When the last report of the Poor Directors a.l. published. we took occasion to allude to the matter in a tone of Mild criticism, and ..:nef• then facts have come to our knowl -I,ze uhielt more than ever eonvince us of ner, , ity for a thorough invo , itigation. A “rre.ootlelent of the Gazette, whp has taken the ',tin , to foot hp the variouf reports of !!.e Direeteers from 1850 to the present year, some information which is calm ) teed to startle the community., We learn from his statement that in .1850 tthe amount :I,•,sed was $2,000, of which there an unexpended balance of: $950 at the el , oe or - the )par. In 1855 the lax had in emised to $4,500,•,and the salaries paid to , tileent was $926. In 1860 , the tax had doubled, amounting to $B,OOO. The Lumber of paupers had also grown to enor mraes proportions, being in the latter year 74 indoor, 012 outdoor, and 52:1 transient, lino only 97 indoor in 1855. In 1845, the n.o, lead increased still more largely, i,;• amount ot tax collected being given as 'PltiOu, ith a debt at the end of the year 14 fr'2,061 'rid+ sum Isout of all proportion to the number of paupers, the total of in il,ocbeing 81, of outdoor i3lB, mi l d transient !;;(1. lint it the enormons increase in the ex -01•.e, for Isas astonishes the public, what .111:•4 they think of that for 1866, when it had gone lip tee $1,8052, and ofithat for 1867, tthirh eNe ary informed is about $25,500 . ?

A Grand Victory over De 14°erary and Republican Traitors ! Dlsorgim jut. Squelched ! Mark the Traitors Hereaf ter!" The occasion of this exhuberant de ulonstration is found in the fact that after all the efforts of the Anti-Lowry wing of Rudd '-aliara in CraWtord, the Lowryites and Pet tisites have become masters of the situation, and promise to retain control of the party in finure The intense hatred existing between 11 e fanthins of Itadralism in our neighboring younty receives its best illustration iu such c zliNtion s rui that of the Journal. A 3Liatmorn EsTanLISSIMENT.—Host of our. city readers are aware that for some months the firm of Hall it Warfel, druggists, ou State Street, have been making extensive additions to their establishment, in order to accommodate their large and rapidly itiereas ing business. - These improvements are now completed, and the firm can boast one of the largest and most convenient stores in Amer ica. The establishment is in the shape of an L, having the from! entrance upon State street and the rear one on Seventh street. The State street portion of the building is four stories in height, with a neatly arranged basement, and the first floor is used expressly for the retail department. The Seventh street building, occupied for wholes aleing, is three stories high, and is admirably fitted up for its purpose. The ofilee, situated at the angle of the two departments, is lighted from the roof, commands n view of the entire first floor, and is one of the most ingeniously planned we have ever seen. It would require more room than we are able to . spare, to ad equately describe the whole building, but we have no hesitation in pronouncing it the most convenient for the purpose in the city. Some idea of the immense business being done by Messrs. Hall & Warfel, may be gain ed, when we say that every poi ion of the building, including the cellar, is _taken up with their goods, and even then they have no room to spare. A heavy item of their trade is in glasS, of which they-deal in every variety, and enormous quantities of which are - always kept on hand. This firm has the honor of being the first west of New York to import the celebrated French glass, direct from the Manufacturers. The French article is greatly superior to the American, and be ing furnished at nearlk the same price, will, without doubt, soon take the precedence throughout our section. In every branch of their trade they are equally up th the spirit of the age, and we take pleasure in recom mending them- to all wIM wish anything in their line, whether in small or large quanti- . ties. , THE well kiiwn boat "Radical" is prepar ing for an excursion up Salt River in a few days, having already secured a large diSt of passengers, most of whom, expmting to stay permanently, liave laid in a supply of goodS,for future use. Some difficulty was at first met with in securing a crew, owing to the rickety and unsafe condition of the ves sel, but we are happy to announce that one was at length obtained, on condition that a sufficient number_ of life-boats should be provided to render escape certain in case a storm might occur. This difficulty had scarcely been obviated, when a dispute arose among"the proprietors us to who should be captain, the majority favoring a celebrated navigator named Lowry, while a few' ob strePorous individuals insisted that another named Colon should take charge of the vessel. Th matter was finally settled by knocking the troublesome parties on the