taT Tho Street Passengr Railways of
Easton and Scrantou are proving a com
plete success, and promise plethoric pock
ets to the stockholders. How about a
street railroad in Stroudsburg say to
the depot? Such a thing will become a
necessity ere long and may as well be
talked about.
SrMr. Joseph llance, son of the Rev.
"Win. llance, of Easton, has been selected

to the Court of Prussia, as his private
secretary. Mr. llance was the Tribune $

sian War, and had but lately returned to
America.
Improvements.
The work of laying the foundation of
the new Presbyterian Church, in this bo
rough, was commenced on Tuesday morn
?ng last.
We observed, on Tuesday last, that
Frank Landers had a force of hands en
aged in tearing away, preparatory to the
building of a large addition to his foun
dry and machine shop, on Walton street.
Horace Greely was nominated, on
m Saturday last,, by President Johnson, as
Minister to Austria. Objections having
been raised to a consideration of the no
mination, because of Horace haviDg as
cisted in bailing Jeff. Davis, the nomina
tion lies over until the regular session of
Congress, beginning in December. Ho
race ys he couldn't think of leaving the
country, and looks upon his nomination
as one of Secretary Seward's most bril
liant jokes.
JBy Messrs. C. S. Detrick k Co.'s ad
vertisement will be found in this week's
paper. Persons desiring to purchase any
thing in the Drug, Medicine, Watch and
Jewelry and Notion line cannot do better
than to call upon them. Their branch
tore at the depot, is a very prettily ar
ranged, neat and convenient affair, and
we should think would become a favorite
place of resort with the people of East
ftroudsburg and vicinity.

The Ladies connected with the
Presbyterian Church, have perfected ar
rangements by which Ice Cream will be
served at the Confection and Fruit Store
of Mr. A."C. Jansen, on Tuesday and
Saturday evenings of each week, during
the season. Care will be taken that the
cream will always prove of the best quali
iy, and sold at the usual saloon prices.
The proceeds art to be applied to the
church building fund. Of course the en
terprise will be well patronized.
Brown's Glass Cleaning Polish.
We were presented, on Wednesday
(yesterday), by Mr. J. R. Hand, the gen
tlemanly agent of the manufacture, for
the State of Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
with a box of Brown's Glass Cleaning
Polish, which we found to be a really ex
cellent article, for cleaning and polishing
glass, brass, copper, tin, &c, &c. Every
family should use the article, and our
druggists should keep it on sale for the
aceommodationof customers. Mr Hand's
address is Bloomsbury, N. J.
The Ladies of the Water Gap
and neighborhood, propose holding a Fair
and Festival, near the Kittatinny House,
on Wednesday and Thursday, the 31st of
July and 1st of August next, the pro
ceeds to be devoted to the liquidation of
the debt incurred in the repair of the
Mountain Church, at Dutotsburg. With
60 worthy an object in view, it would be
usless to suppose anything else than that
this effort of the ladies' will be liberally re
warded. As the liberality of the citizens of
that locality is always conspicuous in ef
forts of .the kind hereabouts, Stroudsburg
and vicinity should be well represented
en the occasion.
Touchy.
In noting the arragement for the Com
mencement exercises of Lafayette College,
at Easton, one of the speakers is alluded
to as " One of the Vigorous Unionists of
Maryland," whereat the ..Editor of the
10th Legion Democrat, waxes wroth, and,
in an article of considerable length, re
lieves himself of a superabundance of
bile, with which Jie appears to have been
much troubled.
Is it not singular, the tenacity with
which the old Copperhead feeling adheres
to the skirts of the sorehcaded Democracy
They joined hands with their Southern.
brethren in a contest for the destruction
of the government, and were fairly,
squarely, but most efficiently whipped,
