Tin: defeat of Ceil. Ctrstar and his army on the Little Horn river in Montana, indeed their annihilation, for not a man was left alive to tell of the occurrence, has cast a gloom over the land. It was a sorrowful ending to an euort to teach the savages the Ics-Mii of subjection, and it is not venturing too much to say that for a time at least it v. Hi but encourage them in the belief already too common among this Arab portion of the Si.'iix nation that they arc the masters. It is h.-.rd'y worth while looking for causes oi tie feat, when they are so apparent in the re h:!i itself. Custar was brave even to rash i:es ; he was impetuous and ambitious to add to a r.ame already so memorable for great doc-l-; that many jiossessing it would have been content to die without a single additional laurel. lut not so Custar. The imperish able honors achieved by the gallant old Third Division which captured trophies without number yet never lost a battle, a i njur rr even a gun, in his estimation seemed to fade with the passage of time, and other startling deeds were required to renew their brilliancy in its glorious commander. lie r; .-he I the hazard oa the die, and the result U.-f-ve u- in a veritable pyramid of dead, l.'u-1 i the brave cavalrymau and his brave inve hundred Jell a victim to the same Cus tar an .Lid -us to startle the world by a deed U.'vio which the heroism would pale bo caae of its iu-igniiieance. lie risked all upon a battle for glory growing out of its reelvlcr stiC.-s, and instead he won only a cof a::.l a dead soldiers grave.

The convention in nominating Hayes and Wheeler appear to have done just the thing to meet the views of the people. ros.--s.-cd of a faultless record each candi date, as the truth concerning him becomes k:;cwn, steadily gains ia public estimation and draws towards him that larce class of in en who, eschewing politics as; a profession, j-eek i. lily to place their support where it will re. i;!t to greatest advantage to the country. This is so apparently the case that Demo cracy i: dumbfounded, and leaving the acts s and Wheeler to one side Democrats eavoring to encompass their defeat by are c runn: ; the campaign against us whohy upon the short eo tilings of the (J rant adminis tration. They contend that Huthcrford L Ihfyes will if elected will necessarily make his administration of Grant's because the stiue men will rule the man. Gen. Hayes, however, has all his life proved himself a leader, and his election will prove that Democracy was never more mistaken in its life than when it so villainously asserted that he could be led by Morton, Coukling, Cameron or any body else. His special shtu-a'.-tert-itics are honesty, firmness, hatred of wa-rg doing, and watchfulness. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both his war and civil record, and is in strong contrast with tho-'e attributes of his opponent, Tilden, which only warrant the assertion in his favor that he is a splendid party mauager. And this fact makes it incumbent upon us to watch and work persistently. Tiden's liomlaailou was brought about by trickery. He was the most objectionable man presen ted for the consideration of his party, but he has wealth and he is unscrupulous and the Democratic loaders felt that with him at the head of the ticket there was more certainty of .-ueee.-s because he would not hesitate to use his money and would not scruple over the employment of any means that promised to beat the ilepublicaus and let Democracy into a revel among the spoils. It is cot the Democrat!.; party therefore that is to be beaten in Ni . veiubcr. That is beaten already. It is the trickery and un-erupulousncss of its candidates only that we have to fear, aud to head there oh' it is easy to understand why there should be perfect organization in our ranks, that we may know how we are work ing and who is working with us. Here then is an incentive why we should make use of the -resent .-tenant season caused by the honud teno to prepare for the actve work of N-pn m'.er an ! October by consultation, and iu'i ivh:i;e o ofadvico and views and thorough organization of our forces. This done we i-huil secure for ourselves a comparatively easy, and overwhelming triumphant cam paign. Let u.: tee to tins organ'zatiuu work n'dtHW M m I1 WIM ilWI l 11 1 l I t, III !, Full ) ' OVll FOURTH. Reflection over the doings in Stroudsburg on the Fourth reveals to us no reason to be ashamed of our effort. . On the contrary we can view it in no other light than as a grand success. The programme as arranged was strictly carried out, and whether we consider the day parade, the ceremonies on Franklin square or the fire works of the evening, every thing to have justice done it must be pro nounced excellent in ever particular. It will be remembered that it was a union get up Stroudsburg and Fast Stroudsburg, assisted by patriots from all parts of the county, and indeed almost from all parts of the country. Stroudsburg did well, remark ably well, but we must confess that East Stroudsburg did a wee bit better, and there fore deserves, as we yield them, the palm. Our country