If all the radicals who have plund

twelve years were to become con
science stricken, what a blessing it
would Ik for the country, enough of
funds would find their way back into

stolen, to pay off" the national debt.
The Legislature.
A correspondent of the Reaver Ju
dical, in his Harrisburg gossip says
that Senate and House will be organ
itcd as follows.
Hon. George H. Anderson, of Pitts
burg, will be elected Speaker of the
Senate, and Hon. Russell Krrett,
Clerk. Anderson was the Republican
nominee last Spring, and was defeated
by Col. M'Clura. lion W .Elliott will
be re-elected Speaker, for the Speak

ernor in case of death or resignation,
aud is selected at the meetiug of the
Legislature. Selfridge and Shurlock
ot vour ceunty, are candidates lor
Clerk, and the contest will be close. "
The same writer makes up a list of
candidates for the United Slates feen
atorship, in case Geo. Cameron de
clines to be a candidate. It includes
lion. 11. Bucher Swope, Judge Sco
field, Hon. John Allison, Col. M. S.

no State Treasurer to elect this winter
Mackev holding over until a law is
passed providing for an election by the
people in accordance with the amend

It is fortuuate that it is so.
He also says Hon. Wm. Meredith,

The Power to Seixe Property for
School Purposes,
Last Monday ISth, in the Supreme
Court Judge Agnew delivered the
opinion of the Court in the case of F.
J. Feme vs. the School Directors of
the Sixth ward, Allegheny, in which
the judgement of the Court below was
a writ of error to the Court of Com
mon Pleas of county, and the actioD
was brought to determine whether
School Directors have the right to en
ter upon improved property for school
purposes* Feme owned a dwelling
house adjoining the school property in
the Sixth ward, and the Board having
failed to negotiate with the owner for
it had viewers appointed, and then it
took possession of it for school purpo
ses. The case was brought in the
Court of Common Pleas to recover the
property, and a verdict for defendents
was rendered. The case was then car
ried up to the Supreme Court and the
directors again sustained.
South Carolina.
ELLIOTT, the negro candidate for
United Statee senator in South Caro
lina, iudignantlv denies the report
that he has withdrawn. In a letter to
one of the newspapers of that state he
says:
"I am a candidate for the poeition
of United States senator from this
state, and shall remain a candidate
until the final vote shall have been
reached by the general assembly*
Underlying my candidacy is a ques
tion of principle, right, and justice,
which lam determined, so far as I
am able, to have asserted, I am de
termined to have the anestion at once
settled as to whether the lack of mon
ey shall exclude men from office, or
whether those qualities alone which
can conscientiously appeal to the
higher sensibilities of oar manhood
shall prevail. My every effort shall
be to have the whole of the people of
this state, as well as of the entire
country, understand whether or not
the performance of the pledges recent
ly made by the republican p*rtf shall
be foreshadowed by the blighting in
fluence of a purchased seat in the sen
ate of the nation.
The negroes are in the majority in
both houses, and they can elect one of
their own color, unless, money induces
them to discard color. J. J. Patter
son, very recently from Juniata coun
ty, is also a candidate, and has plenty
of money to tempt the black members.
It is supposed that the democrats will
vote for Elliott.
—-FlßE.— Again we have tfio 'great ca
lamity of Chicago. October, 1(171, repeated
at Boston, November. 1872, and it is with
uleasuie that we herewith annex a partial
list of the old and reliable Insurance Com
panies, that Tiave successfully passed
through these liery ordeals. Although
having heavy losses, they have their capi
tal unimpaired
Insurance Co. of North America, of
Philadelphia. Established, 1794. Chica
go losses $508,000. Paid. Boston losses,
SBOO,OOO, being paid. Assets after paying
Boston losses, $3,000,000. Imperial, of
London, established 1803. Chicago losses,
$21,000, paid, Boston loases, $700,000. be
ing paid. Assets, $8,000,000, gold. Penn
sylvania Fire, of Philadelphia, established
1825, Chicago losses nothing, Boston losses
$300,000, being paid. After paying Bos
ton losses, assets $1,000,000. N lagara, of
New York, established, 1850, Chicago loss
es $256,000, Boston losses, $300,000, being
paid. After paying Boston losses, assets
$1,000,000. National Fire & Marine In
surance Co. of Philadelphia. Capital,
$500,000, Boston losses, .s£>.ooo. German
American Ins. Co., of N, Y., Assettc-s,
$1,272,000, Boston losses, 109,000 Orient,
of Hartford, Conn. Assetts, $600,000
Boston losses, $170,000. The losses at Bos
ton are now being paid as fast as adjusted.
The above well known companies have
therefore fully sustained their positions in
the iront rank of first class companies.
The lessons learned by the insuring pub
lic, in the bitter experience of Chicago and
Boston, has certainly taught them to ap
preciate the value of Policies in such reli
able companies as those, which are all rep
resented at this Agency.

