TnE Democratic Nominees. The
Democratic candidates put io nomination,
ou Monday last, are the weakest thai could
have been selected. The candidate for
Sheriff, Mr. Strinc. is a good citizen, and
excellent neighbor, but has had but little
experience as a thorough business man,
and is considered incompetent for the of
fice he is seeking. His record as one of the
roost encom promising Democrats during
the war and since, gives him no claim on
any Republican for support, and his late
action with the crusaders has also added
to bis unpopularity. It is presumed by
Democrats, however, that he might have
made a Sheriff if he had been elected when
he first ofTereu himself as a candidate
about twenty years ago.
Mr. W timer, the candidate for Protbono
tary, has had thirst foi office for a number
of years, and repeatedly when defeated in
conventions by his own party.he would look
lo the Republicans for consolation and of
late years, it was uncertain whether he
would continue to be a Democrat, as he as
sisted strongly in trying to defeat candid
ales of that party. Many of the consistent
Democrats have lost confidence in him,
which will be hard for biui to restore.
The Treasurer, Mr. Dissinger, hails from
Lebanon county. Knowing that there was
no chance tor office there, he came here to
teach the old Democrats of Northumber
land county what Democracy is.' He man
aged to get into the Ring, and has been one
of the main managers for several years
past. As the office is one from which the
Ring expect favors and support, a desper
ate effort was made to cheat better men in
the parly out of the nomination. lie ex
pects to be elected by the volets of the
Mahnnoys, because he can speak German.
We expect our friends in the lower end
will be much edified with his speeches,
which be is exacted to deliver. No doubt
he will U-ll them that there were no persons
in that section of the couuty qualified to
fill the office.
For Commissioners the present incum
bents, Rcitz and llcnrie received the nom
ination. While the former is acknowledged
by every one wbe has Itad business in the
oflice to be incompetent for the position, he
was selected to make up for the defeat of
the Treasurer candidates from that section
i f the county. Mr. Hem ic is somewhat of
tin improvement ou the first, and would
have been defeated had the Ring candid
ate for SHeriiT succeeded.
Tor Auditor, Capt. John McElice, a
prominent Irish citizen from ML Carmel
township, wait selected to ease off the friend
of Mr. Graham, who was a prominent can
didate for Sheriff. McElice will bo defeat
ed by his preteuded Democratic friends.
His colleague, Mr. Ilottcnstinc, is so well
known as the "mule auditor" last spring
that no one will dispute his election. lie
U the right man for the Ring, if not for the
iicopla,
JoUa V. Taylor, for Coroner, will pro
bably be elected, as be is a great expounder
of the 'constitution, and what be don't
know about that instrument would Gil a
large book. lie knows all about Jackson's
Democracy. He will be heard to advocate
ail the Ring candidates as far as the hu
piau voice can reach.
Tl New York World, in its effort to
compel tins Pennsylvania Democracy to
march up Lo the hard money standard, is
telling some very plain truths, in a decided
ly cutting way. It says : 'The Democratic
party is either a thing of shreds and patches,
or it is a party with fixed principles and
established traditions, which have ibe
warrant of experience and the approval of
reason and common sense.' This means
that it must be a unit on all questions. It
must either accept the Ohio doctrine en
tire or repudiate it wholty. 'In 1872,' it
sorrowfully says, 'we went into the contest
for the Presidency with the best cause that
ever a party bad, but with a candidate who
represented nothing (apart from 'clasping
hands across the bloody chasm'), except
what was antagonistic and repulsive to De
mocracy, and with a platform that resem
bled the farrago of a beggar's basket.
The natural, inevitable result was a defeat
both crushing aud humiliating. We ate
no end of dirt, and got nothing by it only
kicks and contempt. We hurrahed for
Greeley and elected Grant. We disgraced
ourselves, and were trampled in the mire
by the triumphal procession ot our adver
saries. r' The example furnished is rather
a bad one. The Democracy were sufficient
ly united on the surf:e, but they were so
palpably hypocritical that the country re
fused to trust thetn. We have now a ques
tion to ask, based ou the above: If they
were untrustworthy in 1872, when they
joiued hands with the Liberals, are they
more trustworthy now, wheu they are for
i Dilation and hard mouey both ?
Tug fight among the Democracy, iu
view of the approaching State Convention,
is quite refreshing. It shows that the an
cient spirit of the uulerrified still exists.
Where their is a battle to be faught, wheth
er ial lite common enemy, or among
theiimjlve, their spirit rouses, and the
aucicut lire revives. Wallace, for the j
litue being, is the ruling spirit of the oc-'
casion. but there is a kree rebellious tie-
ment. Kast and West, and it is not so shure j
that he will succeed in earring his mens- j
urea entire. (Should he fail, his prestige ;

