SuLUtEite AND SAILOILM . MONEMENT.—The
ladies who have taken in hand.the enterprise
of erecting a monument to the memory of
our departed li t eroes, have made arrangements
for three enteriainn"ts in Farrar Hall,. on
Monday=, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
of next week. They w ili consist .of Come

sic. and we anticipate a series of the 'most
agreeable amateur performances ever given
in the city. The Liedertafel Society will as
sist on two of the evenings, and 3lehl's Band
will be in attendance during all the enter
tainments. The Hall is toile beautifully dee.-
orated by the seamen of the Michigan and
Commodore Ferry, and.nothing will be len
undone to render
_the occasion attractive.

44 High Tone.'•
-The Republican cites a few expressions
Ifront the Observer which it dOes not approve,
and , relerring to them, adds, "If that is the
l',High Tone to which we are expected to as
ripire, and the reward of reaching a hick is to
be the approval of the Observer, we despair
• of accomplishing the ascent or, obtaining the
• rew,ird.: In Met, we shall not make the at
' tempi" We think if our cotemporary has
not already made "the attempt," it has come
near enough to it to prove that it need not
"despair of accompli,hing the ascent," when
it thirly tries. The Mowing passages front
its i , .ne of the 2211 may convince the public
Mat it t, an easy matter for some persons to
"Arain at a gnat and :..wallow a camel :"

In view of the above, does not the eon

IGovernment Vessels in Erie Harbor.
On Wednesday last weTaid a visit to the
overnment vessels in winter quarters in-ottr
harbor, and were astonished at the complete
ness of their appointments for the naval and
revenue service for which they are designed.
Through the courtesy of
. Acting Master W.
G. Morris, we were per to make a
careful inspection of the Steamer 3liebizaa
and note the prominent points of interest
that were presented- And first and fore
most the general neatness and order every
where manitiNt good evidence of the correct
discipline enjoined by the lafficers, and the
cheerful, olwilienee and good belrivior of the
men.
•tier armament consists at present of six
brass 51 pounders, in broadside, and two boat
howitzers, with a full supply of boarding
pikes and small arms of various descriptions.
The engine room, however, shows us in a
small compass the greatest wonders . ; and. in
exploring the interior arrangement of this
great leviathan, this department may he
compared.to the vital organsenclosed in the
cavities Of an animal body. The boilers,
two in number, each nine feet wide,mine
feet high, and fifteen feet nine inches long,
form the right and left heart; the enormous
steam pipe seventeen and one-fourth inches
in diameter in the bore, extending to the T
branch, which divides it and supplies the two
engines, correspond to the general artery and
Its branches ; and thu iron floor and casing,
to the "heart/case." The two engines, with
a stroke of eight feet, and thirty-six inch
piston, to the power generating and distribu
ting right and 101 hemispheres or the' brain,
acid-tire piston 'and other rods to the nerves
whielmlistribute that power 6) • the motive
niuseles or wheels ; while the air pumps to
opprate the condenser, act as the lungs.
The cylinders and air pumps are placed on
an inclined 'plane aran angle of forty-five de
ir( es.; This places all the machinery except
the .haft belit'w the water lint•, and in 'time