head, since when they have conducted themselves as decorously as the most devoted loyalist could ask. Owing to the difficulty in get ting a crew the best material could not be picked, and we understand that they present as timer a collection of "weak-kneed, bow backed and sunken-eyed" individuals" as could be gathered in a month's travel. They are all inured,.ho'wever, to a perilous life, and having met with all sorts of disasters in the course of their career, are supposed to be abundantly capable of taking the peat to its destination in safety. The "Radical" will start from the Anthracite Coal & Iron CO.'s dock, some day next week, anti all who have not engaged paSsage are invited to call im mediately, as the chances are limited: The following is a partial list of the officers and crew: Captain, Lowry; Mates, Sill and Douglass; Steward, Kellogg; Cook, Whal lon ; Pilot, Rogers ; Steersmen, Lyon and Gaggin ; Crew. Walker, Davenport, Skinner, Beason and fifty others. TILE COURT llorsv.—We think it quite Mae that the active men of both' parties sh6uld combine to take some steps for secur ing a more liberal use of the court house building, than at present. For some reason, that Commissioners at an early day, decided not to permit the use of the building for any other than Court and office purposes, and it , is only within the last two or three years that it has been thrown open- to the general use of the public. Even then it Lass been granted reluctantly in several instances, and the par ties who obtained it have been called upon by the Janitor for considerable sums as a re ward for his service,. Whether this course was adopted with the knowledge or by the dire Lion of the Commissioners, we have no means of knowing, but the fact is -none the less true, and Lug occasioned much unplea sant comment, We but state the general opinion of the public, when we say that the Cohrt House building is one that should be common to both parties, and as such, should be Thrown open to either side with equal lib erality. This is especially the case with County Conventions, and pdlitical assembla ge; of all kinds: In every other county in the State, the Court House is used for such gatherings, and the people' freely concede it without charge, believing that a public build ing might-always to be open for the public demands. We would suggest' to the Com missioners that they adopt n rule at their next meeting, giving the use of the hall of the Court House, to all gatherings of a pub lie nature without charge of any kind. If the extra use to-which it will be put by that course entails sufficient additional labor upon the Janitor to entitle him to an increase of salary, let it be. voted him—the people will pay it without complaint. , A. c(iIMEWO.NDENT complains of the corn- - mon use of the word Dutch as applied u Ger Mans, and says many of his friends look upon it asan insult of the Worst kind. — He adds, "I think, however, a defective knowl edge of geography, especially among the lower classes, has given cause to the belief that Germany and Holland are one country, and the Germans and the Dutch one nation, while in reality there is as much difference in language and customs, as between the Germans and the English. How is it ?" The word "Dutchman" is applied by the ignorant in the United States not 'only to Germans and Hollanders, but even to all Europeans not of Latin race. We have heard Kos.suth' spoken of as a Dutchman. ' The bet ter informed among the Americans are aware of the 'difference between Dutchmen and Germans, but owing to common usage, or in jest, may speak of them indifferently as Dutch." The term is totally out of place as applied to the people of German descent in our conimunlty, and sliadd be discontinued by those who know better. It is used more titOightlessly , than otherwise, but rite fact that - it Is dististeftillo 'those to whom it is , applied; ought to render all more care ful in their use of it. A FEW days ago the printers in, the N. Y. World offiee 'Went' bbetiuse the proprietors chose to lend a few columns of matter to an office which employs workmen who do not belong to ffie,Union. . The pro prietors of the World at once advertised for workmen,and in a'sb - ort time securedall they needed, and had applications for scores- of others. None , but men who drr not belong to the Union were accepted, and the World announce; that it will take no Union printer in its employ hereafter. In this case, as in so many others,, the members of the j; over reached themselves. We presume there are few employers who are unwilling.that their workmen shall join any , association for mu- , tual benefit' Ihat they may desire, but when the societies undertake to say who shall be employed, what shall be done, and otherwise, dictate the internal regulations of an estab lishment, it is high time they should be taught that there is a point where forbearance ceases to be a virtue.

