HARD PI7BIIED.
We think the Montrose Republican
is hard pushed for timber to raise an op
position flame against General M'Cand
less, when it attempts s slur upon his
military career by clipping the following
from a Radical exchange :
The Carlisle Herald says in reference
to the Democratic nominee for Auditor-
General: " Col. M'Candless, who leads
the ticket, when offered the position of a
brigadier general, refused, on the ground
that his self-respect would not allow him
to countenance the measures of the Re
publican administration by accepting
promotion from it.; and, declaring that
the post of honor was that of a private
citizen, he withdrew from the field at a
time when soldiers were sorely needed?'
The time which General M'Candless
withdrew from the service, was in May
186.1,aft(r the battle of the Wilderness in
whiCk he was severely wounded in the
arm, and he returned to his home in
Philadelphia. Assuming him to have
made the above statement it furnishes
the strongest proof of his parity of char
acter and devotion to true Democratic
principles, not to desert them like the
Grants and the Gearys, for position and
power, and is still further proof of his
fitness for the responsible position for
which he is nominated. It shows con
ch:silly that honesty is his policy. Such
are the men needed at our State Capital.
This shows the tactics of Radicalism
.which has no other defence than to at
tempt -to cast a slur upon the fair fame
of a true soldier because he will not wor
ship the Radical Baal. •
"The Tide is Turning."
It is amusing, and clearly shows the
hollowness and hypocrisy of their defence,
to see the Radical press flee to Jeff. Davis
and Vallandingham for support in their
sinking condition. Both of these men
are living monuments of Radical clemency.
It verily looks as though there had been
an understanding between Horace Greeley,
the Radical party, and Jeff. Davis, that in
consideration of Cireley's going his bail,
Jeff should now rally to the rescue, the
Ku Kinx outrages and all other supports
hiving Jefferson tlttviii ‘wsn"
STROCidtatac senator, and as such com
manded the respect not only of the Dem
ocratic party, but also of his opponents,
bat President Davis of the C. S. A. had
no affilliation with the Democratic party.
Ile stands to day as 4x-President Davis!
the protege of Horace 'Greeley, and it
seems a wonderful stretch of imagination
to" count him among the leaders of Demo
cracy. It is not unreasonable to suppose
that this whole scheme of starting out
Horace GreelY and Jeff. Davis, two sym
pathizing friends, upon a Southern tour
is but another deep laid plot of the domi
nent party to save their waning fortunes.
Past:experience shows-that for "ways that
are dark and tricks that, are mean," the
Radical party is not excelled.

