The- "city election on

most orderly conducted we have - .ever seen.
The pia is nearly equal tollatti cast , in. the
Gubernntional • campaign of 181x6, showing
the general interest felt in the result. • The
verdict of the people was heavily in favor of
sustaining: the so-called "Improvement"
ticket, or rather the ticket endorsing the
course of the City Councils,,for one side
Claimed to be as good "Improvement" men
as the other. Mayor Noble's mhjority ex
ceeds the most confident expectations of his
friends, and the vote in favor of all the suc
cessful candidates was (mite as surprising
to them as to their opponents. It is evident
thatthe current of popular opinion is run
ning: strongly one way, and will continue to
6)r some time to come. The fedt is, that
such, an overwheiraing verdict may Icad to
:a -degree of extravagance in improyement
'that nuif create a rebound, and it: is esseminl
that the friends of progress should guard
agaiw,t that result with the t;triete , t care.

Radical Poetry.
Some Radical, who has not the fear of Sen
ator Lowry before his eyes, makes one of his
late speeches the occasion for pouring, forth
his dislike in the following spiteful- rhymes,
through the -columns of the Meadville Repub
lican. We should like to be present, if the
two ever conic in contact:
• Andrew Johnson is today as elephant, at
tempting to treading to tread upon our heels.
His ponderous hoofs are already crimsoned
with blood.—[Lowry's speech on Impeach
ment.
There is an ancient say."' doth say,
`!\Ve know a jackass by his bray."
'Tis trite, and so it came to pass
That Lowry's speech proves him an ass.
His cars are bid until he feels • •
The elephant upon his heels,
The pain uneharms hint and he sounds
A note which all the music drowns,
Anil sudden breaks with discord loud
The spell that holds the assembled crowd.
The harp of it,thousand strings is vain, .
'Naught can restore the charm again,
For Nature strong asserts her sway
And makes the blundering jackass bray.
Jusr now it Deems to the fashion to have
"little uuplea.tantnesses" among the pnblic
men ut our county, and the Girard Spectator,
which was busily engaged a few weeks since
ip endeavoring to foment a strife in the Dem
ocratic ranks, has fallen a victim to its own
intrigues. Something that the editor has
done, or that ('ol. Rice has done, or that
both have done, ha, caused a coldness be
tween them,and as a conscnueuce,the Specta
tor is no longer the Colonel's accepted organ.
We understand that he has determined to
remove the Conneautyille Crisis to Girard,
where it is to advocate . Democratic princi
ples, with the main object in view of making
the redoubtable Colonel our next candidate
for the Presidency: It is' hardly likely that
an old established and well conducted jour
malike the I)ecifttyr can be - very seriously
injured by any competition that may be
brought to bear against it. The experiments
in starting new papers in this section, during
the past tire years, have been' too unfortu
nate to warrant the belief tlfat similar ef-
Torts will be attended with better encourage
ment for some time to come. I,
Mu. Isaac BAILER bus become a partner In
the store of Baker & Ostheimer, and the firm
will hereafter be known as Baker, Osthcimer
4.C; Co. They will remove .into the large
store room lately occupied by Mn Justice, on
the Ist of April, end open one of the largest
stocks of new goods ever brought to the city.

Good Tidings front the County.
The electiodnews imm every part of "the

show encouraging resalti tor the Democ

The following letters speak their own story:

Erlitor Obserrei—l take pleasure in an
nouncing, to you the neasuf our great Dem
ocratic victory in this city lit -day. On a
straight race, we elect Randall- H. Palmer,
Dem., by LI) majority, which is an immense
gain for our side, the city going Radical by .
00 majority list fall. We :send greeting to
our Detriecratie friends, and- trust they will
rally round the flag with equal vigor in Oc
tober next. OCCASIONAL.
Another letter says: "Our recent great
ictory was'the result of a fair, straight, stand
np contest, and as over .10 Democrats were
absent from the polls,:,with a tbrawr majority
of 1 - 01 aL;;lim , t tts. is a m.Nt womh , rfol victory.
The contest was terrific. The Radicals were
attire and bitter, and take their overwhelm
ing defeat with extreme disgust, exhibiting
much of the venom divinyed by the wound
ed and captured rebel generals after the battle
of Pm Ridge. Sonic even Mem* they will
remove from the city on account of the ex
cessive copperish proclivities of so many of
our people.. Mr. Randall 11. Palmer, the
Mayot eleet,:is about 31 years of age, and
was elected without' so much as asking his
most intimate friends to vote for him,
while his opponent took an active part in th^
canvass, spent some considerable -money buy
ing Nvikiskey, with hopes of increasing his
vote ;: therefore our 'victory is made all the
more :•iatisfactory.. I learn that Union,rTitus