The Steamer is also supplied with Per9i:3's

Our Neighboring Congressional District:
_ A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Post
calls attention to the manner in which -the
Radical leaders have humbugged the masses
of their party in the Crawford, Venango,
Clarion. and Mercer district. That district,
by the intrigues of the politicians, has virtu--I
ally been without 41 representative in Con
.gress for the last five years. "Looking back,
over the specimens that have been sent, we
call to inemory one Anios Myers, of Clarion,
• who was elected in 180. This• Representa
tive, by the of Providence; was 'hard of
bearing; and by the' same was not
furnished with a' surpl6s of brains; but with
all these defects, Amos- was generally in his
seat while Congress was in session, though of
little Consequence to his constituents. In
18d-t Amos was again presented by the Rad
icals of Clarion county, hut the conferees of
that convention resolved to try something
new. Amos had no show fur nomination. It
' was 1% ell known by the conferees that none
of the candidates before that convention
were popular; neither could they be elected
if nominated, as the kreater portion of their
own party were opposed to them. These
confert;es, unlike those of 1&66, could not be
bribed—but to keep up appearances, they
balloted seven days' and nights, with Out
I making a nomination. The •elbetion began
to draw near—something must be done.
One of the conferees proposed a new man ;
Ibut still 'no-go,'' He proposed anoth , :r, and
another. until at last wets mentioned the
name of one,.-Charles Vernon Culver, late of
Logan. Ohio.--a banker and broker, and, as
they sUppesed at that time,of great wealth and
I ability. He was ominated by. acclamation.
The. 'nigger worshippen,' all rallied around
I him, except the broken-hearted and disap
pointed candidate from Vcnango; but the
pr - cssure was so strong that he partly 'gave
amyl pretended to keep up appearances
:01 , 1 his party standing. The banker was
eleetisl, and the Radicals did not hesitate to
say that 'he woulil soon climb the hill of
Cline,' and ere long occupy the place of some
of the most prominent men in Washington.
But though it caused a vacant • seat* in Con
gress, and the interests of the people to suf
fer, he was busy starting national and priVatc,
banks, and arranging with many of his Rad•
ical friends for their Government bonds, lay
ing out towns and railroads, getting private
loans from his dear friends,'and a few thou
sand from the churches and colleges as well
as from men wlin•werc called to preach to the
poor. He did not appear to miss any of his
friends who voted the 'nigger' ticket. It has
brought great calamity on the whole commu
nity. In 1866 he wax not a candidate for re
nomination, as his predecessor was, but gave
room fora new man. The conferees met.
Three of the old candidate, were on the track
again. After several days_ balloting thee 'pow
er' that brings all corrupt men, nominated
Darwin A. Finney, of Crawford, now in one
of the old Kingdoms. But they said 'be was
all right'—had the goo in one foot, but no
matter; be and 'Andy' would represent the
' district, and draw the live thousand and mile
age. But poor Finney was drawn so hard
with the gout that he is now in Switzerland,
and the 20th District has no representative.
Will the masses, even of the Badfcal party,
stand this kind of humbuggery :my longer ?
I do not blame the entire party, but those who
control it niust, by this time, feel guilty of a
great-wrong being perpetrated on dot tax
i payers,. "
Tut,: amount Of money stolen from Jolin '
Benninghoff is even larger than at first re
ported. Xn affidavit made by his son fixes
the amount at two hundred and sixty thou
sand dollars, of which about sixty thousand
were in U. S. bends, and the balance in trea
sury notes and greenbacks. - The Titusville
Herald states that "a guard is now stationed
in the house, night and day, notwithstanding
it is asserted that the deposits have been re
moved &in the other safe. Mr. Benninghoff
Senior, is slowly recovering from the effects
of
_the outrageous assault. His face is severe- -
.ly bruised and discolored from the blows re
ceived, and his body still sore from the mer
ciless punches and mauls. He informed Our
friend that a desperate attempt was made ter .
rob him several months ago. Three stran
ger; stopped at the house about dark to ob
tain matches, and afterwards asked for milk
and whiskey. 'Tli‘e latter was refused, and
they relnettintlyent away without obtain
ing adnth-sion to the house. About midnight
the inmates were alarmed lir :in attempt to
force open a window from the outside. The
Berninghoff's were on the alert and dis
eharged a rifle and revolver at the burglars.
Several shots were returned, and then the
marauders retreated. We would state iu this
connection us a Warning to these Oil Creek
burglars ; that the Benninghoff mansion Is
effectually defended, and any future assaults
will provoke a desperate.resistance." The
people of the oil region do not appear to
sympathize very strongly with the Benning
holt flintily in their less: Most of the papers
speak of his misforttote in a sarcastic vein,
and while they condemn the robtiery it is
plain that their feelings are not much wor
ried on tht subject. The Pithole Record
EZZI
"We do nat, of course, justify burglary or
robbery. butlwe haVe nosympailty for Ben
ninghoff. The witless Johriny'gteele, - with
all his reckless, extravagant, foolish and cor
rupt ways did more real good for the com
munity-than many like John Benninghoff. A
miser is infinitely worse than a spendthrift,
for while the latter may injure himself, he
benefits the community by circulating his
cash. Such men are an injury td the human
race, and are little_ if any better than the
burglars who would rob them."
Court Proceedings.
The'regular January term of the Court of
,Common Pleas began on Monday afternoon
last-, Jude Vincent presiding. The case of
most public interest, that of Clark & Met
calf vs. John W. Douglass,Collector of Ititer
nal Revenue, was postponed until the next
term. It will be recollected that when Mr.
Degmier was detected in his alleged pecula
tions, he gave Mr. Douglass a judgment on
his residence in this city, through which the
property 'gen into the latter gentleman's
hands. Degmier was owing the plaintiff's at
the sante time, and the snit is to recover from
Mr. Douglass the amount of their claim, it
being contended that he is not lawfully en
titled to the while value of Degmicr's resi
dence. Since the termination of the crimi
nal suit against Degmier,ll. is -believed by
the plaintiffs that they will 'llj3t have much
difficulty in securing a verditi•intheir favor.
The case is regarded4with much concern by
the friends of both parties, anti there will be
a large attendance whenever it is tried. The
following other suftsdatve been disposed of:

