for the mere "fun" of the thing, we would
state that OUP notice mean just what they
say,. and we hope to have those in. arrears
act accordingly. We cannot afford to have
so much money outstanding any longer, and,
in justice to ourself, must make an eiThrt to

We are resolved to inaugurate a system of

For the benefit of persons with treacher

Ova AFFATILTI and well meaning neighbor,
the talented and cultivated political editor of
the Republican, is disposed to "break a cour
teous lance" with us on the "provocation" we
gave in our last issue calling attention to the
fact thet, since the election, reports of Ku-
Klux outrages in the South no longer greet
the eves of the readers of las valuable col
umns. We should have no hesitation in
crossing steel with our genial opponent, if he
made the least pretension towards convict
ing us of giving currency to an erroneous
statement. He neither denies the fact asser
ted nor attempts to explain the reason why
accounts of these alleged outrages fail to ap
pear to the same extent with which they
were retailed . by the Republican press a few
weeks ago. We understand too well the
magnanimous character of our neighbor, to
think for a moment that he would be guilty
of making these charges against the good
name of the people of a large section of our
beloved country at mere, random. - But his
nature is of that susceptible and sympathetic
kind which too often allows itself to enlarge
trifling grievances into mountains of iniquity
and in the instances alluded to may it not be
that party bias has converted the mere ordi
nary disturbances of one or more communities
into a seeming disrespect for law on the part of
a whole population? We have given cloy c in
vestigation to this subject, and with the best
information we can obtain, are fully satisfied
that two-thirds of the outrages reported from
the South exist only in the imaginations of
itierested defamers, and that the people of
that section as a class are as well disposed as,
aut - corresponding number in the North or
elsewhere. It may be that the superior judg
meitt, wider experience, and clearer percep
tive faculties of our neighbor 'enable •him to
know the truth better than we do, but until
he gives us further evidence we must beg.
leave, most humbly, and politely, but firmly
and sincerely, to adhere to our opinion

Ttm 01liFIRVER is a continual 'thorn in the
side of the warring Radical faction" in this
county - . Each has warted its influence, and
finding it too independent and strongly wed
ded to its party interests to identify itself
with either side, has in turn sought to convey
tht impression that it is in sympathy with
the other wing of Radlealisur.- The Gazette
persistently represents it as , having favored
Mr. Lowry's election to the Senate Jest
Snowing all the while the falsehood of the as
sertion. 3fr.T.nwry, on the other hand, as
rigorously declaies, and witlaas little foun
dation, that we am in alliance with tho Ga
zette to oppose his aspirations. Perhaps; if
the truth were told, both parties would admit
that the- Observer's "pffending".eonsists, in
having adopted that line of policy whiCh
seemed most to the advantage of its party
cause, without regard to who of the opposi
tion liked or disliked it. We take occasion
to say now, in order to nvold misapprehen
sion in future, that whichever. faction will
afford us the best opportunity to give Radi
calism a death blow in this comity, will he
most likely to secure our co-operation.
RMLIIOAD ACCIDENT.—AbOIit twelve
o'clock on Wednesday night of last week, a
cattle train of the Buffalo and Erie Railroad,
collided with a passenger train of the New
York and Erie Railway going idto Buffalo,
about a mile from the depot, where the tracks
cross each other at almost right angles. The
locoinotive of the Buffalo and Erie train
paSsed ethirely through the baggage car of
the New York train, throwing the locomo
tive and cars entirely off the track, Robert
Decker, baggage master, had a leg -broken.
A. large number' of cattle and hogs were
killed. Mad the collision occurred one t.ecorid
later, there would have been a fearful loss of
life. The locomotive of the stock train edt
the baggage car in two pieces, passing right
through it, without either the engineer or
fireman sustaining any injury. -
ECLIPSE OP TUE SEN.—The astromuners
tell us that on the 7th of August next a total
eclipse of the sun will be visible in a part of
the United States. The eclipse will .be
partial throughout the Union, but total in
lowa, Central Illinois, Southern Indiana,
Kentucky and North "Carolina,—following
line from northwest to southeast, beginning
between four and tire p. in., and ending at
few minutes past six. The sun will be
nearly at its greatest-distance from the earth
and the moon at its least, so that the obscure :
tion will lasts longer time than usual. There
have been only two totst eclipses visible in
any large part of the United States during
the present century—those of 1506 and 1834.
Several annular eclipses have occurred, one
of the most remarkable of which New; that
of 183 sf.
Minitonic SnowEri.—We :ire in
termed, but cannot speak from personal ex
perience, that between 12 and 2 o'clock on
Saturday morning the shooting-stars began
to whisk across the heavens,making a grand
display, and affording ti splendid spectacle to
persons who were awake at that early hour.
The directiOn from which the meteors eman
ated was 041 northweKt. Many of them ap
peared to fall to,the earth's surface and then
dash into countless brilliant fragments.
While the display was progressing, a singu
lar light was observable in the Southern sky.
It was formed like an "5," and was visible
for nearly half an hour. The di=play ex
tended to all,portion.s of the country, hut was
more brilliant in some localities than-in
others, according to the nature of the
weather.
WE ARE at last officially informed why no
demonstration was made in our'eitY over the
late "glorious victory" for Grant, Colfax and
thd Washburne family. The Gazette an
nounces in all seriousness that it ,Was owing
to the "very bad weather r Ahem! ' , The