A SMALLER VOTE AND
GREATER MAJORITY.
The election returns begin to pre
tent a curious subject for political i
speculation. It seems likely to turn
out that Gen. Grant, notwithstanding
his overwhelming majority, really re-,
ceivcd fewer votes ill l8 r 72 than in j
1868. Tho negro vote, being now !
first fully counted iti a Presidential
olectiou, is of course excluded from
the comparison.
The population of the United
States, must have increased nearly
three millions, in the last four years;
and the ftill vote which** Presidential
election draws out should naturally
show an increase of not loss than eight
per cent over the vote of 1868. If
Gen. Grant were only relatively as
strong as in 1868, his vote then should
be eight per cent heavier. Put his
majorities are so much increased iu
the ditlcrent slates, aud he makes so
nearly a clean sweep i f the states, that
his aggregate vqto would seem sure to
be vastly greater. Yet the returns
tell a curiously different story.
In his own state of Illinois, for ex
ample, ho has actually fewer vote#
than were cast for him in 1868. Tho
official returns are not yet all in, but
those received all point in that direc
tion. In New Hampshire, he had 88
191 voter sin 18t8 : iu 1872 he had
but 37,235. In Vermont, he hail 44,-
167 in 1868; in 1842, he has about
41,475. In Connecticut, ho had 50,086
in 1868 ; in 1872 he had 50,699.
Pennsylvania affords still more sug
gestive figures. In 1860, it gave Lin
coln 268,030 votes. In 1864, it gave
him 296,391. In 1868, it gave in the
October election 331,416 for the Re
publican State ticket, and a month la
ter, 342.280 for Graut. Instead of in
creasing about 30,000, as wonld have
been uatural if the parties had remain
ed about relatively the same, the vote
of Hartranft only rose in 1872 to
353.557, while the vote for Graut ac
tually fell ofl'in November to 349,589
or barely seven thousand more thau
in 1868. And yet, with this falling
off in his vote, Grant's majority was
nevertheless swelled to over a hun
dred thousand more thau llartranft-.
In New York the returns do not
yet permit an accurate statement.
Gen. Grant's vote is probably -light
ly heavier than iu 1868, but by no
means up to the uatural increase. He
gains iu the cities, (where the Tweed
and O'Brien regime in 1868 stuffed
ballot-boxes,) aud falls off'slightly in
the rural couuties. New-Jersey alone
appears to show a gain equal to the
natural increase.
Fewer people voting for him, and
Jet a bigger majority,—that seems to
avo been the rule iu (leu. Grant's
last election. We do not believe that
the signiticant fact will be lost, either
upon the President himself, or upon
the shrewd ami able men who have
directed his canvass. —Tribune.
Valuable Meteorological Discov-
From Washington comes the intel
ligence that the researches of the sig
nal office have just been rewarded
with a beautiful and highly impor
tant meteorological discovery on the
coast of England. From time im
memorial the phenomenon of the great
November atmospheric wave has been
the speculation of scientists and sea
men, but Sir John Herschel aud oth
ers have supposed it was confined to
England and western Europe, which
it reached from the south Atlantic,
and over which it rolls in long contin
ued undulations from October until
January, constituting an important
element in the phenomenal character
(of European winters. Ou the 12lh of
November, a similar atmospheric
wave began to break over the shores
of Oregon and British Columbia, as
shown by the weather telegrams. By
the evening of the 13th, it had spread
over nearly all the Pacific states and
the territories of Utah and Nevada,
and at midnight was passing through
the passes of the Rocky mountains.
On Thursday, the 1-llh, it descended
upon Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas aud
Indian territory. On Friday morn
ing it extended, in apparently unbro
ken magnitude and magnificence, from
Oregon and Washington territory
eastward through the great trough or
depression of the Rocky mountains'
back-bone, in Idaho ami Montana,
and stretched thence to tho lower
Missouri and lower Mississippi valleys
and over the western shores of the
Mexican gulf.
This discovery will enable rnetror
ologists to anticipate by many days
the approach of winter as it advances
from the Pacific coast eastward in the
.great current of westerly winds. It
serves to clear up the old mystery of
American winter storms, showing that
they originated in the Rocky moun
tains, against whose cold and loftiest
summits in Nevada, Utah and Color
rado, and Southern Wyoming, the va
por laden air of this wave is now soon
to be forty-first parallel. As this vast
aerial wave Crossing from the warm
Pacific is probably like the English
wave cumbered in successive undula
tions for two or three months, it may
assist in explaining the comparative
high temperature and light precipita
tion in winter along Puget'e sound and
eastward.
Paris, November 14. —The affairs
ofthe French government arc again
threatening, and are likely to become
complicated by the movement contem
plated by the opposition party in the
assembly. The monarchists have be
come considerably agitated over the
annual address of Thiers, read ou tha
reassembling, yesterday. They pro
posed a combined movement ou the
part of tbo members in the assembly
opposed to the preseut policy of the
administration for the adoption of an
address to be promulgated in oposiliou
to the message of Thiers, declaring
that "France is not repuolican in the
present form of the government."

