FOU CORONER, URIAH SOBER, of Shamoklu. Eleetion, Tuesday, November 2nd. OCR neighbor of the Dcmocmt is resort ing to all kinds of plans to throw dissension into the Republican ranks for the purpose of electing bis Ring candidates. His state ment, that dissatisfaction existed as to some of the candidates named, is so ridicu lous that those living in the neighborhoods where he locates the dissatisfaction are per fectly astounded to find that a man preten tious of character and honesty should at tempt to give circulation to such falsehoods. To those who are better acquainted with our neighbor it is not astonishing at all, and many of the best Democrats say that they would be surprised if they would hear of even a single individual believing him when it is known that no such dissension existed in the Republican ranks anywhere. Greenbacks. It is said that Hon. F. W. Hughes of rottsville, is the author of the financial plank in the late Democratic platform adopted at Erie. . As this plat form pledges the Democracy in favor of a greenback currency, in preference to gold and silver, we should like to know if Francis sli'.l holds to the opinion he enter tained during the war, when he declared that lhe time would come when a bushel of greenbacks would not buy a bushel of potatoes." If our old friend has changed his views in regard to the relative value of potatoes and greenbacks, he should say so, and jiive the Republicans credit for the introduction of greenbacks, for which the Democrats arc now 60 clamorous and greedy. If he has not changed his views, then he has doue a great wrong in recom mending the circulation of a currency which he has declared not worth its weight in potatoes. The leaders of the parly will not, of course, require any explanation. The man dates of the convention is a sufficient war rant for thtir action, aud if the platform had recommended a potato basis instead of a gold one, they would have applauded the wisdom of their councils. 'Such an event would be a perfect millcnium for some edi tors, and our ueighbor of the Deniocrct! would be in his element and found revelling chin deep in the new currency. ... Oca neighbor of the Democrat has again changed his views on the financial ques tion. A few mouths ago he denounced greenbacks as worthless rags, and not worth the paper they were printed on. Xow we find him iu favor of the worthless rags" in preference to gold. He says: Ve like the fiuancial part of the Erie platform as well as any other part of it. It is not at variance with a gold basis but really demands that when the Government undertakes to 'coin' money from paper that there shall be no other money that is aoy better not even gold itself." Won't the Democrats of Northumberland county be astonished to find their leader contra dicting his own words. Consistency thou art a jewel ! ilc. Ueitz has saved the county thou sands of dollars since he has been commis sioner. Democrat. It has generally been conceded by both parties that Mr. Rcitz was a mere nonentity in the Commissioners office since he was elected, aud that he to-day does not know enough to save the county a dollar if he were not prompted by the other commis sioners. The attack on Mr. Rohrbach by the Democrat last week is calculated to make that gentleman votes, as every one who has transacted business with him, whether Democrat or Republican, will have a better opinion of him than they would of the edi tor of the DemncnU or his candidate. As an officer lie is not excelled, and as a citi zen and genlleroau not a word can be ut tered against him. All are treated with reect, and no partiality is ever shown by him, which cannot be said of some of the officers who were placed in that position by the Ring, of which the editor of the Demo crat is the leader. Uxdeh Democratic rule in Pennsylvania the farmers and householders paid 1,500, 000 a year of State tax, and the great cor porations almost escaped taxation on their vast wealth. In 18CG the Republicau par ty urged the repeal of all State Lax on the farms and homes of our people, and the taxation of corporations iu their stead. The Railway Monopolies ordered their creatures in tlie Legislature to defeat this just law. In obedience to this command Cvrss L. Persuing, afraid to offend the railroads, and too cowardly to stand by the farmers, ran away from the House of Rep resentatives and "dodged" the vote, -See te'jutlatic Record 1866, page 231. i The Main election baa resulted iu the polling of a very large vote, of which the major part of the increase has been on the Democratic side, so that the Republican majority io the State is diminished consid erably. SUU the increased Republican vote has elected the Governor, the one Uougrea uiaa to fill a vacancy, and a large majority in both branches of the Legislature 9 in the Senate and 20 in the House. The latest lie being circulated by the King candidates aud their calelitcs is that it cost 18,000 to paint tlie Court House last year. Col. Hekdrick U. Wright, of Wilkes burro, has been appointed Chair man of the JVniocrati: Stale Central Committee, as a compromise between contending factions. Col. Hoyt, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, is from I he same place. Charley Ross. The impression in Philadelphia seems general, that the lost boy is still alive, and that he will be restor ed to his parents at no distant day. The editor of the Watsontown Record is learning rapidly through his teacher, the Rins Master, who presides over the Demo crat. The equals of the two editors far boldness in lying to deceive the public is scarcely exceeded anywhere. Last week the editor of the Iiccord dips into the coun ty finances and tries to make a big thing out of the expenditures of the counfy of 1864 and 1874. He says we submit the two following accounts without further com ment here : 18C4.

