Circulation of any paper published lit
Northern Peiiiti'lvAnlat mill Is alto n
much larger ehect than tiny of 11 totem
porarlei and Is therefore the best medium
for adTertltlng In thla lection ofthe State.
(TiIR following nttlclo should liavo appeared In
our last number, but was excludod by tlio prcs
uro or other matter.
Tho Columbian.
It is a fit tlrao to rcfor to tlio career of
thlsjourrml, upon tbo occailon of Its
salo nnd Its pacing Into now manage
ment. Thu paper has been very suc
cessful, and all connected with It may
feel satisfaction nntl pridoln its past ca
reer and In its present position.
Toward tho closo of 1800, for reasons
which it is not necessary now to mon
tion, a number of gentlemen of this
county thought it advisablo to establish
a now Democratic Journal at Blooms
burg, and for that purposo nbout $2,700
was subscribed, and tho Columbian,
(which had been published for some
months as an Independent Journal,)
was purchased. Col. Freezo was select
ed as editor of tho new paper nnd tho
first number was issued January 4,
1807. It started with a subscription of
about l,100,composcd of the old Colum
iuan list and now subscriptions, many'
of which wcro for threonudslx months,
many duplicated mid somo unauthor
ized. After tho issuo of a few numbers
Col. Freezo becamo dangerously ill,nnd
after somo hesitation, Capt. 13 rock way
accepted tho position of editor, and
then and subsequently bought out tho
sovcral stockholders, nud bo:amo tho
owner of tho establishment. Ho was
wholly unacquainted with tho duties of
ajouraallst, but entered upon his task
with a determination to succeed.
Tho first important Improvement in
trod uced Into tho establishment was a
steam power press, by which tho regu
lar work of printing tho paper and
cotnoof tho extra work, has sliico been
performed. About tho samo tlmo tho
Jobbing facilities of tho establishment
wero materially increased and im
proved. The next step takon was tho
enlargement of the papor to its present
size, thus increasing greatly thoamotint
of reading matter in its columns, and
affording full spaco for advertisements.
Many friends of tho proprietor advised
against these measures of improvement
as loo expensive, but tho result has vin
dicated what was done.
Finally, on tho 1st of January, 18G9,
tho (Star & Democrat olllco was pur
chased, and tho subscription list of that
paper added to tho list of tho Colum
bian, raising tho latter up to nearly
2,500. A stronger financial basis and a
Just increase of Influence for tho paper,
were secured by this purchase.
Now tho paper passes into tho hands
of Mr. Dlelfenbach with an established
position and with a fair promlsoof con
tinued success. Its late conductor feels
that bo has fulfilled his mission in car
lying it through its first years of trial
and in now passing .it over to an ablo
and worthy successor who will givo to
It undivided attention, and by his man
ner of conducting it, retain tho confi
dence, respect nnd patronago of tho
public.
Tho Election of Directors of tho
roor for tho Bloom District.
Tho voters of llloomsburg and of tho
townships of Scott, Greenwood ami Sit
garlonf nro to elect tlireo Directors of
tho I'oor, at tho approaching election
under tho plan of tho freo vote. Tho
llloom l'oor District now Includes tho
town and townships nboo mentioned,
and Inasmuch as a majority of tho vo
ters therein uro Democrats, it follows
that two of tho Directors fairly bolong

Captain Brockway's Prospects.
Each week adds cumulative ovidenco
of tho certainty of Capt. Drockway's
election, if Columbia and Montour
counties but do their duty. In Wyo
ming tho Democratic and Conservative
elements aro hard at work, and Capt.
Brockway's speech at tho Court House
in Tunkhannock, gavo universal satis
faction, Tlio enemy aro apathetic, and
havo two candidates for tho Legislature
which is dividing tho pnrty there.
In Sullivan, tho enthusiasm never
was higher. Capt. Brockway always
was n favbrlto thero, and his nomina
tion gives unusual satisfaction. Many
Republicans havo pledged themselves
to his support. Tho slaughter of Sulli
van's candldato for tho Legislature.and
tho removal of tried Republicans from
office, havo added to the disaffection.