A note of the Boston fire say * :
The banks are already recovering, and

eral and speedy wheeling into fine of par

demand for undoubted grades may bo
looked for. The majority of sales made

This makes two legislatures in Alabama.
Fire Conservatives are absent, but will

were arrested yesterday, hold certificates
of election, but they hare been carried to

There is considerable excitement but no

Interesting Insurance Case.
An interesting case growing out of a fira
in Homcrville hat recently been decided
by tho Massachusetts Supreme Court A
building belonging to the Metallic Com
pression Casting Company was on fire.
The engines wore at work puling it out
having their hose stretched across the
track of the Filching Railroad Company.
A freight train came along and severed tho
hose, and the buildihg and tho contents
wero burned. The owners sued the rail
road company to recover the loss. The
principal questions involved in the case
was whether the hose was rightfully put
across the track, and whether the loss by
the fire was not so closely connected with
the negligent act of the company as to pro
cludo n recovery by the plaintiffs. The
.Supreme Ceurt decides that the negligent
act of tho company was a direct and effi
cient cause of the loss.
A LONG LIVED REPUBLIC.
On Sunday last the people of Switzer
land celebrated the five hundred and sixty
fifth anniversary of their independence, an
occasion which doubtless inspired every
Bwitzor with.lho most lively emotion* cf
patriotic prido. And there is good reason
why tho citizens of that sturdy littlo re
public—which, surrounded by somo of tbr
most powerful and despolicgovernments of
the world, has maintained its freedom for
nearly six 'centuries in defiance of aisaults
from every quarter—should cherish pride
in such nationality.

