Every Voter should read tits ticket,
and sco Uiat-Uo votes for the best men.
It Is estimated that the Internal re
venue ptodpta for the preeent month
Ul be about 19.000,000."
The registration pf voters In New
Yorlc city was completed on Saturday.
The total Is 140,075, against 123,878
last year, and 149,010 In 1872.
The Brotherhood, of Locomotive
Engineers, which bad been In session
nt Atlanta, has adjourned, and will
hold Its next annual session, in New
York. '
Third Assistant Postmaster Qeneral
Harbour estimates that tho Government
Ib defrauded annually out of $1,000,000,
by the use of "washed" postage-stamps.
It is believed that to carry fin the fraud
so extensively, there must be an organ
ized system for the ' purpose. Tho
"washing" In many cases, hqwever, is
so poorly done, that It is readily de
tected, and the letter is sent to the dead
letter office.
A New Orleans special to the New
York Herald fays that the registry Just
shows that one person In threo of tho
total population of tho city has been
registered. Tho Republicans' 'chaj-ge
the Democrats with having manufac
tured 3000 illegal naturalzatton papers,
while thfl Democrats say they have de
tected 2000 Republican repeater?. The
total registry In the state ' is estimated
by Governor Ktllogg at 105,000, with
the blacks about C0OO ahead of the
whites.
A District Attorney is to be elected
on Tuesday next. Our young friend E.
R. Sieweus, Esq., of Mauch Chunk,
has been nominated for that position.
lie Is a young man of considerable
talent, and U well Bttrd for this posi
tion! having been born and educated In
this county, he has a general acquaint
ance with our people; Is gentlemanly In
his deportment; well read In his profes
sion, and although it Is less than a year
since his admission to the bar, he has
attained to quite a lucrative practice.
Mr. S. merits tho support of the people.
Tho aim of tho people In electing men
to office, should not be their political
name, but their fitness for tho positions
for which they are the candidates, and
for this reason do we tak tho candi
dates for Assemblymen A. J. Duiil
ino, Democratic, and Jas. R. STittmi
prts, Republican, and commend them
to the suffrages of our fellow citizens.
Of the four candidates named by the
tvyp great parties tha above mentioned
aro tho most fitted by their education,
their associationi and their general
knowledgo of the wants of the peoplo
for representatives in the State Legisla
ture. TnE Business Situation. The New
York Times Is convinced that therp
need be no apprehension of anything
like general distress this autumn or
winter. Wo quote:
mat Business win bo prospprqus
we ao not except, in at it will be so
nextsprlugis more probable, There
has been a very serious blow dealt to
tlio general business of tho country,
and especially to the railroad Interests
and those connected with It, Front
this wo are Rlowly recovering. The
pountry goes on producing steadlally,
and it consumption has diminished.
fxioner or later this leads to renewed ac
tivity. It may bo a gradual renewal,
or it may bo a rapid and extensive one,
when, it comes. Xfut tho renewal Is
pound to take place.
The general election will take place
on Tuesday next, Nov. 3rd. A County
Commissioner Is to be elected at that
time. Two candidates are in tho field
IIenky UovKit, Esq., of Welssport.and
JftsiAii Bppri, of Franklin Twp. Tho
latter gentleman we are unacquainted
wit,)), but lie 9 said to be a good honest
fellow; tho fonner,flEsnY BovEit.Esq.,
wo know well and liave had a number
of business transactions with him, and
upon all occasions have found him
strictly honest in bis dealings and
prompt in his settlements, and can
thereforo heartily recommend him to
the people, believing that, should he
be elected, he will prove a good and
trustworthy Commissioner.
Governor Dlx, of New York, ad'
dressed a large Republican meeting at
the Cooper Institute Monday night. At
Ute conclusion of his speech he was
greeted with loud cries of "IIow about
the third term?" He replied that he
did uot come to thrust any opinion of
his Into the canvass, but said he would
answer that question fiankly lest his
silence should be misconstrued, and
added, "I say, then, distinctly, that
am uot In favor of a third term." The
Governor's statement was received with
euUiiixluatle cheers. Ho concluded by
cxpxfwlng tho belief that nn purpose of
a third term existed anywhere, and that
Gen. Grant, who, llko Washington and
Jackson, tiad twlcp received from' his
countrymen the highest mark of confi
dence and gratitude, would, when the
proper time arrived, "express a desire
to bo relieved from the cares of office,
and give by his action additional force
to the example of his lllustrlqus prede?
cessors."
FOR CONGRESS,
Tho Republicans of this district havp
nominated their candidate for Congress,
It will no doubt be generally conceded
by men of all parties that It would be
difficult to pamo an abler, more popu
lar, bpttcr qualified and respected man
for that position in tho district or State.
A close and experienced observer, well
acquainted with men and things, with
an Intlmato knowledge of the business
and resources of the country, ho would
make just such a representative jn Con
gress as the people of Pennsylvania
might well feel proud of.
A. W. BUTLER, Esq.,
of Mauch Chunk, Is the nominee al
luded to. The numerical odds on the
Democratic side are too great against
him to allow any oneo fel sangulco
of his election, but his fitness for tho
position warrants us In predicting that
his majority In this county p at least,
will be not only Mattering, bat substan
tial and telling.
