EVILS TO BE CURED AT HOME.—The New
York .Totirnal of Coinmerce is calling atten
tion to the injustice which prevails in many
of our public institutions in regard to the
treatment of their inmates, and cites facts
which are almost too shocking for belief. The
invt•stigations made thus far are .only -par
tial, but many of them prove the existence of
abuses, which, for the credit of our race and
country. cannot be too soon reformed. In
Pennsylvania, the Committee selected by the
Governor to inquire into the condition of
our jails and pour houses, make a report that,
is well calculated to startle every man and
woman of humane instincts. Not only are
paupers sold to the highest bidder in *mitt
counties, after the fashion known to prevail
in New England, but Instances of shocking
inhumanity are by no means rare. in the
insane department of the Adams county pool"
•house there are three men and one woman
who have been confined to the floor with
heavy chains, worn bright by constant use
for twenty-five years and over; and, in
the same institution,` there are two men
chained to fifty-six pound weights, which
they are obliged to drag after them where
ever they monve. At the Franklin county
nbAshonse one patient, over eighty years of
age, has been chained for twenty'years, and
two others arc occasionally confined. Five
counties are mined in which cells are in the
basement, dark, damp, filthy and ill ventila
ted, no ground attached, no employment giv
en, no instruction, no religious services on
any day 'of the week, and gambling and
drinking to excess.: No language is too severe
in condemnation of practices so disgraceful
to Christian civilization.
TUE several companies owning the Warren
6k, Franklin It. R., the Oil Creek road and
the Farmers' road, hive - been consolidated,
Under the title of "The Oil Creek and
Allegheny River Railway Company," with a
share capital of $4,239,000. - They have
purchased the Reno road, and intend, it is
said, to take up its track and use the rails to
lay dowu the the wide guage from Petroleum
Centre to Oil City, and the narrow guage
from Oil City to Franklin, thus making both
guages continuous and unbroken, between
Corry and Franklin. The merger stipulates
that one common charge shall be imposed
on oil, irrespective .of distance, carried over
the consolidated line; minimuml specified
fifty cents per barrel Hence, according to
our information, the charge will be the same
on a barrel of oil whether it be carried from
Petroleum Center to Oil City, 8 miles, des
tined down the Allegheny valley, or from
Petroleum Centre to Corry 38 miles, destined
for the Erie or Lake Shoreroads, or from
'Petroleum Centre via Oil City to Irvineton,

TUE City Councils ofTitusville have passed
a resolution favoring the creation of u new
county, with that plitee as the- shire town,
and agree to- croct all the necessary build
ings free of expettge to the peophr in the

the thspo,ition of the Legislature at present,
it does pot look much as if they would be af

A cownEu man has undertaken the diffi
cult task of walking one hundied miles in
the same number of.hours, without sleep or
rest, on a bet of 000. The experiment com
menced in Empire Hall on Tuesday evening
at 6, and, if successful, will conclude on Sat
urday at 10 o'clock. Spectators. are admit
ted at twenty-five cents each; but the enter-,
tainment does not appear to attract many.
Tin: Franklin Spectator predicts that Sen
ator Lowry 's scheme to-create a new county
out of portions of Crawford. Venango, For
est and Warren, will fail to become a law.
The Warren, Forest and Venango county
papers oppose. it, while those of Crawford
arc mostly, if not all, favorable. A Commit
tee of citizens fromthe localities most inter
ested have gone on to Harrisburg, to work
for the bill.

