All persons knowing themselves indebted to this office for subscription, advertising or job work, for over one year's standing, are ex pected to call and pay up at once. These ac counts MUST be settled without further delay.— We have shown great leniency to those owing us, but our business interests now require us to demand payment,•and if this request is not complied with we will be compelled to add costs, something which we are averse to doing if it can be avoided. We have bills against several townships and boroughs, for advertising their school and supervisors' accounts, which should have been paid long ago, and which must now be paid. All accounts remaining unpaid after the coming Court will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection. If. THE case of Benjamin Hunter, the Cam den murderer,was before the Jersey courts this week, but no decision is looked for be fore next week. NINE convicts—six black and three white—were publicly whipped, in the jail at Newcastle, Del., on Saturday last, for petty thieving. WE are pleased to learn that our friend, Jesse R. Akers, is• building up a good &gar trade. He is a clever fellow and deserves to win. IT is reported from Washington that the recent outrages in the South will be fully treated in the forthcoming message cf President Hayes. THE State treasury is empty, and the Soldier Orphan Schools have received no money for six months past. There is a deficit of $2,000,000. SETH Y. Yocum, the gentleman who laid "our Andy" on the shelf, at one time edited the Ashland _Mountaineer, a cam paign paper, which vigorously supported Curtin for Governor in 1800. HENRY F. DARLINGTON, editor and proprietor of the Bucks County intelligen cer, was stricken with paralysis on Satur day morning, and after remaining uncon scious during the day, died on Sunday morning. BOTH the Republican and Democratic papers published in the XXth district have been telling their readers why ex- Governor Curtin was not elected to Con gress. They could spare a great deal of space by just saying that he did not get votes enough, and that while the Demo crats loved the treason they despised the traitor. DENNIS KEARNEY, the blathering black guard, who was traveling and making speeches for the Nationalists during the late campaign, has taken his departure for California, where he will renew the war against the Chinese, and in doing so he will rally to his standard all the bad ele ments of society in that State. He prom. ins to ruturn east next fall. Tux counsel of Jack Kchoe are going to make another effort to save the culprit's neck, by bringing his case before the Board of Pardons next month. They say that if they can get a bearing they will be able to produce new-found evidence which will prove their client innocent of the Lang. ford murder. The counsel of this unfor tunate man have displayed an energy which would be commendable in a better cause. DEMOCRATIC and Greenback papers claim that the Republican party is in a minority of sixty thousand in Pennsylva nia. They obtain this result by adding together the vote for Dill and Mason and subtracting Hoyt's. By a similar calcula tion, we find that the Democratic minority in the State is 105,000, and the Green back minority 535,000. The copperheads and communists are welcome to whatever consolation there may be in the figures. THE Democrats in the Bisbee district, in Florida, have resorted to all kinds of crookedness in order to count that gentle man out. Three precincts,which they threw out, give Bisbee, Republican, 450 majori ty and elects him by about; 200 majority. The Supreme Court has decided that these precincts shall be counted, but we sup pose the "law-abiding" Democrats in the next Congress will settle the matter with the same honesty (?) which characterized their action in the case of Belford, of Col orado. OUR neighbor of the Monitor gently raps the senior editor of the Democrat and Register, of Mifflintown, over the knuckles for something he has said about Mr. Speer, and intimates that if the Register man had been chosen one of the secretaries of the State Committee, and "received all the 'snag' he demanded" he would now sing a differet tune. Of course he would ; but "go in," gentlemen, and settle your own family affairs, and while you are engaged in doing so we will look on with as much disinterestedness as the old woman who witnessed the tussle between her husband and the bear. PHILADELPHIA North American : The railroads are now paying about seven dol lars each for the privilege of carrying pas sengers from Cincinnati to New York—that is to say, the rate of faro is down to one dollar from that point to this city and New York. Two bankrupt roads, whose stock holders have not had a penny of dividends , since their incorporation, and neither of which is paying the interest on its debt, finding that they could not compete with the other roads in anything except fares, are responsible for this outrageous attack upon invested capital. They can make nothing themselves, auk( are determined that no one else shall. Every new Legis lature is petitioned for laws to prevent ex- Ortionate charges. Is it not about