deceit and depravity. He is one of
that rare class of beings to whom pnblio
contempt is an enjoyment, and who are
determined to secure notoriety in some
manner, if it costs all that most men think
worth living for. Let the viper hiss and

TM PUBLIC DEBT.
Mr. licCirmocu has published a state
ment of the public debt of the. -United
States as appears from the books, treas
urer's returns, and requisitions in the de
partment on September 30. As the object
of these statements is to enlighten the peo
ple of the United State, in regard to the
condition and management of the public
accounts and the national expenditure, so
that they niay form intelligent opinions,
not only in regard to the administration
of affairs at Washington, but also as to the
course of the money and other markets
which aired directly their business oper
atiqns, it is matter of regret that Mr. Idc-
Cuaoca follows the routine of statements
initiated by Mr. Qum instead of publish
ing the details required daily and month
ly by the act of Congress passed in 1844,
and interpreted practically by the nnvary..
ing usage of the government until 1860.
In the absenee of these details, we place
before our readers a comparison of the of
ficial exhibit of the public debt since the
advent of peace on March sl, with that
on September 30:

Immo In dibt slam Mardi 31, 024, 714. 808.
These official figures show that the na
tional debt has increased '5524, 799, 502
since lifarCh 31, a peribdOf six months, or
at the rate of $Bl, 457, 417 per month, er
about $l, 050, 000, 000 per annum. This
amount does not, however, exhibit the
full sum of expenditures during the last
six months, because the returns from cus
toms and internal revenue for the year
have been received and disbursed, and do
not appear in the form of statement given by the
department. To arrive at the expenditures
during the last six months, it is; therefore
necessary to add the receipts from cus
toms and internal revenue, which are es
timated at about $3OO, 000, 000, thus mak
ing the amount expended by government
from March 31 to September 30 about $825,-
000, 000, or at the rate of $l, 650, 000, 000
per annum. In the official statement of
the public debt, the clerk who audits it
has deducted from the legal-tender busses
the coin and currency on hand ; but as
these are held, in whole or in part, against
the orders of disbursing agents, and for
the payment of interest accounts, their
deduction from the total, in placing be
fore the people the amount of their indeb
tedness, isclearly inadmissible.
The amnia interest due in coin is in
creased during the last six months, $984,-
949, and the annual lawful money interest
is Increased $33, 707, 7/6.
The official figures show that govern
ment has increased directly, since March
31, the 'paper-money issues of the country,
by legal-tender notes, $2l, 100, 000, and
indirectly, by national bank notes, $92,-
085, 880, making the total increase of pa
per money. during the last six months
$ll3, 185, 880. The national banks are
adding to this sum about $3, 000; 000 per
week and are authorised by existing acts
of Congress to increase their paper-money
issues about $llO, 000, 000 more than at
present; the amount issued to September
30 being $l9l, 411, 480, against $99, 325,-
600 on March 4. The whole amoint of
paper money in the loyal Astern before the
re b e llion was about $l5O, 000, 000, and in
all the United States about $200,000,000,
These figures give some faint idea of the
rapid strides Inflation and bank expansion
have made since the advent of pesos.
TIM ELM:7I'IOM.
The election returns from the State are
very indefinite, and afford no opportunity
of deciding the actual result. The Repub•
li mns , as usual, are claiming a large ma
jority, but they will come down consider.
ably in their figures before the week is
ended. Up to the hour at which we write,
10 o'clock, on' Thursday morning, no ti.
dings have been received upon which a
reliable calculation can be based. The
vats throughout the State is light.
In Ohio, the Republican candidate for
& m aser is, of course, elected, but the
opposition majority has been vastly ro
uted. They are claiming the State by
25,000 now, which is a pretty sure indica
tion that their majority will fall consider
ably below that number. In 1864, Li s _

"General McClellan was one of the ablest

faithfully and efficiently until he was re

two thousand six hundred and fifty-eight.
Among those lately pardoned is L. Pope
Walker, the first rebel Secretary of War,
who gave the order to open fire upon Fort

Nom amaxa.—A correspondent of
the ?ma, ea of the special mail agents,
writes nuclei:date of September 23d from
liontgomefy, Ala., as follows:
I am satisfied that no factions opposi.
tion need be apprehended to the policy of
the government concerning the negro, or
upon any other of the issues affecting the
Southern restoration to Union and peace.
They simply desire to 'resume their old
relations with the government, and tally'
quietly and obediently under the old flag.
The radicals of the rebellion stand a poor
chance of being elected to Congress. I
candidly believe-there is lesi bitterness of
feeling now entertained in the South to
wards the people of the No'th than for
many years preceding the war.