Letter from Union.
UNIO3 MILLS, Jan. 27, 1868
Thai Ton Onsituvr-g—ln your issue of Jan
uary 9th, we noticed an item referring to a
joke played upon I one of our Democratic
friends here, as given by a correspondent of
the Corry RepublictM,writing from this place.
We admit that the ioke was a good one, but
the writer failetl to Tice both sides of the sto
ry. The-facts are these: Our Republican
changed the headings of the two papers for
the sole purpose of securing a copy of the
Observer for himself, which he actually car
ried in his pocket ffra week, under the head
ing of the Erie Daily Republican.
Not long since a 'Club was Pinned here for
the N. Y. World, the magnitude of which we
will state as given by the• Post Master, ad in
terim.. The morning the first package came
for the club, the Post Master (an extreme
Radical) after distributing the' mail, rushed
out of the office, loOking very pale: Meeting
another Rad at the kloot he exclaimed: "My
What is up there xvrts.more
than five thousand N. Y. Worlds came into
the office this morning." The shock was a
hard one, but at hit accounts he was doing
well. By the way, our Republican friends
about here are getting very obliging of late.
Should a Democrat fltil'to get in the office
,within ten minutes'after the mail is tfistribit
tett; his paper is taken out by a Republican
neighbor, who reads it and hands it to the
owner the first time they meet. The other
day a Democratic friend Went to the office
for his mail Seeing no one in attendance,
he knocked at the 'tleliver!,-" with his cane,
but no one appear Mi. He knocked several
times, but no sortmlcame from within. Think
ing to learn what was the matter, he stepped
to the door(standibg ajar) lending to the dis
tributing department, and there beheld the-
Post Master, his clerk, and six or seven of the
leading Republicans of the town, all seated
around the stove, each one with a Copy of the
LaCrosse Democrat, and it was with difficul
ty • that he could get their attention longi
enough to get his Paper, which one of the
party happened to be reading—fly mistake.
Re, however, succeeded in getting MS mail.
and left the office, using language that would
have sounded more graceful had it been ar
ranged a little different. 'More anon.
I • ' G. 0. Foam
. .
' Trln Gazette, in lone of those whiffety arti
cles which are peculiar to its columns, says
of the editor of this paper :
"In his issue of the 18tli ult., lit , " charged
the Republican -business men, of Eric with
being influenced by political prejudice in re
fusing to patronize the - Observer.'
Now, nnfortnnately for the Gazette's vent- !
city, we'eharged nothing of. the.sort. What I
we did say was this—
" Perhaps
some people who refuse to ad- •
vertise in the Observer on account of its pol-
litics, may open their eyes one of these days
to the fact that they are a little like the man
who cut off his nose to spite his face. A
shrewd business man will ever be prompt to
avail himself of the most largely- circulated
papers to spread What he wishes before the
public, regardless of whether they are Dem
ocratic or Republican, Methotlict or Catholic,
.lew or Gentile." l 1 •
The Public will.perceive that we had ref
erence only to tluit class of persons who al
low their Polities 'to run away with their
brains. We hard no complaint to make of
our Republican lthsiness men generally, who,
knowing the Observer to be the best adver
tising medium in I the' county, have in many
cases availed themselves of its advantages,
and, we have reaSlon to believe, received a
satisfactory return for the investment, It is
[to the credit of all classes in our city that
they permit partisan influences to affect them
. very slightly in business dealings, and the
mass of both parties will heartily endorse
our original remarks on the subject.
The petty and contemptible attempt of our
cotemporary'to stir up 'political prejudice, in
the hope of benefiting its interests, will de
ceive no sensible person. We should not be
surprised if it yet proved a boomerang to the
one who resorted to it. •

