Democratic Victory in Legami.
The spring election in 'Leß(euf township

2d Tuesday of *February, and resulted at *the
contest last week as follows:

In 1867 the Radicals had 43 majority in
Leßawl township, and at ~onte elections
they have exceeded that number. The Cor
respondent who furnishes us the above adds
"Sham loyalty i ! ; at a diwriunt ip old Le
Tim greater portion, of Senator Lowry's
grievance, arise from the press of his own
party. They will nut let hint alone, and are
incessantly giving him something to corn
plain of. A short time since, he felt it to be
his duty to make some strictures upon
. the
Radical press of Pittsburgh, whereupon the
Gazette, of that city, says ; "It does not be
come Mr. Lowry to put himself forward as a
cen , or of the press in general or of any sec
tion thereof. If any ten journals in the
Commonwealth have done as much violent
and coarse scolding in their columns as he
has done from his seat in the Senate, during
the seven years he has occupied it, they de
serve to be abated as public nuisances." The
Meadville Republican, which never loses an
opportunit)s to give him a slap, unkindly
adds to the above that "about the worst com
pliment a newspaper could receive would be
Lowry's approval." The Senator has a tacit
ty of saying as share things us he receives,
and we expect soon to hear of him coming
down upon the Gazette and Republican in
regular sledge hammer style.
WE learn front Harrisburg that the State
authorities have resolved upon adopting de
termined measures to make the Atlantic ez
Great Westetn Railway Company comply
with the provision of their charter which
provides that they shall Make a connection
with the harbor of Erie. The, act was passed
in May, 1857, and gave them ten years in
which to ffiltil its provisions, which tifne
having more than elapsed, it is evident that
the company have no intention M obey the
law unless compelled by the strong' arm of
the State. It is contended that in a strict le
gal sense, the company, by . refusing to obey
one portion of the charter, have forfeited the
whole, but the State officers do not intend
forcing the case to this unpleasant conclusion
unless the company, by its perverseness, shall
oblige them to resort to the MR extent of the
law, The Senate has authorized the Attorney
General to proceed by such means as may be
neeessa'ry to secure obedience to the violated
charter, and instructed hint, if he fails to brine
the matter to a aatisfitctory point through the
Courts, M report to that binly what addition
al legislation is required to compel the en
ibreemon tiof the company's obligations to the
State.
Tin: spring elections in Warren bounty
were held last week, and seem Mhavemost
ly been contended upon political grounds.
In Warren borough the Democrats elected
all of their ticket except the candidates for
school Directors by majorities ranging from
to 11. The Radicals made tremendous ef
forts, but without avail. Brokenstraw town
ship, always Radical heretofore, cave' 46
Democratic majority. Glade went Itadietd
by an average majority of 18, and In Youngs
ville, though the Democrats were beaten,
they gained 11 upon the vote of last MI. The
Democratic candidate for constable in
Youngsville was a soldier who served his
time in the Bncktail Regiment, yet he was
defeated by a "slishy-slashy sort of a Radical,
whom our opponents were pleased to calla
Copperhes;Td" during the war. The staunch
Democratib townships of Conewango, Plea
sant, Limestone nod Meade, stood faithfully
bv'the old flag: Deerfield, hitherto reliably
Radical, Wheeled herself into the Democrat
ic column. In the two Radical townships
of Spring Creek and Pine Grove we carried
the election boards, while in Columbus, the
Radical ranks were so much "demoralized,'!,
that in several ea,ei the vote is a tie. Tidi
oute went Radical by a reduced majority,
and in the heavy °Radical township of Pitts
field they are reduced to the beg t garly major
ity of four votes. These facts show that the
Warren county Democracy are alert to the
necessities of the hour, and give the warrant
of an encouraging result in the fall.
Is it not a little stranue that in Lancaster
county, in this State, with a Republican' ma
jority of 0,000, the rate of taxation for the
current year is fixed at two and a half mills
on the dollar? In the Democratic county of
York it is seven mills on the dollar, and in
Berks, with a Democratic majority of 7,000,
it is nearly ten mills.—Republican.
Wouldn't it be advisable for our neighbor
to make solve - inquiries into the rates of tax
ation at home, before troubling itself about
the affairs of counties way off in the Eastern
part of the state? Unless we are wrongly in
formusl,,the tax levy of Erie _county is higher
than either of theea, named, while that of
Erie city, having a Radical 'majority of sev
eral hundred, is nearly double that of either
Ltincaster or Harrisburg, both under Demo
cratic rule. We would suggest to our neigh
bor. that a close investigation into the com
parative expensei under Radical and' Demo
cratic administrations may not •prove very
.profitable to its party interests.