Ington as a Seualor of small account.
Thus thr motive, and thus the fight
Tub Democratic County Conven
tion. The Democratic Convention, on
Monday last, was probably the most ex
citable one ever held in this county. The
struggle lietweeu the Ring and thoBe who
were not acceptable, was the fiercest we
have ever witnessed. There -j ere 14 can
didates for Sheriff; 6 for Protbonotary ; 7
for Treasurer, aud 11 for Commissioner, to
be disposed of, aud after an exciting pri
mary election in the different districts, on
Saturday, it was evident that no ordinary
struggle to grasp the offices would ensue.
The Ring which controls the Democracy of
of this county, however, were prepared
with their slate and had their plans well
laid. The fact that the Democratic Coun
ty Committee had selected the. candidates
two months previous, and it became known
that Wm. M. Weaver had been selected
for Sheriff', David Dissinger for Treasurer,
and J. J. Auten for Prothonotary, made
the other aspirants work the harder to
break the slate, and the contest was then
between the candidates in the Ring, and
j candidates who wished to get in. harly
j on Monday morning our streets began to
j present a lively appearance, and the candi-
date corner, below our office, was chosen
i as the spot to decide what should be done.
J. E. Eichholtz, D. C. Dissinger and L.
Shipman of the Ring, were on the ground
and worked faithful in trying to convince
the delegates that no pre-arrangemcnts
had been made. We conversed with a
number of delegates who were entirely ig
norant of what the result was likely to be.
Some of the delegates, however, soon learn
ed that there were ways dark and deep,
through which the naked eye was unable
to pierce. Many of the districts having
been advised not to instruct their delegates
and await instructions when they arrived
here to attend the convention, began to
feel an uneasiness.
On the arrival of the Shamokin train
which brought the Ring leader, the pro
gramme for ballotting was at once arrang
ed, viz: that when the lowest candidates
were dropped the delegates were at liberty
to vote for their choice. A few, however,
rebelled and declined such an arrangement
which was tho signal for another struggle
in the convention. When the convention
was called to order by J. E. Eichholtz,
boss of the county committee. Major W.
L. Dewart was noticed to take a front seat
aud occupied a conspicuous spot bo that
Bome outsider might nominate him for
chairman of the convention, and the Ring
would not be blamed of having arranged it
previously. This bad the desired effect
aud the Major was nominated and elected.
On takiug the chair he indulged in remarks
which were altogether characteristic, ot
his previous services in the Ring. He
claimed that the Democratic party, as well
as its members were all honest, and that
the Republicans, without exception, were
unscrupulous and dishonest. All who
have heard the Major's speeches in the
past will readily understand that he is not
responsible when excited, and on reflection
has, no doubt, already regretted it, as the
general opinion among honest Democrats
was that such language was uncalled for
and unwarranted, and one prominent
Democrat took occasion to call him "a d d
fool.-'
A recess was taken until after dinner,
when they again met and at once pro
ceeded to ballot for Sheriff. Several bal
lots were taken without any change. The
Major then annouueed that the rules of
their party was to drop the candidate hav
ing the lowest number of votes ou each
ballot. Here was the signal for the dele
gates to gradually fall iu for the Ring can
didate. The delegates, however, refused
and ballotting continued until the ninth
ballot, when a break was made, and Wea
ver began to increase his vote. The Ma
hanoy delegates refused to be brought over
and stood firm. Considerable excitement
prevailed at this stage of the proceedings,
although the Major, with gavel in hand,
hammering on the desk vehemently de
manded eilcuce. The Ring members look
ed defiantly at the Mahanoy delegates. On
the 12th ballot it became so glaring that
there had beeu a pre-arrangement, that
many became disgusted and one delegate
ieft the convention. On the 13th ballot
the list of candidates was cut dowu to two,
the Ring candidate, and Mr. Strinc of Mil
ton; the latter 'having the inside track. It
was seen that unless a desperate effort could
be made to change the Mahanoy delegates,
the Ring candidate would be defeated.
The Major arose and announced that no aj
plauso would be allowed after a nomina
tion was made. On the 14th ballot Mr.
Strlne received a majority, and the mem
bers of the Ring became nervous and some
looked pale. The Major arose to announce
the result but was unnerved and came near
losing his balance, but recovered himself
atid in a nervous tone announced that Mr.
Strine was the nominee.
The announcement struck terror into
the Ring while a number of delegates made
a hasty retreat out of the Court House.
The Ring candidate for Treasurer, wanted
to make the spectators believe that the
delegates wanted to make the trains, got
up and offered to 6end them home if they
would only 6lay to vote for him. They
did not return, however, and the nomina
tion for Prothonotary was announced lo be
in order. J. J. Auten, the Ring candidate
and his brother, botu candidates, declined.
Having previously offered to do so if the
candidate for sheriff should fall oc that
side of the river. The offer being made ou
the expectation that the Ring slate could
not be broken. Mr. Weimer was then
selected over Mr. Reimensnydcr, which
gave considerable dissatisfaction among
the delegates from the lower end, on ac
count of Mr. Weimer's proceedings two
years ago in try ing to oust tlm Democratic
candidate for Treasurer, and let a Repub
lican in the office. Next came Treasurer,
but the Ring bad already concentrated all
their forces for their candidate. This was
the most important office in their estima
tion for certaiu purposes, The candidates
presented from the lower end were doomed
though acknowledged by everybody that
either Mr. Wciser or Mr. Tresslcr were
the best fitted and had the best claim. Mr.
Dissinger was nominated, although com
paratively a new comer iu the county, and
the old members of the party were forced
to stand back because he was better ac
quainted and can be used to better advan
tage by the Ring. After the nomination of
Treasurer it was easier to nominate the
Ring candidates for County Commission
ers, as a number or delezates had left in
disgusl. The present incumbents were
renominated to the great surprise of every
body, as it is well known that others were
to take their places.
To couclude the farce of forming a tick
et, the "mule" auditor, Mr. Hottenstine,
was hung on the tail end of the ticket for an
other term, and to show that the Riug is
not ungrateful towards the Irish, they put
Capt. John McElice with the "mule" for
County Auditor. A most worthy Irish
gentleman, Mr. Graham, was presented
for Hherift, but he stood nochance with the
Ring, and iu order to heal the matter with
the Irish the Captain was selected to as
sist in bringing up the rear. Capt. McElice
is a good man, aud would make an excel
lent officer, but we doubt whether he will re
ceive the support of the Ring.
At the conclusion everything was con
fusion aud curses loud and deep were heard
on every side. Many of the proceedings
that arc to be published were omitted in
the convention. Any oue looking on in
the convention could not help but conclude
that the J)emocratic party in Northumber
land county,conducted by its present lead
ers was getting into a very demoralized
Mate,
A Great Hood iu and about Tama-qua-
Thousands of Dollars worth
of property detttroyeti.
About four o'clock Wednesday morning
a furious rain storm, which was also felt
in this vicinity, burst upon Tamaqua and
the country in the neighborhood. The
Hem of last evening thus describes the
storm :
"For over an hour the rain descended in
perfect torrents, and it is probable that the
quantity of water which fell was never be
fore equalled in the same length of time in
this vicinity. In an incredibly short time
the insignificant Wabash creek, was swol
lcu to the proportions of a roaring torrent,
and careered along, black, turbid and seeth
iu, resistlessly carrying before it every
obstacle, devastilating gardens, inunda
ting cellars, aud causing very consid erable
loss and damage.
We might fill coluiii'is with the details
of iudividual losses. The cellars of all the
stores on tho north side of Broad street
were iuundaled, aud all loss more or less
in some cases very considerable by the
daiuagiug of stocks of groceries, &c. Per
haps the heaviest loser in this way is Mr.
Louis K. Schwartz, whose store is at No.
23 West Broad street, corner of Berwick.
We have beard his loss in sugars and other
groceries, estimated as high as three hun
dred dollars.
All the underground restaurants ou the
lower part of West Broad street, were com
pletely submerged, and all the proprietors
suffered more or less damage or loss. In
Harry Ray's United States restaurant,
which had just been remodelled, renova
ted and tilted up in splendid style, there
must have been at least five feet of water
The billiard tables were lifted off their feet
and floated, but fortunately sustained no
serious damage. The Germauio, corner
of Broad and Berwick, under Schwartz's
store, the Grand Central, corner of Broad
and the railroad, the Railroad restaurant,
under the Columbia House, and others,
were all drowned out and compelled to
suspend busiuess.
We cannot possibly fiud space lo record
the losses in provisions, &c, suffered by
private families, but scores of them lost the
whole contents of their cellars, and were
compelled to send out their market bask
ets to procure the necessaries for a break
fast. It has been commonly supposed that the
dwellers upon hill-tops were secure from
danger by flood ; but in this instance some
of the greatest ravages of the storm were
experienced on the high grounds about
town. On Spruce street below the corner
of Hunter there is abundant evidence that
the water must have rushed down in a
perfect deluge, At this point for a distance
of perhaps fifty yards ou the South side of
the street a gully has been washed out
some five feet deep, and had the roaring
torrent continued much longer it must
have washed the foundation of the resi
dence of Mr. G. W. Hadesty. Some of
the high streets in the North ward also
cougbt it severely--notably Pitt street.
Here the cellars were inundated by the
rush of water from the bill and streets
above, and a resident informs us that his
loss, which he says is a fair criterion of
that of many of his neighbors, will reach
fully fifty dollars, in provisions, etc.
But by far thogreatcsl damage was suf
fered on the Tamaqua branch of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey. For a dis
tance of two or tluee miles between this
city and Bull Run the road is almost de
stroyedbridges swept away, culverts
washed out, rails twisted aud bent, tracks
washed away and covered with debris of
every description. The officers of tbe
Company express tho opinion that it will
require at least three days time to put the
toad in such a condition as to permit the
running of trains." Miners Journal of

