Durborrow & Co., but up to this time but a very small number of those to whom we have seat bills have respond ed. These accounts must be settled. From those who are unable to pay the cash we are willing to take their notes, for a limi ted time. On the first of August we had iniended placing our books in the hands of an officer for collection, but we will ex tend the time to the first of September, at which date all unsettled accounts will be collected by due process of law. If you would save costs and annoyance, give this notice your attention. We aro averse to this mode of collection, but when no atten tion is paid to our bills and appeals for payment, there is no other plan left for us to pursue. Don't compel us to add costs to your accounts.

Those who cannot be suited in price and accommoda. tions there must be very hard to please indeed. THANKS —Hon. J. Simpson Africa, Deputy Secretary of Internal Affairs, will please accept our thanks for a copy of his Annual Report on Railroad, Canal, Navi gation and Telegraph companies for 1877. THE Harrisburg Telegraph asks : Will Chairman Speer, .of the Democratic Cen tral Committee, invite Chairman Wood, of the Congressional Committee of Ways and Means, to Pennsylvania to aid Mr. Dill ? The miners and forge men of the State would like to know. THE National Labor Tribune, of Pitts burgh, says that the only machine the Na tionals in Pennsylvania are anxious to de stroy is the political machine. In that desire we are with them, but hope that in destroying it they will not kill the engi neer and fireman, Wallace and Speer. Tim Nationals were very severe on Hon. W. H. Armstrong for deserting them after he bad been defeated for the nomination for Governor in their State Convention. What will they say of Judge Stanton who deserted after they had elected him and endeavored to lead the communistic ele ment of the party to the support of Dill ? NOBODY has thought of suggesting that Congress ought to imitate the example of the Potter Committee by meeting at the sea shore when the session runs into the hot weather. It is unnecessary for Congress to go there when the Democrats have the majority, for they are always "half seas over" at any rate. IS HE A GREENBACKER ? The Minitor re-published last week some resolutions which it says were reported by a committee of which J. Simpson Africa was chairman and adopted by the Demo cratic convention of this county in 1862, and which, it claims, advocated a green back currency. The object of the :21/,,,,itm• is to make it appear that Mr. Africa WAS an original greenbacker. 'We have no objec tion to this impression going abroad throughout the State, if he desires it to, and he will be welcome to ail the votes it will make for him. The Nationalists will naturally inquire why he continued . his connection with the Democratic party if he sincerely entertained the views the Mon.- itor now imputes to him. That party was at that time the great opponent of the greenback theory and policy, and the po litical battles of 1562 and several subse • quent years, were fought upon that issue, the Democrats .opposing and the Republi cans.supporting it. Mr. Africa's party was then led by Vallandigham, llendrick B. Wright, George H. Pendleton, James , A. Bayard, Garrett Davis, and others, every one of whom denounced the act pro viding for the issuing of paper money by the Government as unconstitutional, one of them stigmatizing the notes which it was proposed to issue as follows : "You send these notes into the world stamped with irredeemability. You put on them the mark of Cain, and like Cain, they will go forth to be vagabonds awl fugitives on the earth." Then he goes on to tell what will be their history, predicting expansion of the currency, inflation of prices, depre ciation of values, diminution of incomes, the vanishing of the savings of the poor, the driving of gold and silver out of the country, ard, finally, the day of reckoning, when "private ruin and public bankruptcy, either with or without repudiation, will inevitably follow." :That would have been the time for Mr. Africa to have cut loose from the radical anti-greenback leaders of his party, and to have proved that his senti ments were opposed to theirs by joining the Republican party, which is the orio - and genuine greenback party of this country. And at the present time, when many Democrats are going over to the Na tionals upon the paper money issue, Mr. Africa continues his adherence:to the old party in opposition to the new. This kind of greenbackism will hardly deceive any body. In addition to this, we assert that the resolutions published in the Monitor, and to which we have referred, have noth ing in them from which the least inference can be drawn that they favor the National currency then proposed or that has since been adopted. Editor. SECRETARY SITERMAN has been making a persistent effort ever since the appoint ment of the Potter committee to have wit nesses examined Ibr the purpose of proving that intimidation was used to deter Repub licans from voting in Felician