by Wednesday morning next.
f-iT Reader vMc"""fo7 EDWARD M.
PAXSON for Sfi'Ri-.MF. Jfdgm. He is
thoroughly honest, has a mind well stored
viih legal lore, and will labor conscientiously
to save from depredation the Judicial ermine
of our f lorious old Commonwealth.
Reader vote for A. G. OLMSTED,
for Lifutexant Governor. The first in
cumbctit of this new office to our laws, should
he a man of character for honesty, and whose
fitness carried with the additional requisite
to success, experience. The convention was
particularly fortunate in the selection of Mr.
Olmsted, and you will wofully fail in duty
if you tail to vote fur and elect him. His
opponent, 31 r. Latta, is but little known out
side of his own party, and that little is any
thing but enough to warrant him in asking
Republicans Tuesday next is the day
set apart for the first election under the new
Constitution. You should feel it a pleasant
d ;t to go to the polls on that day and vote for
I'axson, Olmstead, Allen, Beath and Butler,
and the safty and honor of your State. The
fourth of July has hardly more significance
ior patriots than all should see centered in
Election day, indeed not a whit more. It is
true that the former is the natal day of our
national independence, but it is equally true
tliat it is on the latter day that we show our
selves, worthy of our blessed priviliges by vot
ing so as to secure its preservation. This
you can best do by voting for the gentleman
ji.imed above. Remember that it was Demo
cracy which attempted to disrupt and destroy
thi Government, and that it Mas Republi
canism which came to the rescue, and over
riding every other consideration fought man
full'. and successful! v for the right.
SO" Reader vote for HARRISON ALLEN
i'.-r AfKiTOR General, en Tuesday next, if
wi.h to retain a first class incumbent in
that important office. Mr. Allen has proved
3 y Ins works during the last two years his
worth as a guardian of your treasures, and
it would be an eggrcgious piece of folly for
you to supplant him now. Iu all bis relation
be has proved himself honest and true, and
j.ist the man you need in the position. His
opponent 3Ir. Justus F. Temple is wholly
unknown to you, and if you do your duty on
flection day he will pass into still deeper ob
livion. C5i Republicans go to the polls early on
Tuesday next, and after you have voted, go
to work looking up the voluntary delinquents
and those who are absent by reason of age or
bodily infirmity and see that all get there and
vote, and vote right. Make it your duty to
look after the disgusted Democarts, of whom
there are known to be many in the county.
Republican votes are to be found among
these, if Republican truths are plainly laid
before them, and every vote thus made
counts two in the grand result. Remember
that every Republican's true duty on election
day begins with the opening of the polls, and
ceases only after the votes are counted and
the result in the district is known. Prepare
yourselves, then for a hard though a glorious
days work on Tuesday. The Democrats, we
assure you will not sleep on that day, and
you must be around to watch and see that
tbey come uo dodges over the right.
ES?READr.R VOTE THE WHOLE REPUBLI
CAN State Ticket on Tuesday next if you
wish to promote the best interests of the
Commonwealth. Bear the truth in mind
that fourteen years of Republican rule, not
withstanding the wars necessary pecuniary
demands, has abolished State Taxes ou per
sonal and real property and reduced the
State debt at the rate of nearly $2,000,000
per annum bringing the debt from forty
odd millions down to some twenty odd mil
lions, and laid a safe foundation for a like
annual reduction uutil all the debt is paid.
If you wish this glorious State of things to
continue you must see to it that the manage
ment of affairs does not fall into the hands
.f the spoils party, eommononly called the
Democratic party. But you will not permit
w foolish a thing. Be sure to vote right
then by voting for Paxson, Olmsted, Allen.
Beath and Butler.
The Republican Conferees of this Con
gressional District, met at Mauch Chunk ou
Tuesday last, and nominated ALEXAN
DER W. BUTLER, of Carbon, as a can
didate for Co egress.