Total Deduct Difference in the 5 Items 4,750 46 Had our cotemporary been disposed to dca'. fairly he would have commented upou the above figures, but then perhaps ha feared his trickery would have been expos ed. We have not examined whether his figures are correct or not, but it strikes us that they are very damaging to his argu ment. In the first place he states that in 1764 the expenses of the county only amounted to ?1G,G20 23, and iu 1874 70, 718 84. It must be evident to every tax payer that the expenses of the county have been considerably higher than he states for 1804, and that they have increased annual ly. But suppose the expenses were but 816,620 23, which every one knows to be untrue, why was it that the Demcratic offi cers paid interest on a county debt? It must look strange to every tax-payer that in 1804, that with but 510,020 23 of expen ditures, the county indebtedness increased, while in 1874, under the "management" of Durham and Vastine, the expenses amounting to 570,718 84 and a Democratic couuty debt of some $20,000 in addition should be paid off. We judge that the tax payers would prefer the management of 1S74. Wo also learn that since 1874, under the management of the Democratic board, the county indebtedness has been run up to about 15,000, aud that the treasury is ex hausted, and the money is again left in the hands of favorite Democratic collectors. Maj. J. II. Adams. Since the nomina tion of Maj. J. II. Adams, for Sheriff by the Republicans of this county, the most favorable notices are given by papers where that gentleman is known. Below we copy two from Snyder county papers where the Major is well and favorably known. The Freeburg Courier says : "We congratulate our friend Maj. J. II. Adams, of Shamokin, upon bis success iu being placed at the head of the Republican ticket as the nominee for Sheriff of North umberland county. The Major is a true and devoted Republican and his nomina tion is therefore a deserved compliment at the hands of his parly. He is possessed of good business qualifications which, togeth er with his intercourse with a large class of people in his county for a number of years, make his chances of election very flattering. We trust his nomination will be followed by an overwhelming victory in November." The Middleburg Pott adds : "Maj. 3. H. Adams, of Shamokin, Nor thumberland county, has beeu nominated for Sheriff of that county by the Republi can party. Mr. Adams is a gentleman in every respect, strictly honest in all his transactions, and in our opinion no more popular nomination could have been made. OCR neighbor of the Democrat is hard to please. When Democrats are in office he will not allow them to give any patronage to Republican papers. The AMERICAN has not had auy thing from Democratic officials except what they were by law com pelled to give us, and then he entered his protest. Now we find him complain be cause the Republican officers do not give him their patronage. Have a little com passion on your neighbors, Jake ? Other folks would like to live as well as yourself. OCtt neighbor of the Democrat appears to be gctling into disrepute wilh his party by his ranting and misrepresentations of the Republican candidates. They fiud that he is doing his party an injury, and they do not wish to be classed with his Ring, who are trying to get control of the offices by lying. There is a move on foot to ask him to resign his position as Chairman of the County Committee that their party may be saved from defeat and ruin. President Grant's Next Message to Congress. A dispatch from Long Branch to the Boston Transcript says : There is good authority for saying that President Grant is well pleased with the present political outlook. For the past few days the President has abandoned the reticence for which he is usually remark able, and hasnot hesitated to express bis views of current events freely among his friends. Under all circumstances President Grant believes the people will be compelled to recognize the democratic party as a party of inflation and repudiation, and the repub licau party as the friend of resumption and of the pre servation of the national honor and credit. The issue of next year's cam paign eays the President, is already made, and has been hosen by the democracy. In his message to Congress, wheu a democratic House of Representatives will have the privilege of considering bis recom mendations, he will set forth as strongly as he possibly cau the depressed and suffer ing condition of the business and commerco of the nation, aud will direct ntleutioo to the necessity of taking measures to estab lish the currency on a souud basis by pre paring for resumption under the existing law in 1871). to which he will say we alone can look for a restoration of confidence and credit and a revival of trade. An Outside View ok the Pennsyl vania Platform. The Jloslon Post (Dcm.) says of the finaucial principles euunciatcd in the Erie platform : The proposition of making the Federal Treasury a bank of issue, even with no sort of Constitutional warrant for the Federal emission of paper, is too thoroughly and completely anti-Democratic to he for a roo ceut seriously entertained. It would be the longest stride towards centralization that could be taken, far surpassing any of the financial dreams of Hamilton. Local conventions, in which loose notions on the currency temporarily predominate, may pass as many of this sort of resolutions