TO THE WEST AND HACK
(Concluded.)
After having a good night's sleep in a
foreign land, the Brat object my eyes be
held in the morning, was the Suspension
1 bridge, which span# the "river about two
mile* below the falls and i# a nobla and
stupendous structure. It was built by J
A. Koebling. of Trpnlon, N. J., and was
begun in #862. This bridge is of cnor-t
mous strength and forms a communication
between Cnnada nnd America, over
which the trains of the Great Western and j
the Naw York Central K. K , pass over
> without causing the slightest vibration
The cost of iu construction wai $600,<100: I
tho first Engine crossed it on the Bth of j
March, IW#>. Tho road for carriages is
suspended 28 feet bolow tho railway line
The hightof the towers on the American
side is 88 feet, those on the Canada is 78!
feet high ; this bridge is 800 feet long, 24
feet wide, and 260 feet above the river, and;
suspended on four mighty cabels 101 iach
es in diameter. From this bridge our ere*!
first beheld the falls of Niagara. After)
1 crossing over on the roadway we retraced
our steps on top ef the bridge to the Cana
da side and strolled down the banks of the
river to the Whirlpool, about three mile*
below the falla, whore tho river Ukos an;
abrupt turn and shoots with great violence
against the cliff on the Canada side form-;
ing tho mighty whirlpool. The scenery!
around this oaldron is exceedingly milo
nnd picturesque, W c tupn return to th
bridge and up along the banks of Ibis
rushing, foaming, looking stream, till we
reach the falls, where wo #Und in amaxe
mcnt and are swallowed up in our own in
significance when beholding there the
mighty worka of Nature. Tho falls of
Niagara may Justly bo c assed among the
wonders of tho world. Tbsy are trully the
prido of America, and their grandeur, mag
nitude and magnificence, are well known
to all tho civilised world-
If the reader will bear with me a little,
I will hero give you a short description of
Niagara Fall*, Saiporfoct though it may
be :The great lakes of North AmericaSupe
rior—M ichigan—Huron and Erie,pour the
flood of their nccummulatcd waters into
lake Ontario, through a channel of about
36 miles in length called the Michigan riv
ar. Twenty two miles below its commence
ment at lake Erie, occur the famous falls
of Niagara. The ;American falls are 000
feet wide by 164 feel high. Tho Horse
shoe or Canadian fall la 2000 feet wide and
169 feet high. Over thismagnificont preci
pice the Irresistible tide rushes at the rate
of 100 millions tons of water every hour
as computed by scientific men. The tola
descent from lake Erie to Ontario is 334
feet The falls of X iagre were first seen i
by a white man nearly two hundred years i
ago , father Hennepin, a French Jesuit i
missionary, first saw them when on nucx- <
{.edition <>Y discovery in the year 1678. It I
was not till lcamain tabic rock i
on the face of the bright green watar, that i
it cam* upon me in its full might and maj- (
city. The Niagara is forever stamped i
upon my heart an image of beauty to re- |
main there changeless and indeliihle un- t
til all trouble oftdaily life .receded from i
my view and lessened in the distance dur- t
ing the dav I passed on that enchanted 1
ground. What voices spoke from out the
thundering water, what face# faded from i
tho earth, looked out upon mo from lla \
gleaming depths. What heavenly prom- i
ise glistened in those angels' fears the t
drops of many hues that showered onus I
there. To wander to and fro all day and i
see the cataract from all point* of view, t
Wo first proceed to Horse-Shoe fall. The 1
view here is awfully grand. Repairing to c
tho museum, vro are clothed In a water t
proof suit, leaving nothing visable but our *
phiz ; we then follow opr guide down tha
long flights of stone steps, down, down, et s
we gaxo upwards at the frowning cliff that
leems tottering to its face, and pas# under y
;he thick curtiu of wafer to near that it u
leems as if we could touch it. and hear the C
Hissing (pray and are stunned by the deaf- h
tiling roar that issues from the misty ver- o
ex at our feet, an indiscribable feeling of h
iwe steals over us Slid W9 Ofl mof tn* a
ever impressed with the tremendous mug ]
jniflcenre of Niagara.
Behind our narrow footpath. Ill* proei-j
.i'icotftho Horsetlioe fall ii parpen
ilictilarly to a hlght of'.si fctt, at mir feet
i the ollirdosernai about 70 feet into a tur- -
moll of bustling foam ; in front la the 11--
quid curtain everi passing on
ward never unveil* tbi# wildest of nature's;
caverns. The volume of water tbat'gu#bc>
; over the Horseshoe fall is enormous It Is
oatlmatcd that the sheet is fully'JU feet
[thick in the centre, It is of a deep green '
ootor. We then ascend the locg stairway f
to tho museum where we arc Jivoetod of
thai magnificent robe which changed our
! appearance from that of demons to human