time that some stockholders set to work to se cure some legislation to prevent the sacri fi of their interests by bankrupt corpor ations, whose reckless managers have no int3rest whatever in earning any profit upon their business? ESTIMATING THE RESULT. In the posting of accounts incidental to the settling up of the last election, the Delaware county Republican says it seems that the Republican party has largely maintained its prestige North of Mason and Dixon's line. Equally below that, there seems to be a disposition of all the voters that could safely deposit their bal lots to the contrary, in favor of a solid South, inasmuch as the tow Republicans elected there by right were denied their return, and in the case of Bisbee, the can didate of that party for Congress from the Second Florida district, only with great exertion on his part, has succeeded in ob taining from the State Supreme Court an alternative writ of mandamus to compel the Alachua County Board of Can vassers to count the vote of three precints, which had been thrown out and on which depended his election. At this time, when so much has been recorded as to the con ciliation of the peculiar Southern element, it must be confessed it is not a little dis couraging to find that just now the rela tive positions of the parties are just about where they were at the inception of the rebellion. In the properly so called free States, there is no political terrorism, no abbreviation of "free speech," and conse quently no rejection of votes on strict party grounds. Below the dividing line of free dotn of opinion, it seems the case is entire• ly different Any respectable person, ir respective of complexion or previous con dition, might well hesitate on the exercise of his right of suffrage, guaranteed by the Constitution and endorsed by the war that followed, if it involved his personal safety, and such result seems to have been arrived at in some of the States that, in the past, were noted fur their loyalty to the cause of the rebellion. Editor. A solid South with its equivalent, a de termined North, places us just where we wcre in Ha If, as has been said, "his tory repeats itself," so, after an exhaustive war in which the Union had been depleted of her citizens and a heavy amount of lia bilities imposed in the industrial States, that has taxed their energies to meet, and from which they are just now emerging, to even realize that there seems to be but little loyalty evinced on the part of our "erring brethren" has the force of argu• ment to prove that our efforts at concilia tion have been thrown away. Not until every citizen of the several States can de posit a ballot representing his free political opinion in any State, North or South, is the mission of the Republican party ac complished, or the safety of the nation con served. The fair decision at the polls is the register of popular opinion and must be so respected. But the day of bulldozing, of armed intervention at the poll 3, in order to create a majority on the one side or the other, belongs in no wise to our forms and methods of government. To tacitly admit of such a proposition would be to reduce us to the approval of the strategy that fur years past has controlled Mexico and other so-called Republics of South America, and cannot reasonably be entertained. THE Philadelphia papers of Monday contained an announcement of the death of Hon. Alexander C. Mullin, which occurred at his residence, in that city, on Saturday last. Mr. Mullin was well known to many of the citizens of this town and county, having been a candidate for State Senator when our county was con nected with Cambria. He was born in Bedford county, but in early life removed to Cambria county, which he represented in the lower house of the Legislature in 1861. He was shortly afterwards appoint ed by Gov. Curtin as his private secretary. In 1876 he was appointed secretary to the st ate board of centennial commissioners. Mr. Mullin was a frequent contributor to the press and had few superiors as a fluent and graceful writer. He also occasionally published poetry of more than ordinary excellence. He was a genial gentleman whose generous and ennobling impulses endeared him to a large circle of friends. NEWSPATORIAL.- It is stated in New York that $150,000 has been raised there by a Company to start a one-cent daily newspaper the size of the Evening Telegraph, with Joseph Howard, Jr., as editor. The price of The New York Mekly Times has been reduced to One Dollar per annum, post paid. At no period in its his tory has the future of the party of equal rights and nat:onal honor depended so much on the dissemination of sound polit ical information among the people. No better public educator and no more com plete newspaper can be found than The Weekly limes, and every fresh subscriber added to its list is a pin to the Republi can Party. We have received the initial number of the Houtzdale News, purporting to be issued at Houtzdale, Clearfield county, by Frazer Bros , but as only two pages of it are print ed there, and the remaining six at some one of the many "patent" newspaper es tablishments throughout the country, we