much crowing last election, were taken
suddenly ill with the pip, upon hearing the
returns from Ohio.
ZS" That pet coon that figured so con
spicuously in the columns of the Democrat
last election, has taken his finders from his
nose and retired in disgust.
Judging from the numerous an
nouncements of mass meetings in this
week's Democrat, Amaxdus Oiievts
seems to be foolish enough to think he can
turn back the great tidal wave with his
banner county.
According to the statement of
Amaxdus Orevus, no body but the
Democratic party can give the laboring
men employment and living wages. All
bosh, Amaxdus, and you know it from
your own experience.

The State Central Committee has forced
a Democratic Mass Meeting cn the Demo
cracy of this County, by announcing that a
Democratic mass meeeting will be held in
this place on Thursdaj", the 2Sth, instant,
llichard Vaux, of Philadelphia, an old fossil
politition has been resurrected to harangue
the faithful but lagard Democracy on that
occasion.
Those wishing to see and hear a splendid
demagogic appeal, set to the key of pros
pective defeat, will do well to be on hand and
enjoy the occasion.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
has been interviewing Hon. Edward Mc
pherson, and among other things records
the following opinion concerning our candi
date for Governor, everv word of which, we
believe, is true; "Governor Ilartranft is
much stronger than his party. His adminis
tration has been honest, straight forward and
successful. The people have confidence in
hiin, and their hearts have gone out to him
all the more because so many of them dis
trusted him in 1S72. Thousands of voters
who doubted his honest' then will vote for
him now as the only recompense they can
make for the wrong they did him by their
UDjust suspicions. An appeal for an indorse
ment of his able and upright course will be
among the strongest of our arguments in the
canvass."

The recent defeat of the Bag Money
Democracy in Ohio, and other States clearly
indicates the defeat of the Democracy of this
State on the 2d of next November. But
every friend of genuine money should be up
and do his duty as an intelligent citizen un
til election day. The Democratic leaders
have seen proper to place themselves on
w hat is called a fcoft cr rag money platform.
They go for legal tender groen-backs, rather
fhao gold and silver which are the only true
money the world over. They opposed the
issuance of legal teudcrs during the war,
whieh rendered the legal tender measure
absolutely necessary in order to get funds to
defend ourselves against the Bebellion, but
now since the war is over and our party is
trying to make the legal tender as good as
gold, by gradually withdrawing the legal
tenders and issuing National Currency
through the medium of National Banks to
take their place, the demagogic portion cf
the Democratic party cry out lustily for more
fegsl tenders, giving as a reason that it will
make money more plenty, while the intelli
gent portion of the party knows that their
policy could only make it more plenty by
rendering it worthies.
Let evt-jy roter Le op and talk plainly the
issues dividing parties until election day, and
then the result will teach the Democracy to
le hoce.st and consistent at all times, if they
would succeed. Kick the demagogue where
ever yon find him.