as they will ; it affects in no way the deliberate and permanent doctrine of the Democratic parly, which must eutirely change its char acter before it can adopt dogmas which the experience of the civilized world has repudiated again and again, and can never be persuaded to accept for sound princi ples. . - - Samuel Caru, James Cardiue and a boy were killed by the explosion of a thresh sug machine boiler near Terra Haute, In diana, on Thursday. TnE Grangers on Piollet. The Farmers' Friend, the leading journal of the Grangers, is our authority for saying that Victor E. Piollet's attempt to barter their votes away to the Democratic party for the sake of an office for himself, is not only a betrayal of his trust as a leading Granger, but a violation of the Constitu tion of the order he seeks to betray (by making it a political tnacbiue), but a posi. live and apparent injury to the cause of the "Patrons of Husbandry." For the paper, from the reading of which we reach their conclusions, announces itself as the "only organ of the Order in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia." It says : That the nomination for State Treasurer was entirely unsought by Brother Piollet, wo know from a conversation had with him four days previous to the meeting of the convention ; and wether he will accept the honor tendered him wc have not yet learned. Col. Piolkt has been nominated by a Dem ocratic Convention as a Democrat. That he is a representative farmer and a leading man in our order, may not assist him iu the campaign, but it should not injure him. Having said this much, we dismiss the matter from further consideration in our editorial columns. Our order is not politi cal, and its organ tcillnot advocate the claims of any party nominee for office. And a correspondent, who signs himself 'D.," from Montoursville, Lycoming county, speaks very plainly of this proposed betrayal of the Order by its 44 Worthy State Lecturer, Col. Victor E. Piollet," as the following extracts from his letter show : Our order in these parts has been nearly at a stand still for sometime. There arc several imputations our order will have to free itself from before it will prosper as it has in the past, prominent among which is that of being a political machine- This argument has been used against us for some lime ; now, however, with better grounds for the supposition, as I am sorry to say, tee find one of our had ing State officers in the field, taking an active part in prjlitics. Even this not all ; for hardly was his nomination known until we saw in several political papers that he was the "Grangers1 candidate," and that he was nominated to catch the "Granger clemenL" Aotn we do most earnestly pro test against the use of tliese terms ; because1 it is doing us an injury, and is damvginq our order to such an extent, from tchicfi I fear tee shall not soon recover. Already we have heard it charged by prominent members, that our State Lecturer, Brother V. 2 Piolkt, has been wing as to further his olitical interest. Knowing, as we do, that he has been in politics, makes it appear that such might be the case. Certainly, had he wished to do the fair thing with us, he would not hold the posi tion of Slate Lecturer, but would have resigned long en: this ; thereby removing part of the political stain wilb which we are branded ; Ihough we say nothing against his workings as an officer of the State Grange (tor he has doue a great deal - i . i. . r hiwhiu iuc success "i uur cause;. ici, even with all this in his favor, we fear this last move will injure un ten-fold more than all the good he may have accomplished. Therefore, we think it is no more than just that he should resign the position he occiqries, even at this late day ; and by the act show us that he is not trying to drive us into politics, which is a violation of the principles of our order, and our constitu tion. These are the sentiments of many "Grangers." . D. Which, it strikos our view, is a trifle rough on Bro. Victor E. Piollet, as well as on the Democracy, to whom that worthy Brother is endeavoring to trade off the whole Order of the Patrons of Husbandry. A CHEAT KEPI BMCAX SPEECH. We give below extracts from the power ful speech delivered by Hon. Edward M'Pherson at Reading ou September 16lh and call especial attentiion to them. They are from a carefully prepared effort on is sues with which the oralr is peculiarly familiar, and for the exhaustive discussion of which he possesses extraordinary fitness. As Clerk of the National House of Repre sentatives for many years, and as the edi tor of "M'Pherson's Political Manual" a work of high authority with all parties he is admirably lilted for the task he has undertaken in portraying truthfully the bistory of issues now in controversy, and the attitude of both the great parties on them from their advent until this hour. In speaking of Judge Pershing's Legisla tive record, be says : "It is said that Judge Pershing's ser vice in the Legislature was such as to commend him to the people, both for its personal integrity and its political recti tude. Of this the people can better judge when the record is examined, as it no doubt will be. I have no charges to make involving the former. It is of the latter only that I propose to speak. If the peo ple, after considering iu, approve it, their basis of judgment will differ from mine. "I find that iu the Legislature of 1803, his party being in the majority, he was guilty of the inhumanity of voiiug for a bill to prohibit colored persons from coming into the Stale to make it their temporary or permanent residence. In the same Legis lature he voted for