friends, however, did not quite come up to expectations, not we presume because the 4th was "a good buckwheat" day, for it was not the season for that; but because the hay had to be taken care of, and preparation had tS be made for taking of the harvest, which we are pleased to say promises well. Our country friends, notwithstanding deserve praise for coming in iu numbers they did, and in view of the fact that on such oc casions they arc going from home instead of, as we, remaining at home, we arc not clear but that justice demands for them a full meed of praise for their share iu making the cele bration a success. Aud then there are the ladies. Well, but for them the celebration would have been a sorry a-fair indeed, as would, in truth, anything else on this sub luuary sphere. We will not attempt to do justice to their labors, knowing, as we do. full well that even Noah Webster's unabrid ged does not contain words strong enough to do justice to the subject. In all things parade, speeches, historical essay, reading of the declaration, fire works, and the fusillade of crackers there was a fulness and a vaiiety which pleased and in terested every body, and sent every body to bed at night happy over the thought of having been privileged to take part in what in future years will be referred to as Stroudsburg's just ly celebrated Centennial Fourth. The inci dents of the da5r were numerous some com ical, all interesting, but uone startling. Not an accident of a serious nature occurred, though, several persons were slightly burned by getting too near the scene of danger dur ing the display of lire works. All of these. however, have about recovered from their mishaps, which at worst proved of but little or no inconvenience. An honorahie connec tion of the a'Jair was the unusually for such occasions, few cases of intoxieatiou ; proving that ours was a national as well as a patriotic lebration. We are proud of this, and doubly pround over our ability to announce the fact to the world. The Declaration of Independence was very well read by Charles S. Detrick, Esq. Judge G. W. Gedley of New York State, but now sojourning at the Cataract House l this county, delivered the first oration. The address was brief, eloquent, timely and to the point. We have heard no one speak of it but to commend it. After the reading of the historical sketch y Win. S. Dees, Esq., Judge Drehcr was introduced to the au itenee. I he Judge delivered one of the most eloquent and orcioiC addresses we ever heard from his ips on a similar occasion, and we would have regretted its brevity had the weather not been so oppressively hot. The fire works were very well putofTin the evening under the superintendence of Frank Hess. The display was ouly tolerable. There should have been more characteristic figure pieces interspercel in the display. There was but bare one in the whole display and that was a weak represen tation of Washington, which two thirds of the audience could not see, from the fact that it faced only the select few. We cannot conclude, however, without con gratulating committees, marshals, misters of ceremonies, reader, speakers, historian and all for the able manner ia which each and all performed the part assigned. And particu larly would we congratulate our neighbor, a military man of the "days lang syne," Col. C. D. Drodhead, chief marshal of the occa sion, for the able generalship displayed by him in marshaling his command. The Col. understands such Work to perfection, and always so manages as to make everything of the kind in which he has a hand a complete success. Some months ago, it will be remembered, .Senator Davis, of West Virginia, offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a list of defaulters to the governmet from 1SC0 to 187(5, with the amount of their defalcations. The purpose of the resolution was to furnish a little campaign thunder for tiie Democrats. Sena tor Sherman moved to amend the resolu tion so as to have a list of defalcations from ISoG to the present time, and it was adop ted. The report, just published, com mences with the administration of Presi dent Jackson, and shows, among other things, that the defalacatious under the pre sent administratis!! have been less than those under any uther President. The losses to the government under Van IJuren were by far the largest, being more than double those of any other administration. The lossess on every $100:.) of disburse ments were in the administration of Jack son, S10-53; Van Duren, S2M5 ; Harri son, a 10-27 ; Pulk, 3S-3I ; Taylor and Fill more, 87 01; Pierce, .V8G. Buchanan, nearly 01)3 ; Lincoln, 8D-H ; Johnson, forty-eight cents ; Grant, the first four years, forty cents ; the second f jur years, twenty six cents. This is exclusive of the post of fice, which administers its own revenue. In the post office the loss has gone down from 1118 on the 81000 in Jackson's adminis tration, and 620-1'J iu Van Duron's to S1-5G for the first term of Grant, aud 8M 0 for the second, with an average of $i-51 for the whole period. The population of West Chester by a recent census is found to be 0,030, a gain of 