11. V. M0RT1IIMER, EDITOR millOU'TON, l'A.: SATORDAT MORNING, AUGUST 18, 1877. The total amount of slim Issued to dato Is 834,250,000. The amouut of fractional currency redeemed to date Is $21,080,000, leaving $10,020,000 still outstanding. -Among the many schemes for the relief of the worklogmeti Is that of John Gibson, of Philadelphia. It Is to raise a fund of 11,000,000 by 100,000 sub scrlptlonsof $10 each, with which waste unimproved land In New Jersey or Pennsylvania may be bought, and on which men who are willing to work nay be placed. A. switchman on tbo Pan Ilandlo Railroad named Scblutter was found lying senseless near tlio round-house In Columbus, Ohio, Sunday morning, with a terrible bruise oh his right cheek and temple, which looked as If made by a club. His face and bead were so swol len that It could not be ascertained It bis skull was fractured, and bis com! I tlon was critical at last accounts Schlatter was one of the men who re mained at bis post during the strike. It is predicted that within fifty years n district of one hundred miles sauare. Including tho counties of Athens, Perry, and Hocking, In Ohio, will equal In productiveness to any coal region In the world. This section has twenty-two feet of solid coal in five seams, the greatest vein being in some places twelve feet thick, and nowhere less than six, Mingled among the coal beds are Inexhaustible ones of Iron. General Gibbon bad a severe en gagement with the Kez Perce Indians, at Big Bole, Montana, on tho 0th Inst He attacked the hostile camp and cap tured It, after a fight lasting all day, In -which Captain Logan, Lieutenants Bradley and Bostwich, seventeen sol dlers and five citizens were killed. The wounded were Gen. Gibbon, Capt. Wil liams, Lieutenants Coolldge, Woodruff and English, (tbo latter seriously), 30 soldiers and 4 citizens. The Indians, who tied at nlgbt, must have suffered terribly, as 40 of their dead were count ed on halt the battle field. Gen. now ord reached the battle field on the 11th, aud was to pursue tho Indians as soon as bis command arrived. General Gib bon was to take his wounded to Fort sShaw as soon as medical aid and trans portation were obtained. There aro intimations of renewed activity in Europe in the way of emi gration to the United States. If those -who contemplate emigration here come with the pnrpose of settling In the agri cultural portions of tho country, wheth er In the Middle or Southern States, in the near East or "far West," and in tend to gala their livings by tilling the soli, they will find ample room for all; but if It be the Idea or intention of any considerable portion of them to stop In the large cities, or try to get work at the mechanical and manufacturing cen tres, or In the iron and coal rcglons.lt -would be good advice for their friends In this country and all others who feel an Interest in their welfaro, to advise tbem that all the last named fields of employment are now overstocked witli labor, and any fresh influx from abroad will bring disappointment and trouble to the now comers and add to tho dlffi cultlcs of those now here. Some fiend In human shape, during the night of last Satuiday or early Sun day morning, tampered with the switch on the Lehigh Valley Railroad Just be low the bridge crossed by the L. & S. R. R., and nearly opposite the Lehlgh- ton Stove Works, leaving It about halt way open, throwing the engine and all the cars bat one of the Buffalo Express from the track, but fortunately without doing any Injury to passengers on the train. Had tee train Jumped tho track to the right Instead of tbe left, the acci dent must have resulted in the most ap palling sacrifice of life and limb, but as it happened, the engineer saw the Im pending dangor and had lime to some what oheck the speed of his engine The scoundrel or scoundrels who, to re venge Imaginary wrongs received from a railway company, will tamper with the snitches aid thereby endanger the lives of passengers and the destruction of property,, should, when caught, be shown no mercy. We are no advocate of capital punishment, but in such a mso we say banging Is by. far too easy a- death for so cowardly a villain be should be bung in chains at the spot where be attempted bis crime, and left there as a warning to those who might feel an inclination to-follow in his foot steps. Hon, Asa Packer, President ot the L. Y. R. R., offers a reward of $500 top information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the parties to this out rage on tbe peopln, nod we earnestly hope the villains will be caught. Tho State C'ommltteo of ttio'.Inilc- pendent Greenbackers of Pennsylvania met Wednesday