idea that the fraction in the party ranks wh

cue that his strength has heretofore been in
the eastern portion of the two Bounties; that
he still retains it there ; and that his canal

CITY DisEcroity.—The new city Directory
his been issued from the office of the Die
patch, n-nd is in all respect; one of the most
ere - tillable publications of the kind we have
ever seen. The work is neatly printed, con
tains an immense amount of valuable statis
tical information, and, so far se we are able
to judge, seems to be unusually reliable. The
publishers may well congratulate themselves
upon the successful manner in which• they
accomplished their difficult, and, we
fear. unprofitable undertaking. Too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon Mr. W. J.
- the compiler of the book, under
whose supervision the whole of the work •has
been done, and to whose thorough knowledge
of the duties of his position is owing in a
great degree . the exceedingly satisfactory
style in which the publication has been pre
sented.
The t'Atholics have Fiarchased the farm of
Wilson Laird , Eeq ,on the Lake road, about
four miles west of the city, and including the

comprises about one hundred acres of the
moat pleasantly situated and fertile land in
the vicinity. It is to be used as a Cemetery,

forbilllog interments in the old grounds after
the let of June, having compelled Ca* denom

certainly the best for that purpose in, our

perty ltift out and ornamented in a manner

Population of the City.
The publishers of the Dispatch are about
to issue a directory, and to add to its interest
have employed persons to take a census of the
city. The following -is their re fort of the
population within the corporate limits :

the adjoining borough of South Erie :

Excess of males,
This community is to all intents and pur
poses, really.a portion of the city, and as each
the population Is fairly to be counted ass por
tion of our oWn. The combined inhabitants
of the two places are as follows:
Total meter, 8.443
Total females, S,GSB
Total - white and black populatioo, 17,181
Colored—male: 58 ; female, Gl;
. ,
Total, 119, making in all, 17,250
The census, however, was somewhat hur
riedly taken, and it is but proper to suppose
that many per=ms were necessarily omitted.
Our cotemporary admits the probability of
this fact, and gives five per cent. for OIIIiPfIiODS,
which increases' the Fkpulation to 17.988, or
very nearly an even 18.000. It is in error.
though, in stating that tha U. S. emirate of
1860 made us - have a - population of ll 10e.
We have a copy of that report by our nits
and the following tire 114 figures for the City:
White males 4,589; white - female's 4 729—t0.
tat 9.318; colored melee 56 ; colored females
35—tota1.101 : in all 9,419.
The following table exhibits the increase in
the ci y proper during the last seven years:

At the time the U. S. cenans wa• taken, the
inhabitants in what is now knoivii aa South
Erie were very few in cumber * probably not
over 500 at the moot. The remaining portion
of the nopula ion in that borough may there ,
fore be rightly counted as apart of the - tn-.
crease of the city, which will give us a total
of 8 070
It must not he forgotten, • either, that there
is a heavy population in the- owskirts of *the
city and borough, which to the eye of a stran
ger seem as much a portion of both, as if they
were inside the corporate limits, and which,
so far as theiebusineQs interests are'eoncerned.
really form a share of our number. We do not
think the estimitte too low which fixes them at
:nearly tiro - thousand, and it is perfectly lair to
compute that the whole community directly
identified with Or: city, is little less than
twenty thous•.nd souls. At the rate of pros
perity our F cily has enjoyed for the last three
years, we shall add five thousand more in the
next thirty-six months, and we feel quite safe
in predicting that the census of 1870 will
show a total population of 25,000.
A curioas feature of the census consists in
the fact that while the white population has
increased at such a wonderful ratio, the col.
°red hes leod nearly still, only 16 having
been added to their number in the seven years.
The ftgures afford another indication of the
welt eettled theory that where Radicals most

INI.OrtSANT ?,lATTER.—The difficulty of
access for teams from the country into the
13wer portion of the city is exciting some in
terest, among our business men. It is begin
ning to be seriously felt that unless something
is done, the larger portion of the country,
trade will soon be driven South of the depot_
The city is enclosed on every side with rail
roads, and the main avenue of entrance from
the country crosses the track at a point which
ieespecially.busy. At certain hours of the
day, it is almost impossible to—pasi, on aerz
count of the moving trains, and the wonder
is that more accidents do not happen. The
trouble is increasing every year, as the busi
ness of the roads and the trade of the city
grows larger, and' some remedy must he de
vised before long or property h,olders north of
*he depot will have cause to repent their tar
diness. Among other plans which have beer
suggeited is the tuildingpf an arched culvert
under the railroad, across State street, and
the extension of the latter thoroughfare to its
full width out to the Buffalo road. By this
measure a convenient means would be scoured
for the entrance and egress of teams, and the
Present dangers, delays and terrors obviated„
It is strange that when so simple a mode of
obviating the difficulty of railroad crossing le
attainable, the community will tolerate the
prese i tit disagreeable state of
: affairs.' The
cost of building the culvert would of course
fall upon the railroad, companies, and we have
no doubt that if the measure were vigorously
pressei upon their attention,, they would
promptly fall in with it. We urge the subject
upon the consideration of our city authorities,
satisfied that if this or some other plan to
remedy the troubles now experienced at the
Peach street crossing, is not put into execu
tion before the next five years, it will be a
cause of lasing regret to property owners in
future. •
The Crawford Democrat says . : "By all.
odds, M. B. Lowry is the strongest man in
the Republican party of Crawford county, al
though this tact may not be admitted•by those
wbo have no claim upon his influence. Mark
MIT prediction—if Mr. Lowry becomes a I,can
didate for State Senate nest fall, end shakes
his gory locks, the impotency of any opposi
tion that may be raised against him will be
made manifest, and he will trip ovei the
course light footed and with flying colors."
We begin to fear that what the Democrat al
leges is not only correct of Crawtcrd county,
but of Erie county also. The enemies of Mr.
Lowry in his party ranks bite either not
sufficient courage; or - tire not•well enough
versed in political tactics, to render ail ef
fective opposition, and the expression made
to us a few days ago by an intelligent, ar
dent, but thoroughly disgusted Radical was
not far from the truth : "Morrow B. Lowry
carries the Republican organisation- of Este
'and Crawford counties in his breeches' pock
, ets."

