THE TERROR OF PEsTILENCE.

One circumstance, among the many o.

of a mortal epidemic IN city; Is thus referred
10 in the New Orleans Picayune of the 18th
ult.
the UNATTENDED lIEARsE. Among the
many scenes TO be now daily witnessed IN this
city, which excite our sympathy, awaken our
COMMUNICATION, or enlist our pity, an unat-

the grave, calls up most quickly, from the re-
cesses OF the heart, thoughts shroudcd IN sor-
row, feelings ROBBED ia regret.
Vixen wc see that one horse sombre We

feel that the inhabllant of that rough unona-
mental coffin died desolalc stranger!
But we know not how he ycd-whcther
his Journey, even from the cradle t. the grave,
was one continued pilgrimage of prlyutlon-

The possessor OF consequence, surrounded by

LIF T.

IT'S morn Nights stars are fading fas,
From ou, the boundloss blue,
And halo lights tic orient, hills
With sofi and silyery hue,
The ieatbery mist hangs DER the lake
And wells It's CLASSY floor,
Ans marks the winding rivers course,
And hides It's 'efdant shore.
Now softly signing rom the vale
Tie morning zephyr springs,
And nchly traughi with breath of flowers
IL PHYS lis gentle wings.
And LOW The dis,an, hills CLEAN out
With gal, and redn'ng peaks;
And Soils bright arrows from on high
Both mount aud valleys seek
The freshnlng breeze speeds DER the lake
And lifts the misty veil,
While slowly we unmoor our bark
And spread the snowy sail
And now the dancing waves sweep by,
Light splinging from our Prov,
And sunny hills and meadows green,
Ia beauty greet Us now.
IT'S horn:-how bright the golden sun
Casts down his arrowy rays,
As lightly DER the middle lake
Our bark speeds on lis way;
And now we pass fairy isle,
High crown'd with waving trees,
From whence there comes melody
OF birds and hum of bees.
How clear the waters open down
Beneath our fairy bark
And see the gliding silvcrfsh
Shines brightly from the dark
And then far DER the glancing waves
We see the winding shore,
And golden hills peep over hills
Til los, ia mountains boar.
And now IT'S Eve:-the'sun hath sunk
Behind tho mountains crest.
And softly iloa, the pcarly clouds
Far in the rosy west
Dark shadows stretch across the lake,
Aud veil It's smiling shores,
And sunlii robes and chrysal streams
Are darkIy cundined DER.
The dying breeze now scarcely fills
Our loosely hanging sails
"A lldng slowly o'er the deep
Our sheliring bay we hail;
Now fades the bushes oithe sun,
Nights darkling shades have come,
Ye, brightly shines the evening star
And guides US 10 our home.

JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
Judge Banks.

The nomination of this distinguished indvid-
ual, meets with hearty response from the true
Democracy of Pennsylvania As his nomna-
iion was perhaps more unanimous than that of
any candidate ever before presented to the peo-
pie of the State for their sufrages, therefore it
is hailed with more hearty delight, for it tells
10 a suffering community that man so univer
sally popular must have all the redeeming quail
tiles necessary to deliver US from the evils Of
the present imbecle administration. We're ii
our object to eulogise; we could not speak in
terms Of too high praise of Judge Banks. But
that is unnecessary, as our readers are all well
acquainted with his character. They have
heard and read of him, in his legislative ca
pacity, they have seen and judged Of him in
his Judicial station, and they know and love
him as private individual. His firm, upright
and manly course, whilst presiding over the Ju-
dicial tribunals of his District (of which this
county originally formed par) and of which
they were eye-witnesses, has given them assu-
rance that in his hands the Executive Power
might be safely deposited, without the fear Of
It's being employed for any other than legitimate
purposes. In him they behold an honest man,
The noblest work of God;"
and look forward to his election as an era for
happier times 10 our distressed Commonwealth.
The entire Democratic Press Of Pennsylvania
has also responded TO his nomination in a trulv
gratifying manner. The cohorts Of David R.
Porter are already frightened, and preparing for
a glorious defeat We have therefore but TO
persevere, be active, and remit none of our en-
ergies, and the Old Keystone State, like two
thirds of her sisters Of the Union, will be re-
deemed from the last plague-spOt of Loco-foco-
ism-and be justly proud in having such man
as John Banks 10 administer her affairs

was derdingly published in every locofoco pa

likewise defaulter for some hundred thous-

to be turned out of the party, for having in obe-
dience to orders, used the public funds for
electioneering purposes, under the expectation
that Van Buren, would be reelected, and the
deficiency concealed? Let Mr. Hoyt come
out with fair statement of his account current
Cor carrying on the late election---put down as
one item the charter Of two or three steamboats,
10 carry delegates to the Poughkeepsie Conven-
tion-item for banner shrouded with black of
the Constitution inverted---item sending over
the Custom House officers to New Jersey TO
influence the result in that noble State, and
lastly item for buying up the votes of several
miserable wretches, who were detected and
are now expiahng their folly in the Penterisa-
ry. Come Hoyt, repent and give US your con-
fession---turn states evidence against your asso-
ciaies in crime !--Penn'a. Telsgraph

ty, ever be pardoned, by the "laithful" for ad-
mitting that nnlucky communication into your
paper, which said, "thank God, the Democracy
of the Messenger is not the Democracy of the
Democratic Party" 1t was rank Treason, and
as such no doubt Prince Billy will treat it; un-
less you ask his highness' pardon and promise
not TO offend for the future.
Another thought strikes us. Probably you
had better apply TO head quarters at once for a
Pardon. The Governor has proclaimed HIM
self friend to the liberty OF the Press, and as
your crime is not so great Gn the eyes of hon

whom he lately pardoned, perhaps he may throw
his mantle Of executive clemency over you, aad

Sentence of Death.