resolutions denouncing President Lincoln's emancipation procla mation as unconstitutional, aud his other acts uuder the war power as arbitrary and unjust. As if to give emphasis to his love for slavery, we fiud him in the Legis lature of I860 resisting the ratification of the thirteenth amendment, and voting against that first aud greatest conquest of the war iu these immortal words : "Neith er slavery nor iuvoluulary servitude, ex cept as a puuishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the Uuited Stales or auy place subject to ils jurisdiction." "To crown this amazing subserviency, we find him in the Legislature of 1806 votiug against the resolution instructing our Senators and requesting our Represen tatives "to resist the admissiou into full fellowship as States of any and all the Slates lately iu rebellion unlil the organic law of the nation shall be so ameuuded as to protect the credit of the Government ; to prevent the payment of any debt incur red by rebellion ; to define the paramount authority of the General Government ; to protect all persons in all States in their rights before the law ; to prevent coinpen sation for emancipated slaves, and to es tablish an equal basis of representation, and thus secure to the nation the just fruits of the war inaugcrated wantonly by trea son." "Upon tliese principles the fourteenth amendment was based. Judge Pershing was not in the Legislature when the for mal vole ou the ratification was taken, but wc have a right to assume that he was as hostile to these conditions when thus for mulated as before. So that if the people of Pennsylvania have a pride in the absolute freedom of our whole people as conferred in the thirteenth ameiidmeut, or have a sense of security under any of the farreach ing provisions of the fourteenth amend ment, no part of their gratitude for these is due to the Democratic nominee for Gover nor ; but all are enjoyed in spite of his efforts. Having the disposition betrayed by these votes, it was, of course, easy for him to oppose, in the Legislature of 18C4, the hill giving the soldiers in the army the right to vote in their camps. Willing to be guiity of so great injustice to men who were actually battling for the preservation of their Government, it is not surprising that he should have found a reason in 1863 for voting against an act to prohibit cor porations from paying their employees in orders upon stores, aud in 1SU5 for votiug for an act to make the employees of rail road corporations responsible for accidents, instead of the corporations themselves. "To state this record is to convict him, during the struggle of the war, of the interest form of partisanship, and to con nect his name with those refractiouary efforts which, if successful, would have made the war ou our part a useless and a criminal sacrafjee of blood and treasure, and would have covered this generation wilh shame and opened for posterity the floodgates of misery. "In the face of such votes it is impossible to deceive the people of Pennsylvania into believing him a proper man to reward with the highest honor in their gift. Cla mor may do much to becloud the public judgment, and false claims may for a time mislead, but the stern test of actual fact will dispell every cloud and correct every illusion." In referring to Gov. Hartranfl's military and civil record, he gives the following : "While Jud,e Pershing in the Legisla ture was seeking to deprive the soldiers in the army of the dearest right of the citizen, and thereby weaken the cause of loyalty and strengthen the hands of disloyalty, Hartranfc was baring his breast to the foe and extorting praises from all men for gal lantry iu the field. A grateful people upon the advent of peace called him into their civil service, where he has been knowu and read of all men from that day to this. For the last three years he has discharged the most difficult and delicate duties which they can impose upon any citizen ; and yet a couyention of his oppo nents, as able a body as ever assembled under that banner, were unable to find a flaw in his career, and adjourned without taking issue upon a single act of bis Ad ministration ! Not that they would not. if they could, but because they could not thus, perforce, paying him the highest tribute ever paid within my recollection to any Governor in Pennsylvania. The peo ple cannot fail to uote this signihcent fact. which is a confession in advance that although they oppose his re-election, it is from other causes than those tor which he is responsible, aud which have their origin in the desire for the possession by them selves of the power of his great office. much mistake the feelings of the people if they will, without reason, repudiate a faithful officer to give place to any aspirant however shrewdly selected and however boldly foisted on his party." Referring then to the arraignment, by the Erie convention, of the management of our State finances, he continues : "The only resolutions in the Democratic platform which refer to State affairs are the fourth, fifth and sixth, and they are limited to the State Treasury and to the denunciation of the present State Treasur er. As he is not the nominee of the Re publican party for that office, his record is not in the issue, but it is only simple jus tice to present, in reply to these charges. such lacts as have beeu officially developed, The fourth resolution censures the State Treasurer tor neglecting to appropriate the moneys in the Sinking Fund to the pay ment of the public debt as rapidly as required by law ; but the Commissioners ot tbe sinking t una, consisting of Messrs. Quay and Mackey (Republicans,) and Mr. Temple (Democrat), who have charge of these moneys, ast month held a meeting and made a statement to the effect that five hundred and eight thousand and eighteen dollars aud twenty-six cents were all the obligations of the Slate now due or which may be called at her oplion, and that there were but four hundred aud fifty-seven thousand four hundred and eighty-three dollars and eight cents (4o7,4SJ 08) in the Sinking t uud applicable to this pur chase, and although the amount in hand was Gfty thousand dollars ($50,000) short of the amount due, they uuanimously resolved to give notice of the payment of tnem, interest to cease on the first of November next. How much more rapidly these moneys could have been appropriated than they have been the Democratic Con vention have failed to tell, nor is it easy to sec. I am informed, as I believe credibly, that upon the payment of these particular bonds there will be no others which the State will have the option to pay unlil the first of November, 1S77 ; so that, to-day, all are provided for which can be provided for within the next two years." He then refers Mr. Francis Hughes, the critic of Republican financial management. to the manner in which the Democrats conducted affairs wheu the Treasury was in their hands ; and this biting review is given : "I will refer him to a significant piece of financiering of which he could hardly have been ignorant then, though he may have forgotten it now. The year 1803 begau wilh a debt less cash in the Treasury of 540,152.264 37. Iu December, 18n3, it stood thus : Funded debt $40,500,279 54 Cash borrowed from bauks in June 1853, aud unpaid hi tbe end of the year 590.000 00 Total f 41,150,279 54 Less eiis-li 111 Treasury, December, 1853 .. 724,417 35 Actual debt $40,431,812 19 "It will bo observed that this temporary loan of 80'JO.OOO was made in tbe mouth ot June as a temporary loan and was not paid during the year, and yet we find that the following balances were in the Slate Trea sury at ilia end of each month during tbe last six months of that year : June 30 f ;,07S.8s7 90 July 31 l.S0t,Guu 05 August 31 1,179,95)0 30 September 30 1.200,5113 37 OoloberSl MlC.llO 02 November 30 - 724,417 35 "For part of the time the balance on hand was more than double the amount of the temporary loan, yet it was unpaid, interest accrued upon it, and the Common wealth derived no benefit from the balances. Is it ungenerous to suggest that some one else did, or this amazing folly could not have occurred t It appears to be a curi ous coincidence that the presiding genius of this system of nuance should have been the head and frout of the Erie Conven tion." A plainer hit was never made. While Hughes attempts to make it appear that Republicau officials were speculating with mopeys of the Slate, while constantly applying these moneys to their legitimate use and reducing the State debt, he is con fronted with the proof that his party ac tually borrowed a half million, thus need lessly increasing the then stupendous debt, expressly to bring idle money into the Treasury to be used in private speculation, and that Hughes participated, as Secre tary of the Commonwealth and a member of the Stoking Fuud Board, iu the rascally transaction! Mr. M'Phcrsou now comes to a part of the discussion of which he is an accepted master. Replying to the charge in the Erie platform that the panic is the cause of a contraction of the currency, and that the Republicans con tracted it, he says pithily : "One of the first financial steps taken aflcr the war was for the contraction of the currency, ihe Secretary of iho Treas ury, at the first session of Congress, hav ing strongly urged the necessity of it. Within two weeks the House of Represen tatives responded to that recommeudation by the adoption of a resolution cordially concuinngin tbe views of the Secretary, and cooperative active actiou to that end as speedily as practicable. That resolu tion was adopted by the enormous vote of one hundred and forty-four to six, but one Democrat voting againct ft among the affirmatives so well known names as Syd enham E. Ancona, Benjamin M. Boyer, John L. Dawson, Charles Denison, Philip Jobuson, Samuel J. Randall and Myer Strousc. In four months Congress matur ed aud passed April 12, 1866 the act authorizing a retirement and cancellation of ten millions (10,000,000) within six months, and four millions (4,000,000) in any month thereafter. Upon this bill there teas but one Democratic vote in opimiiion. In the Senate the negative vote was exclu sively Republican, both our Pennsylvania Senalor (Buckalew and Co wen) votiug in favor of it, with the Democratic Senators generally. Under this law, thus passed, forty four millions (44,000,000) were retired in the next two years, up to 1868, leaving the amount in circulation at the time of the panic in 1873, three hundred and filly six millions (356,000,000.) After that the Secretary of the Treasury, claiming the lawful tower, reissued twenty-six mil lions (26,000,000), bringing the amount up to three hundred and eighty-two millions (382,000,000), iu July, 1874, or about eigh teen millions (18,000,000) less than the maximum amount. One would hardly suppose, from the violence with which the contraction thus far made is denounced, that entire force of the Democratic party in Congress was arrayed in favor of this measure. But this is not all. Early in 18G8 Con gress intervened to suspend contraction, and by law so directed Feb. 4. Upon this bill, which pased the House largely, I see the Democracy of Pennsylvania arrayed themselves in opposition, not one of them voting to stop contraction. The