in the State :
The State Committees of both parties,
are desirous to have early and correct re
tinas of the election. As the Chairmen of
both organizations, we suggest that in re
porting the votes, the comparison of losses
and gains be made in every ease with the
Auditor General's vote of 1862.

THE PUNCH EXPOSITION OF 1867.
A large and handsome pamphlet, pub
lished in Washington as a portion Of the
diplomatic correspondence of the year, is
entirely devoted to the subject of the pro
posed universal expOsition to be opened in
Paris on April Ist, 1867. The reason for
this special publication and for. its distribu
tion is found in the opening letter from Mr.
Braman-, the minister at Paris, to Secre
tary SEwArtn. He states that by the regu
lations of the "exposition" a detailed plan
of the articles to be exhibited, and their
distribution in the space allotted to the
several nations, must be presented to the
Imperial Commissioners before the 31st of
January, 1866. So early a date having
been fixed upon, it is hardly to be presumed
that Congress can take any action upon it,
and to await such action before organizing
the American department of the exposi
tion would be equivalent to abandoning all
profitable participation in it As all cona
munication with the Imperial Commis
sioners must be held through commissioners
of the respective countries, Mr. M. N.
Bscxwonum, of the United States legation,
'Paris, has been empowered to act as special
Commissioner. Mr. BIGELOW further ex
plains that as the subject was not brought
before the attention of the Government of
the United States until after the ad
journment of Congress, which would
not meet again until December, 1865, he
could not give the Commissioner gene
ral the required assurance that Nye would
be able to fUrnish the space apportioned to
us, as much would depend upon the appro
priations for the purpose, but that in lieu
of any such governmental action he pre
sented to the Commissioner a despatch
from Mr. SEWARD, expressing the interest
of our government in the exposition, and
also directing his attention to the important
changes in our domestic affairs, adding the
assurance that the people of the United
States would make good use of the allotted
space. On account of this inability upon
the partof Mr. Bramow to make more -de
finite assurances, the Imperial Commission
felt compelled to reduce the portion reserved
to the United States, for fear of causing a
gap or unsightly unoccupied space in their'
most exact and systeniatically.arranged
plan. The space still remaining for our
use is about nine times as great as that Oc
cupied in 1855, yet the reduction is to be
regretted, for if a fair opportunity and suffi
cient time for preparation were allowed to
our people it would, undoubtedly, be more
difficult to limit the contributions to the
larger space, than to fill it creditably.
The building will be erected on the
Champs de Mars, and will be in the form of
a broad ellipse, surrounding a garden, and.
in turn encircled by a park, intended to re
ceive live animals and plants, and also such
buildings and objects as cannot be placed
within the main building. The exhibition
palace will be traversed by circular avenues
yenning parallel with the walls, and the
avenues will be crossed by passages radiating
from the centre to the:circumference of the
building. The apportionments to the na
tionalities running in belts along the radii,
so that the visitor following the passages
be in the rme of nationalities, while the
avenues conduct him along the line of
groups, of which there are ten ; and o
classifications, of which there are ninety..
five.
A large map or plan is contained in the
pamphlet, giving an admirable view of the
proposed arrangements, with the spaces
allotted to the several countries marked dis
tinctly in different colors, with the several
areas belonging to each in square metres.
The apportionment of the building is as
follows, the English equivalents given being
an approximation sufficiently close for a
general understanding of the whole, with

