A Word to Bepublicans.
Gov. Hoffman, of New York, and other
promineDt leaders of the Democratic party,
have united in a Circular, which is exten
sively published iu the Democratic papers,
urging the circulation of "Democratic news
papers" as the most potent agency in secu
ring triumph of the party in fature politi
cal struggles. These gentlemen have a full
appreciation of the power of the Tress and
the importance of extending the circulation
of the local papers. The annexed extract
we commend to our Republican friends:
"A free press is the most effective weap
on for combating popular error, and achiev
ing the political revolution which it was
never more clear than now is iudispenible
to the country's prosperity, liberties, union,
and peace: Ve would therefore recommend
the immediate formation of newspaper clubs
in your town, and that you enlist the efforts
of your friends and neighbors, with your
own to place a Democratic newspaper every
week in the coming year, in the hands not
only of every Democrat who can afford to
pay lor it, but also those who cannot, an J of
every 'doubtful' voter whose mind is acces
sible to the candid, earnest, and able pre
sentations of the truth and principles of
Democratic freedom."
It is well sometimes to learn from the en
emy; and if our Republican fricods would
ensure the continued triumphs of Republi
can principles and facilitate the labors of the
approaching Gubernatorial campaign in
this State, they cannot do a wiser thing than
act on the suggestion of Gov. Hoffman Jk
Co., and seo to it that a Republican paper
is put into tho hands of every Republicau
and 'doubtful' voter in the county.
Triple Alliance. A report was cur
rent, lust, wetk, that an alliance, offensive
and defensive, was about to be consummated
between England, France and Spain. This,
it is believed, will not take place, for the
reason that the feeling on the part of Eng
land and France is quite the reverse of that
which must precede such an arrangement.
Napoleon is known to regard the Montpen
sier movement as little less than a menace,
and the general liberalization of the Gov
ernment of Spain as boding no good to his
dynasty ; and England is known to have ad
dressed sharp words to the Spanish Govern
ment for the conduct of its officials in sun
dry respects since the Cuban revolution
broke out. On the other hand, it is assert
ed that the understanding between the Uni
ted States and Spain is of the best kind,
even better than it. has been for many year--.
The alleged tr. aty is believed at Washing
ton to be an impossibility.
The Virginia Election. The Virginia
election has at last been fix3d for the fth
of J uly. The day has been put off so late
that the harvest may be gathered before po
litical excitement becomes too high to inter
fere with the necessary work. The result
can hardly be doubted. The Constitution
will be adopted, negro suffrage and all. Sev
clauses relating to disfranchisement, test
oaths and local officers, will be voted on sep
arately. These may be rejected. The feel
ing against disfranchisement Is daily gain
ing ground.aad tire uselessness of test oaths
is becoming apparent. There is strong rea
son to believe that next autumn will se all
the States in the Union once more.
Smasuixo Up. The National Adminis
tration, says an exchange, is rushing at
Hghtaing speed straight to everlasting
smash. Six millions of the principal of the
public debt was paid of last month, besides
six millions of interest, and not a soul in the
Cabinet has raided a warning cry- Alack
and alas ! If the administration goes on at
this rate the whole nublie debt will be naid
off in time, and then will somebody (who
failed to get office under Grant) tell us whit
will become of this ill-fated country? De
struction seize us! The Natioral debt is
being piid off as it never has been paid be
fore! What shall we do?
A Patient Calculator. A citizen of
Wisconsin who, as far as patience goes,
throws Job in the shade, has made a calcu
lation about clover seeds which is interest
ing. He counted the seeds in one ounce
and found 17,300. In one pound there
would, therefore be 27O.S00 ; in one bushel
16,60S,UO0. He says there are 6,272,640
square feet in an acre, and, supposing it to
lake thirty six seeds to the squire foot, con
cludes that it will require l.SCS.l CO seeds
for an acre. He avers that six pounds will
easily sow an acre, according to these fig
ures. In Providence, Rhode Island, the Sprague
stock weat down so low that the candidate
for Mayor represeatiag the little Senatorial
monomaniac's peculiar politiis was compel
led to withdtaw from the field, fearing that
he eonld not get a corporal's guard in his
support Sprague will soon realize that
h mistakes his strength in the plantation
be represents in the United States Senate.
Henceforth he is a cipher in the political
circles of his State, and once out of the ser
vice, he will never again rise to the exalted
position he undeservedly now enjoys.
