Leaving the scene of bu-y industry, we wended
our way to another, and yet more noisy scene the

Our Houshr.
We regret t"ia Old ChunticUtr, placed at the
bead of eur columns la t Saturday morning, was
nut p i mi t d to ciow mote than an hour or two
We had kept b.ck our pnp r until the last moment
for tbe Harriabuig mail. We had been pr t y well
sutistVd by former re urns, that wt were U. K.,
Oil Kurnertit.ly ae eial hundred major ly. But
several of our lu st sanguine fr end had been in
formed of a letter lhat had ju-t been reeeived from
the Secret try of the Cuiimiun wealth, which gave u
the atsls by about 300. Ws iheielore concluded,
if our Rooster waa destined to crow at all for a year
to come, it must be then. Po .r fellow, bad but a
short life of it; but he er.wrd most tremcudous'y
while ho waa at it
a BSa
Orkward Kondlllon.
The resu't of the late elections hat certainly
plnod the elate of nlfiirt in an awkward condition.
A a good democrats il behoves us to look around
ai d ascertain if possible Ihe cuUnee of our d feat. In
the midfl of ihe gener d din of log cnbii a, hard ci
der, and coon k:ns the import ince if the mystic
letters O. K. hat been," we th'nk, greatly over
looked. We begin to prrceivj in t .em a vast
deal of meanii g.
The first O. K. waa undoubt dly Daniel We'ntrr
the OnarailubU Kandidate, who in order to make
room for Gen. Harrison was e.-nt to Europe, anJ
was Ihi refore (). K. Off the Koune.
We think we next perceive these mystic letters
representing the Convention at llarrisburg which
nominated Gen. II unison for ihe Piesidency, leav
ing a numlier of whigs lo excluini " O. K OA .'
A'iM Oari'L Komsisjatiox.
Then ngain we see how successfully ami fre
quently ihe wl.ijshave mi-represented and invert
ed the sieech of our talented Senator, James Bu
chanan. This, to say the least of i', was O. K.
Ongentltmanl; Conduct.
Again the unjust attempt to sud.lle Ihe admin's-
tratinn nf Mr. Van Burcn with the defilcations of
Ssmuel Swartwout, Ihe late whig collector at New
York, whom all unite in condemning as O. K. a
mot Onprinciplrd Knllrctor.
Then next we think our own party crre.I in re
fusing to nominate Co'. Johnson as a candidate for
Vice President at the Baltimore Convention, thus
leaving the gsllsnt Colonel, O. K. Off the Karpct.
In conclusion we O. K. Onvf!y Konrm that
under all these disadvantages together with the
active and determined zeal of the whi)-t the pres
sure of the times the nvsrepreseutations of the po
licy of the administration ve should not be sur
prized thai Mr. Van Buren has been O. K. an
Onsuecm'fiif Kandidate.
The Cunl Tradr.
Such is the demand for the Coal of our Shamo
kin reg'nn, ih.it the operator! find il imjot idle to
supp'y all the onlera receive '. A double sot of
hands are cona'antly employed, work'ng the m'n t
day and night, while both locomn'ivea are kept on
the road brincirg in the coal. Yit we doubt whe
th r ihe quantity brought in, will be more than
half aa much as might be readily ili osed of in the
ma.k t.
The Snubnrj' Gnzrttr and its rrophrtif Editor.
We had iu'pocd that after the feverish excite
ment of the election had subfide.l, the paroxisms
w hich friquenlly affi ct our neighbor of tbe Sunbu
ry Gsze'te wou'd also have ceased. But in thia we
were miitak n. Personalities, strife and con en
tion, ii the only f md on which tome minds can
exist. Deprive them of th s, their projier and nc
cesiarv aliment, and thev a'nk in lanirour. Should
ihe disease continue much longer, we may l in
dileid lo imply a corrective that will not fail in its
i ffects. Lenient meisurcs, we sec, ate i.ot always
ffi'cti'e.
The editor of the GuX'-tle, when this press was
about to lie eMahlishcil, announcrd hiins If to the
woild as a prophe', and prophesied thai Ihe Ame
rican, aftrr the county i lections were over, would
come out for Hurri on. But unfoituuately like all
tber prophets, ' be had but little hon. r in his own
country,'' and reaped about at much from a' road.
In hU las-t pnper he has postponed the event, until
af.i r the pr sident'ml election. Now we are s rry
to sta'e that we must ngiin disappoint hi p, and of
eon isc hit ehnncter as a prophet must be serious
alTcc:.-d. We are willii g to oblige Mr. Youngman
iu almost any thing, but we cannot think uf desert
'ng i he di m cratic ranks merely to please him. Wc
know he would much like lo ice us in the whig
ranks, 'nlo which be and a number of other ed tors
if his stamp have already driven too many demo
crats. If our political principles were as pliable as
those of a certain editor, whom, rut of delicacy, we
wi.l not name at presi nt, wo might probably be in
due d lo bi nd our principles to suit our interests.
Tbe "AmtricW! has hoisted Iter flag, and ahe will
never sail under any other while in the bands of
the present editor. But the G.n-tie says we were
smiling and highly pleased when we returned from
the city with the Lancaster county returns in our
poiket. This was uuforiuu..le. But nature never ;
provided us with an "elongated pl.ix," and if we did
not wesi at long a face as our brother editor, he j
thould not impute io us the fault. We would re- j
call to hit mind die celebrated vere of Pom, thst i
" Worth (nn h-nstb) makes the man, ihe want of j
it, the fellow." j
The truth is, we Lad scarcely Ian. led from thi boat j
wh n we were greeted by a number of whig friends, :
for whom, persmally, we entcitaiu the highe.l le
gir.l, eagerly inquiring after the election returns.
Poor fi ll.iws ! t.iey so seldom fuceej iu beating us, I
l! at we could not help but smile al the joy lhat '
beamid upon their countenances, as they received
fiom us the returns lhat were s fl timing to their I
pioftpccts- Besides, we deem it perfectly democra- I
tic lo be cheerful even under defeat, and wa think I
we are nol without authority on this point Tbe ;
editor of the G. telle will probably recollect leading i
al school an account of two dislin glibhrd gentle- !
men, one called Dcinocritua, the laughing philos.v ;
pher, the otter Heraclilus Ihe weeping philosopher. I
Acc. rJing to Democritus, the greateM good in thii 1
world waa coiileitlmenl. On the other band Her
Scl.lit vieweJ all things through a sullen and
g'oumy medium. Well, if we are not m'ataken,
there was not a boy in the cla.s bul who thought
lle.ai litus ihe greatest dunce of ihe two- But, for
aught wa know, the editor uf the Gaxetie may be
a disciple of the weeping philosopher, and hence
hit antipathy to our pleasant looks, Democritus no
doubt, was a democrat, as his name seems to imply.
And ss we (the democrats) always have been a
good-natured set of fellows, we would nol be sur
prised lo find that D-'Oiocritua was one of the eaily
leaders, if nol the original founder of the demit
cratic party. Thus, we think, wa have ptoJ most
eonr!u Ively that a man may look very pleas inland
yet ml lie a Harrison man, and that his smiles
shoulJ not be considered prima facia: evidence of
tils belonging lo the whig party.
Court Sqinibblr.
It is n Jt often that lawyers fiffh', either in or out
of court, unt ss in a war of words. Their province
is to settle instead of raising disputes. Il will be
aeen, however, by the following extract from the
aentence of Judge Conrad, wh eh we copy from the
IT. 8. naiitr, that Mr. Iloiatio Hiihhcl of the Phi
l uli lphi i bar could not repress his pu jnacio is pro
pensities, even within the bar of the court. Such
disgraceful scenes ah mid be visited with Ihe seve
rest penalty; and we are pleased to see that Judge
Conrad ha-, fearlessly dischargee! his duty, however
unpleasant it miy have !ecn.
The facts in the prerenl ca-e are as f.llows:
During the he .ring ot the esse (lhat nf the Com
moti wealth vs L-djiburr) Mr. Hubbell addressed
Ihe c urt a id made a ttalcment of what h:d occur
ed in the Magistrate's offic-, Mr. Brewster said,
or waa understood lo say, thit he "wished tho case
stripped of fal-hood." Mr. Hubbell interrupted
him, and exclaimed " Do you aay th it wh .t I smd
was fulse I if you do, I will a!ap your face ;" and
before Mr. Brewster had time to reply, aclu d'y
slrnrk him with the lack of his hand on the fac-.
Subsequently Mr. Brewster declared In Ihe court
thut he had been entirely misiinder-t iod ; and thut
if Mr. HubUII had permitted him to proceed, he
would h ive discovered that he refeired only to false
issues which had arisen from the misr. prese n'a'ioni
of seme witness before the alderman. Mr. Hubbell
accepted this explanation ss sstisfnclnry, and ap J-ogi-ed
to Mr. B. for the violence which he had
commuted. From the areeptance of this explana
tion we aie not permi ti-d t.t dou't its correc'ms-.
Tnus it appeara lhat Ihe attack was unprovoked,
though tho precipitation of Mr. Hubbell led him to