are unable to fix the exact place of its publication. The typographical appear ance of the foreign pa of the paper is good, but the home production shows very bad taste in composition, make-up and press work, while the scarcity of local mat ter and advertising leads us to believe that the .News is not a necessity. However, we wish the gentlemen may realize a for tune out of their enterprize, a result we very much doubt. Holiday Good Thinjs, is the name of a morning daily paper our friend, Major W. Port Crawford, of the _Monitor, pro- poses to issue during the Holiday season, commencing on the 23d prox., and ending on the first day of January. As the week ly papers of the town are not issued du ring Holiday week, there is a fine opening for a sprightly little daily, and the Major's experience in shoving the pencil will en able him to get up a paper that will fill the bill. The subscription price, for eight numbers, is only Ten cents, which should insure its introduction to every household in the county, We hope that "Good Things" may prove a very good thing to its enterprising publisher. CONORM meets on Monday next, wheal we may expect to see the Democrats show the cloven foot. THE country was startled on Tuesday morning by the news of another ocean horror, The Hamburg-American steamer "Pommerania" collidel with the Welsh bark "Noel Eilian," eight miles southwest of Folkestone. The former vessel, which carried two hundred and thirty passengers and crew, fJundered in ten minu:es after the accident. One hundred and seventy two of her russt ngers and crew were saved by the timely as.-istance of the steamer "Glengarry," while fifty eight persons are missing, among them the Captain of the ill-fated vessel. Among her cabin passen gers were five members of the Clymer fain ly of Reading, but whether these have been lost or saved the account before us does not state. The unfortunate accident happened during the prevalence or a dense fog. IF Governor Hartrinft had signed the warrant to launch Jack Kehoe into eter nity a year ago, he would have been bound ed by the pack now yelping at his heels, with even more fierceness than they now pursue him. It was the Democratic leaders who nursed the assassin as a means of ma king political capital. Governor Hart ranft gave his case the deliberation to which all such affairs, enveloped in similar mystery, are entitled. Iris course was one in pursuit of justice, with mercy ever in view. The hucksters in the wretch's life, who now denounce the Governor, cared nothing for Kehoe, nothing for law, noth ing for justice. It was all party, and that having failed, they are stung to madness - ifarrisburg Telegraph. A WELL-MERITED HONOR. The Banquet to Hon. M. S. Quay. A LARGE AND BRILLIANT COMPANY AS SEMBLES IN HIS HONOR-NUMEROUS TOASTS AND SPEECHES-LATEST N7,WS FROM ABROAD -WHAT WAS DONE THERE AND HOW IT PASSED OFF &c., &c., &e. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.—The ban quet, on Saturday evening, to Colonel Quay, in recoznition of his superb services as chairman of the Republican State Corn tuittee, was a grand success. Early in the evening large numbers of Philadelphia's prominent Republicans visited the Union Clubs rooms and paid their respects to Mr. Quay. lie stood at one end of the room and grasped the hand and quietly replied to the complimentary remarks each one made who pai I his tribute of respect to the honored guest. After the reception, the Club with its invited guests proceeded to the Continental Hotel, where a magnifi cent banquet had been prepared. After the cloth had been removed various toasts were offered and responded to, many of the responses being exceptionally brilliant and appropriate. "Our Guests," was responded to by Mr. Quay; "The Press," by Morton McMichael; "The Governor of Pennsyl vania," by Gov. Hartranft ; "The Gover nor elect," by Gen. Hoyt, Gen. A. E. King and Hon. G. A. Grow ; "The Presi dent of the United States," by ex-Gov. Young. Gov. Young commenced his re marks by acknowledging the compliment, and, in reference to the fai4ure in Ohio in 1876, and the succeeding victory, said he came to Philadelphia for aid, but found that it needed all its res)urces itself. He went from State to State and the National Committee at Washington, but was refu sed. On his way home, disheartened, he met Don Cameron and told him his trou bles. "tie wanted to know how much I wanted," said Governor Young. "I told him, and he gave me a cheek for the amount. He gave us the State of Ohio, and I tell you there is a hereafter, and Don Cameron shall not be forvtten. But what was my toast On yes ?" And the speaker launched off into a eulogy of Pres ident Hayes, which was not received with much approbation. Other toasts followed in rapid succession. But three declina tions to attend were received, from Sena tors Cameron, Blaine and Conkling, as follows : NEW YORK. Nov. 23 —John E. Ad dicks, tsq., Union Club, Eleventh and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia : lam on my way to see my daughter, who is sick at school, and will be prevented from uniting with you in the complimentary banquet given- to my friend, lion.