Horrible Minder !
One of the most horrible and fiendish mur
ders we have been called upon to chronicle,
took place at Hackettstown, N. J., on Satur
day morning last. John Bitter, painter by
trade, who has been on ill-terms with his
wile for some time, and on the tuoruing
named, entered his dwelling during the
absence of his wife, and shot his two sons,
aged respectively six and niue years, with a
seven shooter, and then shot himself. The
oldest of the two lingered till near 12 o'clock,
wheu he breatheded his last,and theother died
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The youu
gest boy was shot in the forehead aiwi the
oMest near the left temple. Bitter's
wound did noc prove fatal, the ball entered
back of his left ear and loged near the
crowa of his head. He was . taken
to Belvideie and lodged in jail on
Saturday evening last. The next term of
Court will commence in January next, when
he- will in all probability be tried for the
0 lie nee.
The love of money is said to be ' "the
root of all evil," and no doubt is, but it is
a very sweet root to have, to hold for-ever
more, if wc ' only could. The money in
itself has no evil, it is the use we make of
it that brings the evil consequencee.
Arnold sold his country for gold. The
Saviour of the world was betrayed for
gold, yet the coin remained the same. Not
so with men. They work for it, fight for
it, steal for it, and commit murder for it,
turning a deaf ear to the still small voice
within, that is continually pleading for
them to heed the words of "God and
Nature." "What shall it profit a man, if
he gains the whole world, and looses his
own soul." This madness for money is the
strongest and lowest passion of the human
heart, before whose remorseless altar all the
finer feelings of humanity arc sacrificed.
Health, strength, sleep, pleasure, honor, the
happiness of home, all these are as nothing,
compaired to the love of gain.
Take for instance the gambler, whose
love for gold is more intense than was ever
the love for woman, or the love of doing
right ; more intoxicating, more fervid and
actually in its deeds of self-sacrifice, more
heroic, with nothing more than the vile
end of gold for their reward. He con
quors, or falls with the courage of a stoic ;
descending, in an hour from the highest
social position, to the lowest grades of socie
ty, without a change of features.
Still hanging over the green cloth, where
the demon of pjay enchains him, he exper
iences in one night every vicissitude of our
life. First king, then slave, he leaps over
in one bound with the throw of the dice,
the enormous space that separates these
two men, in the scale of human existence.
His home, wife, little ones, all sunk to the
level of beggards outcast. He knows not
what he will be, when he leaves the den,
whether weighed down with countless gold,
or despoiled of the last poor gem, perhaps
a mothers gift, which glitters on his hand.
His peace of mind and hinpiness all gone,
the quiet and repose of every day life is
torture to him, whose delight it was to
make his own heart throb with agony, his
blood boil, his b.rain reel madly, who throws
his life, his honor, his fortune away at one
throw of the dice, or risk them piece by
piece, in a slow exquisite torture. The
quiet of home is puerile and childish. The
ocean could as soon sink into eternal calm,
the eagle be happy without wings, as he re
turn to the monotony of common existance.
Money has much of real good and value
in its use. A well filled purse is a God
send to the sick and suffering. In the
hands of a judicious person so much benefit
can be derived if properly used. It has
saved thousands of poor weak creatures
from wrongdoing. It has helped smooth the
pillow of the sick and dying. It is associa
ted in the childs heart with taffy, dolls,
tops, chewing-gum, and the longer linger
ing of the onran-grinder and his monkey.
I remember when five cents was a small
treasure and all the children in the neigh
borhood flocked around me when I went to
spend it with the old woman at the candy
store. After while, so little was given for
five cents, a quarter took its place those
days vanished, then we wanted a dollar.
And so it is with the older ones, first hund
reds, then thousands, and finally millions,
and still the secret cry is, "more, more."
Morals are useful, so I will endeavor to
draw one from this precedent. Be satisfied
with the fact that wc live, we see, speak,
hear, that there is a blue sky and green
fields under it. Don't wait to be the
owners of these fields, ' Hold Content fast."
Once one, it never returns. Though

The N. J. Midland Railroad Offer of the
South Mountain and Boston Railroad
of New Jersey.
The first mortgage holders of the N. J.
Midland lly. met in New York Thursday
to consider plans for the reorganization of
the road. After the reading of a financial
report by the receiver, which showed that
the earnings of the road barely paid its
running expenses, a committee submitted
a plan for the speedy foreclosure of the
first mortgage ; for the protection of the
receiver's certificates ($1)50,000); for put
ting forth $3,000,000 seven per cent, bonds
in lieu of the existing first mortgage bonds,
the interest on which is to be funded for
three years ; limiting the capital stock to
$4,000,000, of which $1,200,000 is to be
paid to the first mortgage bondholders, at
the rate of $400 of stock for each $1,000
of bonds ; for issuing $1,500,000 of second
preferred stock to second mortgrge bond
holders, and $000,000 common stock to
creditors of the old company, including
third mortgage bondholders ; and finally
for the management of the road by fifteen
directors.
A substitute for this proposes the issu
ance of first mortgage bonds, $3,000,000,
the taking up of past-due coupons and in
terest on the new bonds for the first three
years with $1,200,000 stock, and the issu
ing of three series of scrip, one of $1,500,
000, one of $:J00,O0O, and the last of $50,
000. Ex-Go v. Peice of New Jersey said the
Midland bonds were worthless, and that
the only way to resuscitate the road was to
give it a connection with the Pennsylvania
coal mines. The business awaited the
road ; all that was necessary was to make
the connection. As a substitute for the
other plans he submitted a proposition
from the South Mountain and Boston Bail
road Company of New Jersey. This road
is being built from the Delaware river at
Portland, near the Water Gap, where it
will intersect the South Mountain Bailroad
of Pennsylvania, the Belvidere Bailroad of
New Jersey, and the Delaware Lackawan
na and Western Bailroad to Deckertown, a
point on the New Jersey Midland Railway
a distance of about forty miles, for the
purpose of making a continuous line from
Hjrrisburg, Pa., to Poughkcepsie. The
con.Tany propose to purchase the Midland
at foreclosure Eale, assuming its bonded
and other deSts. It offers to issue $3,000,
000 of first nvr.ragc bonds to take up that
amount of the oi-J bends. Of these $1,000,
000 will become available at once, but the
interest of the other $,000,000 is to be
funded for the first six year. U will issue
preferred stock dollar for dollar ? other
Midland bondholders, and its emon
stock share for share to stockholders. D
will also pay all the expenses incurred in
carrying out the agreement, the contract
to become binding as soon 's the South
Mountain road shall have bee a completed
to Deckertown.