and other parishes in Louisiana at the election in 1876. His request was as persistently refused upon the ground that the same witnesses had previously been examined by another committee, and that if they were re called and repeated their statements they would only be contradicted by other witnesses. This flimsy excuse was made while the most surprising latitude, a license that would have been permitted in no court of justice, was given to Witnesses who were willing to say anything against the persons who had incurred the spite or enmity of Butier•or Potter. Mr. Sherman has since repeated his request to the sub committee at New Orleans, and through a spasm of fairness or an appreciation of the inconsistency of the former refusal, it has been granted, and the announcement has been made that the sub-committee will give the fullest apportunity for the taking of testimony. We may therefore hope to hear all about the Louisiana election and more than the Democrats intended we should hear when they commenced this in vestigation. When the smoke of battle has rolled away on the morning of the 6th of November next, the bleeding, dead and dying will not be found among the supporters of Andrew H. Dill.— Speer's Speech at Edenburg. Mr. Speer, in imitation of a Revolution ary statesman, knows of no way of judg ing of the future but by the past. Be cause there were no casualties among the less than two score officers and men who followed Dill on his two or three weeks' tour to welcome Lee into Pennsylvania, no cases of wounding, of bleeding, of dy ing, or even of diarrbon, it is now predict ed that his followers will be equally free from harm in the battle of next Novem ber. But nobody is more likely to fall into error than those who attempt to ape the wisdom of the wise. Mr. Dill's friends did bleed and die, they fell by hundreds upon the battle fields of the South fighting for the rebel cause, and judging the future by the past, we think "the bleeding, dead and dying" among his followers will be too numerous to count "when the smoke of the battle has rolled away." THE Altoona Daily Globe, a paper pub lished in the interest of the National party, after a hard fight for existence, yielded up the ghost on Friday morning last and an nounced its indefinite suspension. At the time of its death it had reached the one hundred and fourteenth number in its sec ond volume, but during this time it has been temporarily suspended a score of times, from various causes, the principal one of which was a scarcity of greenbacks, and which finally sent it "where the wood bine twineth." The management have now in contemplation the publication of a weekly paper, but they will also find this a not very paying enterprise. Greenback papers don't seem to pan out well, as scarcely a week passes without one or more of them going by the board. TETE Democratic State Central Commit. tee will meet at Cresson on the first of August. This is an experiment on a small scale, and if it works well the assemblages of the Democracy will hereafter be held where they can have access to plenty of pure, fresh spring water. A happy idea, Mr. Speer, and far better one than that suggested by the Pittsburgh Post. SEVERAL editorials, and the communi cations of "Trite" and "Justice," have been unavoidably crowded out of this issue. A FALSEHOOD ANSWERED. The following editorial paragraph from the Philadelphia Ptcs.4 of a recent date explains a falsehood that the Democrats have been industriously circulating and repeating, upon the theory, we suppose, that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth." and gives the answer to their un truthful assertions The statement made sojne days ago by a Democratic newspaper, and copied into nearly all the papers of that party in the State, that Col. Quay, Chairman of the Republican tate Committee, had made an assessment on those holding appointments under the Federal gov ernment for campaign purposes, and had an nounced that the campaign was "desperate," is, we are authoritatively informed, flatly un true. lie has, as yet, made no assessment upon office-holders, State or National, issued no circular addressed to them, and consequent ly has not advised them that tile campaign is desperate ; nor has any money been contribu ted by them to the committee. On the con trary, he gives it as his implicit belief that the Republican State ticket and a Legislature, largely Republican, will be elected in Novem ber. A certain newspaper, the name of which will be learned from the extract below, the author and chief disseminator of the false hood, returned to the charge the next day with increased vigor, to which the Press again replied as follows : The Harrisburg Patriot. takes the denial that Col. Quay, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, had issued a circular to officehold ers making an assessment upon them and ad vising them that the campaign was "desper ate," as an answer to an article, which, they say, appeared in their columns some days ago. We did not intend to reply to that paper par