beings This museum which stand# at the
1 top of tho bank near table Wilt, is well '
1 worth visiting ; it contains a fine collection
lof birds, beasts and fishes, besides a cam- !
era obscura. We then proceeded to and
crossed the new Huspeiuiun bridge which
, take# rank with any similar structure In
the world. It is designed more especially
fer foot passengers and carriages. This
- bridge Is 1240 feet in length, and 10 fe. t in
width ; the elevation oftliis bridge above
the water is I'JO feet ; depth of the river
under the bridge 260 feet. A fine view ofi
the fall* and surroundings Is had from this I
bridge while passing over. Being now on !
the American side, we pas# thro igh the
i grove and cross the iron bridge over the
. rappids. Here the noble River I* seen hur
ry ing on toward* its final leap, and as we
stand upon the bridge looking down upon
the gushing flood of water that seems as if
it would iween away our frail standing
' place and hurl us over the dread precipice
whose rounded edge is but a tew yards
further down. This is a fine point from
which to observe the rappids above the
fall*. The fall* of the river from the head
1 of the rappids, a mile above the falls, to
the edge of the precipice is 60 feet, and I
theinadn*## of the water* hurling and)
foaming in billews and breaker* down the {
1 ascent, a# if fretting with impatience, is a!
fine contrast to the uniform, magnificent j
sweep with which at length they rush into
the thundering flood below. Reaching
(ioat island ; a narrow bridge connects
this island we have a fine view of the rap*
pid and the American falls, affording an
opportunity of approaching the very verge
or the precipice where you con k*>k down
into the seething caldron below. Tho cen
tral fall over which we pas* in our return
to Goat ia!and,although a mere ribbon of
j white water when seen from a short d is
jtance in contrast with the great falls, is by
no mean* unworthy of notice. It is lot)
| feel wide and is a very graceful sheet.
| Proceeding along the banks shirt dis
>. laucc, we are pointed out the spot where;
the celebrated Sam I'atcb made nis fauiou)(
1 leaps, jumping over the falls 97 feet into i
the river. A fittle further on vie come to
the cave of the winds, it is situated at the
toot of the rocks between Goal island and
: Lui d island, and is considered by soinc as
' one of the finest and uiost woudeiful sights
r on the American tide. Can't describe the
leave from the fact wc were too much ex-[
I'hausted to descend, and passed on until
' we reached the extremity of the Lland ;
we crossed the bridge to Tereapin Tower ;
this lower occupies a singular and awful
- position. A few scattered ma#a* of rock
lie on the very brink of the great fall seam
>]ae if unable to maintain their position
■ against the tremendous rush of water. I
rpon these rock* the town is built. Wei
f plunged into the narrow dour and up the I
k long winding stair* till we reached the
I sutnuiil where we obtained tha moet mag-'
- nificentvlaw that can be conceived; the,
t.rappids above rolling tumultously to- -
ward you ; the green water of the mighty!
falls at your feet; below you the hissing
■ caldron of spray, and the river with its 1
( Uep bank# beyond, in fact the wholei
t range of the fall# themselves and the world i
■] of raging water* around them, are scan i
I from this commanding point of view.
- While standing on the top of this town, re
- fleeting on the wonlerous works of Nature 1
■you realise a feeliug of the deepest solem- j
nity stealing over you, when you are coin
• polled to adore tho power and majesty of
- Un-Almigfity ruler of the Universe.
We assm descend the crooke d stair j
case and Tand in the bridge where 1 clam-'
) bored over stony railing of the bridge on
> to a large ruck which Irenes on tbebrink of
J the precipice and look one long, lost look,
> down 160 feet into tbe fearful chasm be
i lew. Passing on along tho edge of the
rappids wo come to thu Island cal'cdglhe
} Three sisters. Here between the shore and j
9 Moss island is a small but beautiful fall
named Hermit's Cascade, where tbe un-'
. fortunate Abbot was wont to repair daily <
r to enjoy a shower bath of natures own
-constructing. These islands, hithort* in
i accessible, are now connected by substan
tial fool bridge* from which tbe grandest
views of the rappids are to be obtained.
Tbe it land* above the rappids are numcr
- ou*. the river being studded with them 1
j from lake Erie, all tbe way down to the
i: falls, lirand island is the 4argv#L being
• 12 miles long and 7 mile* broad ; it divide*
- the stream into two branches. Navy is-j
- land is just belew it. Here tho French
, built their ships of war in 1769. This is
land was tha resort of the rebel leaders in
> 1837. It has an area of 314 acres
, Our space and lime forbid# ftirther no-!
lice of these islands which are exquisiliy