The port of Buffalo continues to be closed
with ice, and navigation 'in that direction
is as effectually blocked as in the middle of

any direction. On the other hand, the harbor
of Brie has been open for three weeks, vessels
entering and leaving as freely as in the mid

facilities for a through trade to the East, the

What the results have been let the Conneaut

dealers in bottles and jugs are reaping a fine
harvest, the lovers of the "ardent" being
obliged to buy by the wholesale. We no
tice that it has also improved the express

- At a meeting of the Radical members of the
Meadville bar, on the 19th inst., Hon. David
Derrickson was unanimously presented as their
choice as the candidate of their party for Su
preme Judge. A similar movement, we learn,
is soon to be inaugurated here, with how
much success remains to Le seen. The Inti
mate association of Judge Derrickson with
Senator Lowry leads the Gazette' to oppose
him, as a matter of course, and that paper is
rigorously seeking to bead him off from re
ceiving any support here, by advocating the
selection of Judge Gordon, of Jefferson coun
ty. We doubt, however, whether it will be
able to triumph over the combined, ingenuity
of the indefatigable Lowry and the wily Der
ickson. The former need only blow his born,
and all the little dogs of the party wilt come
fawning and creeping at his. feet, ready to
obey any. command that their master may

Items of Local Interest.
The troubite between the Pettis and Fin-
nay factions of the Radicals in Crawford
county seetit-to hate been at length finally ad
justed. It will be remembered that each
county committee selected two delegates to
attend the Williamsport Contention. These
delegates subsequently met and selected one
from each faction to attend the State gather
ing, with instructions to support Judge Der
rickson Hating now agreed upon everything
that was likely to keep up the division, it is
no longer probable that the split will be con
tinued, and.we shall -awn, undoubtedly, find
'theist embracing one another u lovingly as if
they-had never been anything except the best
of friends. "Politicians," said Col. Crockett,
"are much like *school boys ; they will fall

policy dictates or occasion requires, become
as warm allies as they were desperate ene

The Department, fir 133M0 ineiplicatile rea
son, has seen fit to remove Mr. John L. Hart,
postmaster at Girard, and substitute Calvin L.
Randall, the former occupant of the office.
We know nothing of the causes which have
*led to this course, but it certainly seems odd
that if the Department was determined upon a
Chenge, it could not have found some one to take
Mr, Hart's place who is a friend of its policy,
inetead,of a blatant and offensive Radical like
Mr. Randall. The favorite old Know Nothing
coup'et:—"Sam works in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform"—might, with equal
force anti truth be applied to the preeeni Ad
ministration: . In - speaking of ttie change, the
Girard Union says:
"Although Mr. Randall had occation as
predecessor to Mr. Hart, to prove himself a
highly efficient postmaster, yet we regrel this
sudden and unlooked for removal of the latter,
who during the short time be occupied the of
fice, has proved him-elf equally capable and
efficient. Some of the uncertainties in this
life are government offices."
We -re informed on good authority that

strong s..pport from the Eastern townships
will hardly fill of oiliness, the nominee• being
conceded to that place. The city - will, of
course, be given one of the canditlates,'"and.
whoever he may

will
‘ fall upon some gentleman who will be
able to represent tie with ability,and guard cur
interests with fidelity. Our locality has be

The State tax in New York will be higher
this year than ever before,_ running up to ten
mills upon the dollar, or one per cent. The
time was in Pennsylvania when half a milt was
considered an enormous tax, and people grum

taxed one per cent., as in New York? If Rad
toil role continues much longer, the time
seems to be nearly at hand when the man who
has the least property will be the i, best off.

these who wish boots or shoes made to order
can iely upon it that he will furnish them in
satisfactory mant*r.
Mr- Barnum, the up-town druggist, is agent

There will, undoubtedly, be a vast demand for
the soap as soon'ae it is known that he has 'it
on hand.:
Two young men (1) of Meadville having

brother of the lady caught the scoundrels on
