NOTICE TO DELINQUENT SUB- SCRIBER. nere are still a number of subscribers upon our list who have not paid us any thing since 1871. We have notified them, time and again, that if they did not pay up we would be compelled to add fifty per cent. to their accounts, according to our terms, and compel payment. We have now concluded that we will allow no sub. scriber to the JOURNAL to get indebted to us for subscription for a longer period than four years. And all indebted to us, fur this period of time, who do not settle with us before the first day of January next, will find their accounts, with the usual percentage added, in the hands of Messrs. Lovell & Musser for collection. There is BO use fooling with this matter any longer. Newspapers cannot be run upon the wind and we are determined that each shall bear his share of the burden.— Pay up and save costs I We have trusted you long enough, and still there is no dis position to come to time. If you pay a big price it is not our fault. We expect eventually to ask every subscriber to pay within the year. l et . Well, yes, we could, also, have commenced our notice of the editor of the Radical differently. We might have said : The bird of the genus . Butes, (buzzard), that presides over it, &c., and not haye violated the Latin in the least, and every body would have exclaimed "How appro priate I" but we preferred a pun to ap propriateness. mg., A paragraph in the JOURNAL, of a week or two ago, in reply to a small par agraph in the Somerset Herald, of the week previous, has drawn out our friend Scull to the extent of half a column. We are, however, not surprised at this. Som erset, at this season of the year, has al ways been a very windy place, and our friend is especially "full of it." The mere apparition of an old woman would be the signal for a perfect gust, and, then, this is all it amounts to. Wind and—nothing morel We have no quarrel with the editor of the Herald; and as fur Colonel Youtzy, we believe him to be a pretty gallant fellow, and having received a ma jority of all the votes east we vote hie habeas corpus in. So mote it be. ter The Pittsburgh Gazette of a late date furnishes editorially this political on cut: "There is a strong movement at the East, and it is largely shared in and sym- pathized with here, to bring oat Hon. Jolla Scott, at present United States Sen atoa, as a candidate for Governor of this Commonwealth. Senator Seott has made fur himself an enviable record in the Uni ted States Senate, and has shown hinisr2lf, in his home-life, a high•toued, honorable gentleman. There will, no doubt, be a struggle fur the nomination, and there are few persons who could more strongly con test for that nomination than Senator Scott. Bnt from what we know of him we are prepared to state that he will not descend to the position of a manipulator in politics for any office yhatever. If he is nominated for Governor it will be be cause his friends, desiring a person of his qualities is that position, put forth an ef fort in his behalf. This should be borne in mind." We fully agree with that journal in its high appreciation of Senator Scott, and feel assured that he would make a most capable and excellent chief magistrate, of s,hom the people of the State might well be proud.—Somerset Herald. OBITUARY. John Meredith Read died in Philadel phia,on Sunday, at his residence on Wal nut street, from an attack of cholera morbus, aged seventy-eight years. His grandfather, George Read, of Delaware, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. His father, John Read, esq., was a Philadelphia lawyer, well es teemed, who married a daughter of Samuel Meredith, a family eqaally distinguished in Pennsylvania annals. John Meredith Read, was the eldest son, born in Philadel phia, July 21, 1707. Ile was educated at the Univhrsity of Pennsylvania, and in 1818, admitted to the bar. In 1823 Mr. Read was elected to the Heruse of Repre sentatives, and re elected in 1824. De clining further service in the legislature he was appointed City Solicitor. He was appointed by Presideut Van Buren to the office of U. S. District Attorney for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, and re signed the position in 1841. At this time Mr. Read had acquired a confirmed position as a lawyer of ability and was nominated by President Polk as a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. His confirmation by the Senate being in doubt in consequence of his unpopular opinions on the slavery question, the nom ulatiou was withdrawn. In 1846 he was appointed Attorney-General of Pennsyl vania, holding the position six months. For twelve years after his resignation of the attorney-generalship, tr. Read being under a cloud as to his politiCal aspirations devoted himself assiduously to his profes sion. In 1858 he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and in 1872 by the expiration of the term of Judge Thompson, became Chief Justice for the remaining year of his own term.— Judge Read was an active student and a voluminous writer on topics connected with his profession. His opinions on the bench were marked by careful research.— His reputation was un'ulemished. His temperament, however, was of that impul sive kind which fitted him rather for the bar than the bench. Of his last hours, a cotemporary says, the record is a simple one. "For years his personal physique indicated even to the most casual observer that be might at any momeut give way, and it was a surprise to every one that he should have4ited so long. Shrivelled, lit erally, to skin and,bou i and tottering in step, he stAl kept faithfully to his duties, and never lost his faculties as a learned judgc."—Patriot, 4th inst.