The expenses of the fzitate Government for
the year 1860, were $282,899,71 ; for 1862,
in the heat of the war. were $411,804,93, ;
for 1864, they were $600,021,45 ; an in
crease of nearly $200,000 over that of 1862:
In 1863 the expenses of the
_Legislature,
were $183,550,62 ; last year 'they were
$201,815,711 The voters of the• State can
judge from this bow much they &nab',
entrusting the management of our com
monwealth to the Republican party.
Ws are enured upon what we regard
as reliable authority, that every Federal
office holder in Erie county sustains
President Johnson's reconstruction pol
cy. The rumors prevalent that several of
them took sides with the radicals, and
were determined to resign their places
rather than be obliged to endorse the
measures of the administration, we !earn
from the same reliable source, are entirely
unfounded.
A correspondent of the Albany Argus
says that a bet is offered of $lO,OOO in gold,
that the Democratic ticket in New York
will be elected—sl,ooo on each of the ten
candidates.. The money is placed, in
specie, in the hands of Duncan & Sherman,
New York, where any one desirous of talc.
log the wager, in whole or in part, can be
informed of the name of the challenger.
The New York ?Fibre quotes editorial
ly and approvingly the declaration of a
Mississippi correspondent. that if Presi•
dent Johnson's "State Militia orpniiition
is to go on, the• Government would do
well to be mustering in rather than mus.
tering out' United . States troops." The
President responds by ordering the Vet
wan Reserve Corps mustered out.
The Vicksburg Hacld learns that the
property of Joseph h. Davis, elder brother
of the President of the late Confederate
States, located in Warren County. and the
property of Gen. Wm. T. Martin, of Nat-
°hes, Him, has been restored to them•;
also, that the property of Jamb Thompeon
and Gen. N. B. Forrest has never been at
tached at all. -

Pithole has its Opera House and its Theater.
The first had better be left alone in its glory,
with its poor whisky, bad music and danger
ous "sirens." The theater is ai much as any
thing else that is seen in this City of Wonders,
a reminder of its rapid growth, and a mono.
mint to the energy and publio spirit of its
proprietor. It is no long hall, in which every
one is uncomfortable, and no one can see, but
a regularly planned theater, built for the
purpose. It has its gallery, its dress circle,
its orchestra and orchestra seate,'and private
boxes. The stage is of good size, and the
scenery and properties good. The plays
nightly produced before the Pitholesne are all
of a high character, and though as a matter
of course many go expecting to be regaled
with the coarse witticisms, and broad jokes,
generally common in such places, yet, except
in some of the afterplecem, they will be, disap.
pointed.

even if her grace of manner and power as an

Quite "a quarrel is now going on between
the Vigilance Committee and those who think
that that institutionmas a little fast at times.
No doubt at one time for • month or so a
Vigilance committee was needed, but it should
have been constituted if at all, by the people
at large, and not by a clique of irresponsible
men, who, beelines they were related to those
who owned the fee of the farm on which Pit.
hole is built, aspired to become public char
acters and once holders. There is now no
need of a Vigilance committee, and the less
said about it the better. What is needed is a
strong police force, appointed according to
law. Two oases of garroting have ocenrred
on the main thoroughfare of the town, and
with daring impertinence. Esquire Solley's

no man can live long in Mole without be

custom, and, honesty in common Weisels
transactions esteemed by the public, will at
first be astounded, then confused, and then
disgusted; and perhaps be so impressed with
admiration of man's ingenuity in cheating his