and continue to be whipped whenever
opportunity for doing the job decently is
afforded the people. Notwithstanding the
repeated lessons thus received they
seem to have no idea of learning wis
dom from experience, but continue on in
the old track, and butt away at the pile
of Unionism before them as though it
were easier for them to push it to one
side than to follow the lead of their Re
publican brethren in adding to and
strengthening it. The very name of Union
seems to hare become a stench in their
nostrils; and to have been a champion
of the Union cause, in its hour of great
est need, is all that is needed to excite
their direst ire against any one so fortu
nate.
What a pity that these worthies cannot
be induced to accept the situation as they
find it, and become peacefully disposed
and worthy members of the government
Their present course but docs them harm,
while it in no way affects those whom they
would destroy if they had the power.-
Why not then give it up, and join hands
for the restoration of things to what they
once were to peace and brotherly love
between men, and to prosperity and j erma
nency for the Government.
A different course faithfully pursued
might some day give them respectable
standing as a party, instead of the disrepu
table one which they now occupy as a
miscable, belligerent faction, and .open
the way for a hope of reaching that goal o
their greatest ambition, the power of dis
pensing the " loaves and fishes."
A Hit at Ms Friends.
Our neighbor of the Democrat, in no
ticing the attack of Lorenzo Haines upon
Mr. Stone, of which we made mention las
week, indulges a vain of irony peculiarly
his own, and must needs set his sucker to
work with a view of extracting a little
political capital for the lost cause of Dc
mocracy out of .the transaction. After
rhapsodically referring to HainCs as being
an "American citizen of African descend,
and his attack upon Mr. Stone, as " illus
trating the blessings of Abolitionism and
Negro Suffrage," and after gloatingly no
ticing the fact of his " pelting" one of his
equals (" negroes are our equals now,'
says the Democrat) ' unmercifully," our
neighbor says: "This individual .was
sentenced about7 years ago for arson tut
teas pardoned through the instrumentality
of the iirgro-icorshipiny clique in this
place, after he had served out only half
his term." The italics are our own, but
the assertion is emphatically the property
of the editor, who was certainly not well
posted on what he was writing about.
Haines, it is true, was sentenced for the
crime of arson as above stated, but the
"negro-worshiping clique," most instru
mental in obtaining his release, and who
employed arguments most flippantly to
convince Republicans and Democrats
hereabouts (for men of both parties signed
it), to sign the petition for the release of
Haines, was headed by Gen. C. Burnett,
the editor's espacial friend and leader in
Democracy, and at present the Democratic
representative of this district in the Senate
of Pennsylvania. The General knew of
Haines' ruffianly propensities, and yet he
did not. hesitate to induce others, upon
the specious pretext of insanity, and per
manent ill-health, and reformation, to
sign the petition which induced Gov
crnor Curtin to pardon ths culprit.
Instead, there foro, of showing the beau
ties of "Abolitionism and Negro Suf
frage' the attack of Haines was but a
brilliant illustration of the evils of Demo
cratic interference with the due course
of law. The Democrat should bo care
ful how it hits its friends.
Bed They are building a new Furnace,
of gigantic proportions, at Hellertown,
Northampton County, Fa. It will not be
long ere the Lehigh Valley will be a con
tinuous iron works from Mauch Chunk to
the Delaware. The papers of the valley
having come to the conclusion that one
kind of business alone in that locality is
an injury rather than a benefit, are agi
tating the propriety of erecting works for