as if a day.of jubilee had come."

Tim noted feinale scold, Anna E. Dickin
son, delivered her lecture on "Women and
Idiots" in Farrar Hall, on Tuesday evening,
to a moderate sized audience. The Main
portion of the effort was an attempt to show
that woman is by right entitled to suffrage,
and that all she requires to render her happi
ness complete is•to give her the privilege of
taking part in politics.. Some telling pbints
were made, and among -that portion of the
audience who sympathize with her views the
lecture is greatly applauded. The larger
number of her hearers, however, went mere
ly through curiosity, and neither endorse her
doctrines nor admire her style. It is difficult
to understand where the secret of this wo
man's popularity lies. Her voice IS loud,
coarse, and exceedingly , grating, and she
scolds away in a monotonous sort of a`man
ner that in a man would be simply insupport
able. The day is not far off when many of
thbse who have .been her mast ardent ad
mirers will wonder what there was about her,
that could have Made them tolerate, much
less applaud her foolish r u ed unwomanly
twaddle,

TuF, warm weather of the past , few days
has improved the roads considerably, and,
throughout the country, they are in a com
paratively air condition. Within a few miles
of the city, owing to the character of the soil,
they are worse titan further back. We feel
assured that as soon as the traveling becomes
good, trade will assume increased activity.
Tut: credit of Crawford county is better
than that of the U. S. Government. Not
long since, the Commissioners adverOsed for
a loan of ittOq,oo') to provide inns for
building the new Court- House. Ih a few
days, it was an taken, at par, by home capi
talists. The Meadville . papers claim that
they arc to have the "finest Court House -in
the State, at a cost far below that of similar
buildings- in other localities:"
Ax unfortunate dry 'goods clerk- hands us
the following, which he says he knows to he
infallible, having learned the fact by actual
experience: "If you want to know how
scornful a pretty woman can Mel:, just let
her come down the stairs of Farrar Hall
ahead of youi - with her draws trail taking up
five of the steps between you and her, and
put your big, clumsy feet down solid, right
on the, rich, bead trimmed fabric. You'll
find out then, you bet."
AMONG the remarkable dents of modern
limes, none are more astunisliingthan the ce
lerity with which the Dispatch changed front
on the Improvement question. It started out
with n qqa44l endorsement of the "Hurd-
Pans,' but as soon as the other side appeared
to have the current in its favor becatne:one
of the most vigorous "Quick-Sand" advo
cates, winding up the campaign with an edi
torial ridiculing the former for their- niisfor
'tunes. The keenness of Our cotemporary at
scenting the popular bree'i.e has few parnl;
lels in Journalism.
THE interest attaching to the election of
•31acor and Councilmen induced the Repub
licans to undertake to steal a march upon the
Democrats by securing the nomination of
members of their party for Judge of Election
in all the districts of the city upon both tick
ets. This was Wlittle too much of 6 good
thing, and the Democrats of the Ist, 2d and
4th Districts resolved to make an attempt to
head it nit by running tiekefs of our friends
for that position. The effort was successful
in the 2d and 4th districts, and the Demo
eFirs-Of those localities have reason to con
gratulate themselves upon the same.
THE Clearfield Republican thinks the De

Was chosen delegate at large to the Nation

was chosen elector, and Hon. Win. L. Scott,
of the stone county, and Hon. Byron D. Ham