ticularly, but to any that may have published the charge. The Patriot says that the denial is not in contradiction of their specific asser tion. If not, we will make it so. We there fore distinctly repeat that Col. Quay has not issued a printed circular, at the bottom of which was written a request that the levy, made by the Congressional Committee, upon Federal office holders should not be paid to it, but to himself, and that he did not, as a rea son for such action on his part, state that the campaign was a desperate one. This is as ex plicit a denial of the Patriot's present charge as can be made, and is authoritative. When November comes it will be seen whose case is desperate. It was expected that the Patriot, after this last denial, would produce some proof of what it asserted, that it would at least publish the document which it alleged Col. Quay had issued, and which it under took to describe so minutely. But instead of doing this, it has backed down completely, and has not even mentioned the matter since. Its silence is sufficient to condemn it. The Eemocracy are already trembling at the vigorous and effective campaign which they see is to be waged against them by our efficient Chairman, Col. Quay, and despairing of finding out anything about the plan of battle by which he is to over. whelm them, they call their imaginations into play and state as fact what they sup• pose him to be doing and garnish their statements with the choicest flowers gath• cred from the prolific domain of untruth. When proved t) be lying, they merely quit and make no retraction. TILDEN is already actively engaged in the manipulation of New York politics.— He is endeavoring to control them for the advancement of his own aspirations for the Presidency. It is anticipated that there will be three candidates for that office in ISSO, and that the election may be thrown into the House of Representatives. In that event the vote will be taken by States, each State voting as a majority of its members may determine. It is therefore Mr. Tilden's object to increase the number of States that have Democratic delegations. He is especially anxious that his native State should be in a situation to support him, and it is to this end that Ile is work ing. He will direct all his efforts to doubtful Congressional districts, and to those that have heretofore been closely Republican, hoping to carry enough of these to effect his purpose. Of course, the Republicans of New York wig have as great an interest, though not as purely a personal one, in preventing this as Mr. Tilden will be in accomplishing it . , and his plans may not be successful. The at tempt, however, should warn the Repub licans of Pennsylvania and other States of the importance of sending none but Re publicans to Congress if it can be avoided, or at least of retaining a Republican ma jority in each delegation, in view of the part that Congress may play in the elec tion of the next President. JAMES GORDEN BENNETT contemplates a double expedition to the North Pole ; one vessel going by way of Behring's Strait and the other by way of Spitzbergen. It has been suggested that he send the Pot ter Committee along to investigate the questions of physical geography which ex. plorers have long been trying to solve. But if they would not be more successful in in discovering the Pole and by what it is surrounded than they have been in dis covering "fraud," the expedition would be a greater failure than Mr. Bennett is likely to permit it to be. If he wants to make use of the Committee, he had better send it to Africa. Butler would be as amusing to the dwellers on that Congo as a monkey is to white children, and after all, the committee is good for nothing but to amuse somebody. Tn Pittsburgh Pug commends the ac tion of the Potter committee in meeting at Atlantic City as sensible, and suggests that as the National conventions of all the parties are usually held during the heated term that they ought to meet at Long Branch or some other sea side resort. The experience of the Post has been prin cipally in Democratic conventions, and of course it is convinced by what it has seen of them that a watering place of some kind would be the most appropriate for them to meet at. But it would be a mistake to take the Democratic politicians to salt wa ter. They can't drink that, and they would have a better excuse than ever for not drinking water at all. THESE from the Harrisburg Telegraph : The Republicans of Huntingdon county are working to make H. G. Fisher their candidate, believing that he can carry that Congressional district, now represented by the phyrotechnic Stenger. Fisher, in the State senate, showed high ability as a leg islator. Speer, of the Democratic State Central Committee, is on a still hunt, But where ever be goes he is asked to tell what he knows about salary'grabbing, and he trieq to dodge behind the ten dollar Legislature, but is always prevented in that trick by finding so many of his friends in it. TETE Harrisburz Patriot hasn't repeat ed that "desperate" lie about Chairman Quay's circular for a week. It got the kind of a denial it asked for and has since treated the matter with silence.' It ought t) confess "in direct terms, as downright lying is just as reputable and fair as dodg ing. or inferential falsehood." It was on entering a barber shop that Ilien•z said "I come not here to talk."