STljc Democrat. I HARVEY SICKLER, Editor. TUNKHAIfNOCKj PA. Wednesday, Dee. 2, 1868. GRANT" NOT ELKCTEU. Some of our ex ultant republican neighbors who have been crowing so lustily over the election ofGeneial Grant, will he surprised to learn that the President who is to adminis ter the affairs of the Government for the neit four years is not elected. Most of them are probably prepared to swear that t'.iey voted for Grant, but such is uotthe cise. Tiiev merely voted for some men called "electors" who are supposed to be sound ou that smoker. These electors • of whom at.umber, equal to the number of Setiatou and Representatives in Con gress, are chosen by each State, will meet at the f'apitols of their respective States, on the first Wednesday in December, where they w >il vote by ballot for a Presi dent and a Vice President. The result of the vote in each State will be sent by a special Messenger to the Speaker of the U. S- Senate, who will in joint convention of the two bouses of Congress, open the carefully sealed messages, count the votes, and announce Ihe result. Wouldn't it delight our radical friends, if after all, there should be such a positive "recognition of the rights ol the coming man" as the choice by these electors of Fred, Douglass for President. They would then be saved any further anxi etv as to Grant's Demociatic record and proclivities W hat a delightful consum mation, indeed! for Sumner and "sicb like.'' Murder of an Editor. RICHMOND, NOV 24.—11 Rives Pollard editor of the Southern Opinion. was shot and killed this morning at ten o'clock, while passing near his office by James Grant. The following are the particulars of the tragedy : On Saturday a report was pub lished in the Southern Opinion, relative to the elopenn-wt of a daughter of A.M. y. Grant, a wealthy tobacconist of this city.— This morning about ten o'clock, as Mr. LI. Rives Pollard, the editor of the Opinion was near his office door, at the corner of Main and Fourteenth Streets, and going it. a shot was fired fiom an upper window of a building opposite, and Mr. Pollard fell dead, eleven buckfhota having entered his body, ai.d one passing through his heart.— The poliee searched the building and found James Grant, a brother of the lady named in a room, lie surrendered himself and was taken to the station house. A double barrelled gun, with one barrel discharged, was found in the room. The atlair creates great excitement here. SINGULAR CAUSE OF PARALYSIS.—A little son of Oscar F. Davis, of Whitehall, N. Y., died a day or two since of paralysis induced by the following singular manner : With several other bys he was in the hab it of ligi ing his ears on the rails of a rail road tiack, while others would go off some distance and pound the track with stones Every one knows that sound is conveyed much more rapidly and with much great er intensity by solid substances than it is through the air, and by this means a sharp ringing Sound was produced, completely deafening the listeners for the moment—in fact, the boyscall-d rt playing dealening.— It seemed to have a greater effect on Mr. Davis' boy than on the others, for, as he stated after he was taken sick, the deafness would sometime* last for half an hour.— He was finally taken with a dreadful pain in the head, terminating in paralysis of one side of the head and throat. •'HK 1)IKD POOR!"—So the world says when some poor mortal dies alone and for gotten,with no kin 1 lundto s-no th hit bat or close bis eye* when "his work is done." "He died poor!" the world a\s, and yet perhaps he was rich ;it may not have been m gold, stocks or lands, but what is far better, tich in having stored his mind with that knowledge "which passeth un derstanding," and fit# him to enter a high er and better existence; in the memory of a thousand acts of kindness, "whose fruit eternity alone shall bring forth." Better, far better, to die alone and unnoticed with these memories, than be worth millions earned by oppressing the poor and needy ones of earth, and the thought that your money cannot give you one hour, when the day of death draws near, wherein to redeem the errora of an ill apent life. The largest man in Kentucky (Win G, Willia) has just died at his residence in Boone county, in that State, of apoplexy. He was sick but a few hours. His age was 48. He was without doubt the largest man in the Mate, weighing 500 pounds on the day of his death. His average weight varied during the last few years from 520 down as low as 490 pounds, but he was weighing even 500 pounds at tbe day of his death. He was keeping toll-gate at the time of his death, and the passers-by had to go to him to pay their toll instead of bim going to them. Of late years he has been in Barnum's Museum, in New York, and left there about the time tbe Museum was burned last fall. What is the difference between ac cepted and rejected lovers ?

