SATURDAY, KOTBMBER 24, 1806.
IdeSnitBiFP Bkcklet, the new Sheriff,
assumed the duties of Lis office on Monday
last. The short vacation between the No
vember and January Courts, neceeiarrly Im
poses onerous duties on the new Sheriff
when there is much business. The new
deputies appointed by Sheriff Btckky are
John A. Hoffman, of Rush, and Martin
Bucber, of Sunbury. The arrangement, for
the division of labor, between tlio two
deputies, is, that Mr. Bucher, who has had
some experience, as constable, &c, is to
at tea d to the business in and arouud Sun
bnry, wltHst Mr. Hoffman, who has had fif
teen, years experienco as a Justice of the
Peace, will attend, generally, to the business
throughout the county. We have no doubt
that under the adminstration of Mr. Beck
ley, who Las always been an obliging and
attentive officer, the duties of the office will
be faithfully performed.
3T"iEORo Scfkkaoh. It is a singular
feet that the ablest and most influential or
gans of the Democratic party, such as the
Chicago 7imts, Boston JW, and New York
World, are out in favor of negro suffrage.
They contend that universal suffrage is not
only democratic, but its adoption alone can
save the democratic party from utter anni
hilation. Even the rebel organs of the
chivalry, at Charleston and other southern
cities, arc beginning- to favor this measure.
The leading organs of the cops, in Pennsyl
vania, are noncommittal, and say nothing
on the subject. They are evidently feeling
their way, and not yet ready to express their
sentiments. Whenever they do so, the rank
and file ot the county Press will follow in
their wakes, with that spirit of obedience to
the party and the party lash, which a long
course' of instruction has taught them.
Should the priuciple of negro suffrage be
adopted, for the purpose of restoring the
party, we shall find our negro-hating co
tenipnraries, not only ready to "swallow the
nigger," but throw him up again, "redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled," with whom
they will march to the polls, arm in nrra,
provided he will "vote the ticket and no
thing but the ticket." Such are the muta
tions of party and party tactics, caused by
the thirst for offica and official patronage.
riT"TnK Stock Market. The Pitts
burgh Gazette, of the 15th, says the stock
market has been dult and declining, and pur
chasers for the East lost heavily. That those
who shipped stock from there to New York
and Philadelphia last week "got their fingers
burned'' pretty badly, and, as a matter of
course, these men will not buy very largely
now unless they can do so at a material re.
duction. Prime to extra fat cattle, suitable
for retailing in the eastern markets, sold at

fcSTTnder the head of how to kill the
Radical party, that brave newspaper, the St
Louis Democrat, replies to the Chicago Tlmet
in the following language:
The object of tho Time is plainly avowed.
It wants to kill the Rudicul party. This it
proposes to do by granting everything that
the Radical party seeks. We demand equal
rights and impartial suffrage. "Grant both,"
lays the Timet, "and so get this Radical
party under ground." Very good, gentle
men We will conseut that the Haiiical party
shall cease to exist when you have granted
all that it asks ! It fights uot for the spoils,
but for the triumph of idens. Let its ideas
rule, and we do not caro what becomes of
the party. The plan of the Time may seem
somewhat odd, but it is really the only feasi
ble way of getting rid of Radical rule. Just
a long as the questions raised by the war
remain unsettled, the country will smash
Onwrvatiain, Democracy, Jnlinsonisin, m
wliutever else you may call the purty opposed
i.' radical ideas, in every election. Just an
long as the negro question remains open,
ji'kt so long as the laws do not grant to a
black man the game rights and the same
protection that they grant to whites, just so
long the Radical party will rule this country.
Just so long as blind aud stupid prejudices
raise their feeble protest against the Declara
tion of IufUpendence, lust so lone there will
b a fctrutrgle to make the spirit and letter of
that sublime document the supreme law of
. trie laud, ana in tliut Btraggle Radicalism
will inevitably win. There is just one way,
nn-1 only one, to get these disturbing ques
tions out of politics, and that is to settle
them on the eternal basis ot justice.
The Timet says that impartial suffrage is
inevitable. It was inevitable from the in
stant that slavery was abolished. The only
question thtn, and the ouly question now, is
whether it shall come speedily, and with the
consent of the people in every part ot the
land, or whether long discussion, years of
agitation nna political contest, and the
a'eady education of public opinion shall be
necessary to accomplish it. Akdrbw Joun-
bw might have ended the matter by his
single word. 1 ho boutli would have ac
quirsced ; the North would have sustained
him, and before this time there would have
I pc a peace and a complete restoration of all
the States. Bat he thought liCou'.d ue the
prejudice against the negro to secure bis
election. For Unit purpose he threw him
self ii.to the arms of Copperheads, and gave
traitom the coot role at the Houtn. And now
it may take time to undo the mischief caus
od ly his treachery. It may take years to
secure to loyal men at the South that full
protection in all their rights that tue Con
atitution grant. It may take years to secure
at the South and at the North alwolut
equality before the law equality of civil
riirhte and impartial suffrage. Or, if the
South and the Democratic party of the North
' are wise they may atop all this agitation,
take the negro question forever out of poll
. lira, and restore every Southern State to the
Union within one year. . Tho advice of tho
7'i it good. True, its motives is not the
bestte ancura a party ascendancy. But it
. reasoning is sound. . So Icnu as these ones
. tlons remain unsettled, the Radical party will
crow stronger with every election. It can
be got out of the way only by yielding in