however, dietinctly tindcistontl, lhat while w.- would
consider sn impeachment of ihe veracity of couu-cl
as h ghly di-resxctful and ontempteotis lo the
court.no provocation can be regarded a ju-tification
of violence in the couithouse. The wrong, in this
cs'B, was done lo a brother of the profession, and
was done as publicly as was possible. Tho blow
was infl cliil rather on the reputation than on the
person of Mr. Brewster, sod intended more to de.
grade lhan to irju e. Thus thai which would
be a gro-e violution of the law any where, is a;griir.
ated by the peculiar injustice and cruelty of ihf
wrong ; and considered in connection wi.h the pi ice
where it was comm tt. d the bar of thecourth me
witlrn a few feet of the bench, and when the
per onsreken was addressing the couit, it m'.isl
be riengn'zed us an outrage of the gr.aeesl cliaiac
ter. The duty of ronounriog the pen Ity of the Ij.w

sulij cl is a member f that profea ion which we
all cherish with so much of affection and pride.
Hut lo pn teiniii that duty, from any erion.il con
siderations, would be lo give eur unction si.d war

our course should nol be misunJerslno.l. We are
not moved by any desire lo do just ce to Mr.
Brewster, he proclaims bim clf sat idied, md if he
is not, he has his legal remedy. Nor would wo
vindicate any senc of wounded dignity on our
own parr, as individual-; wa haveevery r os- n to

