The Usuit-Questioni__.,
Wt: have not adverted-to- the nefarious .
practices of a heartiest comhination';ol
the money coyotes of onr County and
State in a long time for the reason that.,
no means to prevent.theirsavages upon a
defenceless community - was at hand:" BPI
the time has now arrived . when the, peo
ple have the legitimate opportunity to.
protect themselves from their wolfish dep
redations and render them comparatively
harmless, by petitioning to,..the coming
legislature that their blood-reeking fangs
nay be extracted, leaving them only the
power to frighten the' community -with
their harmless bowling. They have piac
tioNl every cunning and 'ravenous trick
of the pilfering coyote, combined with
the baser attributes:ol M.
.human Shy
lock. When financial darkness overtakes
the Weary traveler the howl of theomer
ciless "wolves in sheep's clothing" may
be heard upon his track. True to the in
stincts of the cowardly animal they per
sonate they do hot attack their_ victim
siuglo-hauded and alone, lest ho might
beat them off, but the tvlrole " pack" sur
round him, and to use Ono of their own
familiar teens, they "carry" him until
every morsel of useful flesh is picked
from his bones, and Itsn—we suppose—
they drop him, shediriag, many "crocodile
tows" over his sad fate, and the-financial
ruin that has overtaken him ; and in
their long and hypocritical prayers in the
Sanctuary they ask God to " clothe the
naked and feed the hungry," and with a
pharasaical nod they proclaim that The
ways of Providence ,are mysterious.—
This is no colored pieturo . but may be ea
sily verified. We.haye only to cite the
skeptical to the records of our courtsiund
the long list of Sheriff sales which appear
from time to time in proof of the analo
gy of the simile above set forth. We say
that now is an opportune time to :.more
in this matter. Our State Legislature
meetsahe first Monday in January. nod
the right of petition is left you, and God
helps those who help themselves. We
have assurance from our State Senator
that ho will act upon all Petitions from
the people and do all in his power to have
them granted, and from his pronipt action
as to the repeal of the " Legal Associa
tion" bill, we have no t reason to doubt it,
for party politics does not enter into this
issue any more than it did in that. We
are of the same opinion that we ever
have been that the power of money to
accumulate, which is a thing of no in
trinsic value, but merely, a representative
' medium pf exchange, ii one of the most
corruptio'principles in `human society,
and liege more idleness from which
lows deban hery and crime, than all oth
er causes combined. If this power was
wholly taken from it the hoarding np of
money-bags, a hich men , sell' conscien
ce, body and soul,. to accompAsh, that
they may gratify their lustful!, avaricious
propensities, or live in idleness upon its
usurious accumulation, would be robbed
of its charm, and the substance which
money merely represents would be of more
value than money itself, and industry, the
basis of wealth, would be fostered, and ifs
attendant consequenses, honesty, and,
comparative happiness, would bia engen
4ered. But as the root of the evil is not
Aron tined to our State, we cannot entirely
eradicate it; therefore we dial] be forced- 1
to be content with lopping off some of
the branches which shade our Collamon
wealtla and retard its prosperity. Let us
say to the money Shylocg: and his dam
nable practices, "Thus far shalt thou
come, anti no farther," and surround him
with wholesome restraints, by stringent
legislative -enactments. Circulate your
petition at once, for we venture that
there are not over a hundred men in Sus
quehanna County who will not sign it,
and that very one- hundred are those
whose "teeth need pulling."
Nearly the' same condition exists in
,many other parts of the State and all it
needs is a little energetic concert of ac
tion to rid onr community of the blight
ing grip of • the gaunt class of the
-",curb stone brokers."

Tam is again trouble in New-Orleans
between the opposing wings of the radi
cal party. 0n one side is Judge Duren,
united States Marshal Pacddrd, Senator
Kellogg, and Secretary of State Boree:
On the other Governor Warmouth and
his friends, hangers-on and dependents.
A committee of citizens are now on their
Way from New Orleans to Washington.
for 'the purpose of remonstrating against
the action of Kellogg, Casey, Durell, and
others, who claim to act by the authority
of the general government, but at-the
same time prepared to pledge to the Pres
ident the fealty and support of the people
of New Orleans in all *just measures.—
The fight is a disgraceful one, and as Ca
sey is General Grant's relative, and ie in
the muddle, it is fair to sappose ind will
be extended in that direction'. When Ca
sey used Galling guns to break up a po
litical convention in New Orleans, he
sowed dragon teeth which are now prodn ;

TELE people of Sweeden are making
known their wishes to the new king, Os
car 11, in a very plain and unmistakable
marine/. They-favor a reduction of the
army, and desirethat the money thus sav
ed shall be set aside for the advancement
of science, industry, and the - arts of peace.
It is also demanded that the practice of
giving decoration.s shall be abandoned,
because it has been condeined by public
opinion. The sovereign is asked to re
nounce a surmient portion of the civil
service appropriation to rec Time the annu
al sum to 1,000,000 rix dollars, which it
is claimed itienough for a poor , Country,
with only 4,006,000 inhabitatits to 'pay,
Civil Servicellefoim is also demanded by
the institution of a system of applint- .
ment tht shall confer the offices on ac
' count - a:lf merit, irrespective of birth.—
, These, together with the reduction of ex
lenditurein the way of superfluous Court
appointitents and embassies, are the re
forms which are
- asked by the people of
Sweeden. They will not get all the re
forms stated, but flints reform movement
will be initiated of vast importance to
the future welfare of Sweeden, cannot be
questioned.