THE LOAD BISHOP OF MONTREAL
At the Opening of the Episcopal Conven
tion, in this city, on Wednesday, the ser
mon should have been preached by Bishop
WEITTINGHAX, of Maryland, as senior pre
late, but feeling himself unequal, from recent
severe illness, to perform that duty, he in
vited Dr. FIThFORD, Lord Bishop of Mon
treal and Metropolitan of Canada, to do it.
In yesterday's Press, the sermon was fully,
reported. In the Anglican Church, every
bishop is spoken to and addressed as "My
Lord" and "Your Lordship," a practice
originating, no doubt, in the fact that of the
twenty-five bishops of England and Wales,
twenty-four sit in the House of Lords, as
barons, being summoned thither on account
of the territorial claims of their respective
sees. By courtesy, the temporal title of
" Lord" is given to all the colonial bishops,
including that " black sheep in biblical
criticism," Dr. COLENSO, of Natal.
FRANCIS FULFORD, D. D., is a Devon
shire man, whose family claim descent
from one WILLIAM DE FNLNORD, who
held the manor of Fulford in the
reign of RICHARD CCEUR DR LION, and,
of course, was of Norman origin. Dr.
DANIA-I,D was educated at Tiverton School
and at Exeter College, Oxford, where he
graduated B. A. in 1824; was elected a
Fellow, in June, 1625 ; was rector of
Trowbridge, Wilts, (the incumbency held,
at the time of his death, by ONADDR, the
poet,) from 1832 to 1842 ; was rector of
Croydon, Cambridgeshire, from 1842 to
1845 ; Was minister of Cuson Chapel, in the
parish of St. George's, Hanover square,
London, from 4845 to his consecration
as Lord Bishop of Montreal_ In 1830 he
married Miss Dnummorth, grand-daughter
of the second Earl of Egmont, which
aristoratic connection may have led
to his appointment as chaplain to the
Duchess of Gloucester, one of Queen
VICTORIA'S aunts. His see was formerly
portion of the diocese of Montreal. Its
value is four thousand dollars a year, paid
out of the colonial bishoprics' fund, and, in
1850, Bishop FULFORD was appointed Me
tropolitan of Canada, The scarlet hood
which he wears with his episcopal robes
marks his rank as M. A. of Oxford—the
hood of a B. A. being black-edged with
-white fur. The Bishop of Montreal has
published several sermons and a work on
"The Progress of the Reformation," lie
was born in 1803.
Tint UNION CANDIDATE for the State
Senate in the Second district is JACOB E.
liroo - wAy. There_ is what is called au
4 ' Independent " opposition to him, which
claims to be strong, and to have the success
at heart of- the. Union nominees in the
ward and district. That if this opposition
is directed only against Mr. RIDGWAY
why IS it that a whole "Independent ":
ticket is nominated? Why is it that
there is not only an "opposition to
the - candidate for , the Senate, but to
the candidates for every position, even
to that of School Director ? The BONSAIS;
ticket is evidently intended to divide the
Union strength, and division is defeat.
The Senator now to be elected will serve a
three year's term, and hie vote Will aid in
the election of a United States Senator.
Why temporize, why trust to uncertainties?
Better to be sure by the election of the
reguhir Union nominee than to trust to a
" Citizens' Union Candidate," who betrays
his purpose by being part of:a tieket which
opposes Union nominations at every point.
This is an important matter. Let every
citizen of the Second District consider it
well. •
MTELLIGERI . SUFFRAGE
With the overthrow of the rebellion, and
the abolition of human slavery, American
citizenship became the most sacred indi
vidual franchise in the world. Conferred
before with almost reckless profusion
it was often used and abused with
criminal corruption. Awarded nearly
without condition or qualification, it was
lightly valued by the hosts who wielded
it. May we not hope that a political Evan•
gelism is before us ; that those who vote
will qualify themselves for that highest of
CIVIC duties ; and that none shall here
after be clothed with suffrage un
less they are fitted to understand their
rights and obligations to, the republic ? On
the day of another annual election, what
better theme could engage the thoughts of
an American citizen, than the priceless value
and solemnity of this relation to his coun
try
MANY swim their present apathy by
the assertion that the contest to-day is
'not important—it is only for an Auditor
General. But, even if it be only for an
Auditor General, it is like the opening skit
mishing.before a grand battle. Important
positions are gained by it, and success in
spires confidence in the expectant array.
Those who think the contest to-day only a
skirmish, and not, a grand trial of stamina
and strength, ought to remember that it
will affect coming; aid, according to their
ideas, more important contests. Thee same
party, with the same principles, confronts
us to-day as in campaigns before. A victory
for that party is a proof either that the pa•
triotic spirit of our people has died out, or
that they suppose a Union it cost four years
of blood to restore is now unworthy of fur
ther trouble.
A'" SOLDIER'S TrenET", forsooth, will
be presented for the suffrages of the people
to-day. Only a little while ago, soldiers,
the same party which now fawns upon you
with hollow deceit did the best it could to
deprive you of your vote. Even when it
was brought to the issue whether you
should be freemen or not it went boldly
to the ballot-box and answered you No !
Now, when it needs your services, it an
swers you it is the soldiers' party. It
strives to cover up all the hideous malice
it has borne towards you under the mask
of patriotism—of unqualified support to the
President, etc. Can you be deceived, in
telligent as you are, brave as you have
been? Can you not address it, with full and
forcible truth, in the words of the greatest
of English poets 2
'Methinks thy voice is altered, and thou
speak'st '-
In better phrase and matter than thou didst.7'
TO-DAY eleetions will be held in three
States—Pennsylvania, Ohio, and lowa.
Governors are to be elected in the last two
States. Their previous record assures us
of triumphant Union victories—important
in the case of lowa especially, where a
legislature will be elected, one of whose
duties it will be to choose a United states
Senator. Let us here, in Pennsylvania, de
termine to emulate Ohio and lowa, and by
the majorities given for the Union ticket
show that our faith and our loyal city are
as warm and as unswerving as ever. "