' THE ice on the bay has entirely disaPpear
-ed, and preparatidns are being made for the
opening of navigation. The upper end of
the lake is also clear, the ice having been
driven to the southern and eastern portions,
,where it floats in huge masses, tossed about
lat the mercy of the winds and waves. Sever
al vessels have started upon trips on' the up
per lakes, but the navigation is too risky to
undertake the same experiment on lake Erie.
If .the warm weather continues, it is alto
'gether likely that the lalie will be clear
enough at this point, within 'a .week or two,
to enable vessels to enter and depart from
our harbor tbr the upper lakes with Out seri
ous difficulty.
}'on the tirst time in the history of the
the place, the'Democrats of Titusville elect
ed their candidate for Mayor on Friday last.
The contest was a square one on party issues,
and Henry Hinckley, the Democratic nomi
nee, came out ahead by 23 yotes. The Re
publican candidate is one of the most popu
lar men in his party, and his political friends
had not the slightest doubui of his election.
In October, 1807, the vote of Titusville was
302 Republican to 227 Democratic; this year
it is 330 Democratic and 307 Republican,
showing.that a full vote was out. The Dem
ocrats lfave increased 103 in less than six'
monthsltime, and the Republicans . 4 only;
and tit - 14, too, in the -face of the fact that the
latter lAve a vigorou4 daily paper, while the
Democracy have no local organ whatever.
Three cheers and a tiger for thegallant Dem
ocrats of Titusville. They arc deserving of
special honor for their courage and zeal.
ONE of the most noticeable events of the
day is the general tendency towards a heavy
decline in the rents of business locations. In
this city stores that rented last year for $l5OO
and $lBOO are now taken at $lOOO and $l2OO,
and owners who insist upon. the old figures
are left without bidders.. The falling off in
trade and reduction in prices has made
itim
possible for business men to pay the rates of
the few, past years, and property owners
must accept the altered circumstances of the
country, or . snake up their. minds to have
their buildings unocenPled. No candid per
solfeam.deny that in proportion - to the
,ac
comModations furnished, and the.amount of
trade transacted, the- rates of tenement
huildings; both for stores and private resi
dences, have been from ten to twenty-five
per cent higher in Erie during the last year,
than they should have been.
. WE are pleased to see in, the second luau
_
4ural address of 3laYor Noble a •suggestion
which we have several times urged upon the
attention of our citizens, and which We. be
lieve to be of.vitalimportance to the inter
ests-of qle. city. The Mayor says: -
"I would also recommend to your 'consid
eration the tilling and grit . direof State street
fromthe present pavement opt° Buffalo road,
by cutting a ehannelparallel to Freneltstreet
from the upper side of the tresslevork of the
railroad down to'whexe you would strike the
creek, and carry the dirt over sad till .the
present 4.Manntil,which is wholly in the street,
and all the street to grade. - . would also
reebmtnend :you to appoint a committee to
wait upon the railroad company and ask
them to fill the said tre,sle work mith dirt,
and build a culvert over the.creek and a
bridge over the street, a work essentially ne
cessary fur the sati:ty-of the traveling jublic
OS well as 11ir the convenience of the trade of
our pity."
The views here expressed have no less in-
Yeast for,ille residents of Erleiliaii theybave
for those of the country who are obliged to
drive their teams into the city. The clinical
ty'of crossing the railroad at present is so
great as to =seriously affect business in the
thoroughfares north of the depot, and, as the
traffic of . -the roads inereases,will grow worse,
year by year. An easy_way to obviate it is
by extending and widening State street, and
building a close bridge or culvert Over it, in
stead 'of the present - tressle work, which
would enable teams to go under the railroad
instead of over it as now'. We are confident
that the increase of trade upon State street,
would in a single year's time more than over
balance the expense necessary to , effect this
improveiment. - The railroad companies are
-pie, pryper parties to build the bridge, but if
they will nbt dolt, let the city undertake the
work at once, and trust to the Courts to de
cide who shall finally coot the bill.

system which they have adopted, and which
they claim will effect a revolution in' certain
branches of trade, is as follows; They put
Am in dollar packages every description of