TIM Post Office Department, in a fit of
economy, has decided no longer to pay for
the publication of the lists of letters. Those
journals that print theni now do it gratui
tously, and the fact of their appearance. is no
criterion of circulation. ' '
Oyu city physicians agree that the last
year was the healthiest within their remem
brance. No epidemics, no contagious "dis
eases, not even the average 'number of sea
sonable complaints. Most' people are too
poor to afford the luxury of sickness. -
Tat: spotting portion of the community
has been much interested during the week
over Weston, the pedestrian, who appeared
in Farrar Hall, on Tuesday,and has remained .
to repeat the exbibitiOn on Friday evening.
We did not attend on Tuesday, but under
stand ,that his audience were better pleased
than they expected.
A PARTY of young ladies in North East,
taking advantage or Leap Year, gave their
friends of the opposite sex a sleigh-ride to
Quinces• and back, last week. They com
plain of the landlord at Quincey for charging
them too high, from which we infer that
playing the gallant is a more costly business
than they imagined.
TUE story is going the rounds of the pa
pers that one of the mein who robbed old Ben
ninghotr, after fillinghis pockets with green
backs, stepped to the bed where that miserly
individual was secured, and whispered con
solation in his ear by saying: " ou'll never
spend the money yourself, old chap so we're
goilg , to spend it for you.'
TILE "Republican" some time ago charae
terized the proposition to pay off the public
debt in greenbacks ItS "repudiation." We
have some curiosity to know what it thinks
of the idea, nos that the leading representa
tive of "true Republicanism" in the county,
Mr. Lowry, has become one of its ‘rarmest
advocates. Will our cotemporary dare - to
style its patron saint a "repudiator ?"

TIM proposed Seminary- : , .at North East
is meeting with a' degree of encouragement
that is almost a certain assurance of its suc

$17,000 had taen obtained last week. The
ladies of that place give an entertainment
this (Thursday) evening, to help the cause
along, the notice of which we regret not
having received in time to publish last week.
We sincerely trust our North East neighbors
will accomplish the undertaking they have
set out to perform, and will gladly render
them any encouragement in our power.
WE understand that arrangements have
been effected by which the daily Republican

Henry will be presented by their friend -4 as
candidates for re-election. Whether the other
gentlemen will again be candidates we are
not informed. •
Sow: sensible editor,•who has probably
had an experience Of the sort he describes,
gives the following suggestions on a subject
that concerns a large portion of the commu
nity:
"Suppose a man occupies a house worth
three thousand dollars, and pays •a rent of
four hundred- dollars per annum, payable
quarterly. He will, in seyen years, have paid
two thousand eight hundred dollars, and. lost
the-interest on the payments of' the rent he
has made within this time, amounting to Ste
hundred and. sixty-seven - dollars. He has
consumed, three thousand three hundred and
sixtv- , even dollars, and has nothing to show
for it save the receipts of his landlord. How
much better would it be to buy a lot on sev
en year's time, and put up a house, which
would at the end of that time he paid for,
-without anY trouble. A house and lot is al
so the best savings bank a man can have."