—Cincinna! Commercial. We know or several talking politicians who ought to adopt the same rule, and then go into a barber shop, and stay there. \o• tibly among them are Chairmen Speer and Devices. Whenever and Wherever Diseases of a cholerate type prevail, or there is cause to apprehend a visit from them, the system should be toned, regulated and rein forced by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular . habit of body are the best safeguards against such disorders. If promptly taken in billions colic, diarrlicea and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrlicea cases, it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relax ed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this medicine. Wind on the stoma-Ai, heartburn, biliousness, nausea, headache and other symptoms of disturbance in the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent remedy. As a family medi cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and completely remedies those ailments which are of most frequent occurrence. [julys-lm The Secret of Business Success. It is claimed that Vanderbilt exhibited great nerve and shrewd business sagacity in the purchase of stocks and railroads c9ntrolled by him.

CLARKE'S TOOTH ACHE DROPS cure instantly, LITERARY NOTES.- THE MIDSUMMER HOLIDAY (AUGUST) SCRIBNER. —ln accordance with a plan of the editor. formed a year ago, the Midsummer Holiday number of Scribner's Monthly opens with a portrait of Wm. Cullen Bryant, engraved by Cole from a erayon drawing by Wyatt Eaton, for which the poet gave repeated sittings during the past spring. The paper on Mr. Bryant's life and home, which it was also planned to have with the portrait, is by Rev. 11. N. Powers, and was written before the former's illness. The illustrations are about twenty in number and chiefly represent points of interest at or near the Cummington and Roslyn residences. Dr. Holland also writes editorially of Mr. Bryant, and "The Old Cabinet" contains an estimate of his standing as a poet, and a reprint of the curious original version of "Thanatopsis." The departments in most cases, are full and the subjects seasonable. In "Topics of the Time,' besides "The Death of Bryant," Dr. Holland discusses "Our Commune" and "Greatness in Art." In "Home and Society" there is a detailed account of the practical work of the "Rural Art Associa tion" of Clinton, N. Y., which is said to be the old est and one of the most successful of its kind in the country. Among the reviews is one criticisiug the writer of "Tender Recollections of Irene Mac gillicuddy," and pointing out defects in his (or her) knowledge of New York society. "The World's Work" is given over to "Recent Improve ments in Telephony" (with seven cuts), discussing the Edison and Hughes experiments now promi nent before the public. Two or three additional pages are given to "Brie-a-Bras," which contains two series of drawings by new humorous artists, besides a satire on house-furnishing, by Mr. Stoc kton, and dialect and society verse of a fresh and diverting character, etc. Perhaps the most striking paper in the Eclectic Magazine for August is "Eternal Hopes; A Reply to Many Critics," by the Rev. F. W. Farrar. In it Canon Farrar replies to the numerous writers who have oritioised his recent volume of sermons in the Contemporary Review; and the article as a whole is a very remarkable discussion of a topic of the most profound and undying interest. Another noteworthy paper is one by his Highness Midhat Pasha, on "The Past, Present and Future of Turkey;" and of exceptional interest is the second paper of the series entitled "Impression of America," by Rev. It. W. Dale, entitled "Politics." The scientific articles are 'even better than usual, one on "The Origin of Flowers" leading off the number, while another, entitled "A Fiery World," explains the probable physical condition of Mer cury, the nearest to the sun of all the planets, "Moryon and Meryon's Paris," by Frederick Ned more, is described by the Spectator as "a model magazine paper," and "The Great Tropical Fal lacy," by J. Arbuthnot Wilson is not inferior in either interest or literary merit. There is a very suggestive article by Matthew Arnold on "John son's Lives of the Poets, and also 4brilliant review of "Philochristuc," a book which has made a profound sensation in England. The poetry and fiction of the number (including four chapters of Wm. Black's "Macleod of Dare," and a lively short story entitled "A Romance by Rum-Light") are of exceptionally high quality ; and the four Editorial Departments aro well filled. - Finally, there is a fine steel cu ravel portrait of Professor Helmholtz, the great German chemist, with a sketch of his life copied from N•tturc.