The journeyer WhO Slowly ridOS along the
Bristol turnpike, between Frankford and
Holmesburg, one of these pleasant days, will
find just what civilization in the country is,
and just what every pastoral poet from Virgil
down. has gone into eestacien over and de
scribed in harmonious verse. The wildness
and weirdness of natural Scenery are all gone,
and in their places has Mine a tempered
beauty, an air of quietness arid homeebss that
no straggling forest or far-reaching prairie
Can ever give. It is a beauty which does
not surprise with its grandness or over-_
awe by its sublimity, but rather pleases
while it soothes, gratifies while it does not
sate the fancy. As he journeys he will first
see on his left the Cemetery of Cedar Hill,
new yet, as the fences and trees which gift it
with a sombre loneliness testify, but whitened
already with the tombstones of the dead from
the little town whose spires just peep above
the tree-tops to the south, Then lie mounts
laboriously the long hill—" Rocky Hill, , the
residents call it—and a grand tableau, stretch-
Rig out for miles before and on either side,
gives employment to his eyes and enjoy
ment
to his fancy. To the extreme left his
vision is bounded by the woodlands, skirt
ing the whole horizon dark, towering
headlands, as it were, into which the
green meadow-mean reaches, making a
thousand bays and cosy nooks. To the right
there is a rolling country, dotted over with
groves and little homes, nestling under far.
reaching oaks and beeches, mingled here and
there with more stately buildings, the abodes
of wealth or competence. The whole coun
try is seamed with ferias, even to the very
edge of the smiling Helaware which lays be
tween the green meadows and the high wood
lands on the Jersey shore. On every side is
beauty—nature restrained or improved by
art. As he goes his attention is -taken by
the mansions and farm-houses that line
the way—all of them attractive in their
way—for their air of competency or com
fort. Rut of all the manorial residences he
will see over more than two-thirds the road
to 1101mesburg, that called Spkingbrook,
which comes upon him suddenly Ks he rounds
a long curve of the pike, dazzles him most
with its. wealth of foliage, flowers, and
ornament, But he will see little of its real
beauty even though the glimpses he reeeive6
are themselves so enjoyable. He will see state
ly groves, meadows, miniature lakes—a gon
dola reposing upon one of them--fountains
in which swans disport; and from out the
leaves in front a gardener's cottage peeps ; he
win have a general view of a thousand things
he would like to examine particularly ; and
pursues his way with a violation almost of
the Tenth Commandment. But if he enters
like we have done, he will lose all idea of such
a violation in the pleasure he derives from his
surroundings.
BPEINGILEOOB-.WHAT IT IS
For years past-twenty-three, we think—
Springbrook has been pointed to with pride,
not only by its owners but by the residents of
all the towns that lie around it. Year by year
it has been improved ; every ornament that in•
virility could devise or money purchase has
been given it, until it equals in every respect
any Manorial residence in the Mune of our
city, or anywhere else • for aught we know.
Twenty-three years ago Caleb Cope, Esq., pur
chased it for a rural residence, and when four
teen years later h e i trans [erred it to Cr. il..Stuart,
Esq., a beautiful residence had been made, to
which the latter gentleman did his best to add.
Conservatories and graperies were erected
into which the choicest plants from every
clime,espeeially the tropica,were gathered; the
choicest ornamental and deciduous trees were
added, walks were laid out, artificial lakes
constructed, and ailed with gold-fish and
trout—all accessories to the mansion itSelf,
which is built in the midst of the ground on a
little hillock Commanding a view of the Dela
ware, and from its observa:tories of the city.
and its prominent buildings.
A WALK OVER THE GROUNDS.
The whole front of the property on the Bris
tol turnpike is bounded by a massive wall-of
Trenton stone, and the entrance is made
through massive iron gates, with brown-stone
posts. Serpentine walks between green lawns,
and under spruce and fir trees—which blend
their branches over the paths and keep theta
in a constant shadow—lead to the mansion, the
gardener's cottage and the outbuildings. The
HAMon is tnreq . stories high, of stone, rough
east, and Mr. Forrest has in it, for leis room,
that on the southern wing, overlooking the
rear of the grounds and the Delaware in the
distance. Here in the rear, and to the north,
in the midst of the broad lawn, are situated
the trout pond and the lake, fed from the
brook from which. the estate derives its name.
In tile midst of the latter Is dii island, planted
round With magnolias, and at the shore is
moored the gondola which every passer-by on.
the turnpike has stopped to admire. Further
to the right are the groves, clean swept and
guiltless of the countless leaves scores of au
tumns have east upon their sward. They are
not wild groves, each tree or straggling
branches struggling with its neighbors for
light and room. Art has been. there, and Na
ture's phantasies and selfishness have given
way to law and order.
But it is to the right or south that the visitor
will naturally turn, even if the gardener, en