in, Wllllnmsport, and called a Stato Convention to meet In that city on September 10th. Separato candidates for Andltor General, State Treasurer and Justice of Supremo Court aro to bo nominated. Those who expected the war in the East to cause an immediately increased demand for American breadstuffs, as well as an advance In their prlco, havo thus far been disappointed. England has certainly Imported more wheat atd flour since Russia declared war against Turkey than before, but Russia at tho Eftrao time has Increased Its exports of these samo commodities to England In a wonderful degree. For instauce, the returns of the British Board of Trade show that the importations of wheat from Russia Into England during the month of June lost amounted to $5, 140,000, while during the correspond ing month of 187G their value was only $805,000. Tho London Economist, In discussing theso figures, attributes the comparatively large supplies of wheat received in England from the East "to tho effect of the war In hastening tho despatch of nil available grain from tho disturbed territories, so.no of It comlug by rail through Germany, by way of Marseilles." " That It was the war," the editor of the Economist continues, "and not the recent rise in prices which gave this Impulse to tho consignments of grain from abroad, may be gathered from the fact that the month's imports of wheat from tbo undisturbed coun tries, notably America, are much less Instead of greater, notwithstanding the high prices." Another cause assigned for the increased exports from Russia Is the depreciation of the domestic pa per money In that country. Paper rou bles, which were worth thirty pence each in exchangeable value when tho war broke out, are worth only twenty four pence now a depreciation of 20 per cent. Art Publishing. Few people are aware ot the wonderful progress that Art bas made In this country during the last quarter ot a century. It Is but a a few decades since, those who desired to beautify and ai'orn their homes, were obliged to depend almost entirely on foreign artists. But such a state of af fairs iu this age of progress, and im provement could not last loog, with the great Arcerlcan people. Genius from the East to tho West, from the North to the Gulf ot Mexico on the south, ans wered tbe demand for beauty, taste and refinement, and to day our lending art ists are not surpassed by the leading modern masters of Art In Europe. Great Art publishing establishments bavo sprung up, and by various pro cesses tho finest and most expensive paintings are reproduced In all their ele gance and beauty, and at a price within tho means of tho masses. So that no one need be without the refining Influ ences ot beautttul pictures at home. Among the progressive leading Art Publishing firms of the country we take pleasure in mentioning George Stlnson & Co., ot Portland Maine; they were among the first In the business, and we can only understand the colossal pro portions their trade has assumed by re membering that this is a great and mighty Notion of nearly fifty million people. We cannot better Illustrate the magnltudo of their business than to state tbe amount of money paid by tbem for postage stamps during tbo year 187G; we have tho figures direct from the firm, or we should think there was some mistake. Tbey paid for postago stamps during the year 1870, thirty- three thousand one hundred and four dollars and ninety-two cents ($33, 104.02) and, in connection with this It should bo remembered that only tho small orders were sent by mall, the larger going by express and freight. George Stlnson & Co's., agents are to bo fouud in every Stato in the Union and Dominion ot Canada, and In every county with scarcely an exception. Lone since, tbls enterprising firm rec ognlzod the value of printer's Ink jud!c lously used In advertising, and they In form us that without it tbey could never have extended their business as It Is to day, In three times tbe number ot years A short time since they paid In a single day twenty-tour thousand dollars (f24, 000,00) on a contract for newspaper advertising. They evldentaly long since found the road to success and bare neither turned to the right nor left. Three things are necessary tor eminent success In business. First, standard honest goods that the people generally need and desire let them be tbe best, whatever the lino ot business. Second, let your prices bn reasonvble as low as possible. Third, let the people know what you have, and what you can do, by liberal and persistent adyertlslng,and you will Bud low prtcos. made known and proved, will bring trade that will give a larger Income than can be made in any otter way.