Tua Mobile Register of the sth, gives
same 'startling facts in relation to the late
municipal election in that city, by Veit

How thi was done is thus stated by the

A Radical Medley.
[Fans. the Montrose &publiean, Nov.
25th,187 . 2.]
We are glad to be rid of the whole
tribe of dictatorial papers. Both the
149 w YOrk and Chicago Tribunes have
committed. suicide, as did old Judas. - It
mattersinot to us how they pass off the
stage of action. They have ceased to be
of us, at we want no more of them.
When Judas is restored to favor; when
the tories of the Revolution are recalled
from Nova Scotia; when treason shall be
-rewarded and loyalty punished; when
Ulysses S. Grant shall be deposed from
the Presidential chair a id Jeff Davis ele
vated to his place. it willbe time enough
to recall Horace Greeley to the •Brpub

A Terrible Calamity.
TILE ,'l6lamity at the Pith Avenue Ho
tel, New York, was truly heartrending.

night . the fire ;originated on a stairway
leading from theltnding to the sleeping

There was no other means oflescape save
by the 1 windows. Why were • there not
some of the entombed sufferers rescued in
that way? , Have the firemen no ladders
that would reach this portion of the build
ing? They have iii Philadelphia.. They.
have in Boston. The Herald says, "there
was the much anxiety to keep the fact of
the firtt a secret;and too little effort made
to savthe unfortunate, girls." . Another
accon t says ladies were taken to the

and other hotels in the vicinity.' :As soon

Tue proposal to increase the salary of
the l.'resident is very inopportune.
General Grant; it is well known, is not in
indigent circumstances, apart .from his
official compensation. That is the high
est paid to any publ'c servant, and if it
ought to be increased, sdl other salaries,
for stronger reasons, ought to be increas
ed. It will be is signal for a universal de
mand from all 'office-holders for an ad
vance of wages.' ThCy all get enough.—
There is no lack of aspirants to every
place at the present rate of compensation.
We hope the matter will not be pressed
or carried. ,It seems very inopportune fur
a re-elected President to be the recipient
of a huge pecuniary favor from tho men)
tiers of his pirty,in Congress. None of
them will vote against it, none of the par
ty organs will rppose it; nevertheless it
will be a fresh burden upon the people,
and will be followed by a large and gen
eral inciease of the extenses of the gov
ernment, and be another step away from
the Democratic simplicity that has hith
erto been among the best distinctions of
American institutions.
IN referring to the late fire at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York, the Firs Mar
shal of that city, in Isis report says:—'
"Tile loud, piercing screeches of the girls
on the-top floor were distinctly- heard in
the basement. At this time the fire had
made a great headway, but even then the
hotel employe, attention was disect
ed to the great glare laid: Oh, its no-.
thing.' and-again, These girls will scare
the ghosts if they go-on in that way:—
He also slates that 'no pflicient precau
twn had brew taken to guard against loss
of life in the event of'a tire at the hotel,'
and he finds that no efforts were made by
the people in the hotel to rescue the girls.
Ile thinks theauthoriCes wereso concern
ed about the baggage of the guests that
human lives were forgptton. Besides the
workmen were )oukiug after the baggage,
instead of attempting to rescue the en
dangered people. If the statements of
the Marshal are time, if no attempts were
made to save the girls, if the guests were
attended to, while the poor creatures in
the upper part of the building were burn
ing, then somebody should be indicted
t•r is serious offence, and punished to the
eKtent of the-ltiw. People who keep
hotels should be taughtlhat they cannot
roast servant girls to keep their guests
from being scared. Such an ,outrage its
that at the Fah Avenue Hotel should to
treated in a serious manner, and not be
suffered to pass over as a nine days' won
der.

lord of too great an intimacy with the

her head with a shawl and waited in the
kitchen forl he confirmation of her. sus

NEw Ironic, December 3
The Democratic National Convention
did, in July, 1871, with a nuanintit OD
precedented in, the history of the parry,
nominate as their Candidate for the o fnce,
of President of the United States, Hor
ace Greeley,. of New York. Six States
cast their electoral votes for bins at the
late election, mid millions of men in the
other states, where' we failed of success,
testified their appreciation of Isis noble
character, and the great service he had
rendered the country by voting our eke
tend ticket. But Horace Greeley is dead
and the splentkr of -the political victory
achieved by his opponents is now dimin
ished by the sorrow which this sad event
has cast upon the people whom he -loved,
and who-regarded him as one of the-best,
truest and bravest of men. The lessons
of his pare and blameless life will • long
remain =pressed upon:the age in which
he lived.- Every beat of his great heart
was in sympathy with humanity in its
broadest term. 'Beloved the government.-
he loved his fellow men, and the labors of
his whole life were to el,evatts the condi
tion of Mankind. No Otrugg,le For liber
ty, civil or religion is ever made on the
surface of the earth 'since his reninhood
began, with - which he did not nif,etio . n-
:Arty syinpathiiy, and to which, he fisikje
