Taking the census will cost the govern
mept 1,750,000.
The French Republic can now afford to
laugh at her German jailors-. Little Greece
has recognised her.
It is mux red that Gen. Pleasanton has
received the appointment of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue in place of Mr. Delano.
Commissioner Parker has nearly comple
ted his annual report. It is brief, and will
how the present condition of the Indians
-less hostile than for many year.
The announcement of the continued (se
rious illness of Chief Justice Chase, with
the probability of his eaily death, will cause
much sorrow throughout the land.
The Philadelphia lrcss made its appear
ance, last week, in a full dress of new type.
The Press is one of neatest look inc. and
most ably conducted papers in the State.
The Democrats continua to harp on their
degradation to the level of the negroes.
They show a just appreciation of their own
level. Incapable of rising, they would fain
trample down others, that they may eeetn
to be above them.
"Five years of peace only increases radi
cal distrust of the people and adds to their
thirst for bayonet rule." In reply to this
assertion of a Democratic paper, the New.
ark Courier remarks : False, every word of
it. But the people's di.'trast of the De
mocracy is increased, an J every day inten
sifies it. .It it is true that "whom the go Is
would destroy they first make mad," the
.Democratic party is doomed for destruction.
And the sooner it fa destroyed the better it !
will be for the country.
France has been singu'arlv unfortunate in
the present cor fliet with Pru;ii. Shs has
Buffered first through the insane precipitan
cy of Napoleon in forcing war nhsn no:,
ready for it upon a people who were. Next,
the surrender ot 'he Emperor had a demo
ralizing effect on the armic;. Following
tliese events came disastrous aeieats and
galling humiliations in rapid succession, to
rob the soldiers of their stock of patriotism,
courage and enthusiasm. The fall of 3Ie:z
was the crowning blow. And yet, despite
their long traiu of disasters, and disheart
ening defeats, and discomStures. the French
etill hold out bravely, and to the outside
"world, at least, show no evidence of fear,
but to the contrary re assert their ability to
repel the invaders from their soil. They
profess to see silver linings in all the dark
clouds hovering around them.
Ihs attention of the Democracy is direct
ed to another of Secretary I5outwo!i's prr
odicnl pill. The official statement of the
public debt, show a decrease of or?r five,
millions (5,10,296 73) of dollars in the
month of October making the aggregate
decrease sine March 1370, ninety-six and
a Jiatf millions. They may grumble as
much as they phase about the military dis
play in New York, and shed crocodile tears
over the '"forced resignation" (as they false
ly term it) of Secretary Cox ; hue the fact
that the Administration is steadily and rap
idly diminishing the puldic debt, is a truth
vrliich they cannot successfully deny, and
hence should magnanimously acknowledge.
Bat their habits of prevarication will not
permit them to accord the credit due the
Administration of President Grant by ad
mitting the facts, nor have they the honesty
to publish the official figures so that tho
truth may be known by their party follow
ers. Nay; "loving darkness rather tlisu
light" they excercise their iugenuity to keep
in ignorance all those over whom they can
exert any influence, iu the least. Such des
picable practices are reprehensible in ihe
highest degree, au J should meet th-j con
tempt of every honest man. yVhen will
the masses of the Democratic party learn to
regard their dishonest leaders in their true
character?

The Adminlstr.ition of President Grant
was attacked in its early dnys because, in
the words of dissatisfied Republicans who
were not appointed to oGce, "it had no
policy." Pretty much the same complaint
was made by the opposition orators and
journals. President Grant was "iii.becile"
and "incapable." IIo could nor either
originate a great measure or execute what
was marked out from him by wi.pr men.
He was no 'statesman." He was fond of
horses; did nothing but ftneke and go to
the seaside, abandoning his duties as the
head of a great naticn. We were told day
after dyy that his elevation to the Presidency
was a blunder, and something worse than a
blunder. No denunciation was too severe ;
no epiiithet was too contemptuous.
Nineteen months have pacJ, says the
New York Stmidurd, and Democrat and
Republican alike have found out that Presi
dent Grant has a policy a policy which has
maintained a Republican majority in the
Foity-third Congiess a policy which de
stroys tho hones of its political opponents
and inspires its friends with confidence and
enthusiasm. The country isju.it beginning
to know and feel that it has the strongest
Administration since thit of Jackson. It
is a r-olley of luw and order an I good govern
ment. It means the coilectiou ol the revenue
the payment o!" the public debt, the reduc
tion of taxation, tho protection of the
workingnian, tho runty of hi ballot box.
It Is a policy which m :ans that there shall
be an tr.d to treason an J rebeUi in, Sot'.th as
well as North a policy which means tha
the country shall be respected abroad, and
that the law .ha!l be supreme at home. It
means economy in the administration of the
finances, and the punishment of crime every
where. Tins, adds the Standard, is the
policy which President Grant has found,
and which lie is fearlessly executing.