Roscoe Conkling and James Cr. Blaine : UTICA, Nov. 20,1878 —My DEAR SIR : Owing to absence from home, I have but now received your valued invitation to at tend a dinner proposed by the Republican Club of Philadelphia, in compliment to Mr. Quay, on the 23d instant. The hospitalities of tho Club are too freshly and gratefully remembered, and the part borne by Mr. Quay in the recent graad action of Pennsylvania is too highly appreciated to make it easy to deny my self the pleasure you offer. I am, how ever, bound by rrofessional engagements which forbid the indulgence. Rest assured that in heart I shall be with you, and that my kindest wishes, and with them my admiration, go to the Re publicans of your city and State.' Cordially, Your obedient servant, ROSCOE CONKLING . HENRY 11. BINGHAM, fag. , No. 2010 Spruce street, Philadelphia. AUGUSTA, Maine, November 21, 1873. General H. 11. Bingham, Philadelphia— DEAR SIR : If my engagements permit ted, I would gladly attend the dinner to be given by the Union Republican Club in honor to Mr. Quay. The superb Republican victory in Penn sylvania was the result of patient, persist ent, pervading organization—the credit of which belongs, in very large measure, to the chairman of your State Committee, who labored with intelligent zeal and con summate ability. Be good enough to tender him my con gratulations, and my hearty ;sympathy with the compliment which recognizes the merit of his work. I beg, als), to convey through you my appreciation of the invaluable aid your club has given to the Republican cause in Pennsylvania, and also the personal obli gations I am under to its members for hos pitalities that were genial, and grateful and generous. Very sincerely yours, J. G. BLAINE. The British Triumph.

Scribner 8: Co., in 1873, began the publication of St. Nicholas, an Illustrated Magazine for Girls and Boys, with Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge as editor. Five sears have passed since the first number was issued, and the magazine has won :lie highest position. It has a monthly circulation of OVER 50,000 COPIES It is published simultaneously in London and New York, and the transatlantic recogaition is almost as general and hearty as the American. Although the progress of the magazine has been a steady advance, it has not reached its editor's idea of best, because her ideal continually outruns it, and the magazine as swiftly follows after. To-day St. Nicholas stands. ALONE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS : The New York 'Pribune has said of it "St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform, and commands fur its service wider resources in art and letters than any of its predecessors or contemporaries." The London Literarg World says: "There is no magazine for the young that can he said to equal this choice production of Scribner's press. GOOD THINGS FOR 1878 9 The arrangements for literary and art contributions of the new volume—the sixth—are complete, drawing from already favorite sources, as well as from prOmising new ones. Mr. Frank It. Stockton's new serial story fur boys, - - - - "A JOLLY FELLOWSHIP," Will run through the twelve monthly parts—beginning with the number for November, 1178, the first of the volume,— and will be illustrated by James E. Kelly. The story is one of travel and adventure in Florida and the Bahamas. For the girls, a continued tale, HALF A DOZEN HOUSEKEEPERS, By Katharine D. Smith, with illustrations by Frederick Neiman, begins in the same number ; and a fresh serial by Susan Coolidge, entitled "Eyebright," with plenty of pictures, will be commenced early in the volume. There will also be a continued fairy-tale called "RUMPTY BUDGET'S TOWER," Written by Julian Ifawthorne, and illustrated by Alfred Fredericks. About the other familiar features of St. Nicholas, the editor preserves a good-humored silence, content, perhaps, to let her live volumes already issued prophesy concerning the sixth, in respect to short stories, pictures, poems, humor, instructive sketches, and the lure and lore of "Jack-in-the-Pulpit," the "Very Little Folks" department, and the "Letter•box," and "Riddle box." _ Terms, $3-00 a year; 25 cents a Number.

CLOAKS® Our success in Milne the wants of those wanting an outside covering is not one of look, but of study, constant inquiry and long experience in the making as well as selling these garments. No part of our house requires such untiring watchfulness, no kind of merchandise is so worthless when out of style as a cloak—no department is more active in the season of selling. The materials used this season are Diagonals, in various widths, Matelasse, Fur Black Beavers, Silk Matelasses and Plain Silks; also, a rough-faced material called Camel's Hair, which is new, but not very pleasing to the eye. The articles used for Trimmings are Velvet, Gros Grain, Grass Fringe, Fancy Gimps and Braids. As to shapes, the new things are of the Mantle order, but with a sleeve much more comfortable and yielding than garments of this character have been heretofore; the general effect, too, is more grace ful and pleasing. The Sacque, though, retains its old popularity, and is bound to be the leader with the majority. In shape it differs but little from last season. CHILDREN'S CLOAKS, from the smallest size up, have our best attention. They are made of Blue and Brown Beaver, Matelasse end Fancy Cloths, and cost from $4.00 upward.