1 ,000 since 1870. There are two females to every 'nale ia the veiuirable town. The water in the several streams in this vicinit", arc very low. Early hose potatoes of a large size are in the market, selling at $1 per bushel. The thermometer on Sunday last, regis tcred in this place 9S degrees in the shade. - The Stroudsburg Passenger Railway Co., have declared a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. See adv. in another column of to day's Jeff. On' the first page of to-day's Jeff, will be found a very interesting sketch of the life of Rutherford 15. Hayes, the Republican nominee for President. The Monroe Zouaves, of East Strouds burg, will hold a fair and festival next Fri day and Saturday evenings, on Durfee's Island, for the purpose of raising funds to procure new uniforms. The public general ly is cordially invited to attend. Lecture. I5y referring to our advertis ing columns it wilt be seen that the citizens of Stroudsburg and vicinity are to be favored with an evening of humorous and dramatic readings by Miss P. 15. Semple, at Williams' Hall, July ISth. The young lady comes very highly recommended by the press wherever she has appeared, and we bespeak for her a liberal patronage. ,e. Accident. Mr. Henry Fenncr, a promin ent citizen of Hamilton township, on Satur day last, fell from a cherry tree, a distance of about thirty feet to the ground, dislocating his left arm at the elbow and received sev eral cuts about the face and severe bruises on various parts of his body. Dr. R. J. Levering was called aud set the arm. Mr. F. is getting along as well as can be expect ed. The Scranton llipublican puts it in this wise: "The Centennial Fourth was about the most orderly Fourth of July ever cele brated iu Scranton." And then in another paragraph iulbrms its readers that "thirty seven arrests were made by the police" on that day. That must have been a very orderly procession, indeed. In Stroudsburg not an arrest was made during the entire da. The air has been filled for some days with rumors of a reservoir and water works for Stroudsburg. Such rumors should not be suffered to die away. Nothing is so impor tant to a town large or small as a plentiful supply of pure fresh water and nothing should be allowed to interfere with its pro curement. Even though it does not promise a cent of profit on the investment the woiks should be promptly built. Of all men in the world, Decker of the wonderful cheap auction store is the beater. Just look at his new advertisement this week. We thought the last advertisement never could be beat, but, this week he caps the climax. If we did not know 31 r. Decker, we might be inclined to mistrust whether or no, he did not hook a little as he is forever poking himself around among the cheap :oods in New York. Cheat and Good. The American Stock Journal, Parkesburg, Pa., is a most excellent journal. It is worth many times the subscription price to any farmer, and especially to one who desires information on the manifold questions touching success ful stock and poultry raising. Only $1 per annum. Persons desiring a really valu able seed wheat should send 10 cents to the publishers, Potts Drothers, and a.sk for sample and prices of Clawsou Wheat. Sam ple Journal free. Otir 5'iist Century. Mr. Lyon, fgent, has shown us the pros pectus of the above work, and we are ready to say that the manufacture, paper, style, and number of engravings and character of the work are far superior to any book we have ever seen sold by subscription, a cred it to our Centennial year, as many thous and copies tire now already being prepared for the press. One of our ablest writers has been steadily engaged for eleven years on this work. Thirty artists iu Europe and America are eni-aircd on the illustra lions, which have already cost 817,000 be fore a single copy of the book has been published. The book is a great national volume, entitled, '-Our First Century." I have examined the specimen pates of "Our First Century" writen ty il. M. Devans and am very much pleased with the plan and the contents of the work. I feel assured its possessor will never regret investing money iu its purchase. Gr:. D.

The Wisconsin Sentinel publishes re ports from nearly every county in the state showing the condition of the crops. It ap pears that the acreage of wheat is as large as usual, and that the -fields generally, promise well. The damage from bugs and other causes is confined to small areas, and the yield will bo large. Corn will fall be low the average. The yield of oats, bar ley and rye, promises to be unusually heavy. Two fishermen of llarrisburg concluded to try their luck in Clark's creek, and, be ing comfortably seated, one of the party, intent on a sly nibble, did not observe the stealthy approach of a huge black snake, until he was horrified to find that the rep tile had wound itself several times around his leg. He called to his companion for assistance, but ho was not within hearing, and he had but one remedy left, and that was to cut the snake iu two with a pocket knife, which he did, and thus relieved .himself from an unpleasant situation.
