after having been there for »150 years. Again,

WITH the return of good times af
ter a period of depression, a rise in prices is
naturally to be expected. The possession of
money lias a tendency to induce |>eop"e to buy
goods which they managed, sometimes at con
siderable inconvenience, so do without in the
days of slim or empty pockets. A full pock
et-book is al«o a strong inducement to supply
a hundred and one things which one could
well dispense with in the aiisence of so wel
come a persuader. All this increases the
demand, while the fa<*ilities for increasing the
supply are more slowly brought into full ope
ration'. and in the meanwhile, according to the
inevitable principles of trade, prices must go
up. Then again, timid capital gets bold iu
good time, and undertakes many new works,
thus adding to the general pn -peritv. and
especially to the prices of the commodities it
chiefly use* in these undertakings.

THE desire to get rich by some
short and easy method leads many foolish Jieo
ple to risk their money ill all sorts of hair
brained venture.-, on the bare recommendation
of interested parties, of whose real character
thev are utterly ignorant. Of this propensity
keen-witted rogues are only too ready to take
advantage to further their own fortunes. A
notable example of this is afforded by th- re
cent exposure of the swindling operations of a
notorious "confidence ma:i" named Buckwalter,
who, under the names of "Lawrence it (. 0., '
"Adams, Brown is C 0.," "Allen, Jordon <fc
C 0.," and several other u/iosej, pretended to
carry on a legitimate banking and brokerage
business on a new, safe and uucomir >;ily prof
itable syttem. The plan of operation con
sisted simply in advertising widely, especially
in country papers, for money to lie used in a
grand combination stock speculation, and then
coolly pocketing the in mey received. That,
so far as the most diligent inquiry has been
able to discover, is all th?re was of it.

IT is always creditable to be paving
public debt when its payment is due; but it is
foolish and suicidal policy that reduced the
debt of Pennsylvania -rl, during the
last year when creditors did not want their
money and our public schools and many chari
ties w'ere denied their appropriations for want
of funds. The debt of the is now but a
nominal debt for so great a Commonwealth,
and obedience to the constitutional provision
requiring the payment of not less than a
quarter of a million each year, i« all that
should be done in reducing it, while the schools
and charities are unprovided l'or. The partisan
madness that has bankrupted the general
Treasury to fill the Sinking Fund with un
needed millions, is exhibited afresh in nearly
two millions of arrears to our most worthy bene
ficiaries, the payment of over a ui'llion and a
half of debt that nobody wanted paid, and an
idle balance of $1,202,373.1 H in the .Sinking
Fund of a Treasury whose warrants are dis

THERE is likely to be another Mollic
Maguire hanging bee. One Curly, who has
been a fugitive from justice for some time,
under the charge of having committed a Mollic
Maguire murder in has given himself up

has damaging information concerning a num
ber of other gentry iu the neighborhood, who
have escaped hanging so far for wani of proof
against them, and that h ■ will turn State's
evidence. How grest is tin: fear of him may
be judged from Ihe fact that an attempt to
assassinate him was made in the presence of a
magistrate l»efore whom he was having a hear
ing. If Curley or any other man can give
evidence that will lead to the conviction of all
the miscreants who were engaged in this mur

BOTH branches of the Maine Legis

held aloof with the other Ueptihlicau members
and the two or three Fusionlsts who had con
scientious scruples about availing themselves
of their certificates, the House could not have

IT appears by a letter from Wash
ington printed in the columns of the New
York Tint'*, the leading Republican paper in
the United States, that Mr. Cameron has ap
pointed a sub-coinsnittee of three to act with
himself and the Secretary in making all the
local arrangements f»r the holding of ihe Con
vention iu Chicago, and that he has assumed
to place in the hands of this sub-committee the
distribution of tickets by which S|H-C tutors will
be adniitt •I to Ihe > onventioii. of course this
means lhat the hall where th< Convention is
held will be packed with nhouters and bullies
to shout and figlit for Grant. Mr. James P.
Hoot, of Chicago, the member of the National
Republican Com:uiltce for the Stale of Illinois,
raises up his voice in protest against such an
arbitrary exercise of so iinjiortunt a power by
Chairmaii'Senator Hon Cameron. Sir. Boot
very properly maintains that the tickets to
admit spectators to the hall should be distrib
uted among the several State delegations to the
Convention. "The Convention and hall," he
says, "belong to the delegates; and if they are
allowed to distribute the tickets to their
constituents, the a-peet of the meeting will
become national instead of local." An 1 he
significantly adds that "''«// ell m/tf b/ thr tub