In Bradford tbo Republicans aro di
vided, and split into factions. They
havo two independent candidates for
Judge, and much bitterness exists. Two
years ago Morcur agreed not to bo a
candldato for ro-clection, nnd Landon
and his friends arotaxinghim with tsil
faith.
Thowholo question then rests with
Columbia and Montour countlos. Will
thoy by indlflVrenco or intestine feuds,
defeat tho candldato they selected. An
opportunity is offered to defeat Mercur,
and to attain this end every effort should
be made, every nervo strained, and
overy Demojratio or Conservative votor
be brought to the polls. It Is not so
much the success of nu Individual as of
principle, and each man is as much In
terested in success as tho candidate.
It is of courses but rcabonablo nnd
Just that tho Rcpubllcanmlnorlty should
bo allowed to chooso ono of tho three
Directors, nnd tho freo voto secures to
them that privilege. Each of their vo
tors can givo liii thrco votes to ono can
dldato nud mako tho election of such
candldato a cortaluty. But tho Repub
licans havo nominated two candidates
and will try to elect both through tho
inattention or complaisance of Demo
cratic voters. Tlio latter will bo ap
pealed to in Bloomsburg nnd in Green
wood, respectively, to voto forn Repub
lican neighbor; to divide their votes
between n Republican nud n Demo
cratic candldato. It is to bo hoped that
no such voting will take placo, so ns to
endanger a fair and proper result, u n
dcrtho old majority rule such manage
ment of votes was sometimes proper or
o.Ycuablo in electing local officers, be
causo it was the only way in which
they could bo divided between parties
when It was desired that an election
should not bo strictly political, and that
both sides should bo represented. But
under Mr. Buekalow's now plan each
party can get their fair share of offices
by their ou-n votes and without any
compromiso or arrangement with
the other side. So tho wholo question
of accommodation votes is changed by
thoabrogatlon of tlio majority rulo and
tho substitution of a plan of proportion
al lopresontation.
Tho two Democratic nominees should
thoieforo bo supported by every Demo
crat of tho District in order that u fair
result .:li al 1 bo produced.
Tlio tickets to bo printed and distrib
uted will be in the following form :
Stephen II. Miller, 1 votes,
William Kramer, 1J votes.
In tallying the votes, tho election of
ficers may writo down tho namo of a
candidato on tho tally paper with tlio
figures on tho tickets attached, thus
"Stephnn II. Miller, I" and then
mark the tickets In scores of fivo toward
tho right as in common practice, adding
GO per cent, to the total at tho end
Thus, if 100 of euch tickets aro tallied,
they will bo carried out 100 plus CO,
equals lo0 votes. (It will bo convenl
ent to encloso tlio figures "1J" at tho
end of tho candidate's namo with a
circle, so as to separate them distinctly
from tho scoring which follows.) By
this manner of counting fractional
votes, tho figures put at tho end of tho
candidate's namo bceomo a sign of val
ue for tho strokes which follow, mid tho
half votes aro not actually or separate
ly scored down but added at tho end of
tho line. Tiio operation is very uimjilo
and convenient. If tickets with wholo
votes alono aro vatcd for tho samo can
didate, they should be scored on nsepa
ra to lino ubovo or below tho others and
carried out and added to tho total of the
others at the proper place.
The Boor Director supplement under
which this election of Directors is to
tako place, was approved March 28,
1870, and Is to bo found in tho volunio
of laws of last session, P. Oil.
local Officers for Bloomsburs.
At tho approaching election tho voters
of Bloomsburg nro to chooso tho follow
ing town officers:
Two Constables,! wo Assessors of taxes
and two Assistant Assessor, all to hold
for ono year terms j
Thrco Town Auditors nnd two S-'hoot
Directors, to hold for thrco year terms.
Theso officers aro all to ho chosmi upon
tho plan of tho freo voto and by voters
of tho wholo town without distinction
of Districts. Then tho voters of Hist
and West Bloomsburg, rospecttvoly,aro
to chooso tho usual officers of olcctlon
In their districts for tho ensuing year.