thtleittatie in his work and properly proud of
it, does not ask you -into his little kingdom.
Here is where money has been lavished ; here
Is where specimens of Flora's beauty from
every part of the world hive been brought to
delight the eye, touch the fancy, and elevate
the soul. There are seventeen structures
erected for the only purpose of conservato
riee, and in them may be found plants that we,
in this cold Northern clime, rarely or never
hear of, and far more rarely see. An idea of
our feeling when we entered the Lily House
(the moat prominent among the structures)
may be had by any one who pad the good for
tune to spend half ad hour in the horticultural
department of the Sanitary Fair. The Lily
House may nothave bad as ostensive a variety
of pietas as that department, neither was it
by far so grand, but it brought back some of
the impressions of exquisite pleasure we had
felt. Buds, flowers leaves, perfume, the
clear music of babbling, flowing water, and
exquisite combinations of colors, moist cool.
ness ! These were the concomitants of our
stay in the Lily House. We did net need the
ready gardener to tell us that that was a
llaranthats, Or this Chao Discolor, or a third
the .21Totres Meng, or a fourth tile century
Plant: What he said added to our botanical
knowledge, but not to our enjoyment. The
sun was just going his downward way to the
west when we stood in • this Mint of Flora,
and his light falling aslant the crystal-roof, fell
with subdued mellowness on every leaf and
stem. Air-plants, with their long, filmy, arm
like shoots, clothed one end in a green Maze
of tiny leaves, and the cisaus discolor covered
the other all over with variegated velvet.
Ferns, suggestive 'of woed.s and eoolness and
delicious indolence, clothed the sides, while at
the centre of the roof, the creepers met in a
glorious dome, bespangled all over with dew
drops, glittering in the sunlight like diamonds.
In the centre, in a lead-lined brick tank, filled
with the coolest of cool, pure spring water,
flourished an immense Victoria regia, its two
broad, white leaves, fully two feet in diame
ter, spread out upon the surface of the water
in the calmest repose, while around theta
clustered other and tinier leaves—their chil
dren—eo to speak. All around the tank - were
arranged the maranthus and other plants, their
leaves streasced, and spotted, and covered with
every color of the spectrum, bending down
till they just tipped the water. Shining gold
fish darted from the side, now here, now there,
in ;mazy play; while others hid: themselves
under the leaveh as if afraid of the human eye.
All was refreshingly beautiful, and had we
had time, minutes—hours—might have been
past in rapt study. Others had been there
before us at the feast, but theyhad taken none
of its pleasure away, for a new and. unknown
pleasure had been begotten in their hearts. In
a little book at a little desk were the names of
hundrede of visitors, - many Of theta the most
prominent in the land.
It is useless, and we have not the space, to
speak of the green-house, in which plants
from the Cape of Good Hope and other
temperate regions, nor of the orchid
house, where. air-plants, Whose leaves mim
icked moths and butterflies; were mingled in
harmonious confusion; nor of the lily-pond,
where hundreds of lilies had just ceased to
bloom; nor of the beds of violets and fuchias,
their sweet odors just perceptible in the cool
autumn air. Let the reader imagine theta as
he wills, or give his widest fancy to the mean
ing of the word .beautiful in this connection,
and lie will not go beyond the truth. The
vineries, the opinge-house, the orchard
house, the neetarino.-1101190,were all filled With
their appropriate contents.
Turning from all these we pass down the
grovelled walks, hedged with arborvitae, out
to the cool grove—over the soft, yielding grass
back to the house again, up its broad stair
way tO Mr, Forrest's room. As we have said,
he has chosen this for his awn. It was of the
simplest, in keeping with the rest i ,, of the
house ; with grained •Iyannels, its, floor car
peted with light elastic matting—its only re
commendation its airiness, the light that
that streams in from half a dozen windows,
and the view of the Delaware just where
It Rows, a glistening rim to the hazy wood
lands of the New Jersey shore. The Deht
ware here is rarely traversed by vessels.
There is little necessity for great fleets to sail
over it. were it not for the Civilization,
evidenced in the hurdle iron fences that ex
tended before us, and the scattering houses in
the distance of our sister State, it would have
appeared to our eyes just as it appeared to
those of the wandering Delaware tribes, .who
a little more than a century ago built their
lodges in these very woods, and buried their
dead in these swelling mounds. Now and
then a steamboat, its proportions miniatured
by distance, moves like a ghost over the mir
rored, water, or a tiny sail-boat tacks from
side to side; but they do notpass often, so that
our noble river is niin9st always in repose. It
is upon this scene the tragedian will look
when it is bathed in the morning sunlight—a
soothing, beautiful scene. In the autumn
days it will Mtn a new beauty,with the leaves
painted all over with russet, and brown, and
yellow, by the cunning pencil of the artist