There is now in the Treasury of the Uni
ted States $105,000,000 of coin; of which
$92,000,000 is the property of the Govern
ment. At th present rate of receipts the
eustoms duties yield about $63,000,000 per
annum more thaa the interest on the public
debt and the expenses of the diplomatic and
consular service. Th gold in the Treasu
ry, therefore, accumulates at the rate of $1,.
300,000 per week, when no sales are made-
The Few Begistry.Law. r
The Registry Law passed by the last Leg
islature, and approved by Gov. Geary, is an
act that will be instrumental, if its provis
ions are faithfully earned out, in prevent
ing many of the abuses that have existed
under former laws ; and hence, the follow
ing epitome of the law will be perused with
interest by our readers:
The first section makes it the duty of the
Assessor in each district.on the first Monday
in June of each year, to revise the tran
scripts received from the County Commis
sioners, by striking from them the name of
every person who is known by him to have
died or removed, since the last previous as
sessment, from the district, or whose death
or removal shall be made known to him.
He shall also add to the list the name of any
quallified voter who shall be known by him
to have removed into the district since the
last previous assessment, or whose removal
into the same shall be made known to him,
and also the names of all who shall make
claim to be qualified voters therein. The
Assessor, as soon as the revision is complet
ed shall visit every dwelling house in his
district and make careful inquiry in regard
to the death or lemoval of every person up
on his list, and should he discover that any
have died or removed he shall take the name
from the list of voters. Should the asses
sor find any person residing in the district
whose name is not on the list, he shall add
the same thereto, and in all such cases he
shall assess a tax against the person. Then
follows a careful registry of all the voters in
each district with their occupations, resi
dences, place of boarding, by whom em
ployed ic.
Any person claiming to vote by reason of
naturalization, unless he has been for five
consecutive years a voter in the district,
shall exhibit his certificate to the Assessor,
and all such names when entered on the list
shall be marked with the letter N. The
Assessor shall also make out a separate list
of all new assessments made bv him.
with the amount assessed against each, and
furnish the same immediately to the County
Commissioners, who shall add the same to
the duplicate of the district to which it be
longs. On the list of voters being completed it
shall be returned to the commissioners of
the County, who shall caus3 duplicate cop
ies to be made and placed in the hands of
the Assessor, who shall, prior to the first of
August of each year, place one copy on the
door of the house where the election of the
respective district is held, for the inspection
of all who desire to examine it.
The Assessor shall also from time to time
add to this list the name of any person
claiming the right to vote, his residence, oc-,
cupation, Sic, and mark opposite the name
of such person the letters C. V. (claiming
to vote).
Ten days proceeding the general election,
the Assessor must attend at the place of
holding the election and hear all applica
tions that shall be made by persons whose
names have been omitted from the list of
voters, and shall add the names of such per
sons as shall establish their right to vote, on
their personal application only.
The amended list shall be placed on the
door of or on the house where the election
is held, at least eight days before the elec
tion. Any person whose name is on the list may
have his right to vote challenged by any
qualified voter. He shall then make the
same proof of his right to vote as is now
required by law.
Any person claiming to vote whose name
is not on the lift shall prodjee at least one
qualified voter a resident of the district, who
shall subscribe to an affidavit, setting forth
the facts of the case that are within his
knowledge. The person so claiming to vote
shall also subscribe to a like affidavit, which
affidavits shall be preserved by the officers
of election; and if the board is satisfied of
his right, the vote shall be received and his
name added to the list.
Heavy penalties are prescribed for any
frauds connected with papers of natural
ization. Spring elections are abolished by the fif
teenth section of this act, and all elections
for city, ward, township, borough and elec
tion officers, shall hereafter be held on the
second Tuesday in October. The persons
elected to office at that time, shall take their
places at the expiration of the terms of the
persons holding the same at the time of such
election ; but there shall be no election of
Assessor or Assistant Assessor until 1870.
