JOIIN SHANNON. fbivwrr, DR. JOSEPH ADAMS. Jit PORTA XT TO VOTERS. The next election in Pennsylvania tvill he held on Tuesday, the 4th of No vember. Voters must be assessed two months preceding the election, that is, on or be fore Thnrsday. September 4th. Voters must have paid a state or county tax one month preceding the election, that is. on or before SaUmlay. October 4th. Members Democratic state, county, and city committees should ace to it that every voter of car party has complied with the law. Failure to pay tax in season deprives the voter of the privilege of suffrage. An elector can swear in his vote, though he bo not assessed, bnt the neglect may cause him much trouble. Goto Bellefonte on Tuesday night, 14, and hear good speeches from Jenks and Wallace Let there be a fall turn out. Vote for Daniel O. Barr for Btatc treasurer, and you voto against letting the Oameron-Quav ring handle the pub lic funds. According to all signs, things look healthy for Fiwing in Ohio- Thurman feels confident that the state is safe, and in a letter to a personal friend in Wash ington, says there is not the slightest doubt in his mind but what General Fwing will be elected Governor of Ohio by a handsome majority and that the Legislature will be Democratic on joint ballot. lie says his confidence is not based upon casual obeervation, but a precise knowlege of the work being done and the sentiments expressed in localities which were for a time justly regarded as doubtful to the Democra cy* The two democratic papers at Lewis town, the 7Yu{ Democrat and the Sentinel have been united and now appear as one the Dc •: -roT aral Sr I, nnder the management of 11. J. Fosnot and 11. J. Walters. We think there is an advant age in this to the democracy of little Mifflin, which were hardly strong enongh to keep up two organs. May prosperity attend the new manage ment. Let democrats not forget that the elec tion on 4 November is important. A state treasurer has all the funds of the commonwealth in his hands, and dis* honest treasurers have in times past fleeced the state and speculated with the public funds. D. 0. Barr is the democratic nominee for state treasurer. He is thoroughly versed in financial matters, and bears and unsnllied reputation ; he is not the choice of a ring like his opponent, Mr. Butler, who, if elected, would only be the tool of Cameron and Quay, the par ties to whom he owes his nomination. The people want a change. Barr is honest and can be relied upon. Let democrats bear in mind the importance of the election, and see that a full vote is polled for Barr. The Nebraska republicans go in for Grant and a third term. Thsy evident ly put little faith in Grant's words that he don't want a third term. They know he don't stick to his word exactly. A big wooden pumpkin has been drawing premiums at some of the New England fairs. If this fraud had been played in the south, the entire radical . press would give it as a reason why Barr should not be elected state treasu rer of Penn'a. Mr. Evarts a few nights ago said to a friend that he had nothing to say in ref erence New York politics. He does not after all, seem to boom for Cornell, and that is the position of scores of other leading republicans. Mrs. Eprague, on the other hand, would be pleased to see Cornell elected as. that would be a feather in Conk s cap. There was quite a peppery affair in the fail of Bath, N. Y., a few days ago. A prisoner in the county jail threw cay enne pepper into the eyes of the turn key and opened the door, when he and three others escaped. One was captur ed by a servant girl on the premises, and Sheriff Sherwood's wife seised an other, Jim O'Laughlin, a powerful and notorious desperado, but was choked off. He was chased through the river and shot through the leg on the opposite bank, when he surrendered. A third was captured by a sixteen year old boy, who threatened his man with a revol ver. The fourth, Willis Nichols, is still at large. Wendell Bhilipe goes for the republi can party sharp hickory gad, and talks right out what he thinks of the con cern. As Mr. Philips has no lovejfor the democrats but always was one of the worst radicals, the opinion of his own party should have some weight. He Bays: "One other provocation the South has to remain 'solid' iB the presence in the political field of the republican party, with its memories and record. If the Republican party were really inspired by the purpoee it pretends to have namely, to protect tne negro, whom it freed—its existence would still be a suc cess and a blessing, since with auhoDest and earnest North behind it, that party would always be able to protect every American citizen wherever the flag floats. Bnt it has no such purpose. It used 'the bloody shirt* only as a step to office, and once there laughs at it. During the last six years it has never lifted a linger to ' protect the negro or execute the laws. No matter whether the Democrats tan " prove Mr. Hayes a fraud or not, the ne gro knows him only as a fraud. Let me I not be thought'personal. There is noth- ] ing special in Mr. Hayes's case. I name i him only as a fair representative and 1 sample of all the Republican leaders. In f this State, Gen. Butler represents wo- < man's rights, the greenbacks, and the ' negro. No matter what particular issue he may emphasize to-day, bo cannot t hide his national position, which is at < the head of these three