A Dozen Reasons Why I Cannot
, .
bly Vote " the Denweratip Ticket."
7b the Editor of The These:
Fine, Because—That !' good Democrat? Jas.
Buchanan, by his treachery and the violation
of his oath to preserve the Government of the
United States intact, did, in the year 1861,
plunge the nation into a long, terrible and ex
pensive war.
Second. Because—By that war, so brought
about, we have lost hundreds of thousands of
our brethren, who have fallen in the late un
holy strife, their untimely deaths alone
chargeable to the criminality of the said "De.
.inocratie party?
Third. Because—ln saint - ion to the loss of
many thousands of the producere of wealth,
we are saddled with an enormous debt, which
must, for many years, press heavily in 'every
conceivable way upon the poor man who
labors for his daily pittance, and which would
never have existed had the Democratic ad
ministration of the said James Buchanan been
true to the country and the Constitution.
Fourth. Because—The leaders in the late
bloody rebellion were all Democrats, and not
one Republican or Unionist could be found in
the entire rebel army, either as an officer or
enlisted man
Fifth. Becanse—tWhen our sons and brother*
were cheerfully exposing their uncovesed
bodies to the storms and tempests of wlnter,
halt buried in Virginia "the Democratic
party," in their rear, essayed to add starvation
to their manifold sufferings by depreciating
the bredit of the Government with a view to
the stoppage of supplies for - the army in the
field.
Sixth. Because—The vilest abuse was showered
upon "our brave boys , ' by the Democratic
party, some of whom openly declared. in my
own hearing that "they hoped to God every
man who went out (as they said) to light for
Lincoln would never be spared to return VI