Such are the principal provisions of this
highly important law. The outrageous
frauds perpetrated ujon tho ballot-box, for
several years past, through fraudulent nat
uralization papers, repeaters, etc, and by
means of which the will of the people was
frequently set at naught, made a change in
our election laws a nece.- sity. If the provis
ions of the new law are strictly and faith
fully enforced, a repetition of such outra
ges upon the purity of the ballot box will be
greatly circumscribed is not totally prevent
ed ; and hence our readers can readily un
derstand why the Democratic leaders and
papers are so bitterly and persistently de
nouncing the new Registry law.
ihc Democratic newspapers are never
tired of asserting that the fifteenth amend
ment Is no being forced through to ratifi
cation against the wiil of tho people. Last
wecktba Legislature of Connecticut, chosen
Ly the people since the amendment was
proposed, ratified the fifteenth amendment
When it is remembered t'.at Connecticut
is the only doubtful State that has held an
election since the great amendment was
proposed, aud that she deliberately threw a
Democratic Administration overboard at
that election, and put a Republican one in
power, does it not seem as if the claim of
the Copperheads was a little flinisey? Or
is it their logic which is at fault?
The Marion (Ohio) Independent says, "A
person is almost tempted to believe that a
Democratic editor cannot tell the truth when
he tries." A great many persons are not on
ly "almost" but altogether "tempted to be
lieve" that a "Demoeratio editor"' never
does try.

s The Mount Vernon Estate.
As there seems to be some misapprehen
sion in regard to the recent announcement
that the Mount Vernon estate will be sold
shortly, many believing that the Washing
ton Mansion and tomb were included, we
are glad to be able to correct thj mistake by
a statement of facts. We take the follow
ing from the Washington Express:
The original plot of Mount Vernon con
tained 5,000 acres, which has been divided
from time to time among the relatives and
heirs of General Washington. The resi
dence and 1,200 acres descended to Mr.
John A. Washington, who occupied it for
many years. When it was understood that
he must sell Mount Vernon, and it became
likely the tomb of Washington would pass
into the bands of Btrangers, the Ladies'
Mount Vernon Association was formed,
with a Regent as presiding officer. A Vice
Regent was appointed for every State in the
country, and subscription books to the
Mount Vernon tund were opened. Through
the energy and patriotism of these ladies,
aided by the liberal contributions of Mr. Ev
erett, the amount required was realized, and
the home and tomb of Washington rescued
from strangers hands. For that portion of
the estate containing the mansion, tomb,
and 200 acres of land surrounding, the sum
of $200,000 was paid. The title of this
property is vested in the Ladies' Mount
Vesnon Association of the United States,of
which every dollar contributor is a recog
nized member.
The property now offered for sale is the
balance of the estate, which Mr. John A.
Washington reserved, and held at the time
of hie death. It has no connection, how
ever, with the purchase of the Association
already referred to.
Catholicism in Bnssia.
A rather singular dispatch, purporting to
be from Russia, was received in this country
by Atlantic cable, last week. Whether true
or not, we are unable to decide. The dis
patch referred to informs us that the Russian
Government "is considering a plan for the
reorganization of the Roman Catholic reli
gion throughout the empire." Now the
established religion of Russia is the Greek
Church. No other Church is officially rec
ognized, we believe, though the Jews and
Mahommedans are allowed their peculiar
beliefs under penalty of certain disabilities,
and the foreigners in St Petersburg, are
granted some freedom of worship. As to
the Roman Catholic religion, it has always
been the especial aversion of the reigning
family of Russia, because its prevalence in
Poland is considered the chief obstacle to
the assimilation and absorption of that peo
ple into the Russian national unity. With
in two years past severe enactments have
been issued against Roman Catholicism in
Poland, and the Government hai used every
effort short of actual persecution to force
the Polish people into the folds of the Greek
Church. It seems passing strange, there
fore, that the Czar, who, besides being the
despotic head of the civil government, is the
head of the Russian Church as well, should
be taking measures to reorganize the hated,
and, as he considers.the schismatical, Church
of Rome in his dominions. Either the cable
is playing one of its uot unusual fantastic
tricks, or this bit of news indicates a pro
gress in the direction of religious liberty in
Russia for which previous accounts have not
prepared us.
We have a good story about Grandfather
Welles, late of the Navy Department.
When he retired from office, he was a good
deal bothered about the expense of moving
his furniture and baggage back to Hart
ford. The franking privilege not being
quite elastic enough to cover his case, he
was permitted to take one of the Govern
ment vessels. Who permitted him we are
not informed ; but the vessel was loaded and
off the gallant old salt sailed for the Con
necticut river. When he got there he found
that vessels drawing more than six feet of
water could not get into the Connecticut
river, whereas his drew cloven ! Mr.Welles
had never been so much astonished in his
life. The result of it all was that Mr. Welles
had to go beating along the coast until he
found water enough at New London to
float his goods, and thence he 6ent them
home by rail, at just double the cost of
shipping them from Washington in the reg
ular way. Mr. Welles always was a re
markable man.