names of Getz, Glossbrenner, Randall and Wood ward have, every one of them, the ring of hard money. A large part of the session of Congress of 1874 was spent upon it. After long dis cussion an act finally passed both houses fixing the maximum amount of United States notes at S450.000.000, which would have involved an authority to reissue S18, 000,000 more than were then out. and au thorizing the issue of $45,000,000 to na tional banking associations to be distribu ted among the several Stales. This bill, which was a measure of inflation, and on that ground was vetoed by the President, did not receive the support of a single Pennsylvania Democrat, so that if the country to-day be suffering from the effects of a contracted currency there is as much responsibility for that result upon the De mocracy ot Pennsylvania as upon any other portion of the country, through their representatives, and their attempts to shirk it and fix it upou others, parlake of the nature of a disreputable trick. He then depicts the calamity that would 'octal the country if the Democratic demand for tbe extinction of tbe national bauks be carried out. And this is good reading for those who have had about enough hard times, and desire to see the country pros per a:aiti. The scheme involves tbe collection in a summary wav of the nine hundred millions of dollars (900,000,000) due the banks by borrowers, which would cause a commer cial distress such as this couutry has never seen or any visionary ev.r conceived. It would involve tbe withdrawal and distur bance of enormous amounts of investments in trust and otherwise, to the probable loss of large portions of them. It would require the withdrawal and sale of the five hun dred millions ($500,000,000) of Govern ment bonds, held by the Government as security for the circulation, to make them, if the market be depressed thereby, a cheap prey for foreign capital, thus increasing by thirty millions (30,000,000) of gold au- nually our indebtedness to Europ ; or if not luiiy that, to stagger our own market to the great depression of all the other se curities upon it. It cannot be pretended that the charge could give us a safer cur rency than we have, for what security can be better than that now required for bank cirulation ? Its sole purpose appears to be to tear up, as if in anger and revenge, the system now existing, made necessary by the war and regulated by the nation, and to substitute for it tbe anle-bellum system of State banks, under their exclusive regula tion, to be more or less secure as State legislators . may determine ; to lecomc, possibly, again a fruitful source of corrup tion in State capitals ; to magnify thereoy State authority and increase State power ; to become a barrier in the path of the Gov ernment, as the old State system was at Ihe beginning of the war ; todelv its power, to refuse it help, and to sneer at its'appeals. For one, having learned something by the war and by the struggle the Government had in the dark days of 1861-02. 1 shiil never consent that the Uuion shall lose the grip it now has upou the money power, but shall insist, that, for the public safety, it continue to supervise it, to control it, to tax it, and to make it a servant to the peo ple. With free banking established as the law, '.here is no room for interference by the Government with the volume of the currency, and therefore with values. Therefore it is clear that philospby of this Democratic scheme is the same which ani mated that party and ils measures before, during, and since the war to this hour in all things the idea of tbe provincial, the separatist, the unnational, as distinguished from that inspiration which makes or this people one nation ; which binds to that nation all its'parts, with all their functions, and which, while recognizing the rights of the States and invades no part ot their proper jurisdiction, yet demands for tbe equal good of all aud for the safety of all, and for the integrity and the purity of the system itself, that it shall have one head, and that Ihe Union, instead of being dis cordantly controlled by the various States. This arrogant demand of desperate, politi cal gamesters has its origin in the jealousy and haired of everything national, which distinguishes the Democratic party. North and South, and which shows itself on every hand in ill-concealed efforts to drag the ualion back into the narrow ruis m which it moved before the war, when ils feeble ness called forih its foes, and wheu its nakedness was the pity of every patriot. This scheme, as pui forth, was mauifestly inteoJud to pander to the dangerous pas sious of meu, to 6llr up strife between capi tal and labor for political profit, aud reck lessly to toy with the spirit of discontent which misfortune produces, and which, when aroused to desperation by the cunning suggestions of malice, ofieu runs to great excesses. The whole platform can be best described as a dangerous, detestable, and covert assault upon the safety of society aud upon the best interests of all classes, and the duty of patriotic and fcrveut resist ance to it is as clear as when we where called in 1861 to save the nation from the direful effects of the long-lurking poison of secession. A young lady living in Pittsburg was accidentally shot tttrogh the head by a companiou who found a revolver iu a chest during house cleaniug. The wounded girl will probably die. Carl Shultz is to make nine speaches in Ohio, during the present canvass, ia sup port of a sound currency. The first by in vitation of the merchants of Cincinualti, will be delivered in that city on the 27th inst. Kansas has a surplus of