\VESDELL PHILLIPS' lecture- on " Daniel
O'Conuelr' will be given in Farrar Hall to
morrow IFridayl evening, the 14th inst. We
have sonic curiosity to see whether our Rad
ical citizens will invite him to deliver a po
iitical speech, at the conclusion of his regular
lecture. as they did dining his visit in Janu
ary. In case they fait to do so, it is pmposed
that the Denuferatic portion of the audience
;n tke amends by asking him to explain• his
reasons for believing that Gen. Grant has
fallen into intemperate habits.
Os Tuesday night, two sleigh loads of
young people from Harbor Creek were out
riding, when a singular accident 'occurred.
While going down hilt a horse belonging to
the rear sleigh got loose, and raninUt the one
ahead, jumping among its passengers. - One
lady had her limb broken, and others had
their faces and bodies injured. The horse,
in its efforts to extricate -himself, fell out of
the side of the sleigh, taking three- ladies
along, and rolled completely over them,
fastening them in the snow until he could be
lifted off.
TIIE Girard Spectator says "a Leap Year
party, in which the ladies, taking advantage
Of the occasion, did all the honors, was given
at Sherman's Hotel, in Albion last Friday.
The fair projectors of the affair, went after
'heir chosen partners of the sterner sex, es
sorted them to the hotel, invited them to
dance, showed them down - to supper, did the
treating, and took them home, settled all the
bills, and; in short, performed all the cash
duties and attentions, it is three years out of
four, man's priviligc to assume. • The ladies
were a complete sucee-A nu this occasion,
'and the boys hugely egjoved the novelty of
such cheap fun."
THE Garotte, a few weeks since, contained
a long sensation report, implicating lion.
Wm. A. Wallace and Rev. Father Tracy in
some fraudulent election transactions in
Clearfield County. The last Clearfield Re
publican contains an editorial pronouncing
the charges against Messrs. Wallace and Tra
cy false from beginning to end. and says that
they are based upon the testimony of one
°lies rts,, a renegade Irishman, who has made
three narrow escapes from , being sent to the
Penitentiary, and whose "utter depravity and
want of character is so well known" in that
community "that it seems scarcely worth
while to comment:upon it." It will require
the oaths of a great many creatures like this
to break down the reputations of Hon. Wm.
A.. Wallace and Father Tracy among those
who know them. -
Tae daily Republicridof Monday contained
Mr. Orlffey's announcement of the sale
of that ,establishment to Messrs. A. H.
Caughey; E. W. Curriden and H. Butterfield,
who will continue its management under the
firm name of Caughey, Curriden &Butter
field. The new proprietors have alsopnr
ehaied the jobbing otlice of Messrs. Foulke
4; Mellen, and intend making an active effort
to build up that branch of the business. We
are free to say that we have little faith in the
success of a second daily in Erie, for the next
five years. The gentlemen named seem to be
of.a different npin ion;rtnil if their judgment
proves better than ours we shall gladly give
them the credit of it. The members of the
firm are all gentlemen whom we hold in the
highest .esteem, and for the sake of their
purses, w'eltope they may meet with an en
couragement equal to their fondest anticipa
tions.
Tire Elk Advocate learns that the nettle
of Hon. Henry Souther, of that county, will
be presented for the next Radical Congres
sional nomination in this district. It is given
out that Mr. Scofield will not a candidate
for renomination, but if the circumstances
should look favorable, we suspect that he
will not refuse to try his chances. Prom
Clearfield, it is understood, that H. Bucher
Swoope and John Patton will be urged by
their friends, with the prospects most favor
able for the latter. In this county the Candi
dates most prominently named are lion.
John H. Walker, ez-Rev. J. 11. Witallon and
Mayor Noble. Whallon is working like a
hero, and feels confident of success. The
nomination belongs, as a matter of justice, to
Mr. Walker, and if the Radical County Con
vention refuses him its endorsement, he will
pare abundant reason to complain of the in
gratitude of a party to the interests of which
he has devoted the best years of his life.