Until about twenty years ago says an
exchange, the weightof professional opin
ion was in, favor of the hroait gauge , for
Millivolt, and it wan thought that thfilkn
110teitaust be notiintflobrul44ewllines,.
with widerigauges . thiming thebin
to chniige old ones to a cofiltspaindinginins 2
tire. Gradually this belief, has been mod
ified, and, partly as a result of experiment
and partly of closer scientific research,
an opinion almost exactly opposite has
gained gronnd.._, Where:o4llNß
generally supposed., that:ta gunge wider
than four feet eight-and a half inches
would be found expedient, much nariow
er dimensions have now been adopted, and
it is even believed by some that a gauge
of Ku than half that width will ultimate
ly prove to be the most judicious and
economical.
It is not generally known that roads of
extremely narrow gauge have been in use
during the past few years, and: have thus
supplied the practical data forjudging the
utility of their general introduction.
Among the Welsh mountains there is a
line of railway, the gauge of which is but
one foot, eleven and shalt inches. It runs
from the slate quarries in the Festiniog
Valley to Port Madoc, on Cardigan Bay.
The rail used weigh bat ten pounds to the
running foot, and the engines weigh seven
tons. The passenger-4'gs are ten feet
long, five feet wide, and Barry twelve pas
sengers. The freight-cars carry three tons
each. Trains over one thousand feet long
are run on this little road at a speed of
twenty miles an hour, although there are
curves of radii under 135 feet, and grades
of 70 feet to the mile. It is declared that
the experiment has proved a success in
every sense. In one year the freight has
amounted to 138,132 tons, an overage of
9,388 tons to the mile; and the passen
ger business—although the road is apt
strictly a passenger line—to 8,807 passen
gers per mile. The traffic is more than
twice that of the Connecticut River Road
—a closely managed interior line—and
the passenger carriage more than,ihat of
the busy Worcester and Nashua Railroad
in 1870.
In the Broilthal, joining the Cologne
and Giessen road, there is another arrow
gauge line, the prosperity of which is
teaching a similar lesson. Its gauge is
two feet seven inches, it has curves of 114
feet radius, and also 70 feet of rise to the
mile. The weight of the rails average
eight pounds to the foot: The engines
weigh twelve and a half tons, and haul
thirty six cars, each loaded with five tons.
About 84,500 covers the cost of the loco
motives, and 8500 that of the cant The
cost of the line per mile, including roll
ing stock, is set down at $B,OOO. There
are lines of road in construction or in use
in the mining districts of Pennsylvania of
slightly narrower gauge than this—that
is to say, of two feet six inches—On which
engines of less than eight tons arc used,
qzncly run twenty guletfiri
hour, on grades and curves that 'l24:imb;::
ago would have been pronOnnized imprac
, ticable. The Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad, which is meant to run along the
plateau of the Rocky Mountains from
Denver to El Paso, a distance of 850.
miles, is to have a gauge of two feet nine
inches, and it is probable that other
transverse roads, cutting the great Pacific
lines that ran east and west, will also be
constructed in a corresponding scale.
The extent to which the narrow gauge
has gained the good opinion of scientific
men, is indicated by a 404. sweetly
made by a committee, appointed by the
British Secretary of State:ror rndia, to
consider the feasibility of a narrow gauge
for the extension of Indus Valley &Broad,
and also for other projected Indian lines,.
amounting in their aggregate to ten thous
and miles. The majority of the Commit
tee report, for the great bulk of the pro-
posed lines, in favor of a gauge two feet
nine inches. They recommend for this
: uge a rail of thirty-six pounds to the
yards, twelve ton engines, passenger-cars
eighteen feet six. inches long by six Wide,
limited to the carnage of threeand one
half tons weight, while the merchandise
cars should be made to carry five tons.
The main arguments in favor of the nar
row gauge are that the first cost, per mile,
will not exceed one-half that of the wide
gauge, and that running expenses And
wear and tear must preserve between .the
two gauges nearly the same relations. It
is asserted that, just as a poney will pull
more and eat less in proportion to his
weight than a horse, so the snialler,,atid
lighter engines of the ZULTTOW gunge will
be relatively cheaper and more petits
ble.
The great objection to the Barlow gauge
is that of the coat and diflienitrof trati
shiiiinent. Bolling stock eafitiot •be in

Onnectiotririth the party in . the Buckeye
-Stifite, , .,and iii the:,' SUtional Democratic
Coirve'itionii of late Yearwhis invariably
headed the Ohio delegation. He was born
in East Ohio, and educated at Steuben
ville, where he distinguished himself
among his fellow students. Admitted to
Abwinitat nurearty-age, herapeeditygained ,
consideration as al lawyer, but he was
called from practice by the breaking out
of the Mexican war. McCook went to
Mexico as a subaltern, and came back as
,Lieutenant Colonel• of his regiment. He
=did himself with distinction during
the war, as also did his three brothers, one
of whom, General Robert McCook, was
killed in the late civil war. The young
soldier resumed hie profession in Jefferson
county, Ohio, and a-few . years later was
appointed Attorney General for the State.
This, we believe. is the only office he has
held. He is one of the ablest lawyers in
the West, and a powerful stump speaker;
and with the exception perhaps of Mr.
Pendleton is the most popular of the
Democratic statesmen of Ohio.
Decent 'Philadelphia Republicans in
ItievolL
The Philadelphia &cuing Telegraph is
getting ivstive under the .reign of the
Manna and Bnnns of Philadelphia and
proclaims the very sensible doctrine, that
it is far better for Republicans to vote for
honest Democratic candidates for the city
offices, than for Republican candidates
who they well know will maladminister
the affairs of the city to the great ininry
of its citizens:
"While the Democrats have held tbeir
hounds in lashes and compelled the vile
elements of their_party to remain in en
faced retirement, ,the ,Reppblicans are
from present indications, more likely to
select the bulk of their ticket from a class
of postively„frad, indifferent, or inferior
aspirants than from the hosts of talented,
honest, good and true men belonging to
their organization. If these fears are re
alized, the Registry law, and all the false
counting that dishonest return judges can
do,
will not Ewe an ignominious Repub
lican ticket from deserved defeat. Thous
ands of the rank and file of the Republi
can party, and of its most exemplary
members, are rife for revolt. They are
tired of voting for local candidates whose
tainted reputations are the sore precursors
of iniquities in office, and the doctrine is
growing every day more popular that it is
indefinitely better to vote for an honest,
exemplary, faithful, and talented Demo
crat for a local office, not involving parti
san principles in the discharge of its du
ties, than foritcorrtipt, disgraced, igno
rant, or disreputable Republican. Ludlow