It i* conceded by educators generally, that high schools, nculeinirs ana college*, in order lo be p t rmsm-mly successful, must be under the control of a religious denomination. The history of s:ch insti tutions warrants the assertion. Influenced by this f*?t, and feeling the want of educational advantages, thellap tists are about to establish a high-scnool at lactory ville, in this County, under the au spices of the Abington, Bridgewatcr, and W voming Associations, and to be called the "Key Stone Academy.'' A Charter was obtained fron our State Legislature at its la.-t session, vesting its management in a board of twelve trustees, teceri of whom arc to be members of the Baptist Church. Ihe above named Associations, at their jast annual meetings, complied with a pro vision of the Charter, viz; that each one, by the payment of §SO annually, may be represented by three trustees of their own appointment. The citizens of Factoryville have taken hold of the en:erprize with a will, and have pledged SIO.oOJ towards it, and say they will double the amount, if necessary. A beautiful site, on an eminence within a half mile cf the borongh has been pro cured, and it is confidently expected that in less than a year, a good school inlerme diatc between the common school and the college, will be in succesful opera tion. The shares are fixed at $25, eutitling the holder to vote iu the election of trus tees, officers, -ns of Wyoming County will patronize this school and make it an honor to Northern Penn sylvania. A. JUDSON FIRMAN The Negro Bureau to be Continued. The following telegram, from Washing ton, appeared in the newspapers of last Tuesday, viz: Reports from our agents of Abe Freedmen's Bu reau in Dearly ail the States have been received at the headquarters. The last one received was that of (ten. Hatch, Assistant Commissioner of Louisiana. In common with the rest, he urges the continuance of the Bureau on the ground that it is neressary for the welf-.c of the negroes. Tbi9 is equivalent to an official an nouncement, made on the day of the elec tion when it could not affect the result, that the infamous Freedmen's Bureau is to be continued. "Reports have been re ceived from nearly all the States" and the agents urge ' the continuance of the Biv reau on the ground that it is necessary for the welfare of the negroes." It is more necessary for the "welfare" of the agents than the negro. It furnishes them with good fat offices, and places it in their pow er to plunder the unfortunate white peo ple of the South. Besides this, it is "nec essary" to the life cf the Radical party in the South, for without the Bureau to man ipulate and control the negroes, that par ty would not have an existence in tliak section. Very likely it is, "necessary for the welfare ot the negroes," for it clothes, feeds, and educates them at the expense of the tax-payers in the North. From the price it costs, it ought to prove very greatly to their welfare. We hope the people ol the North will be Satisfied with this state of thing, tor it is their work. The Bureau, which costs several millions a year, is to be continued for four years longer, (or that point was gained by the election of Grant. It may be that the tax-payers after a while, will begin to squeal, as the mouey is drawn from their pockets to support negroes, but we hope they will bear it with becoming resigna tion,'for they voted for the Bureau last October. The prospect ahead is particu larly cheeiing ot poor men, who make a liv ing by their daily toil, and they, no doubt, will be glad of the opportunity to give a portion ot each day's labor to support the idle, worthless, negroes of the South. They have gained this by the late election, and we wish them joy of it This is the "peace' they were promised.— Doylestown Democrat. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe Converted. We hear from Florida that Mrs. Beech er Stowe, the authoress of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," who a year or two ago bought a place on the St. John's River near Jack sonville, says she wants to live long enough to write another bvok to correct the mis takes of "Uncle Tom," and show that a great blunder was committed when slavery was abolished. From originai condi tion of sentimental attachment to the ne gro, she lies lapsed into a state of uncon querable dislike and aversion. She will not have them about Iter, either in d<-or or out. She turned them all oft'her place, and allows no one with a black skin to ap proach her. We are told that an acquain tance of ours sought to send her a mes sage by a black stewardess on board a steamboat, but she refused to allow tiie ne gro to approach her. Her mind, as we hav been credibly informed, is very much inftamed against the negro; and this prob ably, from comparing their efficiency and apitude to the whites. Her fancy picture ot tbe African has been spoiled, and her sen timental affection has turned, in conse quence, lo violent aversion. Like Squecrs, tbe milk of human sympathy in her bos om has turnea to curds and whey.—Ma con, (Ga ) QUKKR SPECTACLE.—Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe appears to have rather lib eral ideas on religion. She says: "I think if the different churches of a city would rent a building where there should be|a billiard table, one or two nine-pin al ley NU reading room,a garden,and grounds for ball playing and innocent lounging that they would do more to keep their young people from the ways of sin than a Sunday school could. Nay, more, I would go fur ther; I would have a portion of the buildiug fitted up with scenery and a stage, for get ting up ot tableaux or dramatic perform ances, A white woinar. left her husband ami several children in North Stonington, Inst week, and eloped with a black man.— Considerable sympathy is felt for the nc gro.

