The proposition led to an extended debate, in which Messrs. Lowry, Browne, of Lawrence, and Taylor support ed the resolution, and Mesara. White, of.

A motion to postpone its consideration was de fttated by 18 ayes to 15 nays.

The Republican is mortally offended be cause we chose to call things by their right names in our reply to its attacks upon the "loyalty" of the Democratic party, and falls leek upon its dignity in a manner that is rather amusing to witness. Our cotemporaq strongly reminds ns of the old story of the Englishmen and Frenchman at till. ball. The firmer had taken even• occasion to insult the latter by hustling agitinst him, mimicing his movements, treading on his toes, and inter fering with his movements generally. John ny Crapeau stood it ai r s long as he could, when suddenly, at some grievance more of fensive than the rest ; lie gave a spring for ward, and planting his fists between the Englishman's eyes, laid him flat on the floor. Ag soon as the latter had recovered, he rose up slowly,- and looking at the Frenchman with an air of injured innocence, exclaimed, " Sir, you are no gentleman—l ant above as sociating with such as You," and left the hall. The chronicler has not recorded the opinions 'of the bystanders, but they must have been, of a different nature from most people if they did not pat our hero on the shoulder and as sure him that he had served the Englishman just us he deserved. The eburse of the Republican is a good 11, 'nitration of the spirit hermexemplified. Its .columns each day teem with the most insult ing, mean-and false,allusions to Democrats, iterated and reiterated in a way that shows them to be concocted and published with no othePobject than to promote its party ends. The character of leading Democrats has been assailed with a degree of un•crttpulousness that has had few parallels, and when its thise hoods have he en exposed, as in the ease of Gov Seymour, it has not even had the man liness to retract its slanders; or to apologize for their publication. Taking its tone front the Tribune and Forney': Press, the Repub. Ryan seems to be actuated by a desire to rival those two Satanic sheets in its political char acter, and, if such a thing is possible, to cx-. reed them in injustice and virulence.' The fret is, thCt'the class of men whom the Re publican represents have so long been accus tomed to styling Democrats " dbdoyalists," " traitors," " copPerhends,":and such delight ful name, that they seem to think there is nothing: offensive to us in the appellation, surd that they violate no bounds of courtesy in using. them. Thc time has arrived for teaching them other:vice, and we. for one, in t nd to be uo tvsus mealy-mouthed CM the ,übject When the Republican reaches the •taneiard of :t 'really high-toned paper, we promise it that it shall have no occasion to complain of the Observer's relations towards it: but while it continues to he the vehicle of everything foul and malignant in its par ty's necessities, it must expect, and we intend that it shall not be disappointed, to be retort ed upon with a directness appropriate to the provocation.' TITE discussion of the Poor expenses of the county, to whiclrattention was first called in the Observer, we are pleased to observe, - is beginning to attract some of the public at tention it merits. In 1867 the total outlay for that purpose was V 0,70-1, which, we be lieve, is about three times as mnehasinlB6o. Of this large sum 4.10 0 7.30 were expended for the support of 'out-door poor, and the $10,148 were for the legitimate _expenses of the county alms house. Itispow designed to increase the poor tax to $30,000 thr 1888,_ and in addition the stun of $50,000 is to be raised for a new Wins %bilge, with the proba bility that it - will require us much more to complete it. Of the neces.sity of the latter measure there are conflicting, opinions, and we do not choose to enter into the controver sy until we learn further particulars, but the nerd of the extra $lO,OOO over 1867 is at least questionable. The reflection that will occur to every tax-paver " Why is it that while the population of our county has not-in creased over 60 per cent at the uunost, since 1860, the poor expenses are lbur or five times greater?" A. correspondent seeks to explain this apparent discrepancy, through the ,Dis patch, with, it seems to us, very poor success. The fact is apparent', either that the county is imposed upon by persons who are not en titled to her relief, or that her poor funds are managed without due economy,and whatever 'the wait: may be, the public owe it to their interests to demand a thorough and permit ' nent reform. A STILLSOEI DREAIi AND IV! _PLIAILL VENT.—Aniong the victims of the horrible Angola disaster was Mr. J. P. Wyward, of State Line, d young man of enterprise and decided promise, in the employ of the rail road company as their agent at that place. The Painesville Advertiser gives an account, the correctness of which it vouches for, of a Peculiar dream which Mr. 11. had just six months previous to the calamity in which he lost his life. It says: "He dreamed that he was away from home, in A desert, when sud denly he heard a terrific crash, and upon looking in the direetfon from which the sound proceeded he saw n bright light, which seemed to reach to the very heaVens, and he - heard screams and yells of-the most fright. ful and heart-rending charaCter. On looking about him he skkw an august personage—a monk, he thmight—sitting in high estate, and he inquired where all that noise came from. "From befit" answered the Monk. , The dreamer asked, "What does it mean The Monk replied, "It means that you muqt instantly die r Mr. H. then told tho Monk that he was not yet prepared to die, and begged for further time. The Monk finally' said, 'Your prayer is granted ; you may live upon the earth six months longer: at the ex piration of that time yoq duel die !" At this juncture Mr. Hayward was awakened by his wife, who was alarmed at her husband's ac tions. he sitting up in lied and being greatly agitated. 