\ for or ag 'in*! an// /« n-li -nl.ir ><•mliihite Hon hi
r'tnio b t'lfir/iii'i »«"' yrat 'fix- tinfliction." It
is evident that Mr. Boot and Mr. Cameron are
after two different things : the one wants a
Convention which shall be an exponent of the
popular scntitn-rit of his party; while thc
othcr only desires a formal ratification of the
nomination already determined upon by the
Third Termers. The Chairman oi a National
Committee should be some person other than a
United States Senator.

THE news from Washington indi
cates that the Grant boom is Abating, and that
Sherman an I Biainc are bo h gaining strength
rapidly with the |ieople. It is quite clear that
Gen. Grant cannot br renominated without a
very sharp contest, as both Sherman and Blaine
are desirous of l»-mg candidates for the Presi
dency, and their friends are numerous and
powerful. Under these circumstance* it is
Relieved that Geo. Grant will decline wiioilv
to enter into any scramble for the nominstiou,
or permit his friends to do so. There is a
growing feeling that a third term is a viola
tion of the lnw of the laud, that no such
exigency has been reached in this country
that only one man can save it, and he a mili
itary hero. To admit that Gen. Grant is the
tnlv nrtuj now living in the Republican partv
to whom we can turu for safety, or to whom
we can trust the helm of Government, is to
admit that we have but little confidence in tin
stability of our institutions, or their power for
the protection and security of the people. We
believe whenever the time comes that this Na
tion must depeuil on a:iv one man to save it,
shelter its institutions from destruction, or
liberty from being sacrificed, that the end of
I free govermni-ut will be elu- at band, and the
American Republic will become a thinu of the
past. We place our faith in free institutions
in the people themselves. We believe they
and they only be tru.- cd to protect, pre
serve, and defend this Nation and transmit its
priceless blessings to the generations yet to
follow. The country is rich in great men.
i:ood men, wise men, statesmen, who if selected
' by the people to rule over them, would rule
I prudently, safely, with enlighteue 1 intelligence,
1 and enlarged patriotism. To sav we have but
| oue man who can safely take the helm of this
Government, is to sav we are bankrupt not
only in the faith of our fathers, but in ail that
makes our Government worth preserving.—

ceiving the approval of Senator Cam
eron.
ASCIIBISQOP WILLIAMS, of Boston,
as reported in The Pilot of that city,
takes a ground in regard to the school
question of which no Protestant oug-ht
to complain. He believes in Catholic
parochial schools, and would have them
established wherever it is practicable
to do so. He prefers this system for
the education of Catholic children, and
desires and strongly recommends that
Catholic parents should use it, rather
than the public school, whe~e Catholi
cism is taught. Uut he does not believe
in forbidding Catholics to use the pub
lic school if they choose, or in withold
ing from them the sacraments of the
Church if they see fit to do so. Hence,
he does not sustain tho position of
Father Scully on this subject. Such
being the views of Archbishop Wil
liams, we see no occasion for any con
troversy in regard to the matter, any
more than if similar views were held
by a Protestant bishop. The State
makes no war upon sectarian parochial
schools and does not forbid them. It
simply supplies the public school as a
political necessary, in order to attain
good government, and does not propose
to teach the dogmas of religious sects.
If, however, these sects, one or more,
Catholic or Protestant, prefer to have
parochial schools, and secure religious
and secular instruction therein at the
same time, then let them do so, pro
vided always that they choose to pay
their own bills. This is their privilege,
and whether they shall exercise it or
not is for them to determine. The one
thing upon which the State must and
will insist is that the public schools
shall not be used in the interest of any
religious sect. It Ix'lontjs to the people,
as such, and is paid by them.
"You Don't Know Their Value."
"They cured me of Ague, liiliiousness and
Kidney Complaint, as recommended. I had a
half bottle left which 1 used for my two little
girls, whom the doctors and neighbors said
could not be cured. lam confident I should
have lost both of them one if I had not
had the Hop Hitters in inv house to use. 1
found they <lid them so much good I continued