Dec. 5, 1874. EDIT , JR UNLICENSED DEALERS. The souls of. the liquor dealers of this city are being agitated just now by the action of the Excise Commissioners, who are hunting down those who sell the ardent without proper license. The Liquor Dealers' Protective Union resisted the law ; but in the test case the court went against them, and wide-spread consternation ensued, as well it might, as not one in five of the thousands of saloons in the city ever took out a license. The decision of the court makes every one of them liable to heavy penalties, and the police are determined to bring them to the score, no matter at what cost: They hope to be able to close about a thousand of them by this means. EXTRAVAGSNCE IN DRESS has always been charged_ to the feminine ac count ; but this N: inter, it strikes me, the sterner sex may fairly take their share of con demnation. One rich young man recently pur chased two seal-skin coats, costing severally $5OO and $9OO, and two Ulster coats, the belt buckles wrought in massive gold and equally massive silver. What do you think of that? One man paying $2,000 for overcoats with thousands about him wanting bread ? True it is that every rich young man in New York does not buy such extravagant articles ; but the mania for rich clothing, extravagantly rich clothing, has taken possession of young New York. To pay $l5O for an overcoat is nothing rare, and a suit, from bat to boots, including overcoat, that does not go a long way into $3OO is not much of a suit. Add to this the diamond stndds, the ring, the watch, and the other adsrnments, and Charles Augustus manages to carry about him the best end of $2OOO, which has to be renewed very fre quently. Rut, nevertheless, they have cut down the $650 salaries of the poor teachers seven per cent., and arc standing out against the 'longshoremen, who want enough wages to keep soul and body together. Speaking of the 'LONGSHOREMEN, their strike is general, and embraces the many thousands of men who find their daily bread in loading and unloading ships. It would seem the heighth of folly or any set of laborers to strike at the beginning of a long winter, but the 'longshoremen have, from the nature of their employment, fair prospects of success. Any man can roll a barrel, but ev ery man cannot put a package properly in the hold of a vessel, or take it out without damage. It is a trade. And when a vessel arrives, the demand for the services of the 'longshoremen is immediate and pressing. The raw man cannot take his place. There are 9,000 of these men. They have made the demand for forty cents an hour for day work, and sixty cents for night work, and they are well organized to hold out. The steamship companies are trying to get other men, but the trouble is the skill. Novices make bad work of it. The are still holding out and are organizing co operative shops, that enough employment may be had to keep the strike from being a failure. Other occupations are banding tegether, in most cases, however, to prevent threaten reduction in wages. There will be inevitably a great deal of TROUBLE AND BUFFERING in the city this winter. Lab(); is very scarce now, and as the cold weather puts its veto on the little building that is going on, more men will be thrown out of employment, and the trouble will increase. The city is a cruel place for a man out of work ; rent, food, fuel, everything costs so much that when the daily labor that supplies it stops, starvation or the accepting of charity is only a few weeks ahead. It costs a laborer all he can earn to day to live to-day—he cannot provide for the morrow when work stops. !leaven help the poor this season ! One of the great troubles in the small towns and cities of the country Is to get properly trained and educated servants. This want can now he supplied at a trifling cost. A number of charitable ladies who have time and money more than they know what to do with, and some little heart, established, a year or so ago, a training school, to fit girls for service, on Tenth street. They take raw girls and teach them to cook, wash, iron, sew, to wait at a table, and to do everything that comes under the general head of housework. The work of preparation is done in no slovenly way. Twice a week a French cook goes into the kitchen with all the girls, and delivers to them a lecture on the preparation of such dishes as he selects, illustrating by actually doing the work before them, and making them do it. They run a laundry, a restaurant, and a dressmaking establishment in the house, to the end that it shall be, not only of use to the girls by teaching them their duties by actual practice, but that it shall be self-sustaining, which it is. The school has taken thousands of poor girls who were starving bacause they did not know how to work, and has turned them oat capable and intelligent and worthy of good work and good wages anywhere. The manageress of this sensible charity is Mrs. JtiliaCorson, and it is located at 47 East Tenth street. A girl from this school is al most certain to be honest and capable. Housekeepers in want of good, trained ser vants will do well to make a note of it. HIGH BUILDINGS. The mania now running among those who build at all is altitude. Some years ago the Equitable'Life Insurance Company ran up a building that loomed above anything else on lower Broadway, and