T T ntil lately we could not understand J
how the copperheads intended to fulfil ,
their predictions that in two years negro j
suflVauC would be a fixed fact, but light is j
breaking, day is dawning, as we now per- j
oeive that they are preparing the democ- !
racy for a grand cliange on the nigger j
question, BV which that party is to "turn
about, wheel about, and do just so," in
Jim Crow style, in order that Sambo's
vote may be secured. Democratic candi
date-- Lor office can therefore govern them
selves accordingly, as there IS no doubt in
a few years it will be fashionable demo
cratically TO visit bouses of "colored gen
tlemen," — the nigger will he dropped—
to solicit their votes, and perhaps even
ki<- the baby. The Chicago Times, the
leading organ of patent democracy in the J
northwest, thus takes time by the fore- j
lock in this matter, and of course theles- !
ser lights will follow. Here is what it !
says :
"The present is a crisis in the Demo- !
eratie party which has no precedent in its
history, as it is a crisis in the progress of
the country, which is also without prece
dent. Never before has the Democratic
party encountered events so seriously af
ter! in g IU future vitality AS now. "Not J
th J it beholds itself diminished in the j
magnitude of its numbers—for it is nu- j
'Uerie.dly stronger than it has ever been j
before -but that, having been beaten on a !
rr it national issue, aato which it believed i
IT-. !I TO he wholly right and the opposi- !
tion wholly wrong, AND still so believes, !
it MU-R nevertheless abandon that issue — '
for the decision of it is final — and either I
sit down in helpless and decaving inne- j
tivity, or strike boldly out upon a noV
line, selected with jieeuliar reference, not j
to things as we would have them, but to |
things AS they actually ar*', and in pursu- |
ing which line it shall eease to be a bold- I
back OR 'conservative' party, and become, j
what it was in its palmy days, a progres
sive ami ail aggressive party. These are
the alternatives."
"It will not sit down ip helpless and de
caying inactivity."
"\\ hat, then, shall the new litie be? — i
In the first place, must we not cut loose j
from tlm administration of Andrew John- j
son, and leave that hybrid concern to float ;
on tlie sea of public eonitempt into which I
it some time since entered, and from !
which no power can rescue it?"
'AN bat next? T'an the Democratic par- '
tv succeed until tiie negro question shall j
be gotten out of the way? It cannot. — i
NVliiif next? Is not negro suffrage iuevi- !
taiile, and is not the quickest way to get j
the negro question out of the way to at I
ortec COMA le the suffrage, making issue j
only on the degree to which it shall be !
conceded? \VE know that many Demo- i
ci ITS have not reacecd tills ad vaneed view \
ot the CASE, and that such still feel greatlv j
inclined to revolt at the proposition of !
negro suffrage in any degree, hut let us \
tell T ncm that it is always wise to accept j
the inevitable when theinevitablecoines.
NEGRO suffrage, we say, is inevitable, and J
whether it shall be qifalified or universal !
depends upon the promptness or other- !
VISE with which the Democratic partv !
shall move with reference to it. Tlie I
South will speedily yield ' qualified !
negro suffrage u}>n the motion of the '
Democratic party: because, if fornoother
reason, she will soon see, if she does not
already see. that if she do not yield it, she
will ultimately be compelled to accept
universal negro suffrage."
"It will LIE u/\on these questions that
the Democratic party will triumph, and 1
it will he by this triumph that constitu- I
tional government and our federal system ■
will be preserved."
Irulv the self-styled democracy is be
coming a party of expedients, ready, like
drowning men. to catch at straws. With- ;
in the past liye years it tried rebellion in '•
the South and found it would not do; it J
then tried copperlieadism in the North,
and found that would not do; next it tried '
Joh nsonism and failed, and is now taking
soundings for the "nigger!"
A N) KONO 11>KA.— It frequently occurs
in conducting a paper tiiat editors are
waited and requested to suppress
facts or ruuuors on account of the relatives

WHERE anything HAS become a matter of
public notoriety THROUGH daily papers, we
believe the publication of such articles
has a better tendency IT HUPPRETA than to
FEED public curiosity. IU proof of this, we