7 The dream made a great impres siou upon\ his mind, and was the subject of much thought and frequent conversations with his friends for - a tine, hut at length he came to look O ursin it at of no consequence. On precise i lv the last day of the six months he purehtl‘ed a life as.,//tanee ticket for 4:1,460, 104; pa:iage our the ill-fitted train for Buffalo, and Asas tmilibei - ed among the vie tia3, At Angola! Tut: Gazette's statement that Democratic business and professional men refuse to ad verti,,e in its columns, /;ee.tthy it Thati retpetpet, we do not believe to be I.llindPli Oil the facts. We have as extensive an ae quaintanee among Ilmt class of our as the editor of the Gazette, and know that a, a general thing they advertise where they think it will he of most advantage to them, regardless of flip polith.4 a the paper cot ploved The edlumns of the Dispatch and Republican, both Radical as the Gazette, hear witness that in proportion to their num bers, Democrathi busineis men are as• liberal in their patronage of those papers as any other class. If they prefer the dailies to our cotempoiary, 'it -is owing to other reasons than politics, for „among Democrats one of these journals is considered as Radical as another. We consider him a poor business man, be his party affiliations what they may, who lets his passions run ahead of his judgment to such nn extent as to give his advertising to n meagerly circulated paper in preference to one of wider distribution and inflnefice, simply because the latter disagrees with him in politics. Tni•; ladies who have undertaken the pro ject of securing ffinds-for the erection of a soldiers' monument, we understand, are meeting with a hearty encouragement in their laudable effintb?. Nearly all who have been spoken to favor the movement, and furnish assurances of their co-operation. It Ls in tended to give several entertainments in a -few weeks for the benefit of the nun!, and they are to be continued tct \, intervals until the needed amount is secured. The projec tors do not- anticipate thelull accomplLsh ment4 their purpose inside of three or four years,- but we have too much faith in the patriotism and generosity of our people to believe that they will permit it to drag along for that lengthy period. The memory ofour. "herbie dead is the common property; of the county, and the erection of a Monument should not be left wholly to the city. We have no doubt that the different towns and townships will all do their share, if an op portunity is given them, and it strikes us tbat the best plan would be .to Organize bran . Ch societies in every portion of the county. Enn: & Prrratutto R. R.=—The annual re port of this road, exhibit; a iirosp' erous con dition that must gratify every one who has the interests of our city and its -enterprises at heatt Dining the year 160,000 passengers were carrieti`over the road, a very considera ble increase over the previous season. The tonnage for the year was 385,837 tons, of which there were 209,509 tons of foal; 39,- 001 of merchandise ; 83,226 of iron ore ; 29,- 607 of Noma and pig iron r'14,883 of lumber and timber; and 2rfild of rolled iron ,and Tho number of vessels loaded 'at the docks of the,railroads was 417, carrying 173,- 621 tons, and 61 cargoes of iron 'ore were re ceived, aggregating over 39,000 tons. Under the present vigorous management, the road is rapidly' enlarging its business, and scents likely to attain a degree of prosperity equal to the most eonfitlent anticipations of its friends. AN important hill has been introduced at ilarristmrg providing for some changes in our city government that seem libel• to be come topics of considerable public interest. A wide difference of opinion has sprung up in relation to the improvements that have been carried on so largely under the munici pal, supervision, and many property holders are of the belief that too much has been un dertaken at one time. The bill is designed to limit the authority of Councils, and pro vide greater restrictions in the expenditure of the city funds. Petitions arc circulating for and against the tneOure, and it seems proba ble that our next city election will be one of the most exciting in many years: The large property - owners ore mostly arrayed against the present city- management, while fix; me chanics nod laborers sustain it. IMPORTANT REPOiT.—Onr readers . will remember that at the last session of the Leg islature a - resolution was adopted calling up on Attorney General Brewster to ascertain whether the Atlantic h: Great Western IL A. Co. had not forfeited its charter, by failing to, build a connection with the harbor of Erie; as required by its act of incorporation. - The Attorney General's answer was sent into the Senate on -Wednesday, and takes the ground that the company has plainly violated its compact, and is no qlnger a legal corporation of this Commonwea th, unless it proceeds at once to fulfil the conditions under which it ' was created. It is stated that Senator Low ry is very active in, endeaVoring to secure the building of Abe proposed branch line, and declares his intention to urge such legislation as will force the road to comply with the pro visions of its charter.

