To these :lout thirty or forty have responded, but the great nates have not yet paid any attention to them. We need the money badly or we would not have sent out the request to pay up. Since the first of July we have set whole weeks in our office and did not take in core than $lO, while we were having an actual ez- pense of $6O per week. This has Lccn extremely mortifying and annoying to us, We incurred expenses that were unavoid able, and when the time for payment has beea reached we !build oureives without motley, while thousands are due uE. The sums generally due us are so small that the great majority of those who owe us could pay if they made a little exertion. We urge all who are inlebtei to us to make an effort to pay up o.ad help us out of the drag. We have an cac3llent paying list; there is no better, and we appreciate their trouble in raising money, but our necessi ties compel us to urge them to pay a little sooner than they may have contemplated. We are making some fine improvements— some that are a credit to 013 printing hu siness in Huntingdon awl a lasting cred - it to the town—and they must now, with oth er indebtedness, be paid for. Come, help us. Don't get mad when you read this, but say, "Well, I feel proud of my paper, and I feel like helping the men who have the enterprise and spirit to keep up with the times. I will pay up the old score and a year in advance." That is the way to say it ! tf THE NEW SECRETARY IN THE INTERIOR. The President since his return from the West, his appointed Hon. Zacharia Chan dler, of Michigan, to be Secretary of the Ulterior in the place of Hon. Columbus Delano. The Ex-Senator it pronounced the right man for the place by those who know him intimately. We take pleas in copying from a letter of D. R. Locte, (Petroleum V. Nasby) who speaks from the book. He says : "The attitude of the New York press in the matter of appointment of Ex-Senator Chandler, of Michigan, Secretary of the Interior, is not only unfair, but brutal. They denounce the appointment as one en tirely unfit to be made, intimating, if they Jo not assert, that the new Secretary is a hlatherer, a ninny, and drunkard. Possi bly the gentlemen who aru discharging these little ink-squirts at Chandler know hint and possible they do not. I do, and I predict that he will make the best officer th it department has had since Cox left it. llc was for years the most prominent busi ness man in the West, and handled great r interests than any other. He was a merchant, a manufacturer, a shipper; he pur(;hased and developed immense tracts ~t' iand in Michigan, and for forty years b has been known as a man not only of absolute integrity, but one of great enter p;•so, foresight, method, and shrewdness; and he is anything but a drunkard. It strikes me that these qualifications are ago a what the country wants in such places- They are, precisely those tftitt Jewell brought up to the Post Office Department, :1;1.1 we all know what he has done in that place. Mark my words, Chandler will ad minister the duties of his office honestly, vigorously and intelligently. True, he is ,:i.rtisan, but let it he remembered that those howling at Grant's heels on that ac e loot howled just as loud seven years ago b.,!: Luse he did not put partisans in posi t;:: Time will confound them."
