Election. 0:i Tuesday next tlic first election for loroush an J township officers, under the new Constitution, will be hold. Here - in Stroudsburg all is quiet relative to the com i:ig day, and yet it is important that good men should be selected for the offices to u filled. We have to elect a Chief Burgess, six town Councilmcn, two School Directors, one Judge of Election, two Inspectors of Election, one Assessor, 0113 Auditor, one Justice of the Peace, two Overseers of the Poor, and one Constable, and it is about time we arrange the matter of filling these offices properly. The last moment voting is the very worst moment possible for this important work, leading, as it invariably does to regrets over some thing done that it would have been infinitely better to have left undone altogether. Who will move in the matter? Who will second the motion for a l.iecting on Saturday evening to unite upon candidates for the several offices? We have no desire to ?ee polities mingled in with the affair, notwithstanding that a content would give us Republican officers. We want to see politics laid aside and only the securing the. men best qualified to do the most good through their ability to make every thing work to tlic lest advance. We Cuitncilmen who, whi.

Our ice men are having a busy time laying in stocks of the freezing material for sum mer use. The ice gathered is excellent. Reading, in Berks county, draws its live pig supply from Monroe count'. liOok out for heavy porkers in that region next fall. : IIonesdale is happy over the possession of a Building and Loan Association. It needed but this to perfect her belongings. The vicinity of Fquinuink, in Wayne Co., boasts a plentiful supply of Catamounts. Monroe county harbors no such varments in her borders. Though we have excellent sleighing we do not see that much use is being made of it in the way of enjoyment. The sleighing parties of "days lang syne" appear to be played out entirely. There has been a daily stream of railroad ties through town to the depot for a month past The ties coming in and the money re- gomg out makes w :nt :e possessing t - t . t eeiveu in pay tor tnem things lively hereabouts.

We want School Directors who hare the thorough education of the rising generation at heart, and who, yet, will hesitate long br. f jre voting to squander thousands of borrowed capital in erecting faney school houses. We don't want -a niggardly Board, but we want liberality in procuring the useful combined with economy to restrain the useless. We w.mt fair and honest assessments made by a thoroughly competent and impartial Assessor. We want an Auditor who will not be above his work, and whom nothing can deter from n faithful performance of his duties. We want O verseers of the Poor, who while exer cising the most unlimited kindness toward. suffering humanity will protect us from the 'frauds" who winter after winter fasten themselves upon us. We want a Justice 0! the Peace who will do more than merely secure for himself the empty title of Squire who will indeed be a conservator of the "Ta:-e. We went a Constable who will prove h"iii.vtlf an efficient Police officer, who will be around when he is wanted, and who will do liis whole duty without fear, favor, 01 hope of reward. In short we want good and true men in all the positions to be filled men who will honor both themselves and the offi ces by good deeds well performed. To secure these wants we would like to see our citizens, without distinction of party, as seinble in public meeting and, after consulta tion, and comparison of qualification, select, as near as may be, a ticket equally divided 1 etween both the great political parties of the day Republican and Democratic and then work hand in hand to elect it. In mere i&anicipal affairs mere partizanship certainly should be, even if it is not, played out. Who will second our motion for a meeting on Saturday night John Huntsman, Bern ic e Haines. John Smith, and several others took an ac cidental "bath in the pool of Wallace's Mill d im on Friday last, while cutting out ice. They didn't think bathing much of a luxury at this season of the year. The R k.i.ioious Character or Washing ton. A discourse on this subject will be delivered by the Rev. II.