A Protestant Congress is to meet at
Worms, in Germany, on the 31st of May,
to take into consideration the recent invita
tion of the Pope to the Protestant churches
to send represt ntatives to the Ecumenical
Council, and to frame a reply to the same.
Worms has a historic connection with the
great religious revolution of the sixteenth
century. It was here that on the 17th and
18th of April, 1521, Luther confronted the
combined forces of the Church and the world.
At W orms the reformation properly began.
Since the Council of Trent which was a
complete failure, no attempt has been
made to have the divided Church repre
sented in one Congress until now. W
have no expectation that the Protestants of
trermany will agree to accpt the Pope's in
vitation ; but their reply will be a document
of some historic interest
Mrs. Cady Stanton goes it in this style
upon woman's dress, in the last Revolution:
"As to woman's dress, we think it superla
tively rediculous.from her heels to her head
a sheer invention of the devil to befool and
belittle her, and just as fast as she seeks ac
tive work and amusements she will lay it
aside. Already, at the g.ronasium and
skating pond, girls have donnned a dress
that leaves their luogs and legs free. The
idea that a woman Is made like a churn on
castors is fast passing away, and it will not
be long ere she, too, will honor the bifurca
ted garments and find new health and vigor
in deep breathing arid freedom of locomo
tion." It is reported that the receipts from the
tax ou distilled spirits, under the present
rate of fifty entsa gallon, are now double
those realized under the old tax of two dol
lars. This accords with the predictions of
those who advocated the change, and is
vindicating tie soundness of tbeir arguments.

Obituary.
The death of Matthew Caldwell, who died at
his residence in Pike township, deserves more
than a pushing notice, because his christian and
social character was marked and beautiful.
He was born in Lancaster county. Pa., on the
13th of June, 1787 ; he died on Saturday. April
24th. 1809, aged 81 years, 10 months and II days.
It will be seen that Father Caldwell was an octo
genarian, having not only passed three score
years and ten, but by reason of strength attained
to four score and almost two years.
He united with the Presbyterian chureb in 1824,
under the pastoral care of Rev. Gerry Bishop.
Soon after he was chosen elder. in which capacity
he served Christ and the church until bis death.
He organised the first Sabbath School in Pike t'p,
hence may be said to be the father, and for many
years the leader, of the Sabbath School cause in
his community. -
But now he is gone, gone from the risible to the
invisible world gone from his labors and suffer
ings here, to his rest and joy i n heaven. Though
dead, the fruits of his life are still with us, and
in ihem we have beautifully illustrated the pow
er of religion in the soul, serving as an incentive
to many to imitate that life and infusing new life
in others.
How truo that there is a moment when a man's
life is relieved on earth. It is when the eoffiu-lid
is shutdown, just before the funeral, when earth
has seen the last of the dead forever. Then
the whole life is lived over again, in the conver
sation of the people. The history of four score
years is soon talked over ; if a bad mnn, it will
so be docMred ; if a good roan, it will be spoken
of. Thus it was of the subject of this commnni
cation. The universal and unequivocal testimony
of all was . He was a good man ; not good simply
in the sense the world uses the term, but in the
sense that a c;rtuiintly converted heart to God
makes a man good.
Personally he was amiable in disposition and
kind in heart. Asacitixen be was upright and
enterprising; as a christian, humble and sincere,
faithful and true, liberal and self denyingasa
husband and father, lovin and tenderly affeo
tunate,and as a neighbor kind and obliging. In
business he exercised the most rigid integrity,
and his habits in life were marked by the strict
est temperance in all things. Such is the testi
mony of tonus and old. eooJ and bad.
And he died as he lived, giring unmistakable
evidence that with him Christianity was a great
prinoiple, it rested upon a deep toned piety in
the soul; not mere matter of circumstances or
levertsn emotion, but a life a habit; and he died
trusting in Jesus, with a firm hope of a blissful
immortality.
His funeral was attended by a large concourse
of people. - He leaves a wife and eight children
to mourn his loss : but tbev mourn nnt ih.i
having no hope May his mantle fall upon his
sons, and may they not only take hir place, but
waia in me iootsteps 01 tneir devoted fatber.