"What i3 Doing.
Several days ago it was announced that
a protocol had been signed between the au
thorities in Paris and Bismaik, buspcuding
hostilities from November -A to November
2sth, foi the purpose of allowing the people
to elect members to a Constituent Assem
bly, which should meet on 15th. as a pre
paratory step towards establishing a perma
nent peace between the two belligerent na
tions. Later advices state that the negotia
tions for an armistice finally failed on ac
cuutit of Bismarck's persistent demands for
a cession of territory as one of the condi
tions of a peace.
Latest advices state th-it Garibaldi and
his command of mobiles bad been eurround

Tha Postal Service.
The Philadelphia Prcsx says : The report
of the PostuiasLcr General for 1870 exhibits
a gratifying approximation of the receipts
to the expenditures, the former being $21,
184,720.05, and the latter $23,993,837.03.
The receipts have increased 7. 78 per cent.,
and the expenditures only 1.32 percent, ovtr
tin previous fiscal year. Considering the
increased operations of the department, this
indicates a very creditableeconomy. During
the year closing with June 30, 1870, there
was a net increase of post offices cf 1.307,
the whole number being 28,492. The
number of miles of new mail routes establish
ed during the year was 750, involving an
increase of mail transportation of 6, 301, 593
miles, with an increased cost of $673,815.
The toia! number of mail routes in operation
June30,lS70, was 8, SGI, with an aggregate
length of 231.232 miles, involving an annual
mail transporation cf 97,02 l.POG miles cost
ing $10,864,053. Oi these 47.727 mile of
route were railroad lines, and 2G,f95 steam
boat lities.
Th.j free delivery system lias been in mc
c. fsful operation in fiity-one cities duting
the year. In this branch of the service 1,-
303 letters earners delivered 1 19,019.480
tcrs and 27,807,023 newspapers. All
brant-lies of this service show an increase
over last year, indicating thereat benefit to
the community of tin's arrangement by which
mail niaU'jr is delivered free of cot.
Our postal service, then presents the "two
gruttlying i'ea'uies of increased efficiency
and economy. Il allowance is male for the

The increase ot postal fLcilitirs marks the
growth of a Iicr.lt hy c':vi:ixation, and the
expendilurc necessary to effect it is the
smaller clement of care and thought. The
time is coming when the public voice will
demand a still farther reduction, and the
deficit of receipts, if any, will be cheerfully

The Grand Lodge tras opened at 15 min
utes before 3 2 o'clock, by the R. W. G. ?I.
and at 12 o'clock the impressive ceremony
of con.-ecrating the new lia.ll and installing
the rJicers ot the new lodstf commenced.
The w'ti jle service was one of the most in
teresting I have ever witnessed.
The brethren at New Washington have a
very neat sua convenient IoJe room, 2i by
51 feet, elegantly iurnislied tind appropri
ately fitted up in every respect the prop
erty of the I. O. of O. F. Iu the second

These- brethren are well qualified to d
the ' work," and I feel aatislird the Grand
, Lodge officers have committed tho interests
and dcntiuieii of this new lode t. conijie
tent hands and failLful hearts. The mem
bership of the new lo-Jge ii sixteen, with
the asiuranee of twelve or Sheen more
from Cherry Tree, Ausonrilis and G'.eu
Hope, as this is now the most convenient
lodge f or the brethren rsi Jiti? in these lo
calities. This uew lode liai aisj a 'umc or
jian, as well as an orjauist nho knows how
to use it Rio. I ti ti is.
In the evening at 7 o'clock, there was a
public meeting held iu the M. E. Church,
which was largely attended, notwithstand
ing the unplcai-anriiess of the weather. Ad
dresses were delivered upon appropriate
subjects, by U:ti.N T. Noble, Ym. M. Mo
CULLOiroiI, and JoilN LaWsIIE, Eqs., and
Rev. J a m ts Ii. McColm. After the cou-clu-iioti
of the services at the church, the
brethren repaired to tlie Lan i'ieli iR room
and did ample justice to a suiiiptu-ous repat
prt-paveJ for the occaioo.
On Friday tiiorninj:, October 2Sth, all
parties from a distance .started for their
homes, teeltng vvell aati.-.IleJ, tliac iijv only
the brethren at New Wahington, were
j.dly f.T:o, but that the cirizns. whose
houses were thrown open for i!i;iir accommo
dation, were a hospitable, ge'ieroiis-hearted
people. They have the tbatiks of the en
tire brotherhood in this community. Oa the
way home to ClcarS-.-id, the brethren stopped
at the Susquehanna Houis, wire th?y p-tr-took
of an elegant dinner, whieh Bro. EH
Bloom and his estimable .lady know so well
how to prepare. After dinner the party
resumed their journey and arrived at C'eai
cld about 4 o'clock. Thus ended one of
the most pleasant little episodes iu my tna
sonic life, ami I feel sure that at New
Washington there is a JTuLle lodge of noble
men, of whom the fraternity may well be
proud. O. I.
Tlie discovery of the wrecked Gimhrui is
the concluding chapter of the terrible disas
ter. There is no reason for expecting tidings
of passengers or others who were on board.
But for the almost miraculous escape of the
single survivor, probably the fats of the
Camlji ia would have been classed among the
mysteries which include half a d'.zeii fte.itn
ship and their human cargoes not heard of
since they s.tiied.
It is stated in the New Voik papers that,
during a recent parade in that c!ty, the
Democrats very generally carried Chinese
lanterns. That was decidedly cool, 1 ok at
it as you will. Tha "whito"' Democracy i.s
already bidding for the votes of tha "haythin'
Chinee.'
Notwithstanding all the efforts of the
Postoffice Department to diminish the busi
ness of the deal letter oftu-e. almost 10. 000
letters are returned daily. This is greatly
owing to earele.ss.-jpss of seuders in not put
ting ou legible directions.