—The oil towns of the State are estimated
to have the following population ; Corry,
6,000; Titusville, 10,000; Oil City, 4,600;
Pithole, 6,000; Franklin, 5,000.—An old
soldier gives it, as his deliberate opinion,
that, next to marching in front of a masked
battery, the most courageous act required of
a lean is to have a tooth pulled.—The
trains on the Philadelphia road now ran as
follows: Erie express leaves 2:05 afternoon,
arrives 8:35 night; Erie mail leaves 1:25
night, arrives 5:25 afternoon; Erie accommo•
dation leaves 8 morning, arrives 6:42 even

people, we presume, are aware that by an act
passed last winter pupils can be admitted into
the public schools of the State only between
the ages of six and twenty one years. Direc
tors are authorized to dismiss any children
sent to the schools under six years of age.
—Twio damsels, passisg through the

depot a day or two sines, were having an an
imated discussion on the subject of coiffure,
and one was overheard to say : "What do
you think, Maria, it took me thirty five
minutes, this morning, to make my water
fall." The Warren Lager says Prof.
Jones' new Gallery exhibited five nights in
that place to good houses. It hopes he will
visit Warren again at an early day.—The
editor of the Williamsport Bulletin was mar
ried the other day. He must be • a bold man
to undertake such a feat.—An exchange
thinks the shortest road to intently is to be
"an editor; let the workmen be waiting for
copy ; prepare to write an article, and get
a few sentences done ; then let an acquaint.
anoe drop le, and begin to tell you stories
and the gossip of the town; sad let him sit.
aid sit., and sit." We can vouch for the *or
realness of the picture. The attention
of the public is directed to the crowd of young
men who gather upon some of cur street
corners nightly, and make night hideous,
to - ate hour, with their yells and songs. We
-'t endorse the Republican platform as a
"1 general thing, but that sort of "free speech"
ought to be "suppressed." The Westfield
Republican says as Mr. A. M. Culver, of that
village, was stepping on to the train east, at
this city, a week or two ago, he had his pock.
etc picked -of twenty - three hundred
dollars, a quantity of oil lessee, and other
valuable papers. The Fenian Brother
hood is creating much attention at the pres
•ent. time. Our-citizens, especially the Irish
portion, will be interested in learning the
origin of the name. It is said to be derived
from the "Gaelic word Fiann. In the anti
gusted Gaelic it is Written Finand. It • was
a name given to an order or class of piofes ;
sional soldiers among the Pagan Irish, long
before the Christion era. In ordinary times
the Fiann consisted of three legions. In esah
legion there were 8,000 men, but in war there
were usually seven legions."—The Warren
Mail' states that some three years ago Sheriff
Kinnear, of that county, and others, objected
to zhe employment of Democratic printers in
that office. It now cites, to prove his incon
sistency, that the ex-Sheriff, in the late can
vass, co-operated with the fathers .of these
same Democratic priniers in opposing the
regularly nominated Republican ticket of
Warren county. The fact would seem to us
of no more importance this as an indication
that the Sheriff was somewhat of a fan;tio
"three years ago," and has progressed some
what on the road to good sense.--i . " There,
now," cried a little girl, while remising a
drawer is a bureau, "Grandpa has _gone to
Heaven without his spectacles.'!-----A New
York correspondent relates the following: "A
gentleman largely counseled with the oil spec.
Illation, and connected with a dozen or more
oil companies. rolled up a fortune, it is said,
of half a million in a few months. He made
a splendid speculation in the purchase of a
building down town, for which he was offered
fifty thousand dollars above what he gave Ter
it, the day after ho bought it. He held on
to his oil stooks until he lost all he made and
failed. His building was sold for eighty
thousand dollars less than he gave for it, and
he 'is now a bankrupt—a specimen of the
sudden rise and sudden fall of • menand for.
tunes in this city."
As Mrs. Margaret Bonifield was crossing