Mr. Ed ward PaiSllll Weston is . preparing
f!.r pedestrian trip from Bangor, Maine,
to St. Paul, slinn., awl back to New York, a
distruine of 5.000 miles. Its will stkrt from
Bangor at 4 p. m. on Tuesdii, bee: Ist, lid

before 4 p, m. oti the 11th of March, the lie tual
walking time being, omitting Suudays,
days. His route, as recorded in his time-table,
Ls as folio% s : From Bangor due West to
Buffalo; thence through Erie and Cleveland
to Chicago; thence to Prescott, * Where he will
cross the 3Lis.sissippi; thence up tffe river
bank to St. Paul, which city he must reach
on or before the 2911.1 of January. To make
his full distance of 5,000 miles', he will on his
return, make a detonr through Minnesota
and lon-a, and down to St. Louis, and thence
he will travel through Terre Haute, Indian
spoils, Cincinnati, Columbus, Wheeling,
Steubenville, Pittsburgh. Hollidaysburg, Har.
risburgHaltimore, and Philadelphia, to New
York. Ile will walk through 17 States, 188
counties, and VS cities and towns, and take
m 90,096 steps, all within. 100 cOnsecutive
drips. .. , •
, The trip is.io be taken at the special in
stance of Col. Dan. like, who voluntarily
proposed to secure by general contribution
a purs.e of $20,000 to remunerate the pedes
trian if the feat is accomplished within the
allotted time. If any accident resulting from
malicious injury should permanently disable
the walker, the obligation on the part of CoL
Rice is to be fulfilled. No other delays or
detentions will be allowed for. Mr. Weston
is not allowed to lay any wager upon himself,
or permit others to do so in his behalf. Re
will not be permitted to walk during Sun
(key. Eight msponsible, disinterested persons,
three of whom aro to be appointed by 'Col.
Rice, will aceompany the expedition as
judges and time keepers', sworn to impartial
ly discharge the duties of the office. One
carriage will accompany the party through
the whole distance, to which will be attached
a Prescott & Gage odometer, by which the
total number of miles shall be determined.
Proper restrictions are placed upon the
judges regarding the matter of tampering
with the odometer. Immediately previous
to crossing ferries, the pedestrian will be re
quired to walk double the distance, such dis
tance to be determined by the ferryman, sub
ject to the approval of the judges—it being
understood that such distance or distances
shall net he included, or allowed for in com
puting the distance of five thousand miles.
A. majority of the judges will settle all ques
tions with reference to the journey, arising
during the prosecution thereof. all expenses
are to be borne by Mr. Weston. Col. - .Riee
says : "In making the above proposition I
am governed by two motives—first, to be the
bumble instrumentality of rewarding you
for a display of physical and moral courage
in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles
and most cruel and nude:erred suspicions
and criticism ; secondly, to foster and en
courage a taste tar pedestrinnism,made re

The Dispatch's,allasion to size reminds us
of a story which may be. applicable to our
eotemporary or may not be, according to the
the taste of the public, which - we leave to
judge for itself. A talented young African
of the boot black persuasion, while dancing
like St. Vitus over a customer's boots one
day, observed'a neighbor poring wisely over
a newspaper, whereupon he addressed him
thus: "Julius, what dc debit you• looking
over dat paper fur? You can't read:' "Go

"Guess I can read. I'so big fluff for dat."