movements. It 1 is this position that makes men hate and * love him by millions. What we have v always lacked is an honest Governor to c execute the law, as all our Governors t, haye been Republican, temperance hyp- <• ocrites. I have faith to believe that Gen. c Butler will execute what laws we have, a The worst enexay, the most to be dread- ' ed always, is your foe disguised as your p friend. Arnold could do Washington u ten times the harm Andre could. To- w day our greatest danger is the Republi- g can partj', wolves in sheep's clothing— b hypocrites, stealing the livery of Sum- p tier ami Wade, to serve Shy lock ami Lamar. I liail their coming defeat. look ing forward to it a* the dawn of what old Sam Adams would have called 'a j glorious day."' Barr is the honest man's candidate for state treasurer. Garlield has quit speaking for Foster in Ohio—on account of ill health, it is said, and all his appointments have been cancelled. But the real cause seeina to he that Sherman is planing to have himself elected to the -crate in case the legislature is republican, (sir- Add has been looking for the same thing, and since Sherman is trying to shove him aside, he will have no more to do with the campaign. Garfield does not believe in doing the hard work, and then hating Sherman carry off the big pritee—and he is about right. But, the democrats intend to carry the Ohio legislature and re-elect Seuator Thurmnn. Well now, the republicans of the south have taken the fever to be "solid too and thus control the next national con vention. How will this suit the north ern radicals wko haTe been so put out about the south being so solid for the democrats. They will now have to drop the one "solid" and pay a little atten tion to the "solids"on their own side in the south. The New York Times, republican, has already commenced to growl about this. It says . "One of the objections to the Democratic party is that it is ruled by the South. It might plead in extenuaa j tion that the South supplies the votes it requires. The Southern Republicans who contemplate the subjection of the Republican party have not this excuse to offer. Enable to supply the votes, they nevertheless assert a right to rule. We take the liberty of informing them that their pretensior.Wtre inadmissible. Where the votes are the power will be; and the power that sustains the party will shape its policy. The fact does not imply forget fulness of tho interests of the party at the South or of the just claims of those who are there identified with its history and work. Northern Republicans are not indifferent obser vers of the course of events in the South ern States, or lukew arm iu their disposi tion to provide remedies for evils that are remediable and to bring into exer cise the auxiliary agencies which F'ed eral authority directs. If their purposes are to be of any avail, the success of the party must not be endangered by the assertion of claims that cannot be re cognized or by the parade of influences that would bring it into contempt." The weekly returns of the collector of customs at the port of New York show that during the four weeks from iron day, September 1, to Saturday, Septem ber 27, the imports of gold and silver at that port exceeded the exports by ? 25,- 560,056. Adding this to the excess of such imports into the country during the months of July and August we ob tain an excess of imports amounting to the sum of $32,567,287. The Pennsylvania railroad company contemplate the erection of a monster hotel at the eastern terminus of the ele vated road which it is constructing in Philadelphia. This is to occupy the plot of gronnd on the west side of Broad street, from Market to Filbert streets. It will front on Ilroad street. It is to be connected with the company's depot by light bridges thrown across Fifteenth street. Everything about the hotel is to be first class, and of course it will capture a large proportion of the travelers, being so convenient to trains. It is probable the Keystone hotel com pany will lease and run this house. We can speak favorably of the adver tising agency of 11. P. Ilubbard, of New Haven, Conn. In onr transactions with that agency up to this time we have found them reliable. Fraud still remains stamped upon the brow of Hayes.* Justice Miller, one of the B,—S to 7—now openly says that Til den had a majority in Louisiana, [and Wendel Philips in his recent letter also pronounces Hayes a fraud. And none of this is democratic testimony. Thus does the fraud cry refuse to die out. The knavish compilation of revenue statistics prepared by the treasury de partment to show that nearly all the taxes are paid by one section of the country has been extensively circulated by the republican congressional commit tee. This campaign document has furn ished the material for numerous stal wart editorials. In regard to its ab surd statements the Chicago Times says: Duties to the amount of $99,172,168, or more than 72 per cent, of the total, were collected in the state of New York. Are we to conclude that the people of New York contribute more than 72 per cent, of the revenue derived from this source? Most certainly not. The money was col lected in that state, nearly all of it in the city of New York, but it was finally paid by the consumers of imported goods in nearly every state in the Union. It would be as fair for the democrats to compare particular democratic states