Growth of the South.
`'The confidence which investors are
manifesting in' rtiilway securities in the
sonth shows that prosperity has at last set
toward one of the most productive por
tions of our land.
The gnarau tee of the state of Alabama,
whose credit is of the very , highest order,
is readily given to strengthen the bonds of
her projected railways. This is likewise
true of many other southern states.
Among them all the Selma and Gulf
railroad stands pre-eminent.
t tans from Selina to 'Pensacola, the
fiiirmer a railway centre in the richest ag
ricultural district in Alabama, and the
latter the very best, and in fact the only
harbor of any value on the gulf.
Chicago is directly . north of Pensacola,
much nearer than it is to New York. This
tells the whole story of the value of this
line. ChicagG, Nashville, Selma and Pen- I
sacola are in one line, and the completion I
of the link from Selma to Pensacola leavee,l
buta'sznaJl portion of an air line from the
best harbor in the gulf to Chicago yet to
complete. This road has also control of
the through traffic for New York, and all
coast cities southward to New Orleans.
It completes with the Mississippi river for
all the trade of the valley of the Mississip
pi. Cotton is still king. It is estimated
that of 2,000,000 bales of cotton raised
within reach of this road over one-half
must go over this road. What this item

Women's Mains.
There is a strong and apparently set
tled determination on the part of the ad
vocates of the so-called cause of wmoan's
rights to destroy with their own bands
the system they profess to create and fos
ter. A strong ease in point comes to us
from San Francisco, where the champions
of woman's right to the ballot are osten
tatiously profuse of their sympathy for
Laura D. Fair, a woman convicted of
murdering, in cold blood, and with mal
ice prepense, a citizen of that place, many
years her senior and the father of a %mi.
ly. The antecedents of this condemned
murderess are of the worst possible de
striptiim, she has done murder before,
was notorious as an unprincipled adven
turess, and was in every way a person to
be shunned by all good women, and yet
the self-appointed elevators of the sex are
making a my rtar of this bold, bad woman.
If females have an inherent right to shoot
down, in cold blood, the husbands and
I fathers of others, and if this is what the
I California friends of the woman move
ment are trying to establisb, then the
sooner the "woman's rights" agitation
coined to an end the -better for Christian
civilization. Mrs. Fair's sympathizer are
certainly doing their utmost to raise up
hosts of enemies for the proposed reform.

THE BIGHT OF VirrrNESSES.—The su
preme court of Massachusetts has recent
ly decided that a law of the state which
undertook to secure witnesses against cer
tain prosecutions founded on their an
swers in examinations before legislative
committees was ineffectual to protect such
witnesses from the liability to prosecution
resulting indirectly from such admissions.
Under these circumstances it was held
that a witness could not be compelled to

less he was absolutely released from all
liability to prosecution, either on his own
testimony or the testimony of others. A
witness who bad been committed by the
legislature for refusing to answer was
therefore discharged _by the court, all the
judges holding that the legislature could
not by any formal enactment compel a
person to testify before oneof its commit
tees without fully securing him from all
liabifity to prosecution thereafter.

—There is in the cemetery of New

" My IM. Wife," while the central stone
bears the brief but eloquent expression,
"Our Husband."

A Good Law.
The State Senate has passed an act authoriz-
ing the election of Assessors for a term of three
years. The first election under the law to be
held this fail, so as to make the triennial assess
ment the last year of the term.
Teacher" Rights.
The question Of Suspending a pupil, has
caused considerable discussion among teachers
In this State, some insisting that the teacher has
no right to suspend a pupil. Henry Houch,
Esq., Deputy Superintendent of Common
Schools, in answer to a letter from one of the
teachers says : "A teacher has the right to
suspend a pupil from school, but such suspension
must be for cause, and is to be reported to the
Board at once, with all the facts in the case."
Dangers.of Unripe Fruit.
Parents cannot be too careful about allowing
their children to eat unripe fruit, which will
soon be plenty, and which is so tempting to the
little ones. And. it is particularly dangerous
after eating green trash to drink heartily of
water. Children are ail alike in this respect,
and it behooves parents and these who have
charge of them to exercise a great deal of firm
ness and judgment in regard to what the chil
dren eat during hot weather. Physicians say
much siekness prevalent among children is
caused by this lack of judgment or care on the
part of parents and guardians.
Fifteenth Amendment Celebration.
The Fifteenth Amendment celebration came
off on Thursday last, and the previously an
; nouneed programme was duly carried out. The
procession marched through the principle streets
with banners flying in the breezes, headed by
the Binghamton colored Band, after which
they repaired to the Fair Ground where speeches
and music were in order. The whole proceed
ings of the day were quiet and in very good
; oroer. Not as many of our Radical brethren
participated as did last year, whether from thier
own disinclination hr from the rejection of their
suit by their colored brethren, we ore not in
lormed. We certainly hope their faith is not
getting lukewarm su soon.