En. REPEBLICAN :—Sir, I see in your publi

count of my marriage, whiCh I beg lead to
correct. I respectftilly ask that •Mr:-Nimrod
will, in tbT future, better inform himself in the whereabouts 'of those of whom
he knows nothing. I want it distinctly un
derstood that I did not advertise for corres
pondents, either tar mental improvement or
matrimony. I think myself above such con
duct. Very true, I never saw the gentleman
I married, until a very few days before I
married him, yet, this is no reason that he
shOuld have seen my name in the papers.
We became acquainted through a lady in
New York, and I have reasons to believe
that no one is more tranquil or hippy than
myself. Mr. Editor, I hunibly ask in justice
to my husband and myself that you give this

J. E. LILLIE.
THE fickleness of men's fortunes receives
a fresh illustration in. the -following from' a
Buffalo paper :
"A. day or two since an tild gentleman, Mr.
Alanson Palmer, now in liis dbtage, but at
one time one of the wealthiest men in Buffa
lo, who used to drive through our streets
with his coach anti four, and who dispensed
charity with a liberal hand and entertained
his friends with princely hospitality, was be
fore the police court, poor, thinly clad, and
emaciated in person, charged with petit lar
ceny in stealing a shirt from - a young man.
Justice.Vancierptittl, not considering the cir
cumstance 4 under which Ti timer got posses
shin of the shirt could be legally constructed
into a larcimv, and considering the 7 mental
and bodily condition of the old man, dis
misst;tl the case. The next day this aged
in in—with not one of those who, in his day of
prosperity, partook of his hospitality or were
fed by his bounty, to pity his condition or
administer to his sufferings—was sent to the
poor house as a vagrant bar four months."
Tun Dispatch states a trueism which can
not be denied when it alleges that "there is
not that degree of pride and care existing in
our community which - Is necessary for per
fect co-operation and Oneral prosperity."
We regret to' make the confession, but it
must be evident to every one that the great
drawback of our city is the 'lack of hearty
zeal and unity of purpose which prevails,
among all classes, with comparatiiely few
exceptions. To this deficiency may be at
tributed the failure of a number of valuable
enterpriscs'which would have added vastly
to the prosperity of the city. If we eves ex
pect Erie to attain the Importance her natu
ral advantages entitle her to, we must strive
to cultivate a feeling of more harmony in the
community, and a disposition to labor for the
common interest. •
Tar. rights which accrue to the ladies by
the return of Leap Year, it appears, are not
the result of custom alone, but are founded
on the solid rock :of a positive statute.
The following enactment, passed by onr
Anglo-Saxon forefathers, has never been re
pealed, and possesses as binding force as if
it bad been adopted the present year. We
advise all bachelors, young and old, to read
it carefully, and take care that they do not
subject themselves to its penalties :
"When retnrneth ye Bissextile year then
scithil ye laydes in all conntryes and landes
be ye onlie gallanties; and they may make love
unto ye menne, by !pokes or wordes or alle
menes that doe seem proper to them, oldie
they khan use no force but onlie take them
husbands fairlie. And no manne schall put
by et reject cone fair Offer nor cause too
much suing except he lo4e benefit of clergy
therefor."
TIM Elk Advocate, referring to iicntield's
resolution of inquiry into .the views of Jus
tice Field, makes the following pertinent
suggestions: • •
Now, Mr. Scofield, if you really wish to
do some good for the country, and more es
pecially for a part of your immediate cop;
stituency, we would advise you to offer a
resolution of inquiry to find out why the .
business affairs of the whole country remain
in such an unsettled state? .Why, that here
in our own little county, of Elk, where last
year there were exported Sixty million feet
of lumber to the eastern and western mar
kets, there will not he more than one-sirth of
that amount exported during the present
year? These are infinitely graver question*
than whether some of the branches of the
government disagreetiitli you on an abstract
question. Come, Mr. Scofield, spare a few
days from your attention hi .Sambo, and de
vote them to the benefit of your people."

Tim Radicals of this section are by no
means unanimous in favor of Gen. Grant for
the Presidency, whatever may be the claims
of their organs. While the politicians are
generally for him, the mass of thinking men
fail to see in the General the man for the
times, and prefer some more outspoken
candidate. We have' heard et not less
thatiia dozen zealous members of the party
in this city who declare that they do not
wish to see Grant nominated, and several of
them go to the extent of asserting that they
will not vote for him. .

