During the past week the most . d t eplora l
•ble reports have been received from the dis
tricts of the south stricken by the yellow
feier: , The appeals for aid for Shreveport
have _ bOn generously responded to, and n
late dispatch front New Orleans says that
no more money is needed. The epidemic
tots abated somewhat in extent:but the ratio
of.,deatlis to cases is as great'l.se+. Mem
.phis, Natchez and Mobile are now added to
the roll of afflicted cities.
The country wtis interested but not much
surprised last Friday by the news that the
remainder of the cress; of the arctic explor
ing steelier Polaris had been picked up by
a limier and brought to Dundee, Scotland.
The men were picked up on the 20th of last
July twenty miles north of Cape York by
tlie,whaler Ravenscraig of Dundee. They
wire at the time in boatsrconstructed from
the bulwarks of the POlaris. The men
thus rescued have been ordered home imme
diately by the Government, and every mys
tery conueeted with the ill-fated Polaris will
soon be solved. •
The Financial
The country wr startled last Thursday
by the announce lent that Jay Cooke it Co.
hadfailed. That become so well
known as the flainciali agents of the Gov
ernment during the late war that the news
of the disaster Ica e with something of
i l
A
personal shock to any who never had even ,
the slightest burin ss connection with them.
Naturally, the sti pension of that great
house has tarried down other concerns of
less note, just . as the 'sinking of a large ship
Ingalls smaller vessels lying near. As a
matter of course, Wall street has been in a
frenzy-of excitement, and ip to this writ
ing the panichas hardly abated. Railroad
stock's and bonds have depreciated fearfully
i i
in value and many people of moderate
means w o have invested in those securities
will find themselves badly crippled, while
many of those who have purchased for
speculative purposes will be completely
-.,
swamped.
• As was to be expected, a call has already
been made upon the Government for aid in
this extremity. The President and Secre
tary of the Treasury were in New York last
Sunday, when the demand was made by
some of the leading bankers and brokers
that the Whole legal reserve of the Treasu
ry, amounting to $44,000,000, should be
placed at the service of the New York
banks. We are glad to say that this re
quest was not complied with. The Presi
dent &Tressed his anxiety to do all he could
to relieve the financial embarrassment and
prevent 4isaster, but said he must -conform
to the Constitution—an answer not very
like a Ctesar, to say the least. It was finally
resolved to advertise for an unlimited
amount of five-twenty and other bonds to
'be paid for at par in gold.
severe as the crash is, it is not without its
hopeful features. - The failures, so far, have
baericonfined to houses involved more or
lessi in railroad speulatioUs. The legiti
,mate business of the country is in a health
ful and hopeful condition, and it is believed
the storm will pass without shaking houses :
that have not dabbled in the railroads of
the future. The fall trade has opened mast.
- promisingly, the crops are'short in Europe,
and there will be a consequent -demand for
inn surplus products abroad,' end the peo
ple of the hole land, except the gold and
stock gattitilere, are actively engaged in le
gitinnito industry. it by true that
any monetary derangement in New York
must to some extent affect the markets of'
the whole commercial world, the evident
feelitig,of con fi dence in other business cen
ters s l ows that there is little danger of a ,
geriertil l panie such as the country witnes@ed
in 1'847 land 1857.

"To be or not to be." I have learned
that the politicians _of Troy and vicinity
have defeated the only real foe to cutting
up Bradford county—B. S. Dartv---and put
in nomination fqr Assembly in his place
James Webb, o il Sm4hfield. What does
this mean? ,Clearly and beyond question
that the politicians of western Bradford
Lave decided tor dispose . of "Minnequa
county" by organizing 'ln its stead a Troy
county, "with Jackson, Rutland, Sullikan,
Ward, and Union from this county, and the
western part of Bradford, with Troy for its
center and seat of justice.
_Shall this succeed? Shall we lose our;
whole.eastern tier to - gratify the ambition of
this new set of neiv-eounty men? This is
the question. If Webb should be.elecled
there can be no - doubt, of its Significance.—
Tho whole western tier .of Bradford sup