Thero Is no division of tlio town for any
purposo oxcopt merely that of tlio poll
ing of votes; thcroaro two election dis
tricts, and tho electors In each chooso
their own election board, but otherwise
tho town remains in point of law and
in fact onllro and umltvldod.
In choosing tlio ub'jvo town olllcors,
tho Democrats will, of coitrsj, voto for
but ono Constable, ono Assowor, ono
Assistant Assessor and onu School Di
rector, giving to each of their candid
ates two votos; also for two town Aud
itors, giving to each of tholrcandldatcs
for that olfiec. ono-and-a-lialf votes. No
doubt (ho Republicans will voto in thu
Mini) manner, and tho luovltablo result
will bo that each party will get a Con
ntidile, Assessor, Assistant Assessor and
School Director, and whichever ono has
a majority of votes will get two of tho
thrco town Auditors. Probably nil tho
candidates voted for will bo elected ox
copt one for Auditor. Tho two parties
being of nearly equal In strength in town
tho above results take placo naturally
and properly and will bo completely
Just.
But us u nomination for a town ofilco
under tho now plan, (no nutter by
which party) will bo almost equivalent
to an election, nominations should bo
very carefully made. Fortunately, tho
new plan Invito to good nominations
.ind enables parties to mako them moro
readily than heretofore. Good men
will be moro willing to accept and even
to seek njuilnations when thoy can feel
certain of an election by tho votes of
their friends, and will not ba called up
on, as candidates, to confront tlio dis
comforts and perils of an old-fashioned
struggle under tho majority rulo.
Wo havo spoken of tho town offices to
be regularly filled at this tinio under
tho Bloomsimrg act and tho general
election laws. But there Is an addition
al office to bo filled in consequenco of
the death of J. II. Formal), Esq., ono
of our Justices of the Peace. His suc
cessor is to bo chosen at this election for
a full ilvo year term.
Admiral rarrag-ut.
To-morrow, October 1st, Now York
City is to pay to tho deceased Admiral
tho funeral honors which his services to
tho country fully deserve. It Is said
that tho President will bo present,
which may probably bo thocasoif noth
lngof moro interest intervenes. It may
be remembered that at tho obsequies
somo timesiuco no Government official
of rank was present or took auy part In
tho ceremonies. Tho attendance of the
President is a dubious compliment to
tho dead hero, and will hardly suflico to
convinco the nation of ids appreciation
of tho merits of tho greatest man the
war produced. Admiral Furragut boro
uncomplainingly ihoslights and insults
hoaped upon him by that very small
man in high position, Mr. vlco Ad ml
ral Porter nnd Iiiseolectcirclo of friends
and wo rejoico that tho great city of
New York is to offer so substantial a
rebuko to tho Government which could
allow a great man lo bo put uwny with
out a recognition of Ids merits. Tfeithor
Mr. Grant nor Admiral Porter aro men
of sufficient calibre- to griovo seriously
over tho removal of lilm who was tho
country's favorite, and whoso glorlos
totally eclipsed thoso conferred on them
by n too indulgent people.
Hon. It. C. Gkieji, cx-Justico of tho
Supremo Court of tho United States,
died In Philadelphia ou Monday last,
eged 70 years. Ho was admitted to tho
tar in 1817 in (his town, and practiced
hero a short tiino.
Mercur on the Incomo 7az.
