OBSERVER ERIE:PENN'A, OCTOBER 22, 1868 LARGEST CMCVLATION. The Observer has the Largest circulation of any paper in N. W. Penn'a, either Daily or Weekly'. On this point we challenge contradiction. Its etyma*. tion-entands to all places of importance . in Erie, Crawford, Warren and Venan. go comities. Notice to Inspectors. Democratic Inspectors of election are re quested to preserve a record of the 'cote on State officers in their respective districts, and compare it with the figures reported by the Return Judges, on 'Friday. , If any dis• crepancy is discovered, they will confer a favor by notifying the Chairman of the Coun ty Committee at once. They will,also, please report what number of votes were illegally rejected, with the names of parties and their claims to suffrage. Tim editor having been unexpectedly called away, our readers must exercise a lit tle patience this week. having never before undertaken tho solo charge of a paper, we ,find it rather more of a' job than we expec ted. Like the boy who would not go into the water until he had learned to swim, we will not undertake to run a weekly again un til we know how. WE would call the attention of our read ers to the to -the advertisement of Henry Beekman, in to-day's paper. Having known Henry of -old, we know whereof we speak when we say that he always makes good his promises, and we can recommend him to every one as a man worthy of confidence, and besides that, Lel has one-of the finest stocks of goods in town. WE were shoWn this morning a book en titled the People's Book ofßiography, by James Parton, and . which, from a cursory glance, we judge to be of that kind which every person should have in the family. It is sold by subscription, and Miss Hubbell, thd agent, will czll upon our citizens for their subscriptions. Proin the fact that the book is a good one, - and also that Miss Hub bell is a person who -is •well known ,to our citizens, we would advise all to subscribe at once. Ont Street. Railway is being rapidly pushed forward by the contractors, Beckwith & Welles. Mr. P. S. Gibbons, their tracklayer, informs us that they are re moving the pavement .and laying the stringers at about 500 feet per day. After the rails are laid the stone will be put back in theif places, and the' street will be the same as before with the exceptions of the. rails. Mr. Gibbons says that by the tenth of November the road will be in good running order from Ilookauld street by Second to State street, and thence up State to South street in South Erie. The interests of the city and South Erie will then be more than ever intimately connected. This is one of the im provements which Erie has so much neceed. A (loon illustration of what manufactures will do for a place, when encouraged, is afford ed by the flourishing town of Canton, Ohio, where reapers and mowers are made. When the inventor went there, a few ;rears ago, it was one of the dullest and least progressive towns in the State. lie asked for ten thou sand dollas to start a manufactory. The citizens raised and gave it to him. The fol lowing are the results of the investment: Two large manufactories of plows exclusive ly, one of stoves and hollowware, one of reapers and mowers, one of saddlery, hard ware, two of horse rakes, one of farm wag ons, one of cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges, one of soap, and others of lesser ac count. The machine Interest alone supports two thousand five hundred men. The town has trebled is population, quadrupled in wealth, besides developing a home market for farm products which is enriching farmers in the country tributary to it. Erie Comm.

THE CONSERVATINE BALANCE.-1n 1856 Mr. Buchanan was made President by a pop ular vote of 1,828,229. This was a minori ty of all the votes cast, Fremont having re ceived 1,342,165 and Fillmore 874,625. 'ln 1869-there was again n minority President, Mr. Lincoln receiving 1,866,452, Douglas 1,- :375,157, Bfeckinridge 846,053, and Bell 500,- 631, a vote which, combined, would have de feated Mr. Lincoln by nearly a million ma jority. At the last Presidential contest, with part of the States out, a change of five per cent. on all the votes cast, would have given McClellan a majority. Where parties are so nearly evenly balanced as thesetigures in dicate, it teaches to both the importance of moderation and keeping in view the common good, instead of rertising to rise above parti zan consideration. SLIGUTLV SitSTAMEN.—WhiIe "Brick" Pomeroy was addressing the mass meeting in this place, two men walked off to one side and coucludedlo take a drink, whereupon a n bottle was prodied from the pocket of one of them, and they "smiled" several times.

A YOtTNG lawyer in Chantatiquacotnity,N. Y., having beemasked to run for Congress by a committee of Radicals, declined saying: "It is true I left ray father's workshop, studied law, and have been admitted to the bar; but I firmly, though respectfully decline to take another downward step." IN October, 1859, - flour was quoted at $4.75 to $7 per barrel; butter, 20 to 25 cents per pound; sugar, 512 to 9 1.2 cents; sirloin steak, Itto 10 cents; coal, $4.25 to 4.50 per ton ; house rent, 50 per cent. below present rates. L' Democratic 'times Congress held ses sions averaging four and half months in the year, and the members received eight dollars a day when at work.