since that height has run in the minds of everybody. The new Tribune building is nine immense stories high, with a tower almost touching the sky ; the the new building of the Western Union Tele graph Company is almost as high ; the Do mestic Sewing Machine Company is eight; the new post-office cannot be counted in stories, but it is an enormous building, and so on. The view of the city from the Jersey City Ferry is-becoming peculiarly pleasant. These buildings, with the scores of others, tower up above their surroundings, relieving wonder fully the monotonous uniformity which for merly wearied the eye. Those tall buildings do not pay—in fact, every one of them is a dead loss abovd the fourth story ; but, never theless, I hope the building of them will go on. They beautify the city, and the public get a benefit whether the proprietors do or not. It is a fact that none of these buildings pay three per cent. on the cost of construction and present price of ground ; but the propri etors all live in hope of the future. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." PUBLIC BALLS, Full of significance for next Winter, is the falling off in the number of public balls to be given. People have not the money to spend on dress and entertainments. There used to be a score of balls given by political clubs every season, not one of .vhich is on record for the coming winter. The great annual masquerade of the Anion Society of rich Ger mans, which used to count its guests by thous ands, is withdrawn from the Academy of Music, to a smaller hall, a significant triumph of prudence over pride, for the rivalry has been high between this club and the Lieder kranz as to which should show the largest and most brilliant house at their annual balls.— Very few military balls will be given in com parison with former seasons, and cheap balls for the lower classes will be foregone indulg ences. The thought in every one's mind will be, not how to dance, but how to dine, and there is such a prudent taking in of soil as makes one of the most cheering indications for the stormy season ahead. People are not ashamed either to talk or practice economy. The word is passed around that such and such families do not entertain this season, and no offence is taken, and no aspersion of close n:,ss made. WHAT TO DO WITH THE POOH, Is a problem which wise heads are intensely occupied in solving. Not a few of the rad ically-disposed newspapers finish the question in a sufficiently easy way to themselves by denouncing all plans of relief, and all char ities except the offer of work. The dread of drawing paupers from outside of the city, by the idea of soup-houses and free lodgings, weighs heavily ou the minds of some respect able gentleman, and not those who contribute most to such charities, either. It is very well to say, if any man will not work, neither let him eat ; but what about the woman and children, who are likely to starve when the foundry door is closed, the factory turns off its hands before work can be hunted up.—• Josiah Bounderby, of Coketown, has a large number of family connections, who are busily crying down the idea of relief, in the newspa pers. Every effort will be made by the be umlaut to find work for those who want it this season, but I,here must be piteous suffer ing among the destitute, which only the free ly-given loaf and pail of soup, and warm shel ter, will prevent from staining oureivilization with wholesale starvation, and deliberate mur COOP ens SERVANTS der. There is not workenough for the thous • ands who must have work whereby they may earn their bread, and the bread must come from somewhere. The objection to soup houses and free cis • tribution generally, which has position weight, is the fact that within a week after the inang uration of any free system of charity which gives food and shelter to all who ask, every lazy cur in the country makes his way some how to the city, and lives here till the chari ties close, in the luxurious idleness that such men love. The number of great, stout, big limbed, healthy men who haunt the soup houses and the frce-lodging houses would surprise you. They come by the thouutnds the moment the cold weather prevents them from sleeping in barns and living by beggary and theft in the country. It is a discouraging thing to have well-meant charity diverted from its proper channels in this way : to have relief intended to assist the deserving poor made to foster professional beggary. But what can be done ? Because the thieves get the half of all that is given, the honest poor cannot be allowed to starve. And so, I pre sume, the soup-houses and free lodging hous es will he opened again, and the just and the unjust fed together. REDUCTION OP WAGE.? OP TEACHERS There is trouble among the teachers. The instructors in the public schools of this city have always been paid just enough to keep soul and body together, that is, if the body is strong enough and the soul sufficiently subdued not to require much for to keep them alive. The average wages of the teachers in the primary schools was $650 per year, and in the higher schools $750. Now nobody can get decent board in this city for less than $lO per week, or $530 per year, and the board you get at that price would not come under the head of luxurious by any means. Add to this the cost of washing, of car-fare to and