Mr. Mercur admits that ho voted
against a repeal of tho Incomo tnx, vo
ted ngalnst reducing It from fi to ft per
cent, and voted against exempting in
comes between $1,000 and 2,000 per
annum from Iho tax. But ho pleads
that tho tax Is mainly paid by tho rich
nnd that ofilcinl salailcsshould bo taxed,
This was his argument or excuso on
Monday night. Wo answer that
an income tax ou salaries is not
tho point in dispute. If too much
compensation Is fixed by lawforFederal
Olllco holders, let their salaries bo re
dueed or taxed down. Tho truo nues
tion is, upon tho taxation of business
and other Incomes not official, which
produces tho great bulk of tho revenue
from this sourco. Should tho eitizons
generally bo taxed upon Incomes'.' That
It is an improvident tax, even If fairly
imposed nnd collected, has been clearly
shown by writers upon political ccono
my both In this country nnd abroad and
It has been defended, when defended nt
all, upon the ground of necessity. It
was properly a war-tax when Imposed
by Congress and ought not, on general
principles, to bo retained In timo of
peace. And tho argument against it
becomes completo when tho rovenuos of
tho Government aro nbundant nnd Con
gross is employed upon tho reduction
of taxes.
But tho tax Is oxtromely unfair nnd
to a great extent uncollectablo. It Is
practically Inequltablo and unjust bo
causo It is not possiblo to ascertain tho
Incomo of individuals. Tho conso
quenco is, that not ono in four Ilablo to
tho tax pay it, and of thoso who do pay
but a small part pay njust amouut.
fow conscientious men report their In
comes truly and pay ajust tax, but tho
great mass of moneyed mon oscapo tho
tax In wholo or in part. In short, tho
incomo lax law as u rovenuo nicasuro in
timo of peace, Is most odious, Improvl
dent and unjust.
Mr. Mercur mentioned that Mr.
T. Stewart's Inconioono ycaramountci
to $1,800,000, but ho failed to Muto that
tho great merchant did not pay for that
yonr an Incomo tax on one-tenth of that
amount. A tax on sales (uullko tho In
come lax) reached tho morchnnt princes
directly and vlTuctmUyJuluJlepublkun
Congress repeated It.
Democratic Sown nominations.
At the request of many Democratic
voters of Bloomsburg, and In tho ab
seiico of any local Committee to which
they can appeal, I hereby givo notice
that nn election to nominate Democrat
ic candidates for town offices to bo fill

Grant's Rawlins Subscription.
Tho Improved Times of yesterday
contained what It called an authorized
denial from President Grant that Flsk
and Gould paid his thousand-dollar
subscription to tho Rawlins fund. A
.Vim reporter called on Col. Fisk in tho
course or tho day, and finding him Im
mersed In n study of tho map of East
ern Asia, coughed to attract his atten
tion, and when ho had gained his point,
immediately plunged into tho subject
by saying:
"Colonel, what havo you to say about
that articlo in tlio Times this morning,
In which President Grant Is represent
ed to havo denied tho payment by you
nnd Mr. Gould of his subscription to
tho Rawlins fund?"
"What I havo lotay lo that," replied
Col. Fisk, ''Is, that It is no denial of our
statement at all. Tlio fact that Mr.
Grant paid $2,000 subscription If It bo
a fact has nothing to do with his not
paying a $1,000 subscription. Wo don't
know anything nbout that $2,000 mat
ter; but wo do know all about that
1,000 affair. Mr.Grant's relatloils with
Gen. Rawlins havo nothing to do with
tho question either; and I am not going
to allow him to hide from publlu dis
gust In tills matter by invoking tho
memory of that distinguished and ho-
loved man. What 1 want Mr. Grant
to answer is this : Did ho or did ho not
subscribe $1,000 to tho Riwlins fund
got up by Qon. Buttorllcld hi this city'.'