Tin rental of market stalls in Harrisburg pays tine city $ , 40,000 a year, and provides for nearly half the expenses of the govern ment. • Why could riot - we, by building suitable market house, make it equally pro fitable ? We know of one little town in the State where a market building was ereiled by private capital, and yields 21{ per cent. interest on tine investment every year. WE look forward impatiently to. an un usually lively discussion when Mr.. Lowry gets his arrangements under headway. The Anti-Lowry press seem determined to keep up a vigorous fight against him, and it will be totally contrary to the received opinion of his disposition if he does not retaliate in the most approlied good and thunder style. ANNA Drckrssos is lecturing in Connecti cut to crowdet . houses. Her subject,' and a very appropriate one it ht, too, because she can always furnish a specimen of both, in herself, or audience, iS , Minix and Irma, n. How much she must know about both, and how instructive to the people of the nation! The posters were very perplexing , before the people understood then: "TICKETS von IDIOTS AND WOMEN, SOLD 11E11E." THE Dispatch' asserts that "there is not another city iu- the State .of the size of Erie, that has made such big t,trides, toward , eh:it ization, in the past few months, Unavoida ble disorder reigns at present, hut everything is working well, and with less coati:49ll.th= might reasonably be expected." We believe that what our cotemporary says is the entire truth. In the course of our frequent visits abroad, me KT no community that equal 4 Erie in prosperity, proportionate to_it+ pop ulation, and it is the general remark of stran gers that few cities in the ciiintry are pro gressing with ;the same rapidity as oars. The people of Erie have every reason to be proud of their :city. and of its reputation abroad. Tin: falling off in the vote . in Cr.twfod r county was as follows ; Radical 1,391, Dein ocratic 951. In 1806 the vote stood, 6,714 Radical to 4,969 Democratic ; this year it is 5,490 Radical and 4,018 Democratic.- It will be perceived that the proportioni is nearly eitual, and that the claim of the - Radicals that their defeat is owing to a failure of their voters to turn out, does not apply to • Craw ford county at least. In Warren county, as in our own, the Democratic vote was out better than in Crawford. The returns of 1866 show 2,687 Radical and 1,572 Democratic those of this year stand: Radical 2131, Dem ocratic 1,459. THE Meadville Journal, central organ of the:Lowry faction in Crawford county, conies -down upon the Anti-Lowryites in its last is sue." Melt thousand of brick." styles them "disorganizers," 'lmshwhackers," "trai tors?' "sore-heads," and like complimentary titles,--Accuses them of being influenced by "malignity,"—and alleges that by "dissimula tion. misrepresentation, bogus tickets by the thousand, and all the appliances of political knavery," they succeeded in doing Some ter : tilde' things against the interests of the party. The Meadville RepUblican, Anti-Lowry or gan of-the county, retoits in a similar vein, and between the jarring of the two factions, it looks as if we are to have a spirited condi tion of affair; for some time to come. THE Erie Observer chronicles as one of the results of the lute election the fact. that the Members of the winning party are .al ready being designated as Democrats in stead of butternuts and- copperheads. • We cannot see the reason for the change, ns the gaining of a single electi6n does not make the Democrats any the less sympathizers with tr eason anti traitors.—MeitetrfUe Republic w. Whether it does or• not, we observe that• the Republican has received a lesson in de cency, as well as its compeers. Before the election, its columns flamed with denunera-' tions of the wicked "Copperheads:" now, in speaking of members of our party, we- per ceive, that it nearly invariably refers to them its Democrats. Like the bully 'that we read about, our Radical cotemporary only needed a little set hack, to cause a decided altera tion in its• tone. • Winn all the talk of the Radicals .ahout I their vote not being' out, • the uiticisl record shows-that a Mitch larger ballot was cast this. year than in: - 1805. .-_: .