THE ten thousand Democrats in this State who staid at home on election day, hale probably learned a lesson they will not soon forget. It seems almost incredible, but we have it from reliple authority that in one township alone of this county, twenty-five Democratic voters did not appear at the polls on Tuesday. TEE designs for our new postage stamps as described are very, beautiful. The two cent stamp has for a vignette a mail carrier on horseback; the three-cent, a, mail-train under steam ; the five-cent, retains the mini ature of Washington ; the ten-cent has a copy of the signing of the Declaration,from Trum bull's painting in the rotunda of the Capitol, and the thirty-cent, a surrender scene, from the same artist, familiar to all readers of the history of the Revolution.

I Larores who are adicted to chignons, and there are few that arc not, will be deeply, if not .delightfully interested in knowing whence their adventitious hair comes. to-. tit lately, in Europe the flowing tresses, of the poorer classes were laid under tribute to adorn: and beautify their wealthy sisters. Many a poor girl sold her crowning glory to buy a meal. This source of supply seems to be exhausted, however, and dealers in human hair have resorted to more doubtful means to meet the demand. In the hospitals of Eu rope the hair of corpses is cut off and sold to the dealer who retails it at home or exports it to this country for the benefit of our belles. 246 261 315 344 92 163 189 492 A Wisconsin paper has come in possession of the following particulars of a little,Ku- Klux outrage which was recently perpetrat ed in Alabama. The boys were rather severe in their treatment of Mrs. Bagger, but she probably deserved it, and ought to thank her stars that she was not seriously hart : "A horrible outrage was commtted some where in the State of Alabama a few days ago. Our informant is a reliable colored man, who heard the particulars from a mem ber of the 'Loyal League," who got his in formation from a fellow who lost a cousin in the late war. It seems that a Mr. Carpet- Bagger was attacked tn• his own house by 2,6:4 Ku-Kluxers, armed with double bar relled bowie-knives. They slaughtered and ate nineteen of -Mr. Bag gees children before his eyes, and compelled Mrs. Bagger to cut her own head off and hang it on a hook in the cellar. She was then ordered to keep still upon pain of- instant death. She hap pened to sneeze, and the leader of the das tardly crew immediately had a threshing machine set up, and run Mrs. Bagger through. It's very doubtful if she recovers. Mr. Bag ger was then forced to swallow four tons of ~tthpowder and a handful of nitro-glycerine. blo was next dieted on live coals until an ex plosion took place, which subjected Mr. Bag ger to such intense pain as to almost deprive him of reason. • They next shot him full of holes, made him hurrah for Jefferson Davis and Horace Greeley, and finally Inoculated him with the small-pox, and soaked him with strong lye. He was threatened with instant death if he revealed the names of any of the perpetrators of this outrage, all of whom are neighbors of Mr. Bagger, and who hate him because Mr. B. was a loyal sutler and cotton speculator during the war, and now lives on a confiscated plantation, with enough niggers to elect him to the Legislature. It -is feared that Mr. Bagger has sustained such internal -injuries that he is not able to appear as a witness at the military commission appointed to try some ex-rebels for reading Democratic newspapers." 43 152 133- 3;1 137 1 N 3Lkurtvrso Ihninrowso.—The facility with which respectable women areduped in to matrimony by rascally adventurers is mar velous. An agreeable exterior, a knack of small talk and a little dexterity in the art of flattery, seems to be all that is necessary to produce an unprincipled scoundrel an unlim ited number of Wives. 'The other.day a man was arrested for bigamy in a Western city, at the suit of his sixth spouse, and it is stated that he had netted by his half dozen contra- 1 blal speculations the neat litle sum of twelve thousand dollars. Of course, one feels sorry for the victims, hut if women of respectibili - - ty will wed unknown vagabonds after a short acquaintance; people of common sense and j common prudence cannot help mingling a little contempt with their commiseration. In a matter of such vital importance to her hap-• piness as marriage, a woman ought at least to exercise as much judgment and discretion as in purchasing a dress pattern; and yet had any one of the six wives referred to, looked half as dimly into the antecedents of her suitor as we will warrant she did into the quality and style of her Wedding furbe lows, she would have been saved the mord& cation of her anomalous positionand the loss of her cash.

IT Is a foul aspeision on John Allen to say, as has been said, that -he is the wickedest man in New York. If he had deserved that appellation, the Radicals would long since have found him out and given him an office.