Frsm our Special correspondent. WAeillKOTOV, D. C, AUR. 13, 1977. Into what depths of Iniquity our Re- pnblio must have pi unged in its little ccntury.of life to need such a scathing fire ot reform as we aro now enduring I And bow blind ourexccutlvcs have been heretofore, or how clear-seeing our pro sent one, that our many needs and shortcomings should all at once be sliotvn up so plainly! Verily, this is an age to live In 1 Tbo latest necessity Mr. Carl Schurz has dlsoovered and Is now endeavoring to pcrsnado tho Presi dent and his honorable fellow Cabinet members to adopt, Is a rule that no ed itor or publisher of a newspaper shall be part or parcel of tho political world, 10 noid any oiuco or nonor or trust un der the government. Well spoken, Mr. Carl Schurz I Editors don't object. Their chief end In life is to represent public opinion worthily. To do so they must be free from suspicion of any ntali to appropriate spoils or distribute office ; and if no application for office made by an editor is to bo heeded, the press must ot necessity be above all suspicion ot guile. Horace Grealey's career Is warning enoucu. ur a trutn, too press ot the country should bo as entirely dl- vorccu irom puiuics as is tne army, or as our civil service wi'i oo ir resident Hayes accomplishes his avowed pur poses. Washington society Is not to be found here now. Society houses present a silent, close-shuttered appearance, and we hear or their owners at Saratoga. Newport and Long Branch. Madamo Mantilla, tne Spanish Minister's wife, who is sucn a pet in society here, was bello of tho first Saratoga ball, given last week. 'She is very striking in per sonai appearance, having tbe blackest of hair and eyes, and a pink and white complexion. She was dressed the other evening In whlto silk garnished with wide valencennes lace and wblto satin ribbon. The waist was cut squaro In front and the neck was covered with fine white lace net. Her mitts matched the other laces In pattern, as did her whlto silk stockings, worn under low slippers of white silk. Her ornaments were a triple row ot pearls with an oak leaf of diamonds as a pendant. It Is whispered that Secretary F.varts has been somewhat snubbed recently In relation to Mexican affairs. As he has for years led tho van of the American bar, so, since last March, he has taken the lead In the Cabinet and, In fact, has lead the President himself in all matters of tiote. But it was thought he took General Sherman's business out of that gentleman's hands when ho gave Gen. Ord his orders concerning Mexico, and ns much has been said to him. Evarts has his hands full, still, with Mexicans. Spaniards, Indians, and all. Undoubt edly the army will bo conslderauly In creased as soon as practicable after Congress convenes. It Is a fact that It Is at present insufficient to quell Mexi can disturbances, subdue Indian pro pensities, punish bpanlsu Impertinences, or prevent a strikers' war. Tbo. navy Is in still worse a condition, for, al though we have navy officers and sail or?, we have no available ships ot war. This Is what one of the leading New York papers says regarding it, and very truly : " '1 lie united States Government has not to-day within Its control, either on sea, In process ot construction, or pur chasable from privato par'.les one vessel that would nave the slightest chance ot success in a naval engagement, either on the ntgn seas or in any ot our liar bors, when pitted against an iron-clad, of which there are numbers In tho na vies of England, France, Russia, Italy, Turkey or Gt-rmauy. We have no navy. Who can tell If 5 per cent, of our wooden fleet is fit for active service? But If it was ten times as numerous as It is, and If every vessel was ready for battle, it would not, In tho year 1877, be a navy. Wooden vessels are useful adjuncts to the modern fleet, but iron clads are its Indlspenstble nucleuses. In the last ten or twelve years wonder ful Improvements have been made In naval ordnance and in iron-clads. But our guns are whero our war left them ; and our monitors, Inadequate at btst to cope with the Iron-clad navies ot Eu rope, aro unseawurthy, rusting away In our navy yard." Tho city still swarms with office-seekers. Tbo President's southern policy has brought them here, and they are nearly all from the Southern States. The old class aro worn out with hopes deferred, but thoso now here appear confident and contented. They lead an automatic life, their dally round belns to the White House, to the hotel, to eat and to bed. The hot weather troubles tbem not. Tbey loaf In the shade of awuings mostly, ana are content with cneap living. Martha M. Wiiitnet. Now Advertisements. "10 Whom It May Concern.