as

and orphans in the loyal States (made so by
the war) owe their present deselatiOn - and
misery to the fact that "the Democratic par

false to humanity, murdered the noble defend

Tenth. Becausp—" The Democratic party
has ever been the persistent opponents of

foreign allies, and would, if they could, be the

Eleventh. Because—There is no measure of ad

"the friend of the workingman."

I appeal to our citizens with all earnestness
for aid for those poor, starving families. For
the sake of humanity and religion, let our M.
tizens sena some of their contributions into
those humbler channels—down to, yob. damp
cellar, or up to you lonely garret, or into that
cold, unfurnished, cheerless room, where sits
and weeps the soldier's widow with her help
less, hungry children.
Oh! sir, I fear that some things that receive
the name of benevOient in this world will not
be reckoned such yeittbit Last winter I pled
with. all - the pathos which the subject de
mended for those suffering soldiers wives and
their children ;but the Commissions absorbed
all our nation's benevolence and these poor
and deServing were left out in the e01d, 9 9
hungry and naked. Now, sir, I ean . see the
very same state of things about to lie inaugu
rated in regard this " Soldiers , and Sailors-
Home." I rejoice that this Home is to be erect
ed. Yon will remember how earnestly I pled
for such a Home through The Press, lAA Wit/-
ter; but the great danger is that this Home,
which cannot meet the wants of soldiers and
sailors this winter and can never meet the
wants of hundred and thousands of soldiers'
and sailors' families, will absorb all the streams
of benevolence, and, our citizens think they
have done well. wlyin they have contributed
their all to this institution,
Here , sir , is the wrong; and did the mar
nagers of this institution but come into con
tact daily with one-half the suffering that I
meet with, but cannot relieve, if they have
men and women's hearts, they would devise
some means of relieving at once the terrible
sufferings that, sowing to the increasing se
verity of the season, is daily increasing
around us.
May God open the eyes of our citizens to see
this sad state of things, and incline 'their
hearts to do with their means that which will
most speedily and . qgqiently relieve these
wants—feed the hungry, clothe the naked'
visit the fatherless and widow, if not in perr
son, at least by your representatives—green
coal, clothing, food.
City Pastor attends to all HMSO ; and, more•
over, preaches the gospel gratuitously to the
Poor, in addition to his own pastoral labors,
every Sabbath night, in 'tater Hall, South

Let, then, our citizens remember these poor
and needy ones. Let them share their eon
tributions according to the worthinos and ne
ceasity of the case; and their own benevolence
will do good to man and be acceptable to God.
Drug stores at convenient distances all over
our city, where these poor, who cannot pay
for medicine, could obtain it gratuitously,