And thou I want him to nnswer this
question: Did ho pay that thousand
dollar subscription, or was it not paid
by us with Mr. Gould's check? That's
tho point involved. That's the ques
tion at issue. Whether Rtwlinsdled
indebted to Grant, and If so, whether
Grant destroyed tho evidences of that
indebtedness, and now 'authorizes' the
nublieation of that nerformanco to
wound tho feelings of his friend's wid
ow and half-orphan children, aro mat
ters with which wo havo had nothing
to do, thank Ooill Wo havo never
raised auy such issuo. Wo leave Grant
to abldo tho consequences of introduc
ing such now matter, ns tlio lawyers
say, into tho case. What wo say is,
that Grant subscribed $1,000 to tho
Rawlins fund got up hero In Now York
by General Butterfield, and that wo
paid that subscription for him with
Mr. Gould's check, as stated in tho Sun
yesterday. Now let Grant or his 'au
thorlzed' agent deny that if ho will,
and then we'll show tlio public our
proofs. Wo aro not going lo bo led
astray from this issuo by any special
pleading, or by tho introduction of ir
relevant matter. Wo plant ourselves
on that ono point ns to this business,
Wo havo enough other sharp sticks for
Grant whenever wo choo3o to prod him
with them. But ono thing at n timo is
our motto. That's tho way our pros
pority comes. Tlio American Eaglo is
our bird, and Graut can't get us into
chasing any of I1I3 barnyard bantams
whilo that monarch of tho air soars in
triumph over tlio Western Continent.'
That is what tho Colonel said about
It. A'ew York Sun.
Tdcrcur on Tig Iron.
Mr. Mercur in his speech here 011 Mon
day evening did not deny his voto in
Congress to rcduco tho tariff on pigiron
from $0 to $7 per ton, but excused it on
tho grpund of necessity. It was tho
best that could bedono for tho iron pro
ducers, and tho other Republican mem
bcrs from Pennsylvania voted along
with him. Exactly; that Is tho pre-
ciso point. New England men demand
ed cheaper iron and Mercur & Co., in
a spirit of political subserviency voted
to nccommodato them. Ho took credit
to himself for heroic fortitude In resist
ing General Butler's additional demand
to rcduco tho duty to $3 per ton. That
concession wo supposo is deferred until
tho next Congress or tho next session.
In tho now tariffdutlcs for which Mor
cur voted, oxcellent carq was taken of
tlio East, of tlia salt monopoly of Now
York and of other special Interests little
deserving of favor, but it was so neces
sary that iron duties should go down
that Mercur himself nnd his Republi
can colleagues from Pennsylvania must
voto to rcduco them I It Is to bo remem
bered that tho IIouso Is two-thirds and
tho Sonato flvo-slxths Republican, and
tho samo party has tho President. Tho
necessity upon Mr. M. to voto down
tho Iron duty must therefore havo been
a necessity within his own party and
not ono imposed upon him from without.
Mr. Mercur was anxious to know Capt.
Brockway's position on tills subject
Tho quostion is easily answerod. IIo Is
for letting tlio duty alono, and is gen
erally opposed to subordinating Penn
sylvania Interests to thosoof Now Eng
land, That is our plain nnswer to a
superfluous question.
Oxi: of tho stupidest pieces of cam
paign lying that has fallen under mir
observation, says tlio Cincinnati JJn
quirer, is a document just put fortli by
the Radical committee at Washington
and veiy freely quoted In tho rural
newspapers. Ono of its objects is to
show a largo reduction of taxation
which wo uro asked to credit to thopres
ent administration ; nnd we nro thero
foro treated to a tabular statement from
which it would appear that taxes to
tho amount of $.'35,212,000, annually
havo been removed from tho productiv
industry of tlio country. That look:
exceedingly well on paper; but tho
samo statement claims that tho Internal
rovenuo was actually increased from
March, 1800, to May, 1S70, i00,8SO,G 10.28
Now hero wo havo two diametrically
conflicting averments ono, that our
infernal taxes havo been reduced somo
ilfty-fivo millions 11 year, and tlio other
that tho rcvonuo from that source bus
been increased to about an equal
amount. Ono or tlio other of these
might bo true, but it is apparent th
both cannot bo. Our loyal friends will
find it necessary to employ moro expert
professors of mendacity, If it is expect
ed that the public shall put faith 1
tiieiu.

It was also earned by tho Governor,
Ills record is spotless. Ho has trod tho

Ic.-s fidelity to tlio best interests of his
Statu and Its inhabitants. IIo professe
and sustained wise, necessary laws,
vetoed bad ones. IIo acted with

This idea is sheer nonsense. Prussia
will pormit no intervention in tho set