The house of John Benninghoff, on Ben nunghoff Run, near Petroleum-Centre, was entered by four men in disguise, about 7:30 p. m., on Thursday eveniniof last week, and robbed of p 10,090 in tr; 6. bonds andgreen backs. The building is a small frame resi dence, about three-fourths of a mile front Oil Creek, on a road not much frequented of late, and the nearest neighbor Is 'a quarter of a mile distant The Titusville Herald says : "Mr. Benninghoff Pennsylvania German, a plain, hard-Working farmer, aqd about 67 years of age.. He has a family of grown up children, many of them keying at borne. The old gentlesnn all of a sudden had rich es thrust upon him .by the :aeon* of oil on his sterileanies; , and la 'one of our petro leum millionaires. - We believe the first well was struck on bin - faith on Pioneer Ann, in the fall of 1864; ibeltrixinetion of his whoh: farm for last month teas siz e butidred barrels a day, and ten new no going down on it. Mr. B.'s income for. December last, was reported at *40,000, but his sudden and daziling fortune never made a fool of him, and they 'say he cares nothing for ap pearances, aturwants to live as frugally and work as diligently as when he used to cat his bread in the sweat of his brow. !But he had taken the notion 'Molls head AO be his own banker, and to deposit his bends and greenbacks in his own safe and houSe. And now he has paid the penalty of very foolish and ,11 ori-sigh red ,temerhy, and he miay thank Heaven that he was not beaten or killed by the villains \Om rubbed him. - The whole community have known that - Mr. Benning hod' kept his money—and 'a great deal of . it —at home, and will not be'Surprisecl to learn of the perpetration of this :tillainy, much as they may pity his milfurtune. The :nanner in which the robbery was conducted, as well as the preparation:: that Mere tita , le to in sure success. slcow it was the result lof fully matured plan., and that the perpetrators were well aertpihinted with the habits of the Tinnily. At no other time, probably] than at the hour the robbery was Committed, would such a favorable opportunity be presented. Mr. Joseph Benninghoff whs at church, and, although quite dark it 161.5 too earlti for the fluidly to make the usual pieparations,such as securing the dogs, windoivs, &c., for passing the'night. Thereirere five men,Who it has been ascertained, participated in the 'robbery , one of whom remained outside. The par •ticulars of the case are' substantially as fol lows: . "Shortly after 7 o'clock, the family, con sisting of Mr. John Benninghoff, his wife, and niece, and two hired men, were sitting in the kitchen, when the door wits opened and four men walked in. Three of these men were of medium sizes and the thuith waii tall and heavy, and all of them viere masked with handkerchiefs, cloths or comforters.! On en tering the room the men drew piiitols and presenting them at the heads or breasts of the family, threatened them with immediate death if they should make the least noise. So completely were the family taken by sur prise that hut little resistance was offered ex; cent by Mr. Benninghoff, who cried out lus tily on their first appearance. The' first cry he made had searcelylett ;his lips when he was attacked by one ofthe rufflans4who was soon assisted by one or two of the others. Mr. Benninghoff is now in his sixty-seventh year, but notwithstanding his' advanced age, lie is still possessed of considerable, i strength, and he exerted it to the uttnost. IBS strength was, however, entirely inadequate to cope with that of two or three .middle aged men, and he was soon thrown to the floor. The ruffians then struck him in the face and stamped on various parts of his body, and then half dragged, half carried him-to an ad joining bed room. All this time Mr. B. was by no means idle, but wall puttingiforth his hest efforts to escape, and to attract' attention from the outside. After they had g'ot Mr. B. ' somewhat under their control, they tied his arms and legs and threw him on the bed and, wrapped the bedelotheit tightly about him.' They then rifled his pockets and thok from one of them his pocket-book, containing a small amount &money and a key to one of the safes. After seeing that the cords which bound his limbs were