For tbe proceedings of tbe Sena

other column, we are indebted to the
courtesy of the editor of the Bedford
Pre, who kindly furnisrjea us
proof elipin advance of the publica
tion of his own journal.
Mr. Jcstice Temple, tbe Demo
cratic candidate for Auditor General,
npr hoard of before bis nomi
nation out side his own district, and
Las no reccord except that which he
kept when prothonotary of Greene
county. And tbis is tbe man the!
Democrats want to supersede Gen.
Allen in the roost important office in
the Commonwealth, except, perhaps,
tiic office of Governor. Tbe idea that
f -ich a man would work a reforma
tion in the affairs of tbe office and
. ,ld the State Treasurer in check
i- too preposterous to be entertained.
Says the Adams Starar.d Sfhtirtel:
Ten days ago tha whole country
stood on the brink of civil ar. A
tinj:le hour o' irresolution on the part
of President Grant and the tragedy
.f ISf.l would have been renaeled.
Had a Democrat, divided in bis duty
iK'twccn his country and bis party
ronvictions, been in the Presidential
hair, the land to-day wauld almost
surely have been wrapped in tbe
flames of war. Let us see to it in
Xovember that we do our personal
duty in avoiding tbe very possibility
of such a danger. Let-Pennsylvania

determination to stand by the Repub
lican colors until Peace and Order
reign supreme, and tbe Rights of
Citizenship are respected, over the
entire Republic, north and south. Xot
till then will the mission of the Re
publican party be ended.
The Prt&$, speaking of the Demo
cratic candidate for Lieutanant Gov
ernor, says:
When in 18G4 a constitutional
amendment was projwsed to confer
the right of the elective franchise on
Pennsylvania soldiers in the field
fighting for the Union, John Latta,
then in the Senate, spoke and -voted
againbt the measure, doing all in his
power to defeat it. Among tbe reas
ons given fur tbis opposition to en
franchise the soldiers of the Union
was that men who bear arms are not
fit to exercize an elective franchise,
and another that tbe proposed amend
ment was contrary to the genius of
our institutions.
It is for services like these that tbe
Democracy of Pennsylvania now hon

that of deli veringbiUerpartisan speech

were waging a traitorous war to debitor.

ing tbe nomination of Hon. John
Cessna were admitted by a unani

were no positive indications as to the
probable nominee, each county hav
ing tenaciously stuck to its own fa
vorite. Each of tbe four candidates
has acceptably eerved in Congress,
tbe rivalry between them is spirited
but most amicable, and be the result
a hat it may, we have tbe assurance
that the conference will present us
with a good candidate, who will un-
questiunably carry the district
There is one portion of the public
record of Gen. McCandless, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, that is of peculiar in
terest to tbe citizens oi mis county:
and that is his persistent and unscru
pulous efforts, when in the Senate, to
prevent the completion of the Con
nellsville railroad.
Tbe repeal of the charter or this
road, when its construction was be
ing energetically pushed, was the
grossest outrage ever perpetrated by
any legislative body claiming the at
tribute of common honesty, and no
man in tbe Commonwealth ever at
tempted to justify it .on any other
than the highwayman's plea of might,
and yet this Democratic candidate,
totally ignoring all sentiments save
those possessed in common with a
receiver of stolen goods, stolidly vot
ed during his Senatorial career against
the restoration of the charter, filched
from this road. Tbe man who could
thus outrage every dictate of propri
ety and honesty, is unnttea lor any
public position, and is not to be trust-
ed. The enterprising citizens of the
numerous thrifty towns . and villages
now dotting the line of this road, and
real estate proprietors who have been
so largely benefitted by its construc
tion, have now an opportunity to
show their appreciation, at the polls,
of the man who voluntarily stood
between them and the restoration of
their rights. Let tbem remember
j
what the valleys of the Wills creek,
the Cassclman and the Yough were a
few years since, contrast it with their
present condition, and then determine
what they owe Gen. McCandless for
bis persistent efforts to prevent the
development and the progress which
the building of the Connellsville road
has secured.
The, nomination of CoL E.' D,
Yatzv as the candidate for Senator
in this district, will afford unbounded
satisfaction to the Republicans of
this county, and is cordially approved
and will be endorsed heartily at the
polls, by our friends in the other coun
ties of the district