with particular republi can states, as it is for the re publicans to compare all the democratic states with all the republican states. Comparing particular states, it will he fonnd that duties to the amount of $2,- 023,642 were collected in the democratic state of Maryland, while duties to the amount of only $8 were collected in the republican state oflowa. It will be found also, that internal revenue to the amount of $7,640,805 was collected in the Demo cratic state of Kentucky, while internal revenue to the amount of only $176,935 wes collected in the republican state of Kansas.. These comparisons are as dis paraging to the two republican states named, as the general comparison is to all the democratic states. The truth is that these comparisons possess no political significance to spesk of. The internal revenue collections in Illinois amounted to $11*.497,944, or about three and a half millions more than the collections in any other state. Is there any connection between this fact and the fact that Illinois gave a re publican majority at the last congres sional election? It may be understood to signify that a good deal of whiskv is distilled in Illinois, but it certainly does not signify that the people of Illinois drink more whisky than the people of any other state, and if it did it would not follow that they were on that ac count entitled to more political consid eration and power than the people of any other state. More than half of the internal revenue is collected in the four states of Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and New York, but it doesn't follow that the people of thope states should dictate the policy. Ten millions more than one half of all the collections of duties and internal revenue are made in the two states of New York and Illinois, but it does not follow that the people of these two states should govern the country. : The statement of receipts by states is in teresting, as showing that over H.'i per cent, of the dutiable imports are landed in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl vania and California, and that our [ whisky and tobacco are mostly produc ed in Illinois, Ohio, New York, Ken tucky and Virginia, but it is about as destitute as possible of political signifi cance. A table Bhowing where the taxed articles aro consumed, and, of course, where the yrero paid, if It were possible to prepare one, would be rather more to the purpose; but even that would not go to show that one party was good and another bad. Parties are toi be judged bv what they Lave done and j propose to do, and not by tbe propor- {ion in which the str.;r thrv dotnitu' tontribute lo tin support of tho natioi.il | • coverument. ' t • ~ ' Among the novelt r at our (. i > 1 week, that attracted much attention. j were the fire escapes and ingsnic lire ( truck invented by J. 41. Kurt -,of Milton. ( The lire escapes are on the plan of a la 1- ■ der, which can be readily moved from one section of windows to another, on any building to which the escapes are attached, and to these j*r-in* In am story can resort to make their escape ' from a burning building, The nee 1 ' of an invention of this kind has long ( been felt, and many precious lives have been lost in burning buildings from ' which retrcatjwas was cut oil by the stairways, and jumping from ->rd, 4th and Nth story windows meant mangled bodies and death, where a flre-eoat like this one, could have been readily < shifted from window to w.udow, by means of a simple arrangement, uud the threatened inmates saved b :u a horri ble- death. The tire truck is a highly iugenious piece of mechanism, which we can uot undertake to describe here, and L intended for large tow ns and cities, and to bo moved by horsepower to burning buildings. When closed ami not in um'i the truck would not take in more space than a two-horse wag<>n >et it tso com j structed that it can be rapidly made to stretch itself to the top of the highest buildings throwing to the windows lad ders and platforms by which persons j can escape. It can be raised and ed with persons on the ladders, and b carry hose to the tops of houses along . with firemen. Tho aeronaut Wise is missiug. He: went heavenward iu a balloon from St.! Louis on Sunday 2> ult,, with a com panion, Geo. Burr, and after several days nothing bad been heard of them, the supposition being that both met the fate of Donaldson, and were killed. Some think the air-ship drifted into the pines of Michigan and that the aeronaut will yet be heard from. The a-cent from St. Louis was made in the interest of science. This was something like the 4 ">th as cension of Prof. Wise. The writer of this was a witness of several of the pro fessor's ascensions when be was a young man 40 years ago, and when ballooning was yet a novelty aud l'rof. Wise the only one who then navigated the air in a balloon intlated by gas. We also wit nessed the descent of M'Clellan, about the above period, iu Wise's balloon, starting from Gettysburg, and landing suddenly near York. When Wise wit ready to ascend at Gettysburg. M'Clellan offered him J">o for his chances. Wise to cool him off.accepted, let Mac in the ' ship, aud gave him a little rope, but Mac non-daunted demanded to lu.ve the rope cut, and it was cut. and away he ' went, with such hurried directions as ■ Wise could give him in a moment. : Nearing York lie failed to manage hi ' ship for a successful landing