from her school, and you can figure how much the poor girl had left for clothes, to say noth ing of an occasionial book, or a concert, or anything in the way of diversion. What do you suppose the Board of Appor tionment of this great, rich city propose to do, or rather have done ? They have deliberately struck off 7 per cent. of these meagre salaries Think of it! The teachers remonstrate, but to no purpose. They are informed that thous ands of qualified people stand ready to take their places, at even a greater reduction, and that the inevitable •'law of supply and de mand" must come in here, as it does every where else; that the Board is bound, by its duty to the tax-payers, to get its work done as cheaply as it can. And the Board, after making this reply, probably aijoutned to a supper Cult cost all it had wrenched from the poor teachers which you may bo sure the tax payers paid for. How natural it is to pass from this state ment of oppression to a picture that followed it, namely, THE RAID tPON ROUSES OF ILL BAKE that took place Saturday night. This was a curious scene. The police were put into plain clothes, so as not to alarm their intended game, and an indiscriminate raid was made upon gambling dens, houses of prostitution, and street-walkers. In one geasy den sixty-two men and women were arrested, all of them playing "policy." Thirty-one houses were "pulled," the arrest numbering over a thous and, then operations commenced on the street walkers. Officers were instructed to gobble every woman of bad repute on Broadway and the streets leading to it, and in less than two hours, three hundred were safely stowed away in safety. It was a sad, sight those persons on Sunday morning. I cared nothing for the men, but my heart bled for the women. There were among them hundreds of modest, inno cent looking girls, who bore upon their faces only the slightest traces of sin, who were un mistakably the victims of circumstances.— These wept bitterly at the exposure of their degradation, many keeping their faces to the waltz or hidden in their hands, that they might not be seen. Possibly the next raid will catch some of the very teachers whose salaries a well-fed and comfortable board cut down to below the starvation point. Who knows? Necessity drove half the girls cap tured last Saturday night to evil courses, and every such action swcl;s the ranks of the vicious. If a girl's love for life is stronger than her power of endurance, when hunger and cold and despair have conquered her sense of shame, it is a very short step from virtue to vice, and an easy one. The girls who hid their faces Sunday morning from shame will, after one or two morearresta, look out squarely and brazenly in your face, and laugh at your pitying looks. At this stage, there comes about a yearof wild riot, and then some morning the body is taken out of the river ; and, without identification, buried in Potter's Field. But the fat, sleek• Board, every member living in good houses, and feeling, well every day, with daughters carefully look ed after, cuts of seven per cent. of the already beggarly salaries of the poor girls who teach :the youth of the city, and upon whose labors their welfare depends. It's a curious world, this. -.-...4;.-• iiii. Letter from California. SAN JUSTO RANCHO, NEAR. SOUTH SAN JUAN, CAL., } November 21, 1874. EDITOR JOURNAL : - While conternplating coming to California, it was with some dilL culty that precise and reliable information could be obtained concerning it, so perhaps a few items regarding this far off Common wealth may not be uninteresting to our friends in Huntingdon county and the readers of the JOURNAL. That it is different in many respects from Eastern Commonwealths is beyond doubt.— Whether or not it possesses advantages over them, is a question which each can best de cide for himself after a knowledge of the facts constituting the points of difference is ob tained. There is first the difference in cli mate. The great Japan current sweeping around the entire circle of the North Pacific materially changes the climate of this State, especially those portions lying outside of the Sierra Nevadas, heightening the temperature in winter and lowering it is summer, So that the extremes of heat and cold arc so little re moved as to surprise one accustomed to the great climate extremes of the Eastern and Middle latitudes. In my own experience I remember being at Manch Chunk in the win ters of 'l2—'73, when the mercury was 3:5° below zero, while the 4th of July previous, in the same region, I had enjoyed the delightful warmth of 98° Farenheit. This would make a difference in one year of 133°. While the greatest heat of summer in this latitude is not materially different from that of New York or Philadelphia, the cold of winter is very much less, and the heat of summer is modified and alleviated by the sea breezes, so that in warm weather one is always surprised to find the thermometer as high as it Is. I referred to the sea breezes. In the Summer (and this term applies to fully two-thirds of the year here,) the mornings are calm, but about 11 a. m., with almost clock-like regular ity, a gentle breeze springs up, increasing in force until about 3 p. m., and dying away at sunset, leaving the evenings and nights calm and cool. The extremes of temperature here between the coldest and warmest day is