ice dealers, haie laid in a Pupply of 26,600
tons this winter, with which they expect to
meet all the wants of the city and surround

been surpassed ; some of the blocks are 14

County . Expenses.
The Commisstmers have published their
annual statement of the receipts and expens=
es of the county, from which we -learn that
the total sum in the Treasury during the year
1867 was $157,818, of which $96,031 was left
over fram the year preceding, and the total
expenditures $94,059. There were redeemed
$365.45 of the' warrants of 1866, $4,275 of
bounty warrants, and $30,000 of county scrip
was destroyed, leaving a balance in the Trea
sury on the Ist of January, 1868, of $ 29 .218-'
a very snug sum to • . start upon. Of the
expenses, the following are, among the most
interesting items . : Coal for Court House and
Jail $720.13; for the tailor's house $134;
boarding prisoners $3,002 ; painting Court
House $1,853 ; paid Sheriff Brown for con
veying persons to Penitentiary, - House of
Refuge and Insane Asylum $386; paid same

mont Hospital $1.02.1; board of convicts in
Western ,Penitentiary $1,596; expenses of
General Election, 1867, $1,334; expenses of
spring election, 1867, $571 ;-bond of Court

Sunbury ti Erie bonds redeemed, with coil;
ports ; $33,983; interest on bounty warrants
$930; commissions allowed County Treasur

It will be perceived. by these figures that
the finances of the county ure in a healthy
condition, and that all the prospects point to
a speedy release from indebtediess of every
kind. Some of the items of expeoselook to
us remarkably:large, but as we are not ac
quainted with the circumstances sufficiently
to be able to giye a correct statement in re

secure more accurate information.

Presentation.
The Sunday School Entertainment of the
United Presbyterian church, on last Friday
evening, was a very fine affair. The exer
cises were well arranged, and the declama
tions, singing, &c., were exceedingly well
rendered, reflecting great credit upon those
taking an active part. At the -close Of the
services. Mr. Barr, on behalf of the cones
gallon, presented a befutiful Coffee Uru to
Miss Ettie Riblet, for long services in 'the
choir, with the following remarks:
Miss Henrietta giblet—By request of
many of your friends in this congregation,
and by their direction, present you from
them this Urn, as a testimonial of their re
gard and a very slight acknowledgement of
the value of the voluntary and long continu
ed assistance rendered by you in an Impor
tant part of public worship in this house.
While all acknowledge their indebtedness to
others who have renderedvaltable assistance
in the same department from time to time,
yours has been for a longer period, without
interruption, than that of any other volunta
rily given. This is not intended, by any of
those whom I here represent, as payment,
but simply as a remembrance to you that
while, your services have not been paid for,
they have not been under-estimated, nor for
gotten ; and permit me here to remark that
one whose voice has been most frequently
heard by us in union with your own in our
church music, has been the , most active in
collecting the necessary fends for its pur
chase. We are well convinced that this is to
you an unexpected part, of this evening's eb
tertainment, and that you are entirely taken
by surprise, and we shall therefore expect no
reply from you Wishing von'a long, a hap
py amili useful life, we unite in- expressing
the hope that when your voice shall have
ceased to be heard In singing the praises of
God in - his earthly- courts, that the blessed
Jesus shall have called you to join in the
music of that happy host, that great congre
gation of His saints who sing His praises in