fast and covering .him more closely with the clothes, they left him I in a powerless condition.T - "While -Mr. Benninghbff tvaa struggling with the two ruffians, the, other two had in timidated the two hired men, and they were soon tied in the chairs in-which they sat, at the time when the robbers first made their appearance. These men offered very little or no resistance, and in a very brief space of time they found themselves in a helpless condition. During the fraca.s, 3lrs.,l3enning hoff managed to secure a revolver, which she handed to 'one of the hired men, but lie, through fear or some other emotion of like character, did not use it, and immediately afterwards one of the roughs got possession of it.. Mrs. B. was seizeti,-draggeil into an ad joining room, and bound.? Mr. Benninghoff's niece was taken into a Mom near the kitchen and fastened to a lounge; "After every person in the house was se curely fastened and an' attempt had been made to open a conihinationdock safe, two of the party started upstairs to. the mom in which an old fashioned safe was kept, with out - asking any questions: While the other two stayed below and kept guard over the family. The key of the 'safe on the second floor had ben taken from Mr. Benninglioff's pocket-book, and the villains succeeded in opening the safe without difficulty. One drawer in the safe was overlooked, but all the rest of it was. thoroughly ransacked. The safe contained nearly $225,000, and the villains succeeded in taking $210,000. Of the $210,000 there were $20,000 in Govern ment bonds and the rest in greenbacks and national currency. The drawer that was • overlooked contained a quantity of gold and silver coin, amounting Mall to a compara tively small sum. In the haste afterplunder, a package containing $l,OOO was laid among • a quantity of paper near the safe and left, and in another part of the house a second package containing nearly $6,000,_ was dropped. • "After ransacking the safe, the whole party retired to the kitchen, and after ascertaining ' from a member of the family that Mr. Joseph Benninghoff had gone :to church, and that no other person would be likely to visit the house during the night, the villains proceed ed to make themselves comfortable. During their stay, which lasted , about an hour, they appeared to be awaiting the return of Mr. Joseph 8., and they consumed a quantity of bread and milk. "Finally, the robbers concluded to leave, and making a slip-noose, they put it around the neck of one of the hired men and led hint to the barn and forced him to harness a horse and hitch it to .a cutter. The man was then led back to the hduse and re-tied. Two other horses were Laken trout the barn, and the whole party started off at a brisk pace. As soon as the last man left the house, Mr. Benninghoff's niece managed • to loosen the•cords with which her arms were bound. The rest of the family were then released, and the men started - out and alarmed the neighbors, after which I telegrams were sent in alt directions to the authorities of the dif ferent places. !apprising them of the robbery. "After leaving the house, -the .five men with the horses arid' cutter• proceeded up Benninghoff Run about one half of a mile, when the cutter was smashed and the horses turned loose, where they were found the next morning. From where the cutter and horses were abandoned, no farther traces of the Party ; could be found. '"fhe sate that was nht opened,contained a much larger amount titan that carried off. , "The next Morning a reward of $lO,OOO was offered for the arrest of the robbers and return of the money, and later in the day it was increased to V 10,000.": - A smtrors accident occurred on the Alle gheny Valley Railroad on Tuesday of last week, ten miles west of Franklin, Venango county, Caused by the 'collision of two gravel trains, to one of which was 'attached a ca boose car carrying Over twenty laborers working on the road.' The trains had no. regular time for running; and the conductors not being informed of ;each other's time,:met while moving at a rate of fifteen miles an hour. The engines weir badly damaged, and the caboose car literally demaiished. ThrCe of the men injured by the collision have died. awl two others are. reported past_ recovery.