plan.
. Dyspepsia.
The scourge of the race, the most ag
gravating of all diseases known, and hard
est to cure, yields immediately to the
influence of Coe's Dyspepsia Cure. It is
certainly the most wonderful remedy ever
discovered for Indigestion, and any dis
order of the Stomach or Bowels.
O.ur neighbor of the Democrat, in his
ast issue seems disposed to be a little
catechetical, and anxious to derive infor
mation from us on toptics which he evi
dently lacks the desire to investigate for
himself, and, in this connncction, takes
exceptions to a statement of ours draww
out by a comparison of the relative merits
of the two candidates for tho Supreme
Bench. We ppokc of Mr.' Sharswood
and Mr. Williams from a political stand
point, and in view of the influence which
their peculiar political predilections had
had on their Judicial decisions, when the
country's life was in danger from the war
which the principles of the party to
which Mr. Sharswood belonged had
brought upon it. In this view we said,
as the Democrat quotes: " Numberless
are the decisions of Judgo Sharswood,
which prompted by ideas which acknowl
edged only a state of profound peace, in
the face of a cruel war, would have
given aid and comfort to the enemy, and
embarrassment to the country, but for
the interposition of a higher power than
that which his judicial commission be
stowed upon him."
hat our neignoor cannot comprcnenu
the point here made is certainly no fault
of ours. We mado it plain enough for
common comprehension, and regret that
his icommon comprehension fails to per
ceive it. If he chooses to merge the poli
ticiau into the Judge, and mistake opin
ions which were decisions in embryo, for
decisions reversed, contrary to the plain
intent of our language, it is a misfortune
of his, or,a fault, which we have no desire
to control. The points with which Judge
Sharswood met the war were evidently
the same points which the Democratic
party and its leaders shouldered and car
ried through the war, to their own polit
ical destruction, and to the final overthrow
of their partizan friends South, who be
gan war upon an asred hope of mora
and physical support from the Northern
Democracy.
.The anti-coercion policy was cmphat
ically a creation of Democracy. It found
an advocate in Buchanan, Judge Black
Woodward, Sharswood, and the leaders
generally. If it was a principle at all, it
wa3 a principle which had law for its
basis, and, as its advocate, Judge Shars
wood, if honest as we believe him to be
on the bench would have given it tl
weight and influence of a decision. To
have done so would have
given
aid
and comfort to the enemy." A higher
authority decided otherwise, and aati-co
crcion was made to yield to the doctrin
of coercion, and the country was saved.
Following up this policy of coercion
in the same spirit in which it was conceiv
ed, when the legal tender question came
before the Court, of which Judge Shars
wood was President Judge, if he had not
been overruled by his associates and "by
the Bench of the country, almost en masse
the country would have been embarrassed
in its finances, and the enemy aided and
comforted by a decision adverse to the
fegality of the legal tenders; and so too
with the raising of armies by draft, the
emancipation of the slaves, and every
other measure demanded to bo employed
for the safety of the Government. On all
these his mind contained but the reflec
tion of other minds minds which could
imagine no suitable line of division for
the Union but one to run north of Penn
sylvania, and which during the whole
progress of the war could see no legal
power to prevent a wicked sacrifice of the
Union upon the alter of bad men's pas
sions, and which to this day can find
no law to punish those bad men for their
rebellion.
It was these amoDg the many other of
Judge Sharswood's decisions to which we
alluded, and to which the whole tenor of
our article proves conclusively that we
alluded. We could not have alluded to
any other, for thank God, the occasion
for a siding in with Woodward, Black,
Buchanan & Co., was met with a positive
negative from his patriotic associates,
Judges Stroud and Hare, who, if they
could not reverse, had at least the power
to overrule and render nugatory the mis
chief which his decisions would have
worked. Instead, then, of dealing in
" vague insinuations," as the Democrat
has it, our allusion amounted to an open
reference to what was stubbornly patent
to every one who has at all kept pace with
the times, for the last seven years, to wit:
that, as a hard-sheil Democrat of the
Judge Black and Woodward school,
Judge Sharswood's inclinations, as his
decisions would have been if not held jn
check, were all for the success of the men
who wared for disunion. So etraight laced
was his Democracy that laws which were
potent to punish the burglar for breaking
into your house, were, in his opiuion,
wholly inoperative against reprobates who
undertook the wholesale job of breaking
into and destroying the government. 16
such a man, however honest (and the
more honest the more dangerous), fit to
be elevated to position in the court of last
resort of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania? To the question as to who incited the
war, how it was done, and what principles
prospered (be. rb?lJion.? our neighbor
i ft I i-inrr
can oesc receive an answer vj ovjo
the history of tho Democratic party for
the last twenty-five or thirty years. As
to what aro " wholesome and just laws?"
the reading of the .proceedings of the last
and present Congress will, we think, fully
convince every unprejudiced mind.
The President's Message, vetoing the
Supplemental Reconstruction Bill, was
sent to Congress on Friday last, and was
met, in the Senate, by a prompt, calm
and dispassionate counter veto. It was
read, attentively listened to, and, as it
was found to be filled with fallacies as
weak and apparent as were those which
ed fhe Democracy, in 1861, to adopt re
hellion against, instead of acquiescence
in, the decision of the people, it was not
deemed worth whilo to even speak of it.
In the House, the message was handled
Willi a iree uauu. uy uuiu juuas,
Unionists against and the Democrats for
it, and after its merits and demerits had
been freely discussed, the same fate was
meted out to it as was measured by the
Senate. After rehashing, in somewhat
different shape, the arguments urged
against the Reconstruction bill proper,
the gist of tho President's objections
loom up in the fact, that, learning wisdom
by experience, Congress, in the Supple
mental bill, dispenses with the agency o
the President and Attorney-Genera
Stansberry in' bringing about a restora
tion of the Southern people and States to
the Union." Members of the Republican
persuasion, doubtless, became convinced
that the extraordinary wrenching of con
science, on the part of these two worthies
rendered necessary for the suiting of
law, which was intended to debar unre
constructed.rebels from monopolising the
powers of the State Governments, to the
giving them all the power, was too ex
hausting for repetition, and hence, in the
matter of reconstruction, Andy was left
out in the cold. It is gratifying to know
however, that the President submits to
the fate prepared for him, and leaves the
remedy for his supposed wrong3 with the
people at the ballot-box just where the
majority in Congress wants them to be
decided.
The Tickets for the Phoenix Fire
Company's Grand Gift En terprise are go
inir off like hot cakes. We have heard
of several gentlemen abroad who have al
ready sold the first instalment left with
them, forwarded the money, and ordered
new supplies. The reason for this sue
cess is obvious. The last enterprise o
the company was conducted so fairly, an
the gifts handed over so promptly, that
the public are in love with the company'
manner of doing business and, cop.se
quently, like to deal with it. N c shoul
not wonder if the tickets were all disposed
of long before the day appointed for th
drawing of tho sifts. It will not be safe
for any one, who desires to be one of th
fortunatcs, to defer purchasing too long.

