Tun Senrso ELECTIONS Anorasuno,--Tha
bill introduced by Mr. Lowry, to change the
time of holding the township, borough and
city elections in this county, heretoffife occur
ring in March, to the same day as the State
election, in October, has passed both branches'
of the Legislature, and , only wants the Gov
ernor's signature, which it will undoubtedly,
receive, to become,a tali. The act provides
that the various local officers chosen' ast
spring shall hold Over until fall, when their
successors will be chosen—thus doing away
with the-necessity of holding elections this
month. What advantage is to be gained by
the policy of holding all our elections - on the
same day it would puzzle the Senator • him
.self to explain. By changing the time for
choosing our local officers to October, every
thing is made Whinge upon ptlity issues, and
there is less likelihood of an 'efficient set of
officers being selected than under the old sys s
tem. The designed to give the Repnb

effloir of instances in *hi& wellieeant
kiminksee l have been repaid with the coldest
ingratitude, and in this case—alas, for poor
human nature—it dials that we are 'to be I
compelled to add another to the list.
The Gazette of bit week saw- proper to
quote our friendly paragraph, and, for per

effect that fir, Sloan, •besides being political'
and local editor of the Rapid:Mean, hai also

the exact use to nide?, i 6 is put,"
Now,"here iinyetery beyond conowehen
.sion. Row can it be that a paragraph so in
nocent and truthful in itself should lead to=
such a sinister insinuation ? Certainly the
mere circumstance' of the Gazettes having
mode use of it to promote some factions 'pur
poe does not detract from its original inten
tion. But, hold—perhaps there is something
"behind the stenes",that did not occur to us
before ! • Onr amiable friend, it must be roe :

perheads" regarded by some as the incarna
tion of all that is "coppery" in Erie. Can it
be possible that he has not yet become
blunted to the inconsistency of his present
position, and wanted it kept secret from his
old party friends? Does he still hope to re
fain his Democratic felloWship while engaged
in, doing his best to defeat 'Democratic- prin
ciptes? 'Mine still,-bas he concluded to be
cinite ,a "full fledged", "goose" of the Radi

misgivings among his new associates ?

Whatever it may be, we are pained and
over the thOught of having -given
offence to So tleyer a friend, and hasteCto

very precious," but - we will, take ettpicial
pains 'to contradict the statement that Mr.

one "older coon thin the rest .was beard

,TuR. titlzette,:sPeaking of the contitarative

"for-the"object of
,spreading the information
to the, hest adfanfage, the Gazette and Oh
server ere Tar better mediums, even in our
city than either or both of !fie dailies."
The dully - Republican, in commenting-upon
this statement, intimates that it is not true,
and remarks, in a Pickwiekian vein, that'"if
true," It "would be highly complimentary to
the enterprise and business character of the
people of Erie." Whether "complimentary"
or not, the people themselves, ns disinter
ested kidges of the merits of th6iejenti pa
pers, are best capable• of decidineand their
verdict does' not appear to sustain the self
important airs of our cynical cotecuporary.
'At any rate, it is a Well known 'fact la the
printing offices that both the Observer and
Gazette far exceed in circulation either of
the dailies, and we have reason to believe
that the circulation of the 'Observer in the
city aloud-is considerably larger_ than the
whole subscription list of the daily 'Republi
can.
CILAWFORri Cowry ParEns.—The Titus
ville Herald modestly, claims a circulation
exceeding that of the combined six other
journals in Crawford county. The 'Meadville
Republican characterizes this as the biggest
"lie" story that has reached it for many a day,
and says it is reliably informed that the com
bined circalation of the Daily and Weekly
.Herald only amounts to 1,090-1,000 for the
daily and 000 for the weekly. The Republi
can claims a daily and weekly circulation of
2,000 alone, and gives thatlf the four Other
newspapers as follows: Crawford dournal,

SENATOWLOWRY, alias "John Jones," alias
"M. Bryo," alins'"John Jones & C 0.," is of
"the opinion that the interest of the people of
the district would be to V*o M. Scofield
`.'where he is as long as he will stay." In
plainer language, during the balance of his
life, for nobody, doubts that Scofield will be
willing tostay in Ccalgress the' remainder of
his years, unless n'better office is offered to
Lim. But how, Mr. SenatOr, doN this posi
tion correspond with your opinion of Sco
field last fall, and how can you reconcile it
with the understanding that Mayor Noble
waste be, the nes( candidate for Congress?
"Something is in the kind," 'surely, to ac
count air this ncyr-barn affection between
these two •leaders of
_the opposition in our
district.
Wa stENTIoN in another place that Sena
tor Lowry is one of the Republicans who
voted against the Metropolitan' police bill,
which proposed to take from the Democratic
Mayor of Philadelphia the Privilege of "choos-'
ing his own subordinates. We supposed the
Senator's'opposition to the measure arose out
of ~the conviction that it was unjust and
contrary to the public interests, and felt like
applauding him for the vote, but it seems that
we were mistaken. Through hit organ
here he gives his reasons for fighting the bill,
and they-are these: "Because he was reques
ted to ao so by tome of the hest RipUblicans
of
~Philadelphia ; and because the measure
eras allAe4 for,by the roughs of the Republi ;
katf- In- -that city 1" - The question
whether it would be a public good ,or injury
does not appear to' have -been considered
Nugh a =orient's attention.
