On every eUlo we liear tha cry of hard time, And numerous remedial sug gestions are being every day presented. Democratic editors of small caliber or gross dishonesty, nro busy in their purpose Of creating the IJ1 that out present calnm- " Ity is the result of Uepnblican mismanage ment or dishonesty, while men of brains ' plnco the fault whoro it belongs vie, cxtra Vajpiuce and speculation in stocks. For years past extravagance and speculation have been indulged in, and it was noticed everywhere that sooner or later a crash was inevitable. Kings were formed of cv- ', cry description for speculative purposes, and capitalists anxious to make fortunes in a day, overreached the mark by invest ing in the wildest speculations, while oth ers persistently indulged in extravaganco and folly of every form until the crash came upon us, and the cry of hard times is heard everywhere. By this sudden check in business a great lesson is taught, but how to remedy the presentcondition is a matter never looked after before The JVirio Tork Tribune, in shaking of what can be done, takes the following seusiblo view of the situation : "The hard times of which wo warned our readers are upon us already, and the sigus of them may be read by the moft igno- . rant to whom tho reflex action of capital and labor and of currents of trade arc in scrutable mysteries. They can see that as sudden paralysis bas fallen on business ; that half the meat is left on the butcher's stall ; that the dry goods stores with their purple and fine linen are almost empty of customers at this the busiest scasou of the 3ear ; that rubies and diamonds arc left to blaze unnoticed in the jeweler's cases, and "worst of all, that in every manufacturing itown thousands of unemployed men and 'women arc swarming ready for starvation to-morrow. Tho tuillionaite broker locks up his check book when the millionaire manufacturer comes fur a loan ; and the tradesman's wife draws her odd hundred or two out of tho savings bank and con fides it to a stocking or teapot. Both of them, as indeed all of us, arc quite con vinced that there never was more money in the country than now; better crops, i more foundation for solid prosperity, yet -very tnan looks askance at his neighbor. ' There may be no reason for the panic ; so much the worse ; as a shrewd financier eaid yesterday, 'You can fight a reason ; but this is a prejudice.' Yet there is after -all some reason for the prejudice, or whim, or terror, whatever we may call it ; and we . have to look for it in the factitious basis on whicu all business iias been carried on 'among us lor years ; the fever for specula tion ; the restless ambition which drove every man, aod still more, very woman, to live in a style befitting a larger income than lie or she possessed. That the first great (hi lure was Utat of a man trusted for iliis integrity -and high principle may nc- count for the electric rapidity with which the' chill of alarm peuetratcd through the .country to quiet country towns and farm 'fe4)ses, where great financial operations wesomvkuovvn, but wliere Jay Cooke lite rally represented the religious part of the Government. If there was somethiug rot tea in this part of the State of Denmark, what paTt ia sound ? Who can be trusted ? In that distrust is the secret of the hard times : in no failure of crops or other ra tional cause beyond our owu consciousness of misdoing, Wc stand like gamblers ar rested with the cards in our hands, eyeing each other suspiciously. Perhaps the sus picion may last long enough to teach us an effective lesson. When A will not lend to 1 B. nor C credit D ns far as his week's ex penses, the day of destruction will have come to wild-cat banks, hypothetical rail roads, fraudulent insurance companies. The millionaire will not make us absurd abroad by aping royally, the clerk will be satisfied to live as a cieik, the mechanic as a mcchauic ; the laborer's Beauty wages will go to buy bread, instead of a sleazy silk for his wife's Sunday wear. In short, we shall all be driven perforce to conduct our business on prompt cash payments, in stead of interminable debts on paper to honesty iustead of a sham. Whether when the same is over, and tho money actually iu the country oozes out into its accustom ed channels, we shall go back to our false system to building, each for himself, top pling gilt palaces on sandy foundations remains to bo seen. It is to be hoped that the suspicion aud real, hitins novertv which mauy of us must experience will not fail of their salutary effect, but leave cau tion and fair dealing as their wholesome fruits. In tho meantime, let us urge upon our readers the prompt necessity of rendering the coming pressure as light as possible. It is lo people of moderate means aud tho la boring classes that the panic will cost most dearly, and it is from their domestic lives the cost must come. Much can be dono by the prompt payment of all small bills, and the immediate adoption of cash pay ments in our daily expenses. Hy this means large quantities of currency will bo thrown from these innumerable sources into the under strata of social life, where they are so much needed, and the whole loaJ lifted and lighteued from below. Tub Constitutional Convention ajourned pn last Mouday afternoou to meet at Har r'uburg on the 27th of December next. It completed the constitution which is to bo submitted to lite popular vote of the people. In another column we publish a synopsis. Of Its nitriU and demerits we are not pre pared to speak until we havti fuller report which sv committee is now engaged to sift toe- wheat from tha chaffof the proceedings. If it proves to have manifest merits that w do not now possess in our fundamental laws it will no doubt be approved, but If there Is no marked Improvement