which met in Ilarrisburg on June 11th,

not a word was uttered. A measure so
nearly related to the permanent welfare
of tho whole State, and in which the peo-
pie are inicresica more than any other, is
not even recognized by a party askiug for
popular support. The inevitabla infe
rence is that tho Democratic party is op
posed to a Free Railroad Law.

. Historical Facts.
The danger of electing Copperhead
Judges is shown by reference to the past
udical "Opinions of the magistrates of
that stamp.
In 18G1, when the South seceeded,
Judge Black, President Buchanan's At
torney General, promulgated the "Opin
ion," officially, that the General Govern-
menj. had no right to coerce States even
n so crave a matter as rebellion. Presi
dent Buchanan adopted that view, and re
used toreiuforce or provision the garrison
of Vnrt Sumter, or to resist the hostile
measures of the traitors which finally re-

Jud-c Black, at the late Ilarrisburg Con
ention.cndorscd Judre Sharswood as hav
ing "no unsound spot on him," which may
be takeu to mean that he held the same
views.
"In 1863. the Copperhead Judges of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania de
clared the Draft Luw unconstitutional,
they having at that time a majority on
the bench. Fortunately the Republicans
elected Judge Agnew in that year, and
this decision wa3 overruled soon alter, by
his vote. But for this circumstance our
State would have been involved in direct
conflict with the General Government,
and our own citizens probably with each
other in this deeply important question.
Judge Sharswood endorsed Judge Wood
ward, who was at the head of this con
spiracy, at that time, and Judge Wood
ward now endorses J ude aharswooa as a
fit and proper man to succeed him on the
Supreme Bench of the State.
In 1804, Judge fcharswood himsell
tried to get his Court in Philadelphia to
declare that U. S. Treasury notes were
not a legal tender and promulgated an
elaborate opinion that the act of Congress
declaring them to be so was -unconstitu
tional aud, therefore void. Fortunately
aain, his two Republican colleagues,
Judges Stroud and Hare overruled him,
and his second attempt at nullification was
averted, and Pennsylvania saved from dis
grace
The people can judge from this what
sort of law may be anticipated from the
Supreme Bench of the State, if Judge
Sharswood should hold the balance of
rower. Let them take care not to afford
Judge S. an opportunity to give more de
cisions of the tame sort.
EThe following, which we find in the
10th Legion Democrat, is worthy the at
tention of our merchants, our farmers, and
our consumers of butter. If there is any
thins that amounts to an unmitigated
imposition, it is the making of our citi
zens ay a first quality price for the mise
rablc, nasty stuff too often palmed upon
us for good fresh butter :
A Few Words About Butter.
When people buy sugar, molasses, mus
tin or almost any other commodity at a
store, they pay for it according to the
quality of the article purchased. Nobody
would think of payiug as much for a
pound of the commonest brown sugar as
they would for the same quantity of pure
white pulverized, nor is it asLed ; but a
pound of butter uufit for anything but
wagon grease costs the same as a pound
of the sweetest and freshest butter in the
market. Now, this is manifestly unjust
arid wrong uujust to consumers and to
those who make good butter. It is sn
evil that should ho remedied, and may be
if storekeepers will but take the matter
in hand and act in concert. Let them
discontinue the practice of paying the
same for shoe grease they do for sweet
butter, and we shall soou have morj of
the latter and less of the former in our
market. But the storekeepers must act
together in the matter, and stick jto what
ever they agree among themselves to do
A departure by one or- more of them,
from the rule laid down by all, would not
only operate to the disadvantage of other
merchant?, but defeat the very thing it
was expected to accomplish. .Let our
business men act upon our suggestion.