Gardner, by name, who undertook the feat
of walking one hundred miles in as many
successive hours, in Empire Hall, last week,
arrived at his journey's cud on Saturday
night at 10 o'clock, having accomplished the
task successfnlly. He appeared but little
fatigued by the tramp, and on Monday morn
ing was seen upon the streets looking as live
ly as a cricket, and declaring by all that's
good and bad that ho can travel twenty-four
hours longer whenever any one sees fit to
make a bet on it. `dime doubts are expressed
whether Gardner actually walked as agreed,
but wesare informed by parties who profess
to be posted, that he was so carefully watched
there could have been no opportunity for him
to shirk any portion of the task. A good
deal of money changed hands over the walk,
but the number of spectators was limited,
and we question whether the managers much
more than paid.expenses.
Notice.
We have sent this week a number of bills
to persons who are still indebted to 119 for
subscription, and hope they wilt . respond to
our calls promptly. The times are so tight
that we barely take in enough money to meet
our expenses, and every-cent that is unjustly
withheld . adds just that much to the difficul
ties of our position. It Is not often that we
complain, but the dilatoriness _which some
exhibit would have been too much for the pa-
tience of Job.
Iris not generally known that the guy
ernment redeems all mutilated cturetioy,
whether greenbacks or shinplasters, when
sent in to the Treasurer of the Vaited States,
at Washington, in packages of three dollars
or-over. Business men can save themselves
considerable loss by keeping this fact in mem

Taz destitution and suffering arnort the
working classes in almOst every Nosihern
State has never been so bad in the memory
of man as at present. The country is trav
ersed in every direbtign by mechanics in search
of work.- Let Radicalismcontinue in power
and the condition of the Working classes will
be made still worse.
, AN Instance is related of an "active Dem
ocrat in one of the townships of.Ouernsey
i
county, Ohio , who has p ro red the mime of
every Democratic voter irllis own and ad
ioi uing school district as subscribers to a Dem
ocratic county paper." HIS example is worthy
of imitation not only here, but in every por
tion of the country,
SURE of our Radicals declare that Lowry
is preparing to join the Democrats. We sm•
cerely.hope that if he has any notion of the
kind, his friends, may prevail on him to change
his mind.. The Democracy can get along
well enough without him, but what in the
world will•the poor, disjointed and dying old
Radical party do in mac they lose their
leader?