The following article from the Sunbnry
American shows the importance attached
to the construe*ion of this road by the
coal interest, ami wjll afford an additional
incentive to subscriptions here, where the
road ought to he commenced as soon as
practicable and put into operation east
ward as far as possible. Tf, In the mean
time. Treverton, Selinsgrove, Sunbury,or
Northumberland, can present sufficient
inducements to make either the terminus,
the sooner it is done the better :
The Chief Engineer, Col. F. C. Arms,
has .just completed the preliminary sur
veys for this road to Northumberland,
Sua bury, and the Treverton Bridge.
Are our jieople aware of the vast impor
tance of this work to this section, and of
the necessity of making some effort to se
cure the eastern terminus at this place,
which, it is understood, can be accom
plished by liberal subscriptions to the
stock?
The distance from Eewistown to Sun
bury will not exceed 47 miles, connecting
the Pennsylvania and Mifflin and Center
Rail Roads with four Roads at this place,
viz: the Northern Central, Philadelphia
& Erie, Shamokin Valley, and (virtually)
the Lackawana Bloomsburg. It will
also connect the absolutely inexhaustible
beds of the most valuable iron ores in the
world, adjacent to its western terminus
and the entire line, with the equally in
exhaustible Anthracite Coal fields east of
the Susquehanna.
The more valuable of these ores can only
be profitably reduced by the use of An
thracite coal—and recent results have
established the important and invaluable
fact that the Anthracite Blast will pro
duce the very best quality of Iron for any
purpose.
Coal will also he required, besides that
for manufaeturingand domestic purposes,
for burning lime for fertilizing 175.000
acres of land along the line of the road.
A careful collection of statistics and es
timates from persons of reliable judgment
ami experience in the Iron and Coal inte
rests of the State, leaves no doubt of the
fact, thai the road, within a very few
ye <rs after its completion, will transport
200.000 tons of coal per annum.
This amount of transportation alone
will involve a net profit which will more
than euual the interest upon the entire
cost of the road. But the road will have,
in addition, heavy return freights of ore
for eastern furnaces, the immense agricul
tural products of the rich rallies drained,
to supply the non-producing coal regions,
a heavy passenger traffle, fce., <fee.
Tt will be a paying investment. Will
not those interested in the prosperity of
the Borough ofSunburv, the coal region,
and this whole section of country, take
some interest in the matter arid subscribe
liberally in aid of the undertaking?—

The Educational Dcpartincnf.
We have for several years devoted con
siderable space, in fact almost yielded
control of it, for the benefit of the teach
ers of this county, who of all others
would be supposed to take most interest
in the advancement and continuance of a
matter certainly more important to them
than to us. We find however that, be
yond a few, it is a subject of no apparent
concern to the teachers as a lwxly. They,
witlmut question, have been benefited
pecuniarily bv it, for it must be evident
to the most obtuse intellect among them
that when they have had the opportunity
of presenting claims to an increased com
pensation, reduction of school terms, and
other private interests, to the readers
of the Gazette throughout the county,
the probabilities are they owed some
thing to its influence. They may not he
aware that it costs m money to put edu
cational articles into type, probably forty
or fifty dollars a year; they may not know
that the space thus occupied could readily
he used so as to realize from SSO to SIOO a
year in advertising— yet these are facts
which it is time they should know. Al
though subscriptions to the Gazette are of
little account, the profit on them being
next to nothing, it would look as if the
class we speak of felt interested in an
Educational Column, were their names
generally to he found on our books, and
it would also look tis if the advice given
and suggestions made were read. But
what are the facts? In the principal
district, with its dozen teachers, how
many arc subscribers? One directly, and
three or four reside where the Gazette is
takeli. In some others, the proportion is
greater, hut far from general. In times
like the present, when it costs us three
dollars where it formerly did one in pub
lishing our paper, we cannot afford to be
so philanthropic towards a class, three
fourths of whom apparently care little or
nothing whether such a column is pub
lished or not. We have therefore conclu
ded, at the close of this month, todiscon
tinue the Educational Column JIS a regu
lar publication, and make it subject to
our convenience or want of matter.
&zi?" It is rumored that a " convention"
of railroad conductors lias been in session
at Harrisburg.
B&,The most significant fact the late
elections present is that the republican :
majority is greater than the whole vote of j
all the late rebel States.
frro"' An exchange proposes hereafter to i
elect postmasters, 'f tiis would but add to
the ferment into which people get twice
a year now, and would won become a
corrupt practice. We have too many
elections now by one-half—too much leg
islation, and not half enough justice.
Solomon Books, who was crippled !
some years ago by a railroad accident, has
been removed as mail agent on the Pa. R.
Road and a (copperhead appointed in his
place. Front the heartless proscription
daily manifested, and which seems to be
increasing, it is evident that some reforms
are necessary in tJte appointing powers
by which the tenure of office will at least
become secure for one term, with good
behavior.

The Selinsgrove Times narrates the fol
i lowing desperate affray :
A serious and almost fatal affray oc
| eurred near Freeburg a week ago. Mr.
Dott, an Agent of Cyrus Brown's at Mil
ton. passed through Selinsgrove on his
i way to Fremont last Thursday. Within
a siiort distance of Freeburg lie overtook
a vehicle going the same direction, in
which were three men from Freeburg
viz: Mr. Kmeriek. Charles Miller amfu
Mr. Charles. It being then already eight
o'clock at night, and still havingsix miles
j to go, Mr. Dott undertook to drive ahead,
i This Kmeriek would not allow, but would
drive in front of him and thus prevent
j him from passing. Dott then fired a pis
! tol, which, he said, as was afterwardsdis
i covered, he fired into the ground for the
purpose of frightening his horse so as to
i run suddenly ahead. Miller and Emer
j ick immediately leaped from their vehicle,
I seized Mr. Dott's horse, and demanded
! what lie fired his pistol for. Emerick,
| we believe approached the buggy, when
j Mr. Dott shot him in the eheek.'t'he ball
j passing back in the bone to near the ear.
;He fell and was helpless. Mr. Miller
| then seized Mr. Dott and drew liini from
the buggy, Dott in the meantime shooting
I Miller between the eyes above the nose,
! the ball passing obliquely through the
e.ve brow and nose and passing out towards
the cheek. A hand to hand fight then
enued, in which Dott was somewhat
hurt, being the weaker of the two men.
He finally cried murder, when M r.Charles,
who all this time had been sitting in the
wagon, went back to see what was being
done, and parted them, some five or six
other men at the same time coming up
and assisting him. The parties were all
taken to Freeburg, a warrant was issued,
and Dott was arrested and sent to jail at
Middleburg. He has since been released,
on bail we believe. Miller's wound was
not serious, but that of Emerick's was a
severe one v He will recover.