It itideubtless well known io 'your yead
ers,thatnearly- one-third
_of the population
of WaShington is colored. The-civil rights
act has affected the people here more than
anywhere else in the Union, and . in - conse
quence hotels and other places for the ste- •
commodation of the public are sorely grieved
to be compelled to entertain, without a
discretion on their part, whoever may app ly,
and any disposition' shown to disiregard the
law in' the premises subjects the Violator of
the statute to severe penalty. The execu
tion of this law affects more directly restau
rant keepers, who are disposed to spend
their oney and devote attention, like other
business men, to things " where it will do
the most good." Immediately after the act
was.passed, nearly a year and a half sine^
in this city, directly under the eye: , ;
trot of Congress, the virtue of ":
to be tested—as was the negro :1
long before. To this end colored 1.e.,111
were persuaded to 'go to first Chi,. 1 ,...tau.
rants and'demend the same attention as was
given to Whites,' and they ( would step up
. to,
dto 'bar alongside of 'wlkites and -itsk for
inks; and in one or two instances,the pro
prietor (fearing the penalty of the law) com
plied with their demands and charged tliem
a dollar a drink, The Legislature of 'the
District, in order to protect the colored peo
ple from such abuses, enacted a law com
pelling every restaurant keeper to post be
hind his bar the prices of the different kinds
of drinks, so that there would be no dis
criinination, on account of color or condi
tion, in the price charged. The keepers
-toon discovered that this injunction upon
them could be easily dodged, and accord;
ingly, in complying with the requirements
of the law by posting up price lists, they
added the following:: "Reasonable reduc :
tton made from the above prices to regular
customers." This dodge worked very well
for a time among the colored element; but'
finally they opened (upon them again, and
In several instances they were refused, where
upon a test case wl47imide in court and the
Judge decided that he proprietor should be
allowed diseretionaiy powers, and when lie
discovered any one intoxicated Vie should, in
every instance, refuse him intoxicating
drinks. It is not necessary to • say that the
proprietor of every first-class saloon yi
Washington considers every colored person
who applies for drinks intoxicated. This is
certainly a kindness to the colored man, but
rather hard on civil rights. With all theSe
discriminations against the rights of the ne
gro here, lie is daily becoming more and
more in favor with his persecutors, 'especial
ly at this time when the election of mem
bers to the Legiflature is so near at hand.
The inauguration of Hon. A. R Shep
herd yesterday passed off very quietly. 2---
Only a few were present, principally officials
of the District.
Our Criminal Court resumed its • session
yesterday, with a docket full of cases.—
Judge Alcilrthur, the Judge presiding, will
convene the court each day ato a. m. in
stead of 11. 'There are nine mirder trials,
a larger number then at an' one session be-
fore in the District. One would suppose
that the four executions in the last year
would have lessened the number of these
crimes. .
The offices of the next Congress are be
ing eagerly sought after. There seems, as
yet,but little use of making an effort to
prevent the re-election of Speaker Blaine.
The Southern members, who have all along
cliimed the Speakership, and to that. end,
put forward' Horace Maynard, whom they
have considered their strongest man; will
make no fight.
" The Bnreau:of Education is just inreceipt
of a seciand package of reports, and cata
logues of veterinary books sent them froth
France by Gen. Eaton, the Commissioner of
that Bureau. The information obtained
from these, it is anticipated, will be used to
good advantage 10.rnaking up his next an
nual report which must, be of interest to
every horse-0 'Wrier in our country.
The Long investigating committee of the
District' Legislature has nearly completed
ifs labors in investigating the conduct of _our
magistrates an di constables. It lias devel
oped the fact that exorbitant illegal' feei
have been chArged the unfortunate poor peo
ple of Washington in nearly every instance
where they haVe become defendants in suits.
Illegal seizures of the household goods of
poor men unable to pay theirirents have
been made, mid their families turned into
the streets. ' Several of these persecutors
will have their eases presented before _the
Grand Jury_for action.
The out-of -tow( n papers are - sending around
an item to the effect that the great mer
chant-millionaire, A. T. Stewart, in the face
of Prof. Elliott's diatribe against th 6 idea
of_ a "National University," in fact us well
as in name, being established here, had
made up his mind to endow the " National
University of ' Washington, D. 0., to the be
neficent extent of one million of dollars:' ,
It turned out that it was the y Howard'Uni
veraitY," and not the "National Universi
ty," so called, that was the fortunate, insti
tution.
Thus is a vision of the' future made to
vanish from the day dreams of our people,
who fain would have beheld a Brie edifice
spring up here to take the place of the 12
by 20 shanty on Fifth street, Wherein law
yers have beeri ground out by the score for
several years past. But we are thankful to
know that by the dale at auetion and conse