Ws hope to ace a mu house greet the "Old
Folkcs of Titusville;" at their concert this
(Thursday) evening, in Farrar Hall. The
troupe are pronounced by all.who heard
them on their last visit, equal to the best that
have visited our city, and the circumstances
under which they repeat their entertainment
(having been invited by a committee.of citi
zens) renders it desirable that they should
meet with a more than usually favorable re
ception.. • •
TYE gross receipts of the entertainment
for-the benefit of the Monument :Fund were
$6.18.33, and the expenses *216.10, leaving a
balance of $442.23. This amount, small as it
is, affords the hidies a bssisto start upon, and
the Festivals they propose giving in the sum:
mer will swell it to a considerable extent.
TLEE, comic opera 9f the "Morgramdbruck"

TUE Dispatch claim to be in posession of
reliable' information that "a line of from six
to eight steamers will be established between
Erie, Detroit and (Thiesgo, early in the
spring, by the Eric and Northwestern Trans
portation Company."
The Negroes of the Sticith.
. correspondent of the daily Republican,
writing from Lexington, Ky., over the signa
ture of-"T. R.," gives the following sketch of
negm character in that vicinity. As he is in
all probability a Radical, we, presume that
none will accuse hlnfof producing an exag
gerated picture:_
"I strolled into a colored meeting yester-
day, (Sunday) held in a large building near
the hotel at which I tarry. The building
was filled to its utmost capacity,and a darker
scene I never beheld.
"Lhad often heard of the eccentric charac
ter of the negro meetings. South, and I will
confese-thatttiriesity wasiny prevailing mo
tive in attending. As I entered, the preacher,
who had not yet reached the highest pitch of
voice, was drawing tears from the eyes of
his hearers, by , narrating how the wicked
-Jews "pulled de liar" of Jesus in taking him
from the judgment hall. A.s the speaker
warmed with this subject, the shouting,
groaning and Yelling; becamp "temille,'‘,and
when hls - velcb finally' reached- the highest
pitch, the scene became one which I never
shall forget, and can poorly describe. One
after another sprang up, writhing and twist
hid their bodies min all Made of contortions,
some at a single bound throwing themselves
over two or three seats, some spinning around
like a top, while one girl was in the aisle im
itatiag With exact predsion, though uncon
sciously, the motions of a toy called "Danc
ing Jack." Not unfrequently: home would
lie down and roll the entire length 'of the
aisle. One stalwart negro was so violent in
his demonstrations that fite or six men were
compelled to lay him upon a bench and hold
him down.
."As the speaker lowered his voice, the au
dience became more quiet till order again
prevailed. These physical exhibitions I am
compelled to believe are entirely involunta
ry, and result from their excitable nature:
It is not what the preacher says in many in
stances,,but the way he says it, that causes
this wild excitement. A more empty, sense
less, unmeaning harangue, I never heard
than the mitlister'i sermon. - I like Aunt
Judy's idea of "hollerin7 in meeting ; she
says : "'Taint de rate grace, honey • taint de
sure glory. You holler too loud. When
you gets de dove in yOur heart and de Lamb
in lour' bosom, youil feel as of you was in
dat stable at Bothfcm, and de blessed Virgin
had lent you de sleepin' baby to h01,1.' " .
- Ludicrous as this skOtch appears, we be
lieve it to be strictly true ; and, firtilcrmore,
that the negroes describei are a fair sample
of ninety-nine hundredths of their,race in the
South. it Is in the hands of such a class of.
voters as these that the Radicals intend com
mitting the destinies:of that section, and by
that means secure the balance of power in
the Union for years to come. We put it to
Ahe common sense of Any intelligent person,
whether the South is not justified in endeav
oring to thwart the scheme, and 'whether the
interests of the whore country do not demand
its indignant repudiation.