about 40°, while of course the -difference between the average temperature of the coldest and warmest month is fir less—seldom amounting to more than 20°. In spite of the mildness of the climate, warm and heavy clothing is as much needed here as in Pennsylvania. This seems paradoxical and is hard to understand without experience. It may be explained by saying that the climate is peculiar. It is oceanic as distinguished from inland. Even in our warmest days there is none of that sultriness which makes tie days and especially the nights so unpleasant in inland districts. A case of sunstroke or hydrophobia has never been known in this State. One is continually sur prised at the variety of clothing worn—i. e,. heavy and light clothing is worn indiacrimi nately almost throughout the entire year. On stopping in San Franciso on our way here, we saw on the streets well-dressed women in furs and women in light summer dresses, gentlemen in linen dusters and gentlemen in heavy clothes and overcoats, and that when we went to church in the evening we wore our heaviest clothing and were comfortable. On the night of my arrival at Hollister, the 24th of August, I drove with a physician friend to San Juan, returning after nightfall. It was bright and pleasant when we started, but being advised by the Doctor, I took my over coat and found it very comfortable on our homeward journey, which was through the still, cool moonlight of one of the most de lightful evenings I have ever enjoyed. So the nights continue through August and Septem ber, and so, I am assured, by old residents, they are,, without exception, throughout the warmest part of the year. In my next I will try to give some facts concerning the products of this State rendered famous by Bret Ilartt and the "Heathen Glance," The German government has relaxed the rigor of Count von Arnim's imprison ment. He is no longer under police our veillance. • The CooperW Union No. 2, of New York, which has been the most active in the late strikes, announces its intention of opening a co operative shop.

Planes, Buffslo, _7.l.—Your Golden Medical Discovery and Pur gative Pellets sell very largely and give complete satisfac tion, as numbers of our customers and friends testify with pleasure. Your favorite Prescription is indeed the great Favorite with the ladies, and numbers can Pay with joy that it has saved them from eking out a miserable life or meeting with permaturo death, and restored them to health and hsppiness." Thsusands of women bless the day on which Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription was first made known to them. A single bottle often gives delicate and suffering women more relief than months of treatment front their family physician. In all those derangements causing back-ache, dragging down sensations, nervous and general debility, it is a sovereign remedy. Its soothing and healing prop erties render it of the utmost value to ladies suffering from internal fever, congestion, inilamation or ulceration, and its strengthening effects tend t o correct displacements of internal parts, the ',cult of weakness of natural supports. It is sold by all druggests. Dr. PIERCE'S pamphlet on Diseases peculiar to Women will be sent to any address on receipt of two stamps. Address as above. New To-Day. AUDITOR'S NOTICE.

A Political, Literary, Commercial and General Newspaper, Devot,l to the Best Interests of the People. IN POLITICS, The COMMERCIAL will hereafter, as herendbre, be devoted to the support of Republican princi ples, maintaining its independeace within the Republican Party, and claiming the right at all times to speak freely and fearlessly on the merits of men and measures. Party government is essential to a constitutional country, and journals claiming to be independent of party are usually also independent of principle. Faithful to the great con- Nictious and aims upon which the Republican Party was based, it is the mouthpiece of nu clique or faction, sup porting the party solely because it believes that party is founded on Right and Justice. THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT of the COMMERCIAL will contain, front day to day, contributions from able writers upon all subjects—Political, Literary, Scientific, Legal, Commercial, Foreign and Local—in which its% iewi will be sot forth plainly and independently, keeping in view the prime aim of the paper, which is the best inter ests of all sections of the country. ITS NEWS DEPARTMENTS will always contain brief but accurate reports of all the occurrences of the day. Liberal expenditures will be made in securing special tel egrams and correspondence from the great news centres of the country, so that the readers of the COMMERCIAL can always rely on being served with early and reliable news. In the department devoted to the publication of Loral News will be found a complete daily history of the city and its environs, gathored by a Corps of careful writers and set forth in attractive style. TIIE MARKETS will, as heretofore, receive careful at tention. Full telegraphic reports of the State Business, with Prices Current, will be received daily front the Trade Centres of this country and Europe. The Pittat erg Mar ket. in all irs branches, will be reported fully Ind accu rately. As a commercial journal the COMMERCIAL stands second to no paper in the country.