Ot SEW YOB K LETTER.
Xew York, October, 5, 1874.
THE YOUNG MAN ABOUT TOWN.
I had the curiosity the other day
to sit in one of the eluba of tbis city
a part of a day, to tbe end oi study
ing the iilv iife of the "young man
about t .vn," a class very numerous
in tbi it;, where fortunes, colossal
in tb r report ioos, were made by
the luat ffeneration for tbe present
irpnpra'ion to pnend. It was a sen
0U3 study, and one, I trust, that car
ries with it a moral.
Th voonir man about town is. of
course, wealthy. His father made a
large fortune in something, and sent
the young man to college. lie grad
uated somehow, without learning
anything, and being too rich to fol
low any business, gave bis whole
mind (it wasn't much to give) to tbe
spending of it -
liis day commences at noon, wnen
he rises. Before be gets his pantaloons
on he staggers to his side-board aud
swallows a brandy-cocktail to give
him a little life, for the night before
took out of him all the vitality be
had, and his 6leet)has not been souDd
or refreshing. Before be has himself
encased in his elegant clothes, he Las
swallowed four or five of these invig
orators, and has got up enough friski
ness in his stomach to be able to eat
a breakfast, which he docs at his
club.
He may plav at beiog a broker, in
which case he goes to Wall street,
and, with a set of choice spirits of the
same kidney, be makes a few "trans
actions," going out for cock-tails be
fore and after each one. After busi
ness hours, he drops in at Delmom-
co's, and takes a bite of something,
drinking tbe while every fifteen min
utes, and about say six in the even
ing he is ready for dinner. At din
ner he dnuks cbablis, sherry, cnam-
pagne and burgundy, winding' up
with cognac.
Tbis brings him to the serious bus
iness of the day. He may go to tbe
opera with his sister, or the unfortu
nate young lady wbo is to be nisi
wife, or bo may join a "stag party," ,
and drop in at one of tbe theatres fori
an hour. Following tbis he goes, if
he is in a virtuous frame of miad, to a
ball or two, dancing a little at each,
and drinking a great deal; or, if in a
vicious mood, there are balls of tbe
demimonde. In default of these, there
is always a game of draw-poker at
the clubs, with ?takes unlimited;
or, if his system demands a fiercer
excitement, there are the furo4anks.
where, with the aid of wine and bran
dy, the young man may lose as much
money as he chooses, and tbe proprie
tors generally manage tbat he shall
lose a great deal, lie keeps at this
steadily till six o'clock in tbe morn
ing, when he goes home, not drunk,
but in a semi-intoxicated and general
ly befuddled condition, and drops in
to a sleep which is not natural an
alcoholic 6leep that comes from the
inability of a not over-strong consti
tution to bear any more stimulants
and cigars; for be it known, this gen
tle youth smokes the strongest cigars
every minute of the time . tbat he is
not in bed or in the presence of de
cent women.
The "young man about town" does
not confine himself to the three vices
of alcohol, tobacco and gambling.
Xot he. There is not a woman of
doubtful character in the city who
is unknown to him: and he has al
ways one, and generally more, mis
tresses, who share Lis income with
the faro-banks, tbe liquor and cigar
dealers.
He dies at something less than
fortv, as a rule, though if he li vea be
yond tbat age, it is to wish that he
had died before; for his death is not
tbe ordinary absolution. It is
break-up. The system infeebled by
dissipation, kept alive by stimulants,
and drained by every known excess,
comes to a point where stimulants,
wll no longer act for tbe tissues up
on which they acted arc gone. 1 here
is not enough of the man left for rum
to take hold of, and as rum has kept
the machine running for years, it- is
really all there is of it Then it
brakes and eoes in a minute. There
is no fuel for the fire to take hold of,
and it dies.
Poor fellowl A life that might
have blessed the world ended with
not a good deed to leave behind
career characterized by nothing but
lust and self-indulgence, and a deatn
mourned only by the harpies wbo
ministered to bis sins, their regret be
ing that be did not live long enough
to squander upon tbem his entire for
tune.
There are forty thousand of these
voung men in Xew York this dav
living the life I have only in part de
scribed.
THE COSMETIC ARTIST.
. If the young men of Xew York are
given to one kind of dissipation, their
sisters are to another. Tbere are
the city at least one hundred men and
women who have amassed, or are
amassing, large fortunes by beautify
in? women. The cosmetic artist
is
generally a lady whose antecedents
are unknown. Where she comes
from no one knows, but she always
professes to come from that especial
vanity-fair. 1 aria. cue Jives in
quiet and severely respectable neigh
borhood, and no sign advertises her
calline. for no lady would, for the
world, be seen visiting a known beau
tifier. She is admired by her custo
mers, and if she is tkilful she has
enough of them.
What does she do ? Lock at the
complexions on Broadway, and there
find your answer. A lady has good
enough features, but her complexion
is bad. She would be completely
beautiful, so she goes to Madame
X . Madame seats her in a chair,
dips a soft brush into a villainously
smelliotr liquid, and paints the face
tbe neck and bust, and presto, the
suuburn, tan, freckles, or whatever
may be the trouble, have disappeared,
and id lieu tberof, tbere is a complex
ion as clean, clear, soft and beautiful
as tbe most exacting could wish,
Tbis is enameling. The preparation
is a mineral paint that pimi'ates the
clearest flesh, and it stays on several
days without repairs. The victim
onco enameled has to go regularly
for repairs, which gives Madame a
mortgage on her purse. Unfortunate
ly for the artist, tbe mineral gets into
the system, and tbe victim dies in a
few years of paralysis; but as there
is a new class of vain women born
every year, she never lacks custo
mers. The hair is another source of reve
nue to the beautifiers.- Does the lady
want to convert ber black tresses into
tbe yellow, now so popular 7 Xotb
ing easier. Tbe hair, is plastered
with something about as pleasant as
lime, which roust be kept oa night
and day for a week or so, which
bleaches it to the color required, the
eye-brows being similarly treated,
tbat tbe effect may be harmonious.
True, this induces paralysis, but
where is the woman who would not
take the chances of paralysis for tbe
enhancement of her beautv? Is the
forehead too high? Madame shaves
the bair on the forshead an inch or
two. and applies a liquid which si e
makes, aud a fine fuzs grows, ims
is shaved again and again till it gets
thick, aud long enough to be arrang
ed to the taste of the wearer.
Women arc not the only patrons
of Madame. Men write to her, from
all paru of the country fer her prepa
rations to make bair grow aud to
change the color of hair.
i .They drive a profitable trade, for
i a woman may go
without euniciem
underclotbiDg but she will
have the
meaus of beautifying herself. Ilridget,
in the kitchen, buys her ten- ;ce(HJ',
worth of white lead for her face; Vad
the nnsLreas uo-siairs pays Uie coa-4
metic artist $100 for enameling; but
it is all to one end. One-half the
world lives on the vanity and folly
of the other half. ' J .."'