On Thursday morning, Sentence
of Death" was passed at New Bruins
wick, N. J., on Peter Robinson, for
the murder of the late Mr. Suydam
He is to be executed in the New
Brunswick county Jail, on the 10th of
April All accounts agree that the
prisoner, after the verdict of the jury,
evinced careless and hardened in
difference; and after the sentence was
passed, he actually wished the Sher-
if to divide the execution fees" with
him-on the ground, as he said, that
having the severest part to perform
in the, ceremony, he ought to share
the profits. While the sentence was
being passed, he was apparently un-
moved, though the Chief Justice was
much affected-Pa Inquirer.

FOR THE JEFFrRsoNIAN REPUBLICAN.

Mr.. ScHocH: Seeing some inquiries in the
Monroe Democrat made by "Tax payer, y
concerning some of the items in the County
Statement for l640 ] took the trouble of COM
pairing it with the statement for the year 1899.
BY the statement of '39 it appears, that the
amount paid fer printing was Sl20,50, and the
different items of the printers bill are given.
The statement OF $40. shows that the amount
paid for printing was S247.25-Bore than
double that paid in '39--and what is a llttle SIM
gular, ii is Jumped bill and no items are given.
Why not give the items as in former years,
and in other counties, SO that the people may
know for what they are paying!

The Tariff and the South.

A Washington correspondent of the Boston
Atlas, writes in late letter.
"On the subject, too, of a protective Tariff
it is held matter of doubt whether there is net
in reality, stronger feeling in its favor in the
South than at the North. There has on this
point, evidently been, within few years past
an extraordinary change both of interest and
opinions At all events, the antitariff feeling
at the North has evidently very much increased
while at the South there has grown up in GER
tain parts, desire for protective duties on GER
lain articles of Importation This latter feeling
is the strongest, perhaps at the South West but
it is not wanting in parts of N and S. Carolina
and Georgia. to protect their cotton manufac-
lures, and exists still more among tobacco grow
ers, who desire retaliatory duties upon imports
from France. This last feeling prevails to a
great extent in Maryland, and in nearly the
whole of Virginia In the latter State, the dis
trct of Wise and Mallory, being wholly COM
mercial, and therefore antagonist to the inter-
esls of the tobacco growers, none of this article
being raised there, are exceptions. state
of feeling on this subject which is rapidly in
creasing in strength and extent, does not appear
10 be fully appreciated at the North"

The Buckeye Pilgrtm.--On the day Of the IN
auguration, man mounted the rail which en-
circles the top OF the central dome of the capi-

The attendant rebuked him and ordered him
down. "Tut, man." said he, "do you think I'll
come down at your bidding. l came all the

SINGULAR ExcITEMENT.-A great degree OF
excitement has for week past prevailed in
Lyme, Waterford, and MontviIle, Mass, in con-
sequence of the sudden appearance of man,
apparently sailor, who presented himself re-
Gently at the City Hotel at New London, and
claimed to be George W. Warren, son of E. r.
Warren at Lyme. In 1881 a schooner COM
manded by Captain Loomis, sailed from New
London for Mobile, and on board of her were
number of passengers belonging at New Lon
don and its vicinity-and among them was
George w. Warren. The vessel is supposed
TO have been lost on her voyage, as she never
reached Mobile, and nothing has since been
heard of her, or of soul on board of her. The
father and mother of young Warren deny tha!
this new conner is their son. and have publish
ed an affidavit, in which they probes, that he
has not the slightest resemblance to their los,
boy On the other hand, many allege that he
is the ,eritable George w Warren, and pruft,,
10 know him By scars and marks which they
know Warren carried in his boyhood; and thr
question whether he is or is not that ndiyldual
has excited the community in that vicinity ,e
a feverish degree, forming the topic of all cen
versation, dlsputation and numerous bets He
has, himself, confessed, that he is not young
Warren, and that his name is Seth w Chase,
but his disclaimer gains no credit with large
portion OF the community, who insist, will he,
Mill he, that he is and must be George w War
rem, and no one else. And so The exciIing
matter stands al present

From the Pennsylvania Inquirer.
Good News from Harrisburg.

The House of Representatives passed the
Senate Bank Bill, through a Second Reading
by sections, on Wednesday. The chief provi-
sions of this important bill are:--
THAT NOTE HOLDERS HAVE
THEIR ACTION AT COMMON LAW
AGAINST THE BANKS, THE SAME AS
INDIVIDUALS; THAT FOR FIVEYEARS
THE ISSUE OF SMALL NOTES BE AL
LOWED; CURTAILS THE AMOUNT OF
LIABILITIES OVER CAPITAL STOCK
PAID IN ABOLISHES THE PROXY
SYSTEM; SUSPENDS PENAL ENACT
MENTS AGAINST THE BANKS, AND
MAKES ANY CONCEALMENT OF THE
STATE OF THEIR AFFAIRS A MISDE-
MEANOR"
After the sections had passed, Mr. Lusk Of
fered new section. providing that the United
States Bank of Pennsylvania should be sub
ject to all the benefits of the bill on condition
that her stock should be reduced TO 5 millions
its name changed 10 the State Bank Of Pa,
and not reissue any note under the the old
name, and the stockholders pay in 10 per cent
on the amount of their stock
Mr. Johnson, of A., hoped modification
would be accepted that all banks before ac-
cepting the provisions Of the act would bind
themselves 10 be subject TO future legislation.
After several effectual attempts on the part of
The opponents of the bill to adjourn, it was at
length effected.