Death from Kerosene.
A woman named Mrs. Christian Buck, resid

by kerosene on Wednesday of last week In the
following manner: She had placed kindling
wood in her cook stove, and in order to increase
its combustible qualities, had poured cm a quanti

She was immediately enveloped in flames, and

We published not long since, a schedule of
weights and measures, taken from the German
town " Yelegraih," claimed to have been recent-
Ty fixed hy the Legislature, and it being consid
ered good authority, efe did not question its cor
rectness, Gur attention having since been called
to it , we find that ties revised statutes of 1871,
gives thizweight of- oats at 30 wands, instead of
82 as was then stated, which must be the best
authority, as the revision was completed but a
short time since. We border so closely upon
New York and deal illinciPatlY with the e :New
York market, and their weights and measures

get theta confounded. The tollosqng is a table
of the standard weights 'pet , revised statutes
of 1871:

Suicide.
.Tbe Binghamton Republican of the Ist inst.,
says: Yesterday afternoon a young lady by
the name of Lucy Severson, aged about eigh
teen or twenty years, residing on the 'old . State
Road, about eight miles from this city, com
mitted suicide by bangles herAelf , halhe woods.
From what we can learn, about three o'clock
she left her father's (John t3eversot) house, and
said she was going into the woods to pick whit
erg-,reens, which are known to abound in that
vicinity, and it becoming advanced in the day,
some alarm was felt by the family at her not re
turning, and search was made for her, resulting
in finding her dangling from a tree, dead
From indications (t would seem that she had
immediately went to this tree, and climbing the
same attached a common rope to the limb, the
other end to her neck, and with a single spring
from her perch, launched herself into eternity !
Tipsy Songsters.
Good temperance, people will be eebocked to
learn what a sot—no milder term can be used
—the mockingbird makes'of blurs elf in Florida.
His special weakness is the berry of the Pride
of China trea, upon the juice of which he be
comes as drunk as It lord A flock of tipsy
mockingbirds is a vary funny sight. - They fly
around in the most comical manner, bic•tougb
ing and stagtrering like real men, mixing up all
sorts of bacchanalian songs, and interrupting
each other in the most impudent manner, not
at all like well-behaved birds. it l e'ven` said
that they will fly out promiscuously, intrude on
domestic relations, forget the way home, and
get Into each other's nests analtamilies, just like
the lords of creation. It is not improbable that
also, like the lords of creation, they become very
penitent alter the season is gone and the yearly
frolic is over, and that they make many good
resolutions, join the temperance society, and
keep sober till the next season conies around,
and the berries arc ripe once more. As they
are "mocking-birds," it is not out of the way to
suppose that they are only insitatiniMen.
A Remedy for Currant Warms.
At a late horticultural exhibition tad in
Rochester, N . Y., several gentlemen stated that
the currant worm would not disturb intshes un
der which coal ashes were liberally sprinkled.
In confirmation of this a correspondent of the
Erpreas of that city says: "To • prevent the
current bushes, persons have only to mulch
thoroughly all the ground under the bushes with
anthracite coal ashes. This should be done late
in the autumn or early in the spring of the
year, before the ba-hes Icave out, as the worm
that feeds on the leaves 'Mier its growth drops
off' and goes into the earth immediately under
the bushes. The grub, when it comes up
to clmnge into a ily, cannot make its
way through this course, sharp,
.gritty
ash heap, and perishes there. Thus my
busbeS are unmolested by the fly or slug this
year, while lastiyear they were almost:'
stripped of dicer leaves by Mutts. -. An cosy and
cheap *wetly, surely."