and he was 1 unloaded rather unceremoniously on terra firm a. Prof. Wise lias been tho most success . fu! aeronaut living, but never engage ! in it for dare-devil-feats, nnd we should feel sorry to learn that las recent St. „ Ixmis trip was a fatal or unfortunate ope for him. Under the new law fur fire escapes : in this state, the following item from i New York will be of interest: i Joseph Willy, who lost his wife and , child some time since by a fire at their home, sued the landlord of the property ' forffldDOO damages for neglecting to pro ' vide fire escapes. The court awarded . Willy 11,571. The case was appealed. . and to-day the court of appeals affirmed the judgement o: the lower court." According to an act passed in IVnnsyl • vania, every three or more story build ■ ing that is occupied must be provided i with a fire escape. Peru threatens to rival the oil regions of our own state. A recent dispatch ' from Titusville says that F. Prentice, a f well-known Pennsylvania oil operator, • has purchased the controlling interest in I 4,000,000 acres ofland in Peru, on the 1 Atlantic coast. The dispatch says : '■ Mr. Prentice, the Pennsylvania oil op • erator, was informed of the prospects of the Mancora estate. In lv>7 he paid Peru a visit. A well was put down near Zorrito9. At the depth of 14t> feet a vol canic formation was reached by the drill and oil was found. The well pumped sixty barrels a day. A second well was put down. Oil was reached at a depth of 220 feet. The yield rapidly declined from twelve barrels to seven barrels a Jay. Mr. Prentice was satisfied that the region would prove productive, but lie held his own counsel. In 1576 he suc ceeded in securing control of the entire estate for the purpose of producing oil. In that year the second well mentioned above was drilled to the depth of nearly 500 feet. Tho tools struck a vein of oil* bearing sandstone and immediately sank 10 feet. This was the first finding ofthe sandstone. The strike was followed by a column of oil that filled the six-inch rasing and was thrown seventy feet in the air. In attempting to control the great flow by inserting tubing in the well the inexperienced employes let the tubing drop to the bottom. The side caved in soon afterward and stopped the flow. Tho well is still plugged. Mr.> Prentice says its capacity will be 1,000; bawels a day. Another well of his near the above has been in use for throe years. It has never yet been torpedoed; nor reeupped. It yields GOO barrels a day. Mr. Prentice's experiments Lave proved that the deeper the wells are, sunk the larger the yield is. At 600 feet he declares that a well in his Peruvian regions will pump 5,000 barrels a day.: Back in tbe mountains some of his men j have struck a vein of petroleum by merely digging a pit 2S feet deep. Sevsj eral of these pits have been dug. Oil' accumulates in them in paying quanti ties. Mr. Prentice has a refinery at /or ritos. Its capacity is 2(H) barrels. This he is now enlarging. There were ship-, ped from the Pennsylvania oil regions in 1870 1,085,015 gallons of oil to Peru, Chili, and Ecuador. Australia, China! and Japan also received their millions, of gallons from the same source. Peru; 1 is much nearer these countries than the United btates. Mr. Prentice says that the region ho is developing will more j than supply these markets.

The charges preferred against Eemble and hi* 1 lobby forced the Republican House to take the matter up. A committee wa, -a ed, and after a searching investigation, rep rted ! • the 11 use evidence warranting the expulsion ol four mcmbtrs, and among the number the tame Petroff who was ex pelled by the Democratic illouio of IhTC i tor bribery. The evidenco against the members implicated was of the m posi ! live character, and comidered by fair minded men conclusive of their guilt. But the lobby was 100 powerful with the Ue l tblican lIoue, and it refused to expel the corrupt member*. They hold seats in tho 11.-nee of Representatives to-day as lawmakers f r the I : est pe of sylvania! And it is a fact of great impor tance. in view of the coming election for State Treasurer, that Mr. Butler of Ches ter county, tho Republican candidate for that office, as a member of the House, vot ed againit the expulsion of the members convicted of bribery, including Petroff,! who had been expelled from the Houe in. PC*, and was therefore an old offender, doserving no consideration of mercy. This illustrates the Republican method of dealing with the criminals who seek to re-establish at llarriiburg, the rule of cor ruption and bribery that prevailed about lh" Legislature prior to the adoption of the; new Constitution. The reason of this con sideration shown the lobbv is obvious. Its : directors are members of the Republican party. They controlled its action. We "ay nothing at this time about the. criminal proceedings pending in the I)au. phin county criminal court against Kens- 1 blea'il other Republican politicians for bribery and perjury, for it would be im j reper to discuss them in advance "f judi cial action. The trials, however, have 1 ecu put off until after tho election. *1 >ro important than aaything stateL ab its as to the deposition of the Demo cratic party to enforce and oi the Republi-j can party to nullify the anti-corruption J safeguards of the nt w constitution, was 1 the action of the .Stats Convention* of the 1 two partis* in July la-i.