Mr. Editor: As your readers want to know what is going on here 1 will as briefly as possible tell them from week to week. Of course, I cannot go into particulars that would make my correspondence too lengthy and tedious. All that can be expected in a weekly letter is a brief summary of the most important items. We are now closing the fifth week of legis lation and thus far "only one bill has been passed through both Houses and received the signature of the (Jovcrnor I refer to the election bill. Up to the same eriod of time, formerly, there were over a hundred put through the Legislative machine. It was quite a common thing under the old sys tem to introduce a bill in one House, sus pend the rules, pass it, take, it to the other House and put it through in like manner and get the Executive's approval ail in a single day and without the semblance of con sideration or deliberation other than the member having it in charge if asked, giving the assurance that "its all right." Those of your readers who have been familiar with doings in and about thecapitoi during the sessions will remember the gangs of Legislative "Roosters" who in the eapaci- tv of the "Third House" exercised almost unlimited power over the Legislature. The best men, or, those supposed to be the best and staunchest men coining here as repre sentatives, with few exceptions, were carried along into the corrupt practices of "rings," pinchers and corruptjomsts, and during the last five or six years it was almost considered prima facia evidence that a man only wants to steal if seeking the office of Senator or Representative. It was unquestionably the notorious corruptions at Harrisburg every year that finally aroused the people to the necessity of a radical change and induced them to roll up the stupendous majority for the new constitution. Ami now, let us see how the new system works. To one like your correspondent, who has had much experience here, it seems rather tedious the change almost too radi cal. Now it is impossible to pass a bill in less lime than seven days, and in all ordinary cases fully two weeks are necessary to put an act through all its readings, printing, amending and Executive approval. Surely this now manner of legislation is safe in every respect, as it is impossible to "snake" anything through without full and free public ventilation. And fully nine-tenths of the subjects of legislation heretofore are now xc!,.v:1.ed from Legislative At and trails ftrrod to the courts. And not satisfied with all these safeguards, hereafter, fifty instead of thirty-three Senators are to be chosen and seated, and two hundred, instead of one hundred able-bodied men arc to constitute the House of Representatives. This in crease was certainly entirely unnecessary. Yet, notwithstanding the fact that reform has been carried a little too far, it is for all that a decided improvement. It is much better to employ 250 men to do but very little or even nothing, than it is to employ 133 to ran such a system of corruption as formerly The principal items of business now before the Legislature is the general appropriation bill, the apportionments Judiciary and Leg islativethe salary bills and several general laws to carry out the provisions of the con stitution. The Judiciary apportionment just reported in the Senate, seems to be -decidedly unjust in some respects particularly towards your district, as it puts ail the coun ties now constituting a district, together Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Caruon, with 40,000 GOOD HEMLOCK SHINGLES, for sale, in exchange for cash or feed.

Py reference to another column it will be seen that our East Stroudsburg friends have set up a doctrine for themselves, and engaged in the labor of titallihing their own peculiar and exclusive claims to the institution in question. For this reason "we forbear any further clforts in this behalf and throw open our columns to a discussion of the advantages of different joints in the county for the school, and earnestly invite contributions in this relation from the friends of education all over the county. We believe that in many respects there is "wisdom in making haste slowly," and we do not know but that in the settling of the Normal School question, it would be "well to pay heed to the saying. Let the linal result be as it may it is gratifying to know that the work in begun in both Strouds t'urg au'i i.ast strouosuurg with, a most liberal hand Stroudsburg having secured subscriptions to the amount of nearly $25, 000 and Last Stroudsburg to the amount of $22,000. The prospects are bright that we shall in any event have a Normal School in the county. Pteprcsentative Dimmick ofWaj-ne county, has introduced a bill in the House relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors, and to render the license laws more effective. The bill repeals the local option law and authorizes the forui&tlon of county associa tions of licensed dealers for the purpose of suppressing the unlicensed traffic, besides increasing the penalties for illegal sale of liquors, and providing a more certain itethod f prosecuting violators of the license law.

Mcllhaney, on the 31st of January, 1 874, the following named persons were elected Directors to serve for three years, viz : James II. Stroud, Hon. John De Young, Linfor l Mars-h, Hubert 11. Depuy, and Thos. M. Mcllhaucy. We learn from the correspondence of the Heading Kaffir, that Miss Kmma Kistler, of Tannersville, in this county, was with several other ladies, initiated into the mjteries of active membership in 4 "The-Key stone Liter ary Society" attached to the State Normal School at Kutztown, Pa. recently. MissK., being a young lady of superior natural capa city, will,doubtless make a useful member of the society. an earnest, honest and practical man, and means a faithful discharge of duty to his constituents and to the State at large. And it affords me pleasure to state that there is quite a goodly number of such men seated in the present IIoue. Were it not for the Philadelphia crowd or set, the body of mem bers would compare favorably with any former House since the organization of the State. H. At a meeting of the Directors of the Mon roe County Agricultural Society, held at the office of Win. S.

In some portions of Ohio the ladies have taken in hand the suppression of the liquor traffic. The plan of operation is about as follows : The dear creatures assemble in some place fixed upon and after properly organizing, make a raid upon some saloon, take possession of the bar room and open a prayer meeting. The devotional exercises continue either until the praying party is worn out or the Saloon Keeper caves in, brings out his liquors for destruction and pledges himself to give up the business. The former seldom occurs, as if one attempt fails another is begun and another until the end is accomplished the Saloon Keepers seldom coming off victors in the end. Occasionally, however, the ladies do meet with a defeat, and on several occasions the lights were sud denly extinguished the prayer meetings be ing generally heldf in the evening when the Saloons are fall of customers and the refor mers were roughly and none too decently handled. In several instances the Saloon Keepers have applied to the Courts "fur pro tection, a:d several cases of this character are now pending.