beautiful. Some are large and others are
- smell. Some He in quiet water clearlv rc
• fleeted in the surrounding mirrer. While
others stand in the mi<lt of the raging
; current looking black in the while turmoil
s of surrounding foam and seeming as if
i tbey would fain check the angry waters in
[ their headlong rush towards the falls.
- There is a far-nation about this mighty
i cataract which seems to chain us to the'
•pot, and when we seek to leave, it draws
us irresistably back again. Even in our
• j frail attempt to dascriba, however inade- >
• qualcly the task may be accomplished, we 1
are loth to lay down the pen and tear our
i selves away from that wonderftil sceno.
The Almighty has invested Niagara
with a power which frail man that 1 am, 1
cannot resist, and those who gaxe upon it
for the fitst time have a new>ra opened up
in their existence. New thoughts andim-;
pressions have been stamped indellibly]
on my heart which will haunt me in after
! yean, and linger on my memory till lime
■ shall be swallowed up in cfernitv.
Hail, tovcrign of the world of floods,
, Whose majesty ar.d might first daxxle*.
Then enraptures, then oerawc* the aching 1
sight.
The pemp of kings and emperor# in every
clime and rone ■
Grows disu beneath the splendor of thy;
glorious watery throne-
No fleets can stop thy progrev# t no armies
bid the slay ; |
Untoward, onward, thy march still holds!
its way.
The using mists that veil thee, her- j
aids go before; i
And the music that proclaim* thee,
; Is the thundering calract's roar.
Loath as we were to leave those beauti j
full scenes, e were compelled by hunger
j and fatigue to retrace our steps, passing {
j round the head of Goat island ami across!
j the iron bridge to the village ol the fall*,,
'stopping at the Spencer house, opposite
i the depot, feeling very much exhausted. ]
but well paid for our time in visiting this
the greatest curiosity of the world. Only I
after lea and a rest in the parlor did 1 real
ire that 1 was again in America. With
[the idea that I was an American citixen
free born and half white, and this being
! the dav appointed (to confirm the election,
(of D. Tv Grant, as the monarch of these
United States, for the next four years, 1
walked out to get the news of the election,
my attention being attracted to a crowd on i
the street, I repaired to the spot to oscer- ,
tain the cause of so many recr. being con
gregated together where I learned that a
certain free Ames lean of African decent,
had refused to vote for U. S. Grant, w here
upon the very loyal mob had pounced up
on him ending in a genera! fisticuff. not 1
wishing to shed any nlood in behalf of •
Uljttes I returned to tho hotel and retir
ed. Wednesday Nov. 6th, took the train
at 71 a. m , running along the river to
Buffalo, where wo change car*, look the
j Erie K. K., passing through the State of ,
Now Y'ork, which scenu well adapted to ,
stock raising judging from the number of (
ox teams seen from thol ear window# ; the
long train'with its living freight thun- j
dcnngon around steep hills and mountains,
through deep cuU and over deep ravines
until tho conductor call* out "Klmira,
nuMCiigers for Waverly change car*."
Not having any desire to go to Waverly
but wishing to take the North Central
road to Mr illiamsport, we concluded to
take the fl p. m . train on that road, had
a (troll through the city ol Klmira which
ha* a population of 16,0ui*, being tho coun
tv seat |of Chemung poupty, situated on
the Chetnung river. The pity U hand
lomely laid out and contain* beside# the
county bit ihlings, a female college, six
banks, a large number of warehouse*, and
AW general business firms, and ii the cen
tre of an aclise trade. Took the train at
61 p. m., arriving at Williamsport at 11 p.
m., a city of 10080 inhabitant*, and one of
the lnrgoul lumber manufacturing cities in
the >State. Leaving Williamsnort at 7i a|
in., we arrive at Lock Haven just in time
to raisa the connection with tho Bald Kag
le Valley train. Stopped with iny
good old friend* Ben and Sue, where wo
spent the time very pleasantly till 8 p. m.,
when we again took the train, stopping
nineteen times before reaching Bellefonte.
After giving up all hope of ever getting
back to tbeland qf the living and resign
ing ourelvo to our fate they reversed the
train, and we came (lying up to Bellefonte
hindformost where wo gladl v left tho dirty
old ears after having traveled over three
thousand miles. On looking around to be
sure we were in Bellefonte, we met a host
of friends who seemed te bo eurprised to
see us back none the worse of the trip.
Feeling as though we could walk 40 miles
yet heforo supper ye shouldered our traps
and.slarled for Jerries . not long there till
George that very obliging liveryman,
hitched up his match nags and drove us
ever that famed Nittany mountain to our
borao inj the village .of Centre liall, we
