there is
no new "Hurry" in Walt street, there will
bo a quiet settling dowu and a general set
tling 'up, so that the suspended houses may
resume payment without a. heavy sacrifice
of collaterals for loans made by them or a
loss upon their own securities.

It is uot only the best thing ever knowu, us
everybody will confess, for bruises, cuts,

of action. In the great cities of Uritish
India and the West India Islands and
other hot climates, it has become the stand
ard medicine for all such complaiuts, as well
as dyspepsia, liver complaint, ana omer
kindred disorders. For coughs and colds,

it has beeu proved by the mostahuudaut aud

Tbat the Pain-Killer is deserving of all its

the uuparalled poplarity it has attained.
It is a ur and effective remedy. It is sold
in almost every country in the world, and
is becomiug mora auu more popular