which Kansas is noted; but when they shall

"Italy of America." lt
,w ill be eiglA years
next month since I left the beautiful village
of Wellsboro, and I 'Uwe got.- to - visit that
city or town thatl could be so well con
tented in as Atchison. Most of the Missou
ri river towns, including Atchison, are built
among bluffs. Leavenworth, perhaps, 'has
the best site on the river. This city is ex
pending thousands of dollars annually in
grading its streets and cutting away the
bluffs, The most -desirable lots for resi
dence in Atchison are en the bluffs, and
many of them command in the neighbor.
hood of $l,OOO to $1,200 apiece.
Our big Fair closed on Saturday, last. It
was a success in every partieelai r ' Thou
sands of people visited it every day, and all
testified that' the display of horses, 'cattle,
hogs, agricultural- implements, fruit, etc.,
was the largest and finest they had ever
„seen in - the Missouri valley. People were
, here from many Eastern States,) and all
were surprised to see such a fine dblplay of
stock and fruit. With thereiception, of an
accident on Wednesday, when a troy was
killed in one of the races, every thing
off pleasantly. This was the fourth Fair
the society has had, and the only one where
it was pleasant throughout. I doubt wheth
er the other Fairs that are to follow will
prove as successful as the Atchison Fair.—
Your correspondent will visit the St. Jo
seph Exposition, and-should anything turn
up that will be of interest to your readers,
they Will be informed of it in due time.
'Atchison having carried her bridge bonds
almost without a dissenting voice, sub-con
tracts were let yesterday, and the work of
building the east embankment was begun
to-day. The work of quarrying atone for
the piers will be commenced immediately;
and the American Bridge - Company agree
in tlie contract to build one of the fine?.
bridges over the river at this point inside of
one year. This is good news, and our citi
zens ate all fkling jubilant. Real estate is
gradually adyancing, and now is the time
for capitalists to invest their money, for it
will certainly double—almost in the next six
months. Tell your readers that there is not
a more promising or prosperous city in the
whole West- than is Atchison, and should
any of them desire to locate in the West, I
would advise them to come to Atchison
first and see - what they can do.
Business was never more brisk than at
the present time; money has perhaps been
more plenty, but our business men say they
have never a season in the history of
Atchison when business was more brisk.—
Immense stocks - of fall goods are arriving
daily, and our merchants predict a - busy fall
and. winter with them. Atchison . needs
'more - wholesale houses. 'A , wholes - ale dry
goods store has long been needed, and seve
ral-other wholesale establishments of • vari
ous kinds could soon build up a paying
trade. In the fall of 'O5, I Pelleve, when
the Overland Stage Line . was transferred
from here to anotherl Mien, many of- the
se
"-croakers" predicted] that our then flour
ishing city would die "-natural death. But
not so, as every one will testify who saw the
city at that time and seed it now: ' Atchison
was never more prosperous' than she is to
day, and her prosperity will 'continue from
this time. 1 ... •
The Massasoit HouSe, the first hotel erect
ed in this city—in 1858—was, burned . down
three weeks ago to-day. It was the most
noted hotel on the river, and was also one
of the oldest landmarks of Atchison. When
Atchison was the starting point for Butter
fieldta overland coaches and also for .the
" Pony Express" for Colorado and Califor
nia, the Massasoit was their headquarters:—
In 1859 Abraham Lineold was its guest, and
later, in 1865, Vice President Colfax. Many
Tioga county boys have - feasted under its
roof, and some of them will read this item
with regret.
Our city has long been in need of a steam
tire engine, and the Council last night took
action upon the matter and ordered one. .
-Quite a little commotion was created here
and in Leavenworth the foie part of -the
week between-the different railroad compa
nies in cutting down on each other's fare to
the East. On two of the roads / the fare was
put down to s3—good -for sixty days—to In
dianapolis and return and many citizens
availed themselves of the opportunity by
purchasing tickets to Indianapolis to visit
their big Exposition the latter part of this
month. The railroad companies have lost
thousands of dollars by this transaction.—
They finally compromised, and 'are-now'
'selling tickets at the old 'prices_
. The farmers' movement is absorbing - quite
as much 'attention in Kansas as in most parts
of the West. A State - Association 'was
formed last spring, and hail had tWo;meet ,
ings, which were attended . by' 'delegates
from all parts of the State; ainonir,Whem
were many-who were or had beet; 2 leading

there is such en organization 'in 'active ex..'
istertce. This aasociation,: as -do Others- in
some of the counties, propose this fall _to