Bigoted Bkctes. On Wednesday
morning. Lawrence Tierney aud his wife
were brought before K. McMaluui, Esq., on
a charge of cruelly bealiug their daughter
Hargaret, a girl aged about fifteen )'ears.
A large number of witnesses were examin
ed and from their testimony it appears,
that on Tuesday evening, Margaret was at
tacked by her parents, (Tierney says by
his wife, and Mrs. Tierney says by Law
rence,) and most shamefully maltreated.
Her wrist was dislocated and she was beat
en about the body and stomach so badly
that the Doctor pronounced her unable to
appear before the Justice to give her testi
mony. Neither Tierney nor his wife gave
any reason for their cruel treatment of the
girl, but she herself says it all arises from
the fact that she associates with Protestant
girls of her own age, her former school
companions, aud they are afraid she will
become a Protestant. The Justice held the
pareuts iu two hundred dollars bail to an
swer the charge at court.
To those who are unfamiliar with the
bigotry and intolerance of Catholicism, it
seems almost incredible that parents could
proceed to such leuslhs merely because
their children associated with Protestant
children. But the blind followers of the
priest-ridden church of Rome, stop at noth
ing when they see real or imaginary danger
to the Holy Catholic Church. The ties of
blood aud the claims of humanity are alike
set at naught, and everything, however.
atrocious, if done in the name of the
church, is considered just and right, aud
brings its own atonement and even reward.
Aside from his bigotry, Tierney has ahvayB
been considered a peaceable and law-abiding
citizen. It is hoped that the law will
administer a rebuke to him and his wife
which will render them more obedient to
the dictates of consanguinity and humanity
and less subservient to the bigoted behests
of their priest-ridden church. Miltonian