relieve the sufferings of many a poor, Ws

FELLOW-CiTiziws
The time is at hand to signify ycrur prefer.
ence for State Senator. Sterling Boman, the
Reforin ti Candidate, stands pledged to use
his best efforts.to secure fair and honest legis
lation, and to protect the rights of our citizens
against the encroachments of unprincipled
corporate bodies, who are willing to sacrifice
the beauty and comfort of our city to pnr
pats of mere pecuniary profit. Chosen with
out solicitation on his part, not by mere poli
ticians, but by the action of citizens unwilling
to submit to the legislative abuses which
have so long existed, Mr. Bonsall has the high
est claims to the support Of every citizen
interested in the poitticai reputation of the
State. We, therefore, cordially commend
him as entirely worthy and competent in all re
spects to fulfil the duties of the office. Now
is the time to aid Reform. With no great nci
tionai issue at stake—vilth no measure of
state" policy demanding submission to
minor considerations—nou; is the time to ele
vete the "moral standard" of our Representa
tives.
The vote, judging from past experimice, will
probably be about 16,000. With three WWI
- the successful one must poll about 5,500.
Mr. Ridgway's friends claim to have Demo.
erotic votes enough to reduce their vote to
under 5,000: The contest is, therefore, between
Mr. Bonsai! and Mr. Ridgway. The decision
is without you. The Senate now stands 19
aepobileans to it Demoerats. The majority
now on joint ballot is large. The United
States Senator will not be elected until one
year from next winter, and will depend upon
the legislative elections nett fall, The outcry
in reference thereto, is simply a trick to pre
vent citizens from expressing their honest
opinions On the merits of the candidates.
The absolute necessity for Reform demands of
each voter his independent action at the polls,
where glone Reform can be obtained.
With these foetid; before us, can any citizen
who desires good government hesitate as to
his. duty? By voting for Mr. Boman and elect
ing him, the managers of primary elecilosis in the
future; will hesitate long before they will force
Upon the party a candidate so entirely un•
quaibien and objectionable as Mr. Ridgway.

Our parth We earnestly entreat you to oxen

LING BONSALL and JACOB E. RibeweV, oppos
ing National Union candidates for Senator.
.Toucan safely do so, for, though the Demo
cratic vote is a trifle over one-third of the ag

very many patriotic Democrats, revolting at
the idea of this district being represented by.
Jacob E. RidgWay for the coming three years,
will, foregoing all party trammels, most cor
dially vote for SMELLING DowsALL, and thus do
their part in making certain the defeat of Ja

It is due to the National Union party can
didly to say that, as the nomination of Idr.
Bonsail has not been made to be withdrawn,
the irregular and unauthorized nomination of
Hr. Ridgway cannot ants 'tam not be ccmapromised
with or submitted to, but that every exertion
will be persistently made to insure the elec.

It is bright In fracture, clear of slate and bone. one
ton of Which will go as far as one• and-a-quartertOns
of the majority of coal sent to market. By a very
small outlay the capacity of the mines can be in
creased to cne hundred thousand tons annually.
One of the advantages of owning stock in this
Company may be stated thus:
Ten shares, at *lO per share, will cost $lOO 00

at cost, or about er to $x9.50 pet ten 76 00

deducting ten tons of coal at present price,

The -pre.46llt price of Coal Is *l4 per toil. The
saving by the plan of this Company, therefore,
reduces the actual cost of the stock to about
$3.00 PER BRAME.

investment will be seen at a glance. The same ad

The Company owns, in fee dimple, a lane and
valuable tract of land, with an aggregate depth of
near Sixty feet of pure coal, containing ten to twelve
millions of tons of coal; also, all the Machinery,
Railroads, Wharves, Cars, Shiites, Screens, Horses,

one tort accord annuany and perpetually at its ac

of die to $7 per ton, returning in two or three years his
Mire Inyestment, and becoming ever after a per
tinent source of res'aiiiie +6 himself and ehildren,
While the shares are Sold at this low price we can
show, by ealculation t the remarkable fact that each
share secures to the holder the otonerehsp of more than
one hundred and fifty tone of coal in the mines to hie
credit. The title being In fee simple, each share
holder becomes a hood-fide owner of IlleMroPertg,

In addition to the fee-simple estate, the Company
have a valuable lease, now open on the property