Supposing this to he true, it is a convincing, proof or the care and skill with which the road is managed: , B. F. TATLOII, Esq., of Chicago, the far famed " printer-poet," will deliver the next lecture in the' Y. M. C. A.'s course, on the P.9th inst. Mr. Taylor is, perhaps, the most popular lecturer rho has visited our city, and grows in favor every time that he appears. His lectures are always purely literary, and clothed with a charm of style and freshness of matter that few men are able to rival. A Yin in Titusville have long been aw are of petty larcenies from the till of their store. Investigation failed to discbver the thief un til.a few days ago, when a mouse nest was found containing twenty dollarsof the•stolen money. An effort to close the place ofentry only made Mr.Stouse more desperate,and soon eleven dollars more were missing. The firm have about concluded to allow the tricky little fellow to do their banking in future. THE Republican charges that. the Demo cratic party " displays a banner on which are inscribed such mottoes as " Repudiation"— " Down with the Nigger! the Whites must rule the South "—and that other one, show ing but dimly as yet, " Payment of the Rebel Debt!" The editor of the Republican has evidently started nut On :i raise against the "Father of Lies," and bids fur to outstrip him. A WIIITE servant girl at one of our hotels is reported to have fallen violently in love with one of the nem:fit-alter% the flames burning so strongly that she was bent upon marrying him. The fact was announced, to her mothi.r, who emphatically refused to give her sanction to the project, cimnecting with it some of those angelic expletives that only an indignant female can give utterance- to. The girl's spirit was aroused, and, packing up her goods, she left at the earliest opportunity for Buffalb. where, it is said, that she has en tered upon a career of reckless shame. WE lately heard a tonguey African venti: late his race in language substantially like the following: "You may take a nigger and scrub him as you may: and scour him all ynn please, and white wash him all yon like• and he's a nigger still r—/?epubtican. And,yet, for all this, the Republican and its party pretend to bellece that the negro is only a black irkite num.. The "tongney Af rican".understands bis race better than the editor of our cotemporary. Sow. desperate young genius, in the first -throes of poetic passion, has indicted the fol l Owing mellifluous strain, which he givea the novel title of a - vegetable kern." The way in which he mixes np the garden `• " is a caution to nil in like condition : "Onion garden hod reclining, Beets a youth his aching head: 'Cauliflowers, lo! weeds confront me: Lettuce hence,' he sadly said. Carrots out the stoutest manhood, Peas my wearied soul (loth need : ' Bean 0 ! strife for Mr hereafter, Else my heart will go to send." WE learn front food authority . . that the long talked of project of building a broad gunge road from,a point nn the Erie to this city is again revived, and that it will cer tainly be undertakeh if theLegislaturepasses a free railroad layr. *Partic?t, it is stated, stand ready to furnish Ihe inoney, and the Erie Company am eager to eitend their line to our harbor. In thatevent, the latter com pany would transfer its main terminus fo this point, and establish a regular line ttf propellers. The movement is one of great interest to our citizens, and shiiuld be zeal ously *encouraged by. those of intlitence and capital. FEW of our readers, we presume, arc aware, that there is a continuous railroad betWeeti Buffalo and Pittsburgh, via the Cross-Cut, Oil Creek and Allegheny lino. Those two cities are now supplying a large tract of country whose natural. trading point is at Eric, and which -would always have been here, if our citizens had taken the necessary steps to secure it. While we were quarrel ling with one another, and hemming, and hawing about whether it was best to do so and 'so, and fearing lest- some nue might make -more than the rest, other cities have extended their railroads into' the heart of the oil re gions, and seized the prize from beneath our grasp. A. LAM named Mrs. Donald, some weeks since eKtrneted - needle from'her right side, over the hip. On 'Friday last another was taken from near the same portion of her body. They were probably swallowed at an early period in her lab, but she has no recollection of the time. One of our well known Ger man citizens informs-us that when a bow he had the misfortune to drink a needle with some wine. It never gave him any trouble until November, 1866, when he began feeling intense pain in the large toe of bis right foot, which continued until the middle of Decem ber,,when the point of the needle Made its appearance right under the nail. The servi ces of a surgeon were called in, who drew the needle out, just thirty years from the time it was taken into our friend's stomach.