over tha old the people will pre&i the ilia we have. BUTilro AT Home Soma idea of the dullness tn large cities may be formed from the suggestions of the newspapers of New York and Fhiladuldhla which invite the the people from the country to make their retail purchases in their cities. There was a time when such invitations might have been accepted, but our city cotemporaries must remember that the country has been progressing, and that retail stores have been established where tho resident popu lation can purchaso more favorably, and more reliably than in cities. The goods are tho same as offered by our city mer chants, and frequently a better article can be had at home at the same price from merchants personally known. Hero is where the local customer has the advan tage, lie knows his merchant. IIo sees him every day meets him in reciprocal business, and has all the protection which such advantages bestow constantly in his control. But in going lo the cities for bar gains tha buyer is made the victim of shar pers, who calculate that his fast appear ance will bo his last, and treat him accord ingly. We have class of retail stores in Sunbury which cannot be excelled any where, and wo are satisfied our fellow citi zens understand tho good policy of trading at home. Tub trial of Udderzook ior tho murder of W. S. Goss, is going on at West Ches ter. The testimony already giveu is very damagitig to the prisoner. It will be re membered that a body of a roan was fouad murdered near Jcnnersvillc, Chester coun ty, some months ago. It was afterwards ascertained that the murdered man was W. S. Coss, of Baltimore, and that he had been last seen in company with Udderzook. Udderzook was arrested, and it soon after was discovered that there was a conspiracy on the part of Goss, Udderzook and some others, to swindle some insurance com panies out of money on policies of insur ance which Goss had on his life, by trying to prove that Goss wns burned to death in a building iu Baltimore. Udderzook was keeping Goss out of the way, but the suit with the insurance companies not ter minating favorably to the claimants for the ainouut of tho policies of insurance, and Udderzook fearing detection and nrrcst, it is alleged that ho murdered Goss lo get him out of tho way. Thk Democratic editors are noticeable for their fairness (!) towards tho Republi cans. If a murder takes place, or a chicken roost or potato patch is robbed, or a man whips his wife, or a wife elopes with "an other fellow," or anything else improper occurs, it is all traceable, in the eyes of these Democratic editors, to the evil influ ences of a Republican administration. And they hammer and enlarge on this idea as if they really expected their readers to believe it. They must have a pooropiuiou of tho intelligence of their readers. In order to play a little joke, the Oil City Democrats elected a colored man to their City Council. The joke in their estimation has been probably carried too far, as tho aforesaid colored individual, whose name is Green, though not very green in fact, has been chosen by hip fellow councilmen to (ill the mayor's chair, vacated by the re signation of that officer. Thasksgivino Proclamation iir Gov. Hahtranft. Governor Ilai tranft unites with the President in recommending tho 27th day of November as a day of pub lic thanksgiving, nnd recommends "that the people of Pennsylvania, shall meet on said day, in their respective places of wor ship, to return thanks to Almighty God for tho manifold mercies he has vouchsafed to us during the past year, aud to implore a continuance of His favor, and to pray that the afllictcd people of other of theso United States may bo delivered from the pestilence which is within their border." Every merchant and all the batiks of New York that have been doing a legiti mate business, and confined themselves within tho sphere of their regular opera tions, are unaffected by the crisis. It is only those who have been wjldly speculat ing, investing in "fancies," and riskiug their mcaus iu "enterprises" fur beyond their control, who are embarrassed and in soro trouble. When bucIi men aro helped out of one difficulty they will rush into an other as soon as tho temptation is present ed. European capitalists are sending agents to this country for the purpose of ascertaining tho actual condition of our railroad improvements, aud the extent of the resources on which new roads just pro jected are based. Theso agents aro men of cxpeiieuee and ability, ablo to investi gate thJ facts involved, and when they make a report, favorable er unfavorable, it always oontrols the investment of foreign capitol. By this system tho credit of the old as well ns the new world will be pro tected. Conouess, it is expected, will restore the franking priviledge. It might just as well as no money is saved to tho government. Each department pays its owu nostaue and a sum is voted to each Congressman for the same purpose. Tho postage on the circulation of newspapers in the County where pnblished should also be repealeb as well as the free exchange of newspapers re stored. The public debt statement shows nn in crease during October of 83,039,000 ; coin balance, 882,313,581 ; currency balance, 81,312,155 ; coin certificates, 827.5ti9,880 ; certificates of depe sil for redemption of le gal tenders, 8.875,000 ; outstanding legal tenders, 8300,052,200. Tho receipt of the iuternal revenue will amount to about 7,000,000 for the present month, a larger sum than was expected by the Commissioner, in view of the eO'ects of the receut panic Tho leading Evaugelical denominations of New York city, talk about reviving the daily prayer meetings which were so re markable feature in every-day city lifo during tlie financial and commercial revul sion, o( 17.