DKAK FAULK ; nd you ever notice what a -itnilaiity ] there sometime* IS between tlie trails of some remarkable people and others. Mr. Iteechi-r ••oserved ih- other eve ning in a familiar chat with Sunday j School that lie u-ed to go lo sleep in ' church when In- wa- • h >v. So did I The only differences between our ca-e* is that ii was his tatln-r who used to preach him to sleep, anv tath-.r used to wake me up. That ts. if he happened to wake h fore I did. Lly observation and practice, however, 1 generally hit upon the particular part of the service when the old gentleman Would wake up anil anticipated him by a few seconds. I hen when lie opened his eyes be would meet the sorrowful an l reproving 'glance of his offspring. Hut my calculations could not always be relied upon. (htr neighbor in the next |>ew night snore a little louder than usual, or a fly might buzz around the old gentleman's nose and wake him up before his time, which was sure to make him mad and he would take it out in waking me up. I agree with Mr. Beecher that church ! pews are much more comhmahh fitted up now than they used to he. Stili they might he improved. The backs are too low. lliey should either be built higher or have head rests like those attach d to har her s chairs to give you an easy shave, and which \ou can raise "r lower as vou pre fer I recommended this style of seat to the Ijong Island Historical Society some vjears ago, and they said they would adopt it wlien they put up a building of their own. Mrs. O'Lanus thinks people hadn't ought to sleep in church. It they can't keep awake they should stay at home. And she wanted to know what good a sermon did anybody it they slept all i through it and didn't hear a word of it ? lo which I responded bv asking her another conundrum : \Vhat good did a 1 sermon do a person who heard every word of if, but Coitldii t tor the lile >.f tliein make out what it was about? She gave it up. So did I. The church lias attractions wh c!i draw people iu spite of the preaching. Not to reflect on the 1 .die- !>v hinting at the fashions, there is the mu-ic. i like music After the Collapse of the Philharmonic Society and in the d' arth of opera, church music is not to be despised. Besides you can have it on Sunday, when there are no other entertainm -nts going uu. The qucrtettc singing in some of the churches is ready verv line. The ciiureh choir is coming to be re- i garded as the the opemlic stage and concert room. It i* a very good school. W hen I was a boy all bands in the church used to pitch ia when the tune started and swell the note of piaise. And a heavy swell it was. But that was in the davs when they didn't br.il I several hundred thousand dol lar churches, with twenty hundred thous- ■ and dollar organs and twelve thousand a year preachers The people had to do their own sing-- i ing. They couldn't affor l a fifteen linn— | dred dollar soprano, a twelve hundred a year tenor, a thousand dollar baritone, arid an eight hundred dollar contralto, or tn I organist with diamond sleeve hut'o->s. We have improved much since then in piety as in others things. Tliev had no pew auctions in tho.-e days. The go-pel hadn't been exhausted tlien, and the ministers didn't have to fall back on politics The Episcopalians were undisturbed by i Ritualism, were not affiicte I with Tyngs. or S'.ubbses, or Bocg-es. Methodist deacon* could chew tobacco i without fear of being overhauled by the I Conference The Reformed Dutch Church was not I ashamed to be called Dutch. And Long Island was innocent of a Bishop. Hut the doniinees then had their fail ings. They hadn't as much respect for the feelings of sinners of refined tastes and deli cate sensibilities. They used to preach more sulphur, and you used to hear a good deal more about the Devil than yon do now. | Excuse my mentioning tins shocking personage, who is seldom teferred to now, and when lie is, it is in an indirect and more delicate way. There was certainly a lack of refine ment in those good old days, that would be quite shocking now Our preaching like our pews has been ! velvet cushioned, anil are no more like | the old siyle than the upholstered seats are like the plain oak benches, Henry Ward and I slept on in the days of our youth and innocence. < luce in awhile the old spirit of John j Knox breaks out, and the pulpit echoes with au honest outburst of indignatipn at the wickedness of some men, and the tol ; oration of wickedness by everybody else. That was a bully sermon tny friend Beecher preached last Sunday. Some of his congregation must have felt bad. How are we to become perfect if we tolerate sinners? If tor instance men who have grown rich in government office, while whisky frauds have flourished under their noses, and the revenue been defrauded, can not only sit in the sanctuary, hut be elders in the church. It periodical financial insolvency at the expense of confiding creditors is not re garded as inconsistent with holding the l places of highest tru.