Mr. Bl'TLi:". is a resident of Mauch Chunk,
and for twenty years has been connected with
(l.e banks of that town, and is now Cashier
of the. First National Bank. lie is also a
leading officer of the Carbon. Iron Co.; has
a thorough know ledge of the currency and ta
riff questions from long experience: is highly
respected hv .".11 who know him. Reader
vote for ALEXANDER W. BUTLER.
r?" By the time our next paper makes
its next appearance, and in its columns, we
confidently expect to lay the figures of a
glorious triumph of correct principles, not
only in Pennsylvania but in other States
which will vote on Tuesday, before our rea
ders. Our oil coon is ready with his nasal
gyrations, and our rooster is in good feather
and lungs for a most lusty crow in behalf of
Republican victory.
Sf Reader vote for ROBERT B
BEATH for Secretary- of Internal
Affairs on Tuesday next if you wish to rest
secure in having performed your duty. Gen.
Beath has been a faithful administrator of
theSurvevor General's office for the last three
years, and during that time has developed
qualities cmiuently fitting him to fill the new
office for which he has been named. A faith
ful soldier and a faithful public ofliccr, and
a man of thoroughly sound principles he well
deserves your support. His opponent, Gen.
McCandless was before you three years ago
for the post of Auditor General. You told
him then, emphatically, that you did not re
quire his services then, and he has since af
forded you no reason why you should want
him now. lie is a political trimmer of the
Democratic school, and certainly is not the
man to take official part in the affairs of the
government. Of course you will vote for
Beath.
3- Our neighbor and his big rooster had
a lusty time last week crowing over the re
sult of the (lections in Ohio, Indiana, Ar
kansas and West Virginia. They appeared
to feel so happy over it that we could hardly
bring oursclf to regret the loss we had sus
tained. It had been so long since they had
such nr. cprcrtanity, end their prospect for
the future was so dull for them that we did
not wonder at their taking advantage of what
was set before them to give vent to their joy.
But now certainly will come our t:u;c. With
Pennsylvania and New York leading off the
November elections and all culminating i"
grand Republican victories will furnish our
opportunities and, of course, we thai! cot be
slow in taking advantage thereof. We confi
dently look for something more than our
usual success, and we feel that we almost see
the necessity of asking the loan of our neigh
bors immense cock-a-deodle-do to assist in
giving zest to our efforts. Be prepared
therefore neighbor to respond to our propos
ed call in this regard, and nerve yourself up
to the task, too, of listening without fear and
trembling to our thundering huzzas over the
glorious victories yet to come a Republican
majority in Congress secured, and a faithful
national administration most gloriously sus
tained. These are surely among the results
to be secured by the 2ovember elections.
Ci-Oar neighbor rinds fault with the Re
publicans for having taken State Taxes from
off the poor nuns homestead and occupation
and placing them where they should be on
mammoth, bloated and monopolizing corpora
tions. The Republicans thought that as the
corporations were rich under the priviliges
robbed fro lit the people and conferred upon
theut during i;the good eld Democratic times"
that we read about, that they thouM do no
less than pay a portion of the expenses of
the government under whose laws they were
protected. The people think this is right as
it certainly is. The Democracy think differ-
1 .
and "the Democrat thinks, no writer
" but a knave intending to deceive or a fooi
lt unfit to instruct auybody, would be guilty
"of writing such twaddle." Well
cverv
man to his notion, and while Republican:-:
think most of the people and legislate for
the promotion of their interests, we do not
feel like finding fault with the Democracy for
thinking most of corporations and denounc
ing Republicans for bringing them to the as
sumption of a just share of the government
burdens. It would be well, however for the
Democratic voters, on election da', to make
a note of this difTercnce in the views of the
two parties. We have no fears of the result
with the issue joined : Democracy and the
corporations vs. Republicanism and the peo
ple, because we shall expect to win every
time.

D. S. Lef, Attorney at Law, and District
Attorny, has moved his office from Lee &
Co's Furniture Store, to a room in Jesse
Albert's house next door to the Stroudsburg
House. Mr. Lee found that lie was
absolutely compelled to devote his whole
attention to the law, and to this end has
taken the room above mentioned, where
his clients will hereafter find him in
readiness to serve them. We take pleasure
in thus noticing the prosperity of a rising
young man.
Mr. William Kautz, son of Mr. Ilenrv
Kautz of Stroud township, shot a species of
game that is not often met with in this sec
tion of country, on Wednesday of last week,
lie was hunting in the woods near his fath
er's house when he came across a wild cat.