The mistake inade by = our Radical friendsi:tlrl comparing tiie re: turns with those of The exciting Gubernato rial campaign of 1860, when circumstan ces enabled them to do better than evbr be sore, or than they will ever &again, THE late Democratic victorieshave had the happiest effect u pen our party friends through out the county. Many of them had become so disheartened that lt was growing difficult to get them to the polls, much less •toslo the necessary work of the =maniple. Our sicr cess lies been ,ai1164 Life ", in reviving. their drooping energies, and if the entliusi asm keeptkup, as 'we feel aisured' . it shall give the opposition next year the- hard.: est tussle they haveever had in ,Erie.cfmnly. The cheerful faces of the hundreds .60Dem 7 ocrats who visit our office daily gives:us the strongest hope fur the future. The Demo cratic maces are resolved to win in the Pres idential tight, and if our leaders are up to the spirit of the people, we teal win, "By the Eternal." WE have no sloubt, from what we have been informed, that fully three hundful toi eig,ners reside in this city who are entitled to their naturalization Papers; before the next idecUon. It must lie admitted by all, that it is wrong that persons shOuld conic from Other lands, avail themselves of the benefits of our laws, anti make their motley amongst us, without assuming the responsibilities of citizenship. We have been informed of a number of persons in our city who have re sided here many years and accumulated eon siderable'propertv,end yet have never taken out papers of naturalization. This is entire ly wrong, and were we a Member of Con gress, we should labor to secure the passage of an act, making it the duty of all foreigners after residing in the United States a certain number of years, to, become citizens, or de priving them of the protection of our govern ment. The friends of these parties should urge them to secure their papers without de lay. An important Presidential election takes place next year, which concerns every person residing in the country, and it ought to be the pride of every male foreigner to lend his aid in restoring.' the nation to a con dition of unity and prosperity. We hope -that all person 4 entitled to their paywnt will at once take the necessary- measnres for ob taining them. On: attention has been called to the manner - - itt which - the Asses..Sments for the city • have been conducted for the past six or seven years. The law on the subject requires that when the As sessors have completed their lists, at a certain period before election they shall cause copies to be placed in conspicuous localities, so that the public may ascertain whose names arc down, and whoSe are not. We have made diligent inquiry in regard to the matter, and are unable to find that this provision has been complied with in a number of ream If the lists are pbsted up at . all, it must be in plaee4 where few have :in _opportunity to ,see them, air we have yet to meet an individual who can tell anything Idiotic them. The lea tore of the law requiring all assessments to be made ten days before election- is also one -that deserves some eonsideiation. It may be that they are unfounded, but strange wilds wrings have gone about, relative to the cOn duet of the officers in this respect, that re quire investigation. The Democrats of the city owe it to their cause that they should exert a more watchful care over these matters in future, and unless we are greatly mistaken they wilLuot nit to do SO. AR WE stated in our last Issiee, the reduced Radical majtity in this county is fir from being whollyi due to the, absence of their vo ters from the polls, notwithstanding the party press are laboring with zeal to convince their readers that their tnisfortnnes are due entire ly to that cause. We have been informed of at least filly persons iu this city who voted for our ticket, who have heretofore acted with the Opposition, and reports from -many dis tricts in the county convince us that the rev olution in popular sentiment has been gene ral. In several. instances„ gentlemen who have been proininent in the Radical ranks, openly voted for Judge Sharswood, and de claritl their intention to act with the DP/111.1- cratie party in future. We could give the names of two or three that are familiar to the majority of the people ] in Me county, and the mention of whom would as tonish our Radical friends. If the Demo crats are One-half as zealous from this time onward, as the sacredness of our, principles merits, we can , safely promise. an increased vote of five hundred at least for tolr'Uoinince for the Presidency in MO. , - Tin:Agues which we give elsewhere in regard to the Poor expenses of the. county, lead to the reflection, whether it might not be welt to Inquire into some other fdatureF: of our local expenditures. The 100 a manner in which the public 111IN:C liCen disbursed, both city and con'itty, k a matter of general notoriety, and ,\%e have long been satisfied that-a rigid investigation would develop fails of a surprising nature. It will lie six ntontlet before another political eattipaign will be up on us, anti we suggest that the time could not be better vent by bur people than in seeking ti - 7, - ;•enre jhN inni~li'needed rerortit. in our county and municipl sytem of finances. How many of our intellig!nt citizens' are ready,`,to join together for lan investigation into the way in which the 'public money' is Tent?