The green corn season is at its height,
and everybody is enjoying an abundance
of this delicious vegetable. The sweet or
sugar varieties are much the best, and
large quantities of the latter are being
gathered for drying for winter use. It is
one of the best articles that can grace the
table in the winter season, at a time wheu
it is very difficult to command a great va
riety of vegetables.
On Tuesday of last week a dog belong
ing to Wm. A. Iean, Esq., of Le wis town
ship, Northumberland Co., attacked a three
year old boy of Mr. Bctz, (Mr. Dean's
farmer) and before he was taken oft' bad
bitten the little fellow very badly. One
ear was nearly torn off and the head was
very much lacerated. Dr. Treon dressed
the wounds and thinks the child ma' re
cover. The dog was never regarded as
vicious in the-least aud it is hard to assign
a cause for the attack on the little child.
W'atiotntoira Jkcord.
Advices from thirteen couuties in differ
ent parts of Wesconsin show that there
was a frost on Sunday morning Rnd a
heavy frost on Monday morning. Corn
suffered great damage, and reports come
from some places that three-quarters of it
is killed. Tobacco, of which there is a
large acreage in Keokuk, aud Jefferson
counties, is total'.y destroyed. Hops,
buckwheat, potatoes and all vines on low
lands are badly injured. The weather
was cold and the prospect good for another
frost the following night.
A BLOODY NIGHT NORTH OF
THE MOUNTAIN.
It would be a task impossible even for
the traveling correspondents of the sensa
tional papers of New York city, to over
draw the horrors which Saturday uight
precipitated upon the people of the Maha
noy Valley. It was indeed a horrible
night when even a child might understand
that the devil had business on his hands.
Two dastardly assassinations aud one case
of manslaughter, besides several cases of
lesser crimes, were the devil's harvest. " At
Girardville possibly the most heinous crime
of the short, but bloody list, was com
mitted. A good citizen and a mild, inof
fensive man was murdered in the person of
Thomas Gwytber, justice of the jwace.
Saturday tbe men in the Mahanoy Valley
received the first pay of any cousequetice
since the strike, and the result was that
Girardville in the evening was crowded with
men in various stages of intoxication. The
rougher element among them grew absolute
ly rampant and defiant of lawful restraint.
Gangs of them went about the streets,
flourishing revolvers. Though there special
policemen they were powerless and cowed.
One of the gangs of roughs was led by a
man named Hoary, who was heard to ex
claim, as he flourished his revoler : "Give
me a man to shoot. I'll kill the first man
that iusults me." In their travels this
gang went to Jacob Wendel's tavern, and
jostled a number of men in the bar-room.
Hoary struck a man named Slitzler(?).
'Squire Gwyther was sitting in the room at
the time, and to him Hoary's victim ap
plied for a warrant. Before matters could
advance any further here, AVendel put
Hoary and party out, and then let the
'Squire and the complainant out by the
back way. They went to the 'Squire's
office and he had begun to write out a war
rant for Hoary's arrest., when that individ
ual and his gang entered the office, threat
ening to kill both the Justice and the plain
tiff if the wanant should be issued. They
were got out and the door locked. The
warrant was properly made out, and the
'Squire stepped out to look for Hoary. He
was standing near his own door at the
corner, when he saw a man a few yards off
with a levelled gun. His daughter also saw
the man, and cried out, "For God's sake,
don't shoot father !" Almost immediately
the gun was fired, the contents taking
effect in the breast of the Justice, and in a
short while causing death. The assassin
fled and escaped. A man named Thos.
Love was arrested on suspicion, but he
proved an alibi aud was released. Subse
quently it was ascertained that the ass'issin
was Wm. Love, who is missing. It is be
lieved that he is concealed in the neighbor
hood by his friends. Naturally so bold a
defiance of law and so dastardly a murder
created the most intense excitement in the
borough and vicinity, where the victim
was known aud esteemed. W. G. Gwyther
offers a reward of $100 for the apprehension
of Wm Love. The county authorities
make the sum $G00.
GOMER JAMES BUTCHERED.
At Shenandoah a cold and premeditated
murder was committed, if the information
that we could gather by wire or by person
al interview is correct. The motive of this
assassination is to be sought in the events
of the past. Ou Monday night, August
11th, 1873, a Welshman named Tom Jones
was assaulted, knocked down and beaten
by a man named Edward Cosgrave, in
Shenandoah. Jones' friends ran to his
rescue and among them was a young man
named Gomer James, a Welsh miner. In
the trouble which followed, Cosgrove was
shot and killed, James was accused of his
murder, arrested and tried. The testimony
at the trial was not sufficient to convict him
and he was acquitted. His escape incensed
CoBgrove's friends, who believed him guilty
and threats were made to take his life.
Saturday the Rescue Hook and Ladder
Company, of Shenandoah, held a picnic,
which was well attended, and which was
run far into the night. Gomer James
somewhere about 11 o'clock was attending
bar at this picnic, and a number of men
came up. They asked for beer and while
James was drawing it, he was shot and
killed. In the darkness and confusion the
assassin escaped. Of course this cowardly
murder created a tremendous hubbub at
the picnic aud spoiled its pleasures.
A dispatch from Shenandoah, received
Sunday evening, says : Gomer James was
shot last evening, about 12 o'clock, at the
picnic grounds at Hcckscher & Glover's
Grove, the ball passing through his heart,
embedding itself in his back near the skin.
Dr. Quail, Coroner, assisted by Drs. Rea
gan and Byers, held a post mortem exam

nellcd the following jury : T. J. Foster, R.
Stacker, Lyani Bloom, George A. Herring,