TIIU .IO.CV MARKLT,
We have had anoih-r week of deep and absorb
ing excitement in relation to politics. Thousands
of iersous have ase nbled from day to day in the
vicinity of the Exchange, and in front of the va
rious niwspaprr bulletins, ell auxiou- for tbe news.
Under such circumstances, we cannot experience
surpjiso, that f w event of importance have trans
pired in tho money and business circles. Slocks
have experienced little change of moment, and
with regard to money, the indications are, that it
will soon lie in more derand. The European
acc unta cannot be c inaidered favorable upon the
whole, while the prospect of resumption must alao
have a tendency lo create tome degree of prcs ure,
or rather more demand for money. The batik ar
rangement with regai d to a icsump i n, i'C insider
el settled, silk ujt ihe del iils have not been finally
ai d fully agreed upon by thd high conl.ac in j pa--t
es. Iu ihe o'her stale south a .d west, ai align
ment are also in progress, the perfection of which
will, it e.ms, depend in a great m -asure, upon ihe
fi al movent, nts in Pi nn -ylvsnia. The I'.St.tia
Bank, it is still in.isied iu the New York Journal
of Commerce, will nut resume. That apor affirma
that Iba necessary assislauo cannot be obtained
eastward, and lhat thus the arrangement so long
talk d of and said lo be perfitc ed, will fall through.
Our bai.kera in Philadelphit, ridicul these things
s croakiugs, auj say lit it tlie Journal is so pieju
d c.d. lhat il is not entitled lo credit in any thing
that relates lotbe Bank of the United State. The
question i o. e of great interest, and therefore we
are anxious to spread before our readers every thing
like fact that haa a bearing uimn the esse, and ev.
eiy thing ind. el like reasonable speculation. Thus

17,090,000 jf English capiul which wa invested
ia the old Bank of the United Suies, was remitted
sbro id during the year previous lo the war, on the
dissolution of the Bank in 1911. This laid the
grounJ work of most of the evils which the coun
try experienced for many years afterwirds. A dc
mmd to originating must preclude from ill nature,
any fresh loans abroad. The remittance muat be
made in coin, or in produce by reducing to Ihe
proper extent the importatione. Precisely it tha

and support the multif.ul his inlere ts connected
with the insolvent banks. If a new institution can
be crecteJ on the ruins of the old, in such a manner
at lo comm md the confi l.-nce of foreigners, it
might retain the capitol in (he country, which wi I
be withdrawn from the broken binks. This is,
however scarcely to be expected. The st ckhold
rs of ihe United States b tnk have aliculy lost onfl
year's dividend, and as the bank acknowledges lhat
tta capital ia impaired, there is no s'lance of a Janu
ary dividend. With such a losi before them, it
will be difficult to establish confidence."

satisfactory arrangement his been male wi'h tho
cafew capitalists, and proceeds :

Jo we again hear this glad intelligence. But do

bu lines that i, their resources bore that propor

greatly increased their immediately available means
as well as h ive improved their condition generally.
The'r ipecie has been increased and their indebted

of the low rate of exchange betwem this city and
ipecie paying pnii is, and the light lusin ss and
little demand for money has ju t passed over, and
no re ump ion, our confi lence in tho future,we con
fess is much weakened. Few of the favorable
circum-it ince necessary to a resumption can bo
hoped for between this and tho 15th of January.
Business has increased the demand for money, ex
change has risen, and tho demand for coin for ex
pmtati. n has cauaod a considerable increase of tho
discount on our already depreciated paer. The I iw
ol Congress, loo, which require! a proportion of the
pubbc i.U' t in coin, will increase the demand for
specie, cspecia'ly ao long as the banks remain as
they now are. An I lastly, the accounts of the loan
necessary for the bank to resume are quite contra
dictory and unsatisfactory."
It will thus be seen, thai tome of the j urn ilisls
still throw a douM upon this matter. Mr. Jaud.m
an I two of tho Directors, Messrs. Brown and Al
sop, have gone lo Europe in the President, and it
is believed, with the object of obtaining assistance
from that quarlei, in the shape of specie, leal any
lit ng should prevent the success of the nrrangement
in contemplation with the eastern banks and c.ipi-tai-ts.
In relation lo re umption elsewhere, we can only
repeat that it will depend principally upon the
movemen s in this city, although not altogether so.
All the solvent tout: em and western banks are
gelling teady ; but wc muat nol be eurprisej to see
afwoftheee institution f liter and quail at the
critical and important movement. Generally speak