In the wrong direction; • the peril to the pu
rity of the Government lies not in higli'mn
bitions but in low dishonesties; it conies not
from men-who " think of doing grcatthings
for glory, but from men who thing Otdoing,
mean things for profit." ,
Our patty, then, which is strong in its re-'
cent majorities, strong in the memories of
the heroic time so lately passtid, stroeg• in
many a Senator and Representative ;who
bears about him no odor of suspicion, end
strong in pits President who stands the hard
test remarkably well, has the weakness
which comes from its prolonged years, from'
many of its former, issues now recetlink 7 -
from vicesfirst nursed unwittingly and then
tolerated Unwillingly, from the possibilities
of diversions in a general curiosity fors new
agitations and new departures; fromothe
suspicions cherished- by a stern and just
people that where there Is so much smoke
of investigatiim there must be some fire of
truth. And now is the hour, nor one hour
too soon, to arrest the tendencies and , cor
rect the abuses wherever they may he found.
Let us not be found in the same order of
time with the great Cardinal, who, after the
discovery of his deceptions upon his sover
eign and his misuse of the public moneys,
and after his own downfall, bitterly ex
claimed that "corruption *ins not more
than honesty."
And now, fellow citizens and RePubil4
cans, are there no signs of the times—from
California, from new names and new organ
izations in the West, from the reports which
come to us, from our own instincts and' id
tuitions as to what is going onin distant
fields of canvassing—arc there no signs vis
ible to the Republicans of this State and of
till the States that if we would continue our
power for public good we must rise to the
exigency of the occasion? I allude to no
technical method of civil service reform, so
called, for in my humble opinion it is but a
doubtful, certainly only a partial, remedy—
good enough for a political demand by one
party and a political promise by another
party in a Presidential election, good enough
for a commission to sit upon, but limited at
best, liable to evasions and inadequate for a
national disease. It relates to capacity more
than to fitness. education furnishes capa
city, but integrity must be added fir fit;
ness. No, the conscience, the determina
tion; the action of the par ty, must riktb - a
general and unqualified demand• for purifi
cation in all the offices and in all the prac
tices of the government service. We must
not be behind Germany. or France, or Great
Britain, in each of which during the year a
whole empire has been in motion over a sin
gle instance of accusation of undue perseri
al gain from a public, trust. Our necessity
is greater than theirs, for the life of u
re
publican government is in its administration
according to virtue. The 'country will
scarcely be satisfied by . convention 'retain ;
tions—things which have beerrand must be.
The people.of the country, the Republicans
of the country, will receive the resolutions,
as they go forth from one convention, after
another, with something like the poet's
greeting: ,
" • ' well said again,
"And Ile a kind of good deed to nay. well;
And yot words are no-deeds,"
Let us rather inaugurate an era of con
duct and action and of persistent insistence
for official singleness and purity of every
man connected with the Government, thigh,
or low; as far ris he can be folloived.' The
people will enforFo the demand, and if they
cannot find a way open they will make one.
Fortunate for the Republicalipartyiwhich is
now, responsible for the government of this
country, if it shall appreciate the situation;
felicitous the Plot of the President, if be
shall make the 'order sound through every
department and over every head that sleeps
upon one of his commissions. Then he will
be stronger than, before. So the people - of
Great Britain, after years of corruption un
der Walpole—not so much' his fault nal the
fault of his time—rallied in a spirit of per
sonal de - Votion to the uprieht Chatbain,
whose exaltation in the• hearts of English
men and in the judgment of history has
rested on the belief that, ho was, above all
his compeers of that age, the representative
Premier of honoi and honesty in the public
service. May our President win a fame as
stainless.
A Drifting Party.
The Democratic party is aimlessly, hope
lessly drifting. It is evident to every ob
server that the managers are at a loss - to
know what to do, and whither to point it.—
As the campaigns of the approach and
the unavoidable necessity of taking „a defi
nite position presents itself, they are forced
to say something. But they do not exhibit
any clear
• perception of a well-defined poli
cy, or display any capacity for marking tint
a positive and well-considered course. .They
are everywhere fighting a dull, hap-hazard,
desultofysort of beide, as .if they had no
intelligible object and no glimmer of hope.
For the past few years the Democracy
have been seeking to escape from the odium
of their dark record during the war and re
construction. They have been hoping to
make the people forget their persistent hos-.
liiityto every measure for the restoration of
the Union and to every safeguard for its fu
ture security. They• have - declared thai a
new era was here, ana,that they fully ac
cepted its spirit and settlements,: puttiithe
dead past forever behind them. -
professions they entered upon the last Pres
idential campaign, but they could devise no
better method of expressing such a purpose.

evident from the beginning. As nobody