LAWLESSNESS AT MAHANOY CITY.
The usual results of a large pay were
visible in Mahauoy, Saturday night. There
were numbers of drunken men on the
streets, and a lawless spirit seemed to ani
mate sonic of them. There were several
encouuters in a fight which cost the life of
an innocent citizen. A disturbance arose
at Philips' Pottsviile House, on Ceutrc
street, between 'Bully Bill' or Wm. Thom
as, and a man named James Dugan. Both
men drew revolvers, and fired a number of
shots at each other. Which fired the first
shot we could not ascertain. Thomas was
iu an intoxicated condition. He received
a bullet in his left check, where it now is.
A man whose name is given as ChristaiH
Zimmerman or Christian Brctihower, who
was standing across the street waiting
for his wife to come out ot a store where
she was shopping, received a bullet through
his left lung. It was takeu out of his back.
Sunday Dugan was arrested and held by
'Squire Comrey in B0O, for an aggravated
assault and battery on William Thomas.
Thomas was arrested and committed by
'Squire Groody in default of S1800 bail, for
an aggravated assault and battery on Du
gan. He was lodged in the county jail
Sunday by Officer Gorman. So it appears
no one has beeu arrested for the killing of
the innocent man.
A man whose name we did not learn re
ceived a flesh wound in a leg during the
ehootiog. A man named 'Carney' Shoe
maker, while standing on his own door
steps, was assaulted by a party of young
men. He was struck ou the head with a
billy, aud had au oyster knife stuck into his
his back. His injuries are not serious.

Physicians are of tho opinion that the
coming autumn will be particularly uu
healthy, owing to the heavy and almost
continuous rainfall, for weeks past. It
will serve to cause an earlier decay of vege

malaria. Unless we shall have better

we will have severe fevers this autumu.

the Great failure.
One not in the secret of business arrange
ments, and not entirely conversant with
business morality, would really feel very
sorry at the failure of a banker or merchant,
particularly if the said banker or merchant
had long enjoyed the confidence of his fel
lows. In imagination we picture the man
waking up some morning and finding him
self unable to meet his engagements, and
we fancy the anguish that tears him almost
limb from limb. Then comes the sheriff,
the eviction, the giving up of the grand
mansion, the taking of humble rooms, the
humiliatiug search for employment, and all
that sort of thing. That used to be the pro
gramme some years ago, but it isn't now.
Duncan, Sherman & Co. failed a few
weeks ago, but there wasu't any anguish
about it. They proceeded deliberately to
shove out all the letters of credit they could;
they put acceptances on the market wher
ever it was possible ; they gathered in all
the deposits they could ; they turned over
all their real estate to their fathers and
wives, and then in the coolest and most dig
nified manner possible they announced their
"inability to meet their eugagenicuts,"and
each member of the firm retired to his
country seat. There are hundreds of ruined
men who had their all in the hands of these
sharks, but that doesn't disturb the serenity
of Duncau, Sherman, or the Company. Mr.
Duncan has the grandest palace on Stateu
Island. His magniticeut mausion stands in
the center of forty acres ; and within that
mausion there is silver-plate and furniture
enough to buy a county in the West. The
richest conservatories, the most delightful
grounds, an array of servants, horses and
carriages without number, all these things
Mr. Duncan has always enjoyed and always
will. If you should suggest to him that this
place ought to be turned over for the beue
Gt of his creditors, Mr Duncau would laugh
in your face. That isn't the way they do
it. He has an income, fixed and secured,
enough to keep up the establishment in the
same hospitable manner that has always
distinguished it.
How did they fail ? Easy enough. Their
own money safely put away, they took
that of the other people who placed it in
their hands and speculated with it. Their
speculations resulted adversely, and they
went under. And, would you believe it,
there is but one newspaper in New York
that has dared to characterize this thing as
a villainy only one. On the contrary,they
all expressed sympathy for the firm! There
is little teraptatiou to an honest life when
the rogue gets all the sympathy. If swin
dled depositors would occasionally hang a
scoundrells bauker, it would have an excel
lent moral effect on the business.
JOHN MORUISSY.
The pugulist, gambler and leader of De
mocracy, don't propose to be killed as easily
as Kelly and the other Tammanyites would
wish. The fact is, John is strouger than
Tammany. He has an immense following
of the lower classes of Irish and Americans,
and he can coutrol more caucusses than any
man in the city. With this strength at his
back, John objects to being counted out as
a man of no account. He wants his say in
matters ; he wants his share of the offices ;
be wants his dip Into the Treasury; in short
the short haired John wants to be a leader
of Democracy. So when Tammany struck
him, he struck back, and Tammany was as
tonished at the force of the blow. As the
Democracy are very likely to split, there is
a remote possibility that the Republicans
may get control of the city at the next elec
tion. I say remote, for somehow the
many factions of the Democracy have a
trick of coming together when the spoils
are in danger. But let us hope that their
angry passions may be aroused sufficiently
to enable the decency of tbe city to have a
show.
POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
The city takes a very lively interest in
the Ohio election, because of the peculiar
position of the parties. The stand the De
mocracy have taken for inflation has awak
ened a feeling here against the party that
finds a very free expression. The best
Democrats here pray for the defeat of Allen
and his ragiuoney. New York is suffering
more from the geueral depression in busi
ness than any of the cities, and they all
know that inflation would be a temporary
relief, but they know also that settling day
must come sooner or later, and as they are
part way to it, they prefer to hold on till it
is here. What they want is something