HIGH PRIOX OF LIVING. I
"Very little business doing" is the general
report from the wholesale and retail dealers
throughout the country It was expected
that, on the return froaa the country, to
which (or to the watering places) so many
persona migrated for the summer and early
autumn months, there would be the great
expenditure of former years. Not ao, bow
ever the price of bare living baa so much
advanced that people look, not twice, but a
dozen timea at a five-dollar greenback before
they change it. Food, in all its varieties, is
sufficiently abundant. The barveat, after
some misgivings on that score, turns out to
be more abundant than usual. But the par
tits who speculate in provisions of all kinds,
unci the retailers who loath to surrender the
great profit whioh they received during the
war, still press heavy prices upon the com
munity, nnd, though wages have risen, keep
their customers and especially the working
classes poorer than they were at any pre
vioua time. What the thieving higli prices
on one hand and heavy as well as unequal
taxation on the other, it is harder to live, in
this great land, than ever it was before ; and
as the last straw to break the camel's back,
renta have nearly doubled. The Irish cla
mor for "tenant rights :" we have as just
grounds here to complain. When $300 to
$000 per annum is exacted for a house which
let for $400 live years ago, and was high
priced at that, it is clear there is cause to
murmur. Property-owners may protest that
they j'cannot help to rise," but, saying so,
they insist on it, and pocket the money. One
might aa well be plundered on the highway
as robbed in tliia manner for downright
robbery it is the money being lost, at any
sate.
When necessary articles ran np in the re
tail price, we protested against it. The price
of butchers' meat was trebled during the
war, owing to the demand for it to feed the
army ; but the war ended nearly two years
since, and the great army was disbanded
nevertheless, the price of meat has only
slightly gone down, and that within the
last ten days. Why should we pay seven
teen to eighteen dollars for a barrel of flour,
which was considered dear, six years ago,
at seven to eight dollars On what ground
can tho charge of seventy cents for a pound
of butter (Philadelphia market price on
Saturday) be exacted by the farmers or by

been raised to twelve cents a quart for a
miserablo thin fluid. In the samo way, ve
getables are nearly thrice as costly as they
used to be, and as they ought to be. Tho
result is, whoever has to market for a house

the plainest, to buy what could formerly be
obtained for five dollars. Whose income

The cattle-disease which caused such loss
in Europe by its ravages, and especially in
England, did not affect this country. The
supply of horned cattle, by which, indeed,
lite price ot at! animal loot! is regulated, lias
been large and steady all the time, and the
army consumption ot oeet aud pork Has
dwindled down to a minimum : yet, amid
this abundance, animal food is twice as deer
as it ought to be. It may be alleged that
there are taxes upon food. There are not
high taxes, but thoroughly unjust. What
Peel, but the courage and' good sense with
which, though doing it invoked the penalty
of losing office, ho swept away the taxes
upon food and retained the taxes upon lux
uries. Here when the novelty of war taxa
tion was introduced, tliero was a grand op
portunity of following this example and
adopting this principle.
But those who passed our system of war
taxes apparently knew nothiug of what had
been done, and well done, elsewhere. I tie
fiat was tax everything, from the lucifer
match, w ith which the poor housewife lights
her scanty fire, and the mean food of her
husband and children which she prepares,

drawn by a span of two-ihousnnd dollar

he prevents the poor mechanic, who vege

tem of taxation ought to be revised, and, at
one tell swope, eteru wnpost upon the nece
nark of life ought to be uMUhed.

cially the falleu heroes ; an obligation that
could only be partly met by the most ample

Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 20.
Governor Worth's message yesterday to
the Legislature, after discussing purely local
affairs and their hopeful aspect, then declarea
that law and order exist at all points ; civil
authorities' are adequate to the punishment
of all offenders ; that justice is meted to all
colors. He opposes negro suffrage, the
Howard amendment, and recommeuds that
the Northern States encourage the diffusion
of freed men in their midst. He saya that
everything seems to invite emigration to the
dominant States, but most of tliero are too
poor to pay the expenses of moving. This
difficulty may be overcome by diverting ap
propriations to sustain the Freedmcn'a Bu
reau to dclajiy the expenses of those who may
choose to move.
Each one will choose a State or Territory
to which he wanted to go. When left free
and aided to go where they may think their
condition bettered, no ground will be left
for further sectional strife ns to their govern
ment rivil and military authorities harmo
nious.
The balance of the message was devoted
to the suppression of crime and pauperism,
taking care of tbe poor, the apprenticing of
negro children, and the election ot Lmtcu
States Senator, the military academy and
tbe like.
W. E. Peel was re elected State Printer,

TonosTO, C. W., Nov. 15. The citizens
of the Province are beginning to inquire if
their jails are to bo used as hotels tor the

of escape by the Crown authorities, who are
anxious to be rid ct the 1'enmus now con

Orders '-...ebecn received from Ottawa
to discharge thirty of the Fenians. The
Crown authorities are afraid to discharge
that number at one time, as the prisoners

this city.
The sentence of death in the cases of the
Fenian prisoners Lynch. McMahon and
others is to be commuted. This is positively