A COTRIEPOItARY gives an - account of a
"London practitioner" who "cures the most
desperate eases of toothache, Unless the dis
ease is connected with 'rheumatism, by an
application of the following remedy : Alum,
reduced to an inpalpable powder, two
drachms; nitrous spirits of ether, seven
drachms; mix and apply to the tooth."
Should the application be what is claimed
for it, the "London practitioner" will deserve
the thanks of the race for its invention.
THE Democratic Committee of Lawrence
county haveitelected D. R. Morris as Senato
rial and Col. E. W. Stephens, Jr., as Repre
sentative delegates to the State Convention.
They also adopted a resolution earnestly
urging the Democrats of the county to or
ganize associations and prepare for the great
work of the fall campaign. The Gazette
states. that "the' members of the Committee
gave a cheering account, of the condition of
the party in their respective districts. All are
awake and in good heart for the work.- No
where are we sustaining losses; and in dif
ferent localities we are making important
gains."_
A IIOVEMENT is on Riot to take the grant
ing of licenses out of the control of the Court
and place it in the hands of the city Treasur
er, the same as in several other cities of the
State. It is claimed that the revenue de
rived from this source in the city properly
belongs to our corporation Treasury, and
that the Treasurer, froit his more intimate
acquaintance with the people of the city, is
better able to decide who should have licen
ses, than the Judges, only one of whoth is a
resident of Erie. The argument is plausible,
to say the least, and we do not see how any
reasonable objection can be made to the pro
posed' change.
TUE Titusville Herald vents its .curses
loud and deep upon the Radical State Sen
ate. fir defeating its pet new county 'project,
and throws out grave hints of treachery
against the dominant Radical politicians bf
Crawfdrd county, who_ promised the success
of the bill. - Under this pledge many Demo
crats in Eastern Crawford were induced to
support the Radical nominees for Assembly,
and they will probably conclude now, as see
told them at the tithe, that it would have
been better to adhere to theirown party. We
haw never• seen nn ...instance where Demo
crats deserted their principles to secure some
object of real or imaginary local advantage
that they did not find rause to regret it after
wards.
THE stot4iholders:nf the Dunkirk & War
ren R.. R. Met at the Reed House on Mon
day and held their annual election for officers.
The event attracted a large number of the
most proininent citizens of Warren, who are
deeply interested In the measure. It seems
likely that before tiro more years have
passed, this mad will be an accomplished
fact. The contract has been lehand wealthy
men have taken hold hf the enterprise, who
are resolved to push it through. The road
will connect with the Lake Shore at Dunkirk,
and with the Allegheny Valley at Irvine,
making a continuous route from Butrnto to
Pittsburgh. Its completion will be of great
advantage toWarren; as that place will, in
all likelihood, be thelocation of the machine
.hops of the road.
Aurnouott the day: is rather late, we ten
ted refrain from adding our testimony to the
merits of the loneert given by the "Old
Folks of Titusville" at Farrar Hall, on. Thur
sday evening of hist week. The audience
was one of the largest convened in our city
during the present winter, and we have not
beard a „person who. wasjin attendance that
did not pronounce the:tertainment with
out exception the best t t has been given in
Erie for a long period. ,The singing of Mrs.
Burtis was alone worth the price of adnils
sion., We congratulate the people of Titus
ville upon having a corps of musicians•ln
their midst of such unsurpassed attainments
as the "Old Folks."
EVERY week the N. Y. Tribune publishes
a column or more of letters from wealthy
Radicals sending money". to secure the free
distribution of that paper among the people.
The men who purstie this course Understand
the secret of poll dealanceess. One live journal
of either party, freely circulated among the
masses, will have more influence than ten
times the amount expended in noisy mass
meetings. We commend the example of the
Tribune's friends to Democrats everywhere;
as the best means that can be adopted for
procuring the triumph of our cause.
THE Irish portion of our citizens are mak
ing their preparations for the customary an
nual celebration of St. Patrick's day, on the
17th of March next. A grand procession is
to take place, in which the Father Mathew,
Irish American and Fenian Societies will
participate, to he followed with an entertain
ment.in the evening. The four city. bands
have all been engaged, and it-is expected
that the celebration will be more largely at
tended and on a better scale than any one
hitherto held in Erie.
Tux. National Publishing Compady of
Philadelphia will sbon publish 'a new book

to be one of the most interesting issued in

taitiaiNt . men are WoAdt:* ,nbotit the•
city for a dollar and a dollar and a quarter a
day, and find employment 'scarce even it
such beggarly wages.' Many of this class of
people find it hard to support their
and we are inclined to believe that* in some
cases a great deal of distress prevails. We
have never seen a period - when so many per
sons were out of employment, and unless the
spring opens better than we anticipate the
cases of extreme poverty will be double any
former season. But what matters it that
white men, women and children starve, when
the nigger is free, .and "Witty" reignk tri
umphant ? The Cuffees, Sambas and
Jemimas of the South can eat, drink and - be
merry at the public expense, while the poor
men here at the North, who were so unfortu
nate as to be born white, are compelled - to
wear out body and "soul to eke, a TIMM
subsistence. The acme of pure Republican
government is reached at last; let us rejoice
and shout hallelujah day and night ! Allah,
be praised ; Grant is King; Steven's is his
prophet; and the millennium which the Re
publican party was established to secure, is
finally at hand !