nine million bushels of wheat. England wants it all and more loo. The large building at the southwest cor ner of Broad aud Walnut streets, Philad elphia, is being turned into a hotel for Ceulennial visitors. The sophomores of Lafayette college have been indulging in the Iunatical violence of "hazing" younger students, and four of the leaders have been suspended. Ou Thursday two of the four were escorted to the depot by other students, the "parting guests" riding in a barouche drawn by four while horses, and a cornet band mak ing mnsic. The Pennsylvania Democratic platform says the Republicans have contracted the currency ; the New York World, a Dem ocratic organ, says that "the volume of currency of this present year is larger than ever before, and has been in dated 873,000, 000 by President Grant's administration." One of the two is lying ; which is it ? The Erie Democratic Couventiou totally iguored the Pennsylvania doctrine of pro tection to American industry. It croaked in its platform about the general depression, but had not a word to say in behalf of the system under which, with sufficient cur rency, relief is alone to be found. The reason for this is to be found in the fact that the parly is committed to free trade, and has abandoned the professions it used to make of devotiou to the protective sys tem. Pershing and Piollet are both free traders. The way the story got afloat that the doors of Governor Hartranfl's stable, at Harrisburg, where made of walnut, at a great cost to the State, is thus explained : A Democratic country editor was in Har risburg some time ago, and iu the course of his travels around the streets he noticed an engine house, and made inquiry of a fireman to know what kind of a building it was, to which the fireman replied that it was Governor Hartranfl's stable. His eye sight not being very good, especially on this occasion, he was very easily imposed upon. The doors of the Governor's stable are made of oak aud painted with the com mon fire-proof paint, and they where there at the time of his election, Correspondence. out m:v yuhk letter. POLITICAL WHO REPRESENT NEW YORK tlX TIIE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN TION BEECHER-TILTON MOTJLTON AND THE GRAND JURY BUSINESS AN OLD SWINDLE CP AGAIN TIIE FAST MAILS. New York, September 21, 1S75. POLITICAL. To 6elect candidates for positions so re sponsible as Governor of a great State, and State Prison Inspectors, Canal magnates, etc., would seem to require the best men of a city so interested in good government as is New York. A glance at a list of the delegates to the Democratic State Conven tion at Syracuse from a majority of the districts in this city is enough to sicken one, and make one doubt whether, after all, the idea of self-government is not a failure. Who are the delegates ? The men of char acter, those who have a stake in the city and State ? Not a man of them. In one list of thirty delegates published last Mon day morning, twenty-eight of them are Irish keepers of the lowest drinking-houses and bucket-shops in the city, whose places are the resort of thieves, prostitutes, and ruffians, and all under the ban of the po lice. These men, who would be thieves themselves hut far the fact that it is more profitable and safe to plunder thieves than to be actually in the profession, go to Syracuse to represent the Democracy of New York, aud to make State officials. The party is worthy of ils representatives and the representatives are worthy of the party. Morrissey, who was kicked out of Tam many, was possibly the least objectionable of the lot ; but he has men in his delegation for whom hanging would bo too good. The Republicans of Ohio and Pennsyl vania, who are sore-headed over trifles, and are, by their apathy, fastening the Demo racy upon their States, ought to live here awhile that they might appreciate fully what Democratic rule means. Tbey ought to live for a year or so under the domina tion of Irish rum-mill keepers, of ruffians, thieves, and blacklegs ; they ought to pay the taxes we have to pay, and put up with robbery of the most barefaced description ; they ought to live under a goyernment run entirely in the interest of one class, and that the worst one, and they would go home ready and -willing to take off their costs and go to work for the only party that makes a pretence of uecency and hon esty. Were I a citizen of Pennsylvania I should esteem a visitation of yellow fever as less a damage to the State than a year of Democratic rule, for as it is here so it has been everywhere that parly has had power. BEECHER-TILTON. The Beecher-Tilton nastiness is not over yet by a long ways. It will be remembered that at the beginning of the muss Beecber procured an iudictmeut against Frank Moulton, Tilton's friend, for libel in charg ing that the said Bcechcr had been guilty of adultery with Tilton's wife. This in dictment still bangs over Moulton. Yes terday. Britton, the State's attorney, offers to Moulton a withdrawal of the indictment on the ground that the late trial settled all tbe points at issue. Moulton indignantly rejects the offer. He says that he is indict ed for a crime of which he is innocent, and demands that the case go to trial. Beecher wants it dropped, and it was his friends who influenced Britton to make the offer. The cat under the meal is this. In the late trial Mrs. Tiitou could not be brought upon the stand to testify, because she was the wife of a party interested, but in this trial her husband is not interested, and she cau be compelled to testify as to what she knows of the matter. Mr. Moultou wants to get her on the stand, to put her in tbe