the hospital barge of st. joiin's
GUILD.
Mention was made last year in these let
ters of the excursions for sick children, sent
out by the active and wise charity of this
noble association. Thousands of ailing in
fants and their mothers twice a week went
out iu the bay in the steamer chartered by
the Guild, and the days spent in cool pure
air, away from the fetid, stifling dens they
inhabit, were the only things that stood be
tween these little lives and death. The
statements of tbe health officers show that
the decrease in infaut mortality among
the poor is no imaginary result of senti
mental charity. Probably twenty-five per
cent of the sick childn reached by this
aid owe their life ant7 altli to these hours
of pure air. Thisy the Guild was able
to own a barge, fitttJ up as a floating Hos
pital with every convenience for the sick,
and every pleasant day it carries out a load
of patients away from the heat aud smells
of the city into the blessed coolness and
brightness of oceau. A better work, more
truly becoming the name of Christian, was
never doue in our cities. It is much the
fashion to pity dwellers in large and crowd
ed cities, but if interior towns would take
the idea of similar sanitary measures, it
would tell greatly ou the epidemics which
are increasing weekly this fatal season.
There is better chance, for the poor iu New
York, Boston and Philadelphia to-day,
with the close inspection of health officers
aud sanitary rules, then in the und rained,
untended outskirts of a manufacturing vil
lage, in shanties sandwiched between the
wash of a stream, which is the common
sewer of the township, and littered streets,
odorous with garbage and Jamestown
weed. By the way it would have percep
tible effect on the fever and ague aud the
typhoid, that hold carnival this rainy year,
if there were a general mowing of herbage,
and clearing up of streets and waste places
in rural towns. These things poison whole
neighborhoods.
HOME AGAIN.
The railroads aro crowded wilh visitors
to the summer resorts, driven home by the
wet chilly weather. Tbeie is no fun sitting
on wet verandahs in the evening with a
blanket shawl aud overcoat, or shivering in
vast damp drawing-rooms, and dressing by
fires while the raiu pours against the win
dows. Rheumatism is too dear at $4.50 a
day. The great desideratum, as the school
ma'ams off duty always say, is uot so much
a cool place as a dry one, and a sunny one.
The present is not a cheerful season, look
ed at from any point. The cold spring
killed the cherries and small fruits. It is
hot and rainy iu town ; cold and rainy in
the country. The news is business circles
i3 of such a nature as to call for courage to
open the eveniug paper, and tfie wildest
prophet had rather bet on Tice's cold
Christmas and October earthquake than
venture to guess wheu trade will be better.
WOMEN'S DRESS.
The difference in women's dress is a
striking comment on the hardness of the
times. The trim figure in debege and
plaid Oxford ginghams that fill the prome
nade offer few of those gorgeous exceptions
in lace and ruffled silk that used to make
gay the pavement before the Fifth Avenue
Hotel afternoons. Money buys three times
as much as it used to. but where is the
mouey ? Women look as pretty as they
used to, even prettier. The subsidence of
the late extravagant styles of hair dressing
and paniers reveals the fact that they were
originally made with some attention to the
Hues of sracc. But the heavy silks and
over-dress of lace, the costly bonnets of
marabout and tulle, and wondoi full combi
nations of traiu, overskirt, aud potif that
struck wonder to the heart of bystanders,
are known no more, .and as as a result
dressmakers aie going out of business by
the score.
TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.
Jay 'Gould, having gobbled the Union
Pacific Road and the Pacific Mail, has
swallowed the Western Union Telegraph
Company, aud is paving the way to take
iu with it the Atlantic aud Pacific, its only
rival. The times we shall have with our
dispatches, when the only wires in the
country are under the control of the most
unscrupulous man iu the country ! Hea
vens I how he will flay us ! Now, with
the lines in active rivalry, telegraphing is
to some points uot more thau four times
what is should be, but when the oyposition
is removed by consolidation, up to the
rates to just whatever point will satisfy the
cormoraut. There is but one remedy for
this, and that is the placing of the tele
graph in the hands of the Postal Depart
ment, just as the transmission of letters is
and always has been. When Mr. Gould's
plans mature, and he puts the screws on'a
little, possibly the poople will Bee it, and
instruct their representatives so plainly
to do it, ihat Gould and his ring
will uot be able to buy them. There can
be just as many reasons given why the
Government should not carry letters as
why it should uot send telegraphic dis
patches. BUSINESS.
is still wretchedly dull, and there are no
slums of its being any better iu the fall. In
fact, busiuess men have given up the idea
of any decided change till next year, or at
least till after the present crop is harvested
and marketed. By that time they believe
the stocks on hand will be exhausted and
that exchanges must commence again.
They are encouraged somewhat by the
later reports from tho country. Despite
the terrible rains, the average production j
will be good, and there will be a fair Eu
ropean demand for it. So buoyed up by
hope they are all taking in sail by reducing
their expenses and holding on till the good
times, so long looked for come to them
again, neaven send that they may not
be too long in coming, for a most terrible
experience the business of the country has
gone through for three long, dreary years.
THE BEECHER-TILTON CASE.
remains in statu quo. Tilton is going for
Beecher once more, but the announcement
makes no sensation. The public here have
lost all interest iu the sorrows of Theodore,
and I doubt if anything can galvanize the
corpse into life. Whenever the name of
either of the parties is mentioned, people
simply hold their noses and don't stop to
discuss. Consequently if the trial ever
takes place it will be of very short dura
tion. It was the interest the public took
in it that prolonged it so before. Let us
hope we have heard tho last of it. pietro.
RENTS AND INCOMES FRUITS THE NEW
POST-OFFICE INFLATION TnE CITY
IN SUMMER FUN AND MONOPOLIES
THE WEATHER.
New York, August 24, 1875.
RENTS.
The position of New York on the cur
rency question is generous, to say the
least, for there is no city in this country
that is so smitten wilh hard times, or that
is suffering so terribly therefrom. In
nothing is this more manifest than in the
matter of rents. A store on Broadway
that, three years ago, would command $12,
000 por annum, and be sought for at that,
can now be had for 0,000, and the owner
thinks himself or herself, as the case, may
be, very lucky to get that- There are
thousands of stores in the city empty, and
holding up rents is simply impossible.
And the same is true of dwellings. In
Brooklyn there are six thousand dwellings
empty, and how many thousands in New
York cannot be computed.
The effect of this upon the retired classes
who have been, and still desire to live
upon their accumulations, is fearful.
Madam Blank, we will say, has a husband
who made his million, invested it iu real
estate, and retired from business, happy in
the consciousness of a certaiu income of,
we will say, 70,000 per annum, which, as
it was all in Broadway stores and eligible
dwellings, could not be lessened or dimin
ished. Madam, her daughters, and her
sons all got a fixed habit of living at the
rate of 70,000 per year. She had car
riages and jewels and dresses as her pro
portion of that sum, aud Maria, Jane,
Arabella, Tom, Alexis, and Ulysses have
always had iheij expenditures pitched to