What happiness! A week has
passed by and the papers bre had
nothing in them of the Beecher-Til-ton
scandal. Tilton's Fast statement
is acknowledged by every one to be
a remarkable production, and it 'las
changed public opinion in 1 the mat
ter to a wonderful degree. The good
people of Brooklyn who believed
Beecber innocent now admit that his
guilt is possible, and those who sided
with Tilton are stronger 'than ever
in the belief in the strength of his
position. -Tilton keeps, close to his
house in Brooklyn, and keeps from
becoming morbid by the hardest
kind of work. His children see bioi
occasionally, and his intimate friends
are admitted, but none other. He
was in Xew York yesterday for the
first time in three weeks, ne looks
strong and hearty, and has full faith
that be will be eventually Justified.
Moalton is a3 jolly as a grig, and is
full of fight. He is getting ready for
tbe numerous libel - suits that ' have
been instituted against lira. Mrs.
Tilton is still at tbe Ovingtons',' and,
it is understood, has expiessed her
determination never to' resume her
lifo with her husband.- By the way,
in the prosecution of Tilton's suit
against Beecher how is a jury to be
obtained ? Where can twelve men be
found wbo have not formed an opin
ion, pro or con ? '" ' ''"! '

But it is not lirelv yet not even

that they will be lifted higher ere

lenceintil nine o'clock, when It had
become a hutricane. . For an '-our
thereafter, the. gale was the rfltst se
vere "known here. The 'tide" was
forced up to a most unp'ecedeutal
height, inundating tbe t-ntire river
front -cf the citv. damagiug tbe

stances sweeping away
many m-
thc pier

ftnd the p'ublic'" bathing bouse was
demolished. -The shipping generally
escuped eeriuua daivage. Some small

the city the effects of ' the srale were
everywhere visible, feuces and out

height of ib -tempest tuo air was
filled with tJau-s .-and tin, atrippvd
from the roofs, making the streets im
passible.: The massive brick walls
if the uew theater which hud just

that the worst is over. Two houses