.4 Youny Lady Instantly Kilh it. —A terri
ble accident happened at Springtown Ho
telon last Wednesday morning. A daugh
ter of Mr. J. M. Ainian, was shot and in
stantly killed by the accidental discharge
of an old gun. while in the hands of a
drover named Frederick Frank, who had
been stopping there over night. It ap
jwars tlmt several jtersons from our Bor
ough, Messrs. J. Heister Jones,
McCoy and George Freuinl, who were
going on a hunting excursion, stopped
there. Whilst there, the old gun was
gotten out from a closet and handled by
Mr. Frank. It was then laid upon the
bar, and the sportsmen left. They had
scarcely gotten a hundred yards from the
house, when they heard the report of the
gun, and hastening back to the house,
the> found Miss Annie lying upon the
floor, killed by the discharge of the gun.
It appears that whilst the drover was
hand ling the gun, she was passing through
the room, and as she was so doing the gun
went off, and the load passing into her
head just below the right eye, killed her
almost instantly. It is stated, the drover
became almost frantic, starting oil" down
the turnpike at full speed and giving the
alarm at a neighbor's house. Joseph C.
Beyer, esq., Coroner, held an Inquest,
and the jury returned a verdict that An
nie Ainian came to her death by an acci
dent from a gun, while in the bauds of
Frederick Frank. The funeral of the
unfortunate young lady, who is about
sixteen years of age, took place on Satur
day last, attended by a very large number
of people.— Danville Inte/lif/encer.
One More I'ni'ortunate-—1 Sad
Tale ol'SediH-lion and Deatli.
At the Red Lion Hotel, yesterday after-1
w>on,*the dread curtain of death dropped I
upon the career of one whose prospects,
one short year ago, were bright for a long
1 ife of happiness. To spare the feelings of
bereaved relatives, upon whom this terri
ble blow will fall with crushing effect, we
suppress names of persons and places,
only giving such as are necessary to make
the account intelligible.
Early lust spring, a young lady of wealth
and refinement, occupying the highest
social position, and endowed by nature
with great intellect and beauty* left her
happy home to visit an intimate lady
friend in Philadelphia. While there she
was introduced to the brother of this lady,
a young gentleman of prepossessing ap
pearance, occupying a position as clerk in
a prominent house in the city. The ac
quaintance shortly ripened into intimacy,
and intimacy into crime. .Shortly after
wards she returned to her friends*and in
May last started to visit a relative, com
ing to this city en route. While here she
was taken suddenly ill, and applying to a
prominent physician and former acquain
tance was shocked to learn that she was
encicntc. Her intended visit was at once
given up, and she determined to remain
absent from her friends until the crisis
was past. Securing rooms at a first class
hotel she endeavored to live in as much
retirement as possible. Wearying of this '
life at length, she went to Cleveland, stop- j
ping at the American House, and thence !
to Detroit, but. finally returned to Pitts- j
burg about four weeks si nee, and through I
the mediation of friends obtained adinis- j
sion to the Red Lion Hotel, where she i
received the kindest attention to the last. I
.Soon after her return she deposited with j
a prominent broker on Fifth street, $275, !
retaining a sufficient sum to meet current !
expenses. This money was deposited in !
the-name of Mrs. Nora P. Wallace, the !
name which she assumed upon her re- !
turn. Uleauwhile she kept up frequent
correspondence with her friends at home,
representing all the while that she was
teaching music in Cleveland, and to com
plete the deception had her letters mailed j
and received at that place. By this means :
her relatives were kept in constant igno- |
ram*: of her condition, and the first inti
mation of it received will be the sad news
of her death.
On Wednesday .evening last she was
suddenly seized with puerperal convul
sions, and after lingering in terrible ago- I
riy until three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
death ended her sufferings and remorse. !
Kind friends who had known her in
brighter days attended her, and tjie lest
medical skill of the city was brought into j
requisition, but to no avail. The Coro- i
nor was informed of her death, hut an in- !
vestigation convinced him that an inquest
was unealled for. The remains of the un
fortunate woman were to-day forwarded
to her friends.
Thus closes the tragedy of a young life,

The beautiful P;an > Forte* of Gbovestcek t Co. are
doomed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thule of
instruments of the kind-
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement .au ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country aud Europe. and received the reward of mer
it. over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto '-Excelsior." novl4-ly