the same key. Now imagine the agony
of these seven people when the head of the
family announces that rents have so gone
down that expenditures must be cut down
a half that such a carriage must be given
up that such and such servants must be
dismissed, and that pocket and pin money
must be reduced. Madam groans, tbe
girls pout and wonder, and the young gen
tlemen swear great oaths. But they have
to come down all the same, for the money
is not.
The effect of the hard times upon the va
rious classes is something peculiar. The
spruce young man who was wont to buy
his clothes at the fashionable establish
ments on Broadway, at a cost of 125 to
S200 a suit, is perfectly willing to slide
around into the Bowery and get the same
things for 00. True, he says he gets them
on Broadway all the same, but occasion
ally two of them meet in a cheap shop
and the cat get3 out of the bag. Madam
ou the avenue is seen iu Bowery shops,
aud Sixth avenue is getting to be good
enough to trade in, particularly as goods
average about thirty per cent, less than on
Broadway.
The consumption of liquors at the clubs
has largely decreased, particularly of fine
liquors. The swell who once prided him
self npon fifty-cent brandy, is now willing
enough to iuspire his shringing soul with
ten-cent whisky, and the foaming lager at
fifteen cents the bottle very largely takes
the place of champagne at 84.50. Like
wise cigars at three for twenty-five cents,
are fouud to agree very well with those
who were wont to turn up their noses at
anything less than fifty cents. The hard
times are ripping into extravagance, and
in this regard good 13 being accomplished.
L.el us nope tnat the lesson we are now
learning may stay with us.
FRUITS.
One of the phenomena of New York just
now is the abuudance and cheapness of
fruit. Peaches arc a positive drug in the
market. They are arriving by the hun
dred cars each day, the supply being very
far beyond the power of the people to con
sume. More peaches are carted off spoiled
each day than are sold ; and the supply
does not diminish, but is rather on the iu
crease. From Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dehv
ware, and Maryland the luscious fruit
comes pouring in endless, never-failing
streams, and the people revel in it.
There are so many thousands of bushels
arriving daily more than are required, that
it seems a pity that some of them could
not be taken farther North, where the peo
ple would be glad to get them at any price.
And as it is with peaches, so it is with
melons, and iu fact, everything good to eat.
The City is filled with fruits and vegetables,
at very low prices. Consequently only the
best is used, and the children of the poor
are happy and healthy. Were it only a
little less hot, New York would be a de
lightful place to live iu just now. Certain
ly one can get anything one wants to eat
very easily and cheaply.
THE NEW POST-OFFICE,
The new post-office, which has been un
der way for several years, is now almost
finished, so nearly that it will be occupied
for postal busiuess the 2Sih of this mouth.
It is probably the finest building for the
purpose in the world, and has been built
at less cost to the Government. It is sit
uated at the junction of Park Row aud
Broadway, in the very heart of the busi
ness of the city, a position at ouce strong
and convenient. The packing of the books
and papers for the removal has already
been commenced. The work will bo com
menced on a Saturday night, and it is cal
culated that the trausfer will all be made
before Monday morning. The efficiency
of the service in the City will be greatly
increased. The old Post-Office was for
merly a church, altered for the purpose,
and a more dingv, inconvenient labor
making place could not be conceived.
Now, every possible facility for quick,
thorough, and effective work Will be had,
and the postmaster and his employees will
he happy.
INFLATION.
As I said last week, the business roeu of
the City are greatly exercised about the
Ohio election. They are opposed, without
distinction of party, to inflation, and there
fore they most earnestly desire the defeat
of Allen, the Democratic inflation candi
date. The various commercial bodies of
the City will, before the election, issue an
appeal to the citizens of Ohio, to kill infla
tion by their votes, that the country may
ret into a fettled financial condition as
soon as possible. Wm. Allen, running in
the State of New York, would be beaten
300,000 majority. Tbe feeling of the Dem
ocracy against him is intense.
THE CITY IN SUMMER.
The terrible heals of July over, this
city is far from being tbe most intolerable
place to be condemned to for summer.
One appreciates it after coming back from
the hard beds, scant blueberries, and num
erous extortions of country hotels and
boarding-houses, to tbe comforts and
peach baskets of this reviled island. There
is a time when the spirit of the old Man
hattancse returns to bis ancient smoking
grounds when the flight of fashion and
frivolity leaves room for his peaceful ,hade
it delights to return and under benignant
August suns, wander through the haunts
where it first held claim where the great
Central depot stands and the iron street
bridges span tbe railway, once where groves
sacred to squirrel-stoning and breeding of
quail. Farther down, where the gray of
rust aud dust begins to show on the mod
ern iron building, once where peach orch
ards and honey hives, and buckwheat
fields white with blossom. Oce may fancy
the kindly shade hovering, well pleased,
over the Crolou market peach baskets filled
with ruddy luscious cheeks set off with
green leaves, or smiling approval on the
clear blue waters of the ample reservior
that gives such unimaginable comfort to
the dwellers in the city. This year there
are none of the significant appeals from the
Reservoir Commissioners to be more spar
ing of the water in the time when it is
needed most. A city a family for the
matter does not only want water to use
but to waste, so that it may be used in the
freest, most generous manner, sluicing
pavements and gutters, sprinkling streets
and grassplots, keeping every corner pure
and sweet, and holding disease at bay by
the bright two-edged sword of cleanliness.
FUN AND MONOPOLIES.
If there is to be very little trade next
autumn, as shrewd ones prophecy, there
will be plenty of fun, according to the
promises held out. The best singers and
actors are announced for the coming sea
son, and it is more than probable that the
managers will have to follow the examples
of railroads, and give the public the bene
fit of there arrangements at reduced rates.
It is true that railways and telegraph lines
are making a desperate fight to heep prices
up, but any return to the old rates must
be only contemporary. Tb r".ay is past
for monopolies to have more than the
briefest success, for the simple reason that
their isn't money enough in people's pock
ets lo pay for them. If there were, the
average American citizen would pay in
creased rales, and grumble to be shure,
but pay while he grumbled. Not finding
the odd quarters wherewith to pay the lit
tle excesses demanded, naturally he strikes
out for new lines that can afford to be of
some use to people.
The kindest thing the existing companies
can do is to put up their prices as high as
possible,, and be quick about i t, for there
would follow a revolt which would for the
future make high prices impossible. The
blessed time is not far off, let us hope,
when the dime will once more be a signifi
cant part of American currency. The day
when a hotel servant will give a respectful
"thank you" for a ten cent fee, will not be
the least prosperous in the countrie'9 his
tory, and perhaps people can afford to go
to consert and opera as it is.
THE WEATHER
is fearfully muggy, but there are symp
toms of a change. It can't come to
soon. Pietro.
What I Know About Vegetlne.