-t in the church. If huckstering politicians who can af ford to pay a high rate of pew rent can compel the minister of God, the messenger of truth, to recant his honest convictions publicly expressed, lest tbey might hurt the prospects of a political party. There is a great deal of wickedness in this world, and according to history there! always ha been. We can't find the millenium by looking I baekwaros, so we might as well look ahead i for the good time coming. It would be a good thing to make every body good, but the trouble is to know i where to begin. They found the w'ekedest man in New York, and tried to convert him, bnt this enterprise was a failure. It it had succeeded it would have been ; a starting point. The next wickedest man might have been taken in hand, and then the third wickedest, and so on until the good men were reached. After all tlie wicked men had been con- I verted, the wicked women could be taken in hand. That would be an easy job. Mrs. O'Lanu* says there wouldn't lie anv wick ed women, if it wasn't for the m>-ri. Then there would he no more wicked boys to go to sleep in church, play cat on the sidewalk, make bonfires out of ash I barrels, throw stories, or grieve their mothers by tearing their trousers climbing j fences. The break-down on the wickedest man j in .New Yoak spoiled this plan, of coin | iiiencing at the lowest round of the social j j ladder. How would it do to try a commence- j j merit at the other end, and begin in the church? Yours improvingly, UORRY O'LANUS. Brooklyn Kuyle. Ihe President's Salary. ; The New York Sun (Radical) speaks about raising the l'resideut's salary, thus: "The proposition is being revived, in ; view of Gen. Grant's accession to the j Presidency <>f the United States, of in - crea-ing''he salary of the office fr<>ni its' present amount, $25,000 to SIOO,OOO j jor thereabouts. \V- hope nothing of j ; the kind will be done, or even seriously ! I considered by Congress. In the first place, the 25,000 now allow ;ed by law is not the whole of the money , paid by the nation tMvard the President's private expenses He hai a house free of rent, warmed and kept in repairs for him without eharge The furniture of the house is also provided, and in one way or ! other his servants' wages are paid out of the public treasury. His garden, from which his table to a great extent is sup plied, is taki n care of by a public gardener. In addition, every little while extra ap propriations are made for special purposes.! Taking ail these things together, the Pres ident really receives much nearer $50,1)00 1 than 25,000. As a matter of fact, the salary now paid has always proved amply sufficient. Mr. j j Filmore, Mr Pierce and Mr. Buchanan made handsome savings while in office.— Abraham Lincoln saved CO,OOO out of Ins four years' allowance, ami Johnson w ill retire with a nearly equal amount It can easily be seen that when nothing is to be met but marketing bills, keeping a pair of horses, and a cost of a tew entertainments, $25,000 will go a long way. But the conclusive argument on the, subject is, that we do not want a President of a Republic like ours to set an example of luxury and ostentation to his fellow-cit i izens. What if he cannoPvie in display with foreign ministers, whisky speculators. j gold and stock gamblers, and parvenus ' generally ? His 25,000 a year will cer- ! tainly provide him, and his family with comfortable c'othing, wholesome food, and leave a little over for pocket money. - j There is no danger of an v lack of able and | i upright patriots to take the office, even at this rate of pecuniary remuneration.'' The Revolution in Cuba. Hut little is known here of the progress |of the levolution in Cuba, the authorities | of the Island being careful to permit the publication of nothing which gives a prop ier idea of the difficulties. The Baltimore Gazrtle has the following extract from a letter dated Havana, Oct. 29th. "You already know that the inhabitants of" the eastern part of the Island have ris en iu at ins and proclaimed the indepen dence of the Island. The government has sent about ten thousand soldiers to ! check the revolution, but until the present it seems they have been able to do little jor nothing, on account of the difficulties the troops find in marching through un settled districts with covered rocks and wooJs, ami w here many men are lost without seeing the enemy. Whole com panies have often been obliged to run for i their lv. 3 without having fired a single shot. Our papers publish every day ac counts of the victories obtained by the ! royal troops, but we well know what this means, for though we read that so many of the enemy were killed aud wounded and so many prisoners taken, we find in the same account that the killed and ! wounded were taken by the rebels, who ; could not be overtaken in their precipi tate flight. In another part of the paper we are told that one piisoner was taken and marched through the nearest town, which proves that taken prisoncis is a rare occurrence with our brave troops. Our present victories are similar to those ob i tained in St. Domingo, and the result will probably be the same. The Government lis doing everything in its power to crush the revolution, but it has not the means to do it effectually, and no help can be ex peeled Irom the mother country. We do not yet know what will be the result of the present conflict. No business it done in I the city. Money is so scarce that even our national bank can&ot cash its notes, and the Utter can only be changed for 1 gold at the stores at 4 or 5 per cent, dis count. TERRIBLE EXPI.OSION IN AS ENGLISH COAI.