Signed YV, A. Richardson, Secretary. IneeudiuriNiu at I.tfcaaaa, Pa. Lebanon, November 4.-An attempt was made last night to burn this city. It was fired in five different places. The incen diaries, however, only succeeded in burn ing the barns of Josiah Frunek and Henry laudermilch. The loss of the former is $75,000, and of the latter 60,000. In spite of the panic, the number of mer cantile failures iu the country from tho 1st of September to the 224 of October bas been smaller this year than In tha corres ponding period of 1872. This shows bow strong our business men generally are. Destructivb Fire at Harrisburg. Harrisburg was visited by a disastrous conflagration on Wednesday morning, aud the complete destruction of the State print ing office, one of tho finest establishments of the kind in the State, is the principal re sult of its devastating influence. The State Journal printing office was in this building and was destroyed with the rest of the con tents. The employees were in great dan ger, nnd many made narrow escapes, some jumping from the second story windows. No one wns killed or seriously burned or otherwise injured. The loss to Mr. Singer jy, the State printer, is about 8175,000. The building nnd contents were unfortu nately not insured. The direction of fire at first was toward Chestnut street, the consequence of which was that the grocery storo and residence of J. F. Lent, George S wal tz's residence and John Slahli'a tobacco store and resi dence were set on fire. The former was entirely destroyed, and the latter two near ly so. The wind changing F. K. Swartz's stable, J. Relcharl's stable, Mrs. M'cor mick's stable, a house occupied by Mrs. Rosa Paul, a colored lady, were destroyed. The rear of the Lechiel hotel was on fire several times, as was also George Beguer's new brick stable in Blackberry alley. The fire originated in the pager shaving pile iu the cellar near the elevator of the State Journal Printing office building, and is supposed was caused by spontaneous combustion, as there wns no fire near the Since. The total loss is estimated at $600, 00. THE EXECUTION OF WADE I WlLLIAMSPOUT, NOV 0. Wade came from his cell at 1.30 and marched to ilio scaffold as calm and com posed hs if he was going to his wedding. Ho went up the steps of the scaffold with n firm trend. He came before about two hundred peo ple, and made a long speech, iu which he acknowledged his crime aud asked God to forgive him. He made a long address nnd spoke firmly. The assistant sheriff put on the rope and cap, and nfter a long religious role of a par son the rope was cut and the culprit was swung oft'. He dropped lo the ground and tho rope gave way, llic culprit standing and asking to be killed. He implored to God have mercy on his soul. A number of policeman took hold of the culprit and led him up the platform and re-adjusted the rope, and after tying him the trap was again sprung and the doomed man was sent into eternity. The Pennsylvania Canal Company Ins for some lime been prosecting for a site on which to locato an extensive yard for the manufacture of boats. Alter examining a number of places along the line of the canal, ihe company hns fixed on Espy, Lu zerne county. The entire frontage of the town ou the canal will bo occupied for a dock, about a quarter of a mile. When fullv iu opperution, the ynrds will employ 1,000 men. Stokes expected to be acquitted, nnd after he reached his cell iu the Tooins, be gan to berate the jury in the severest terms, for failure to nceept the testimony which he insisted proved his entire innocence of all intent to murder Fisk. The New York Evening l'ost, discribing Stokes in tho Toombs after sentence, says ho has no friends among the officers of that institu tion, and no sympathy among his fellows in crime. The wardens of the Toombs de clare lliey will be heartily glad to get rid or Stokes, because he Is petulent, irritating and iusulling to the last degree of patient endurance, and they assert that wheu he reaches Sing Sing, ho will he a very trouble some culprit. It is possible, Stokes will bo tamed when he gets fairly under way iu serving out his sentence of hard labor. As a general thing the effect of the Stokes trial, particularly in New York city, is regarded us unwholesome ami disagreeable. The Postmaster General has established tho free delivery system at Easton nnd Pottsville, in this Stale, to begin on the 1st of December. Easton will have six car riers nnd Pottsvillo three. The official returns of Ohio elect seven of tho eight candidates on the Republican State ticket by an average majority of 833. Allen's majority over NoYiis8l7 ; but the rest of tho Republican candidates arc elected by majorities from 177 lo 1,754. This proves thai Ohio is still a Republican Slate, and Allen's election only shows 'that ho was personally popular enough to get sufficient Republican votes to barely elect him. John C. Ilctnnn, of pugilistic notoriety, died of consumption nn Saturday week. His death occurred in a Union Pacific Railway train, near Rawliutrs, Utah. Aaiatic t'bolrrii In Cliiua.
