WILLIAM A. WHEELER, ofXew York
V'o oberve th:it some of our Demo
cratic cotemporanes uiidmg the supporters
of Tilden rather scarce here at home, have
TiUe to foreign parts to hunt up material to
make up capital for the campaign. They
have .succeeded ia enlisting the services of
the London Times and Standard in the
cause and -arc proportionately happy. Nov.
if they can only succeed in securing a portion
of that Lrilish gold that we used to hear oi
about, election times a few years ago they wil
Le completely made up until in November,
when the American people will put a quietu
on their Hilly.
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

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. It was a
iearful risk and fearfully did he and his three
hundred brave men pay the penalty of his
cop..--Ultimate iuiprudeuce. While his country
will h n ir his name and his deeds, they will

date, as the truth concerning him becomes

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

This is so apparently the case that Demo

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

easy, and overwhelming triumphant cam

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

- The Stroudsburg Passenger Railway Co.,
have declared a semi-annual dividend of five
per cent. See adv. in another column of to

On' the first page of to-day's Jeff, will be

nominee for President.
The Monroe Zouaves, of East Strouds
burg, will hold a fair and festival next Fri

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.

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

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.