One of the best Livery stables in the
oily is that kept by M. D. Osborn.. He Ku a
large and line lot of horses aid conveyances.
Dire him a trial. The co. jell, on Mon !
day contained thirteen permanent occupants.
It is *reported - that the late 'editor of
the Geniis avows his intention of starting
another, paPer, with which he threatens to-run
allthe others - out of the city. We think that
about the best joke of the season.-Char
lerWunn has some plumtrees in his garden,
en Pooch- et. wbioh are in bloom for the see
cud time this year. Mr. Liddell, on Tenth et.,
bee a second crop of strawberries in his gar
den.—Altimouglk all the Erie county wells
have gault water end some oil, none of
them sz e4t the Althoff, have furnished the
latter' in. quantities sufficient to • pay for
pumping. The third sand rock, in which the
oil is found In largest quantities, has not
been struck in any of our wells. , =—Mr.
k W. Goff, late book keeper in the Dispatch
office, iiias purchased the grocery store of J.
S. Sterrett, on Peach street, and will con-
tinue 'he trade st the old stand.—Mr. E
L. Clark, late of the Gazette, announces that
he did not leave' for "parts unknown," as
stated in the Dispatch last Week, bat was ab.
sent, on a business trip in the East. He
expects to be away for another week, when
he promises to return to Erie; and "endeavor
to melt and satisfy the very few who have .
dahlias against" him. The "very few" arm,
of his intentions.
Five sette of ernes! were stolen from the
stables of the Express company, on stn et.rev.,
oh Friday night last. They hre of a peculiar
make, and cannot be need in these parts
without detection.— Griswold, alias the
"Fat Contributor," 'alias "Hunkidori," has
prepared szt illustrated comic locture of the
oil'eountry, somewhat similar fh design to
Artemus Ward's Mormon Sheen, with which
he will soon visit Erie.—The property of
James Lytle, on Fifth street, has been pur
chased by Messrs. John 8. Carter and N.
Murphy, who design extending their stores
back the full width of the sqnare.—The
boilers of Stearns & Marsh's Presque fele
Iron Works are heated by gas carried under
neath them by pipes from the 10th street
well. Two twelve horse power engines are
thus driven, at a much Jede expense than
' would be required for any other sort of fuel.
So well satisfied are the owners of the well
with this first experiment, that they have
laid another pipe to the Erie City Iron Works,
through which they convey gas to the boilers
of that establishment.— Messrs. S. H. Kel
sey and Jacob Diefenthaler are erecting an
lqi hod. at the little cascade, 250 by 100
feet in dittensiona—A movement is on foot.
to secure the building et n street railway,
from this dock to Federal Hill, with branches
to the cemetery and machine shops of the
Philadelphia road. It is in good hands, and
we rely almost confidentlY hn its speedy clam
pletion.—Aa an instance of the business
done in Erie, we may state that in the week
ending September 80th, the number of letters
received at the poetoffioe seas 8,120, or at the
rate of 422,240 a year. flupposing the same
number to be seat from ,the office, it would
give a total, per year of :844,480. Can any
place of the same else. beat this 7—The
councils are exhibiting a proper spirit in en
couraging the efforts to Maintain a permanent
fire department in the city. They have or
dered that the Pennsylvania engine shall be
repaired for the use of company 8. The work
of reform will not be complete until each
company has been provided, with a substan
tial and comfortable engine - house.—Our
staunch old Democratic f!ieud. Captain Dun.
lap, has come off victorious in the oontept over
the harbor mastership, as !he deserved to.
The question having beenlreferred to the city
solicitor, he decides thatithe appointment of
another person in Captain D.'s place was
illegal.—The local of the Dispatch having
received one of the hul-bik lottery ()hooters,
ensuring a prize for $5,p00, provided that
$lO be Sept to pay for al ticket, replies by
authorizing the parties to 'deduct the ten dol.
tars and send on the balance.—The post
office has been improved by, the addition of a
large number of new boxes, and separating
the placei, of general and box delivery. Now,
let one permanent clerk be employed for each
window, and there will be nothing left to
complain of.—A. firm giving their title as
J. H. Adams & Co.,'agente fora lottery house
at Covington, Hy., have been - distributing
their circulars in great abundance • through
our county % We caution our readers opined
having anything to do with them. They are
rascals of the first order. The same spay be
said of all the jewelry and other concerns in
jfew York, who offer large returns for small
investmentar----James Burchfield, one of the
Partiea arrested in connection with the North
Bast bank . robbery, and discharged by the
parties before whom he was taken, has sued
the editor of the Meadville Journal for slan
der. An article reflecting rather severely on
him appeared in that paper directly after
Burchfield's arrest.—The Warren equnty '
fair at Yonngsville is described to us as hav
ing been deficient in interest, although largely
attended. The Meadville fair is pronounced
by the Greenville Argus a "fizzle." . We have
not heard of one fair in all this section of
country, which has been what really deserves '
to be called ti success. The people appear to
have lost their former tuts for this sort of
exhibitions. •