With true nimrod pluck he blazed away at
the varmint but only wounded it Two more
shots, however, brought the animal to its
death, when on measuring it it was found to
be three feet in length, and rather an unpleas
ant looking ol ject to meet in the woods.

Mr. Henry Fulmer, in the improvements
contemplated on the Stroudsburg House, re
cently purchased by him, displays an energy
unusual to this section of country. General
ly here the rule is to talk and calculate for
a year or two before acting, and we know
that improvements on this very house have
been talked about annually for tho last ten
or twelvo years, but Mr. Fulmer's plan ;s,
evidently, to do Srst and talk afterwards. It
is but a few weeks since he made the pur
chase and he already has the work progress
ing rapidl', and intends by the -0th jroxinio
to have the improvements under roof, and
will doubtless have all finished for the recep
tion of guests long before the summer season
commences. Such a man is a valuable ac
quisition to a place, if for nothing else than
the example he sets of energy and thorough
goaheaditi veness.
Tlie Lunar Eclipse.
The total eclipse of the moon on Sunday
morning though remarkable was not alto
gether unusual. Such an occurrence has
happened before, but we doubt whether any
thing exceeding the beauty of the Eclipse on
Sunday morning was ever witnessed. The
precise time for the moon to creep under the
earth's shadow had been announced several
dars previously from the Smithsonian Insti
tute at Washington, and of course the cur
ious in such matters were prepared to greet
the show. The night was beautiful, but be
fore the eclipse set in much of the moon's
brilliancy was obscured by a haze which
o'erspread the heavens. A friend, who
watched the progress of the Eclipse from
the commencement to the end, says that the
black shadow on the moon's edge began to
show itself at about 12:21 a. tn. It was not,
however, until 1 :3L a. m., that the eclipse
was complete and it remained so until about
half past two, when the moon began to
emerge from the shadow, and by 3:31 a. m.
eve rything was clear as a bell again. At two
o'clock a. iu., the picture presented by the
phenomenon was one of sublime grandeur.
A narrow silver lining marked the upper
edge of the moon's surface and from this it
receded gradually to a deep cloudy red in the
center and from that to the blackness of dark
ness towards the lower edge. We can com
pare the moon's appearance during the. total
ity of the eclipse to nothiug so truly descrip
tive as tarnished copper. Doubtless thous
ands upon thousands of human eyes, during
the progress of the marvel were gazing heav
enward Avhen we were, and drinking in the
delights of the scene that attested so eloquent
ly to the science of the spheres, and the
precision of human skill in computing their
wonderful revolutions. Those who missed
seeing the eclipse, missed a rare and grand
slight indeed.
Judre Elwell. of the Columbia district, in
a suit tried before him recently, has decided
that under the late law repealing State Taxes
ou real estate, &c. School Directors can uot
levy an assessment exceeding ten mills on the
dollar for school purposes. Up to the time
of this decision it was supposed that the
maximum was thirteen mills on the dollar.

Tbc Musical Convention.
The Musical Convention in Stroudsburg, con
ducted by Professor Theodore E. Perkins, of
N. Y., which closed its Hession with a Concert
on Friday evening of last week, was a grand
success.
The attendance from the beginning to the
end of the session was large; and the turn out
to the Concert was mot gratifying to the Pro
fessor and his pupili. The verdict of those who
attended the Convention and listened to the
pinging on Friday evening, is that the Profes
sor knows first how to sing himself and how to
make others sing. Many having expressed
an earnest desire for further instruction by
him, arrangmcnls have been made for his re
turn to Stroudsburg to give a course of les.ons
in both the elementary and higher departments
of vocal music. In order to secure this great privi
lege to our boroughs and the adjacent com
munities, Mr. Jerome S. Williams lias very
kindly granted the class the free use of his hall
evcrv Monday evening for three months. The
first "lesson will be given on Monday evening,
the 9ih of November. The whole course will
consist of 12 lessons, 2 hours each. The first
hour of each pession will be devoted to the ele
ments of music, made so plain that youth can
understand them, and the other hour will be
ppent on the higher culture of music.