Thirpci'm Mitgazine for An4u-t, is a Lumber which has never been surpasse.l in the interest of its reading matter, awl Ibe In.tuty and artistic excellence of its illustrations. The opening articles by F. lieppel, one of the most judicious art collectors in this country, is devoted to ''The Goblcn Age of Engraving," a fit subject for a Number which may ftirly be said to be the best representutiot ever given of the achievcments of this art. Lift at the White Sul phur Springs is the subjeet of an interesting paper by John listen Cooke, with twenty line illurtra tions of character and scenery. Clara F. Morse, the author of "Blush Roses," just published in ll•trper's Library or American Fiction, contributes a beant ifully illustrated and entertaining article on Tunbridzo Wells, and "Old-fashioned Spa" in hunt, "Dm Garden of England " Nothing could he more beautiful, or better suited to the Midsummer season, than Mrs. Conant's paper on "Birds and Plumage," with sixteen superb illustrations by Gibson, General Egbert L. Viele, in "A Glimpse of nature from my Veranda." an instructive and fascinating article, presents midsummer in its scientific, aspects, with illustrations. Three excellent short stories are given, each of which has a eptcial intert.st. Thomas Knox con tributes a remarkable paper entitled "John Coin prador," giving an inside view of Chinese mercan tile life, not only in China, but also in other countries, aid exposing the u:e . hods by which the Chinese have gained in the competition with for eign merchants. The number contains live poems. The serial stories—William Black's "Macleod of Dare" and Thomas Hardy's "The Return of the Native," are continued with unabated interest. The Editor's "Easy Chair" treats of our Decora tion or "All-heroes" Day, the Women's Ilote', Mr. Murray's new Church enterprise, Lord Bea consfield at Berlin, and Bryant. The other Edi torial Departments are well sustained. ST. NICHOLAS FOR AUG rsT.—The Midsummer Holiday number—opens with a long, funny poem by J. T. Trowbridge, versified from a story by Maul Christiani, and entitled "King Cheese." It deals with a curious incident of the Paris Exhibi tion of I 567, and is illustrzted with a very comical frontispiece, and several smaller pictures by Hop kins. The number is Summery from cover to cover, and has the pleasant flavor of vacation both in tone and subjects. Sarah Winter Kellogg provides a Summer Fishing Story, "Rods for Five," which has - a full-page picture of a leafy trout stream ; and from Lucy Larcom there iA a poem entitled "Happy Fields of Summer," with a suitable iilus tration ; while "Frank R. S , ockton furnishes a fairy tale of gnomes, a hear and a little.girl, under the title, "Emergency Mistress." There is a short illustrated paper about the "Digger Wasps, and a brief but timf'ly artic!e, with sensible hints, about "How to Travel." Then, by way of contrast comes "Gerty," a pathetic story of a very poor city boy and a sick little girl in winter time. The serials, "Under the Lilacs," and "Dab Kinzer," tell among other good things, about an exhibition of oratory in a country school-house; of an interesting archery match among the boys and girls; and how three boys had an exciting trip to sea in a yacht. The editorial departments,—For Very Little Folks, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Letter-Box, and Riddle- Box,—are well-tilled with bright, varied and attractive tid-bits.