H. R. Steviss, Esq. :
Dear Sir I bare had considerable experience
with the Vegetine. For dyepepsia. general de
bility and impure blood, tbe Veoetine is superior
to anything which I bare ever used. I com
menced taking Vegetine about the middle of
last winter, and, after using a few bottles, it en
tirely cured me of dyspepsia, and my blood
never was in to srxx! condition as at the present
time. It will afford me pleasure to five any
further particulars relative to what I know
about this good medicine to any one who will
calT or address ine at mj residence, 3S0 Athens

Dyspepsia.
SYMTOMS Want of appetite, rising of food
and wind from the stomach, acidity of the stom
ach, heartburn, dryness and whiteness of the
tongue in the morning, sense of distension in the
stomach and bowels, sometimes rumbling and
pain ; costincss, which is occasionally interrupt
ed by diarrhoea ; paleness of the nrine. Tbe
mouth is clammy, or has a soar or bitter taste.
Other frequent symptoms are waterbrasb, pal
pitation ef the heart, headache, and disordered
of the senses, as seeing double, etc. There Is
general debility, languor and aversion to motion;
dejection of the spirits, disturbed sleep, and
frightful dreams.

All Diseases of the Blood.
If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and
cure sacb diseases, restoring the patient to per
fect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, Is it not con
clusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you caa be
cured I Why is this medicine pertorming socn
great cures? It works in the blood, in the eir--rulation
fluid. It can truly be called the GveKi
Blood Twrifitr. The great source of disease
originates lu the blood ; ana no medicine trial
does not act directly npon it, to purify and reno
vate, has any just claim npon public attention.

Dear Sir The two bottles of Vegetin furn-
taucd me by your agent my wife has used wilh
great benelit. For a long time she has been

Vegbtine, for I do not think enough can be said
iu it praise, for I was Cutarrh, and had such
bud coughing spells that it would seem as though .
I could never breath any more, and Vegetine
has cured me ; aud I do feel to thank God all
tbe lime that there is so good a medicine as Vege
tine, and 1 also think it one of tbe best oiedi- '

best medicines that ever was.