hands ot acute lawyers, who will sift her he wants to compel her to testify openly as to what she knows of her letters aud Beecher's letters, without private instruc tion. Moulton has blood in his eye, and he intends to follow up this trouble till he ends it one way or the other. It is easy to understand why the Beecher party are willing to let the scaudal drop, aud just as easy to understand why Moulton is not. He demands a trial on tbe charge of libel, and he is willing to have the world know whether he libelled Beecher or not. I 'don't see how Beecber cau afford to avoid the issue, aud therefore there is to be a re vival of the uaslinesB. Let us hope that therial won't last as long as the first did. Beecher returns to the city this week, his friends signalizing his resumption of labor by a grand testimonial ovation at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Tiitou commenced bis big lecture tour last night ai Port Jervis, N. Y. He had an immense audience aud was heartily greeted. He speaks this season two hun dred consecutive nights, twice in New Y'ork and Brooklyn. Of urse he will draw immensely. BUSINESS. I am exceedingly glad to be ablu to re port a decided revival of business in the city. The country merchants are here in force from Maine to Texas, aud while they are not buying with anything like Ihe free dom of former years, they are doing de cidedly better. Instead of merely sorting up, a majority of ihe country buyers are purchasing stocks. Twenty-five houses reported yesterday that they were making larger sales than lust year at this time, by twenty per cent., and that payments were never belter. No one expects the large, rushing trade of former years, but it is gratifying to know that there is any increace. Money is plenty in the city for those who have proper collaterals, though it is almost im possible to get al it on anything but city securities. It is a thousand pities that a portion of ihe vast sums lying idle at this lime iu Ihe city could nol be placed out side, where it could be used to advantage. AN OLD SWINDLE REVIVED. Do you remember the old sawdust swindle ? Were any of your acquaintances ever bitten by the adroit swindlers who in fest this city, doing their business through the mails? Look nut just now, for the Elias Brothers, who are the most taleuted men iu the profession, are at it again. These men are Israelites, aud what they don't kuow iu the way of getting a dollar without returning it, isu't worth kuowing. Beside the sawdust swindle, they have fathered the bogus lottery schemes, the watch distribution scheme, the Milton gold scheme, and tlw great majority of the swindlers that have for ten years depleted the pockets of the credulous. And now they turn up again with what they call a "General Average Sale of 4,000,000 worth of goods aunually." They propose to sell you a sealed box which will coutain goods varying from 1,000 diamonds all the way up to 5,000 camel-hair shawls, for any price you choose, from 5 to 50. It is curious, but even this bare hook will be swallowed by thousands, as have all the bare hooks these fellows have drop ped. The Elias Brothers laugh at their dupes and laugh at the police. They run a swindle till it becomes too notorions, and then they devise another. The police go for them, but they beat the courts. They keep in their employ a well known firm of criminal lawyers, to whom all their schemes are submitted. If they are of a nature that exposes them to the law, they are altered and amended, the point being to keep just within the law without injur ing the swindle. You see, they have it down to the finest possible point iu fact, they conduct their swindles on business principles. Please put your readers on their guard against these fellows. Their circular they sent out 10,000 of them yesterday is adroitly written, and would almost deceive the elect. They show how they cau give two dollars for one, and make money by doing it. TUE FAST MAILS TO THE WEST. The inauguration of the fast mait trains from New York to the West, is hailed by the business men of this city as the most useful reform of this generation, and grate ful pcans are being sung to P. M. G. Jew ell. A train leaves this city every morn ing at 4:15 a. m., it reaches Cleveland at 7:30 p. iu., Toledo 11:27, and is in Chicago the next morning. It takes and leaves mails all along the route. It is a glorious and a good thing. The business men of Chicago is only twenty-four hours from New York 1 But the terminal points and the points along the line are not the only ones benefitted. At Cleveland, four tons of matter were left for the roads connecting there, and at Toledo, the principal railroad centre between New York and Chicago, thirteen tons were left. The country be tween Cleveland and Indianapolis, and the country penetrated by the fifteen lines that centre at Toledo, reap tbe incalculable ad vantages of this fast mail service. I pre dict that it will be found so useful that spe cial fast mail trains will be put upon all the trunk lines in the country. The experi ment has proved an unqualified success. TIIE WEATHER. At last the autumn is here, and New Y'ork is again endurable. The days are pleasant and the nights are delightful. The people are returning from tbe summer re sorts, fashion disports itself on the streets, and the city is taking on its wonted gay ap pearance. And what is better, the health of the city is improving daily as it becomes cooler. The babies don't die so rapidly now, and the sick poor begin to crawl out to find life in the bracing air we now have. New York is delightful now, and will be more so in a week or two. Pietkq.