Tice GAZETTE of last week contains a
three and a half column editorial in reply to
Lowry's letter of the week previous, in which
his' political tergiversations are shdivn up
with a choiceness of epithet and keenness of
relish seldom surpassed. In Wednesday's
Repbblican the Senator replies with a column
and a half article, which he promises to fol
low with another on Thursday. As might
he expected, it is rich and racy in its charges,
with an originality of expression that adds
to the flavor. Both sides are stripped to the
elbows, and resolved upon a life and death
struggle. Each has adopted the watch-word
of "no quarter," and woe he to the unlucky
"warrior that stops to take breath, nr betrays
a symptom of cowardice.
"The combat deepeng; on ye brave
Who vo=h to glory or the grave."
Mit.'Lownv's mentery is of that forgetful
kind which needs fregnent jogging. to keep
it up to the line of strict veracity. In Wen
riesday'a Republican, lip again reiterates, for
something like the fiftieth time, his imagina
tive story of an pntside party who controls
the columns of this paper. We trust he will
give as no further occasion for tidling him
that the only person who has any interest in
the Observer office, or in any manner directs
the course of the paper. i, the oni whop,
name appears as editor and proprietor.; It
will be an intere.sting piece, or news for the/
gentleman to whom he refers to know that
his "command" has shaped our course in any
way whatever, as we hare often widely difT

more than-with regard to Mr. Lowry him

having a reenter course, - but a ill junitsh oc
casional lecturers, as the opportunity offers
to employ speakers of a "drawing" capacity.
Our experience of lecturers leads to the Im
pression that, as a general !hag, those of the
most merit are the least appreciated, while
the brawling declaimers who have reached
'notoriety by the unscmpulousness with which
they pander to the humbugs of the times, are
the ones who.securethe most profitabld au&

by self interest to employ those who will real•

whole system has become perverted from its
original' object of instructing the people.

Nor•A few persons are disturbed by ru

tical reasons, and is one of the best speci

• iFroto the Estate Record.?
Pending the Presi ential election it Would
not have been prope for a purely, business
journal like the Real Estate Record to have
said anything that could have been used for
partisan erect ;, but, now that Grant is, be
yond all peradventure, to be our next Presi
dent, there can be no impropriety in our
speculating as to the, future course of the real
estate market due to' that event. '
P A return to specie payment t is we think,
inevitable before his term of offiee expires.
Senator Sumner, who is a power in theparty,
predicts specie payments by the next 4th of
July, but this is hardly possible. The fall in
gold, however, shows that Wall• street has
no faith in the present paper inflation. ,
Then, again, it is clear that the election
also settles the question as to the payment of
United States bonds in gold: Nor will there
be any attempt to tax these bonds.
Now, What will be the obvious effect of
these two significant facts, viz : the payment
of the bonds in gold when due, and an early
return to specie payment.
In - the first place, it is evident that Gov
ernment bonds will at once become the most
• favorite investment in the country. Their
security, the fact that they must advance in
value, and the very high rate of interest they
will bear for many years to come, will cause
a competition for them which will take mon
ey out of nearly every productive enterprise.
This tendency, with gold constantly falling,
will, for a time, make general business not
only , dull, but there will be financial panics ;
the first and most serious of which will be
the stock market. The past seven years has
seen a steady advance in real estate,which is
now double the price, at last in this city,
what it was at that Clad. The next four
years will see a considerable part of this
iad
vance lost. We shall hav ' money panics as
the shrinkage of value g on ; them will be
forced sales of real estate and lower prices
all around. In short, the arket, from this
time forth, will be abe one—the buyers
will have• the advantage.
These speculations on'the future are not of
a cheerful character, and there will be plenty
•of sangnine gentlemen to dispute them, es
pecially If in addition to being hopeful they
have a large amount of property., to sell at
high prices ; but the future will tell its own
story.

Fon Tut past few days, the Radical Jou r .
naffs have been boasting of a decrea:so of the
national debt during the month of 'October.
The reported decrease of the debt Is another
piece of deception on the part of thoßadicals.
They are "robbing Peter to pay Panl"—bor.
rowing from November to give to October.
The case is thus explained by the Phila-
delphia Evening Herald of Saturday :
'This morning the Journal printed the Oc
tober statement of the debt. On the face it
would appear that the debt had been reduced
$7,514,188 13, the sum total being $2,527,129-
552,82, but the real fact is that the debt has
actually , been increased at least 20,000,000.
On the day the statement beam date, $30,000,-
000 ofcoin for interest due was included In
the Treasury balance. Thus the people are
lulled to apathy while their load is increased."