A school t-acher™ who had <-nj .yt*J the benifit of a long practice of hi* pro! sion, ann had watched closely the influ ence of newspapers upon the minds of a family of children, states as the results of his observations that, without exception, those scholars of both sex s and all ages who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those wh > have no', are : 1. Better readers, excellent in pronunci ation, and consequently read more undcr- S standingly. 2. They are better spellers, and define words with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain practical knowledge in ; geegraphy in almost half the time ii re quires otheis. as the newspaper lias made them familiar with the location of impor tant places and nations, their governments ami doings. 4. They are better grammarians, for, having become so familiar with everv va i riety of style in the newspaper, from com monplace advertisements to the finished arid classical oration of the statesman, I they more readily ceniprehend the me.ui- I ing of tlie text, and consequently analyze ! its coi.rtruction with accuracy. c. Thev write better compositions, using j better language, containing more thoughts, l still more clearly expressed. From these simple facts three impor tant things can he deduced : 1. The responsibility of the press in I supplying literature which shall be both healthful in tone and tike wise understand ; ingly expressed. 2. The absolute necessity of personal supervision of a child's reading by bis pa rents. 3. Having once got a good, .abic paper, no matter what the price, don't begrudge it a healthy support. MURDER OF A WEALTHY LAD v.--On .Sun day evening, about ten o'clock, great ex citeiu -lit was erea'ed in the neighbo:lioo i of Tilth ami R^it-stn et ■ by the discov ery oi lln body of an dderly fatly lying in the yaid <>t the aptcious mansion a! the northe-iM corner of !'< nth and Fine streets.

The Reese liiver (Nev.) lirville , gives the following account of a horrible I ung ling exeeut.ou of Ruths B Anderson, in Austin, on the 20ih nil: "Stepping upon the trap, his hands and feet were bound, the noose slipped over bis bead, and the cap drawn over his face, and at the signal the trap fell, and the wretched young man lav stretched upon the ground. Tin- knot had slipped through the noose. There was a wild cry and a rush forward of the crow-j, but ii. was kept back by the guard. Anderson was tar ried on the platform, the noose was once more adjusted around Lis neck, and tin trap fell. The knot slipped again, and Anderson was pioalrate and insensible. It was simply hoirible. He was carried lip the sitps of the platform and sealed in a chair, his face wearing the pallor of the grave tf>rn which In- had been snatched twice. Ihe rope was adjusted the third time, and as the trap fill In- swung free, aud after a slight muscular movum-nt of several minutes he had gone into eternity. Dining the terrible Oideal tiie nerve exhib ited by the young man Kulu B. Anderson was wonderful.' A MOTHER.— Around the idea of one's mother the mind of man clings with fond affection. It is the first dc-ar thought stamped upon our infant heart, when yet soft and capable of receiving the most pro found impressions, and all the after feelings are more or less in comp.ui*on. Our passions an i our willfulness mav lead us far fiottt the object of our tilia! lore ; we may become wild, headstrong and angry at her counsels or opposition ; hut when death has stilled her monitory voic", and nothing' hut calm memory remains to re capitulate her virtues and good deeds, af fection, like a flower beaten to the ground by rude storms, raises up her head and smiles, amidst her tears, Round that idea, as we have said, the mind clings with fond affection ; and even when the earlier period of our loss forces memory to be si lent, fancy takes the place of remembrance, and twines the image of our departed pa rent with a garland of graces, and beau ties, and virtues, which we doubt not that she possesses. AN IDLE DRKAM. —For a man to think that lie is going to do the work of his life without obstacles and opposition, is to dream in the lap of folly itself. W hat would we amount to were we compelled to feel our way, to fall down and get up again, and learn that our theories are nev er according to the law of nature, hut the object of our limited perception • upon the untried and unreal ? We are, however, not to be discouraged on this account; we arc rather to be more satisfied of its being good and right for us, for ir. adversity and opposition we are tried ; and trials are no thing more than tests of nature, Up from below we go above We are but the pro ducts cf the lower conditions. Our expe rience is merely' passing through tne changes and would he just no experience at all if we could manage to escape alto gether. We ought not to complain when we see how all things work together for good. I'SDKHXO OBLIGATION R.> FOR OK AN i. !!K V. w VI.IL Kvfi.ir'if /''ll i UH'lj MV: " S h.-* I titl.u * of Prc-itl it!