The price of tickets to the whole course will
be $2 and can be obtained from Rev. V. II.
Dinsniore and Thos. A. liell.
There will only be enough sold to cover the
expenses incurred in getting up the class.
About eighty persons have already given their
names as members of the class, which cerlain
lv sneaks well for the reputation Prof. Perkins
lias made for himself amongst the lovers of
music in our corr.manitv. And we are glad to
see that so many appreciate the opportunity of
placing themselves under go great a master of
this hue art. It !2 truly a rare opportunity
and the price of the tickets has been put at a
Very low figure in order to aflord as many as
possible the privilege of attending this superb
musical instruction. It 13 the special desire of
the managers that all of the Churches within
reach will be fully represented in the class so
that they will enjoy an unsurpassed privilege
of elevating their congregational and sabbath
school singing. If any in the country wish
tickets they will please make application im
mediately, either in terson or bv letter. The
I tickets must invariably be paid for in ad vance
the monev will be safel v deposited: the pro-
, enF na! , wfcl. W if irkn or rWh
prevent his fulfilling the engagement, the
mouey will be refunded to the pupils.

The State Dbt
From the Philadelphia Erenicg Bulletin.
There is one argument for the Republi
can party iu Penrsylvania. that can never
be gainsaid. The State debt,, created by
Democratic extravagance, waste and cor
ruption, has boon steadily paid off by suc
cessive BepuLUeatv administrations. Iast
Saturday, State Treasurer Mackey comple
ted a purchase of State bonds, which brings
the aaioant redeemed by him since the be
ginning of the present fiscal- year, Dec.. 1,
1873, up to one million dollars. And before
tho end of the year the Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund will redeem about $309,
000 moreso paying off 1,300.000 of the
State debt during the current fiscal year.
Since 1801, this Republican work of re
demption has gone steadily on, relieving
the State of the burden of debt heaped up
on it by the Democratic party. From
18G1 to 1S74, nineteen millions of debt
have thus been paid off. And. this has
been done not by heavy taxes, bat by grwl
policy in developing the- resources of the
State, and good management of its incomes,
fn thirty years the Democratic party piled
up a debt of $10,000,000, in the same or
less time the Republican pariy will have
paid it all off.
This is an argument which be who runs
mav real, and one fhat no specious phis
try or misrepresentation cart possibly weak
en or sot aside. It comjs home to every
citizen and to every business interest in
the State. Pennsylvania is rapidly ap
proaching a freedom from all debt, under
Republican rule, and it is siuir.lv blind foliv
to talk about putting the debt-makers baChi
into power, when the de bt-payers are stead
ily pursuing such a good work.
Pennsylvania, relieved from debt, will
win fresh honor as the Keystone of the
Union ; and she will be able, without bur
dening her people and her industries with
hcavv taxation, to earn forward much use
fill work which properly belongings, to a
great State like this, but which cannot he
properly done while any debt rests upon
her.
The people of Pennsylvania should ev
erywhere have their eyes open to this un
answerable argument which comes from
the Treasury Department. In a year of
unusual depression and unusual necessarv
expenditure, the Republican administra
tion of the State pays off one million three
hundred thousand dollars of debt. If there
is ever any virtue in the good old maxion,
"let well enough alone," it ought to have
its full weight upon public opinion and pub
lic action when it is applied to an issue in
volving the honor and well-being of the
State. When the Republican party has
paid off the whole debt of Pennsylvania, it
will be time enough to determine whether
the people want to set the Democratic
party to work contracting a new one.

When a Lehigh Democratic editor read
that the Republicans had been defeated in
the province of Riseay, he thought that
Biscay was somewhere in New Jersey, and
published the news surmounted by a pair
of barnyard fowls, the American eagle, a
colored man with a bundle slung over his
back, a cannon on duty, and several other
illustrations that are trenerallv brought out
on the occasion of a Democratic victory
aud referred to the defeat editorially as
''another rebuke to the Radical administra
tion. hen subsequently informed that
Biscay was in Spain, and that the Repub
licans had been defeated by the Carlists,
that editor wanted to step down and out.
