ey OcR CANDIDATE FOR SuERIrr.-There
appears to be great dissatifaction among the
Democratic party relative TO the nomination
Of Henry j. Reader for Sheriff. In fact
some OF the leading Democrats in the county
are using every exertion to defeat him. Some
oppose him on the ground that be was not
fairly nominated, others that he is not CON-
petent. While o great number accuse him
of being avaricious and are fearful that in
these hard times he will make too hard q
Sheriff on the poor-what the result will te
time will determine.

Beard has all the necessary experience,

MoNTouR WoRKs.-We r, gret to say there
is no certainty about these Works going into
operation this winter. The managers have
been unremi,ting in their endeavors to raise
funds to pay of the workmen up 10 the present
time, but have not yet succeeded, although
they have over Sl50,000 worth Of Rails in
market, with other and ample means; the
state Of the money market being such at pres
ent that il is almost impossible to raise funds
on the best security. We are assured. how
ever, that the Company will persevere in the
effort until it is accomplished. The months
pay now due to the workmen amounts to
about $4,000, a sum not easily raised under
present circumstances american

Can Henry j. Readers de-
mocracy be genuine, or is it what might be
termed Office fever democracy For certainly
one who has opposed the ticket SO repeatedly
cannot be consistent democrat. VIM. Full
mer was nominated some years sgo for AS
sembly yet, AMI told Mr.. Reader opposed
hini-and when my old friend James Covert,
Esq, received the nomination for Sheriff he
opposed him, and thus l might enumera,e
others who were nominated by our party but
opposed by Mr.. Reader. But now he asks
US to elect Lin Sheriff and calls on every de-
mocrut to support him, but he cannot receive
my vote, for do not consider him II good de.
mocrat, and | do not think he was fairly NOM
mated, certainly there were other candidates
who had greater claims for our support, but
by considerable twisting and managing among
some Of your Sunbury men, Reader was non-
mated, or 4, least they "count-d up" the
greatest namber Of votes for him.

FNAscIAL TROUBLES IN PARIs.-The Paris
correspondent Of the Boston Traveller, under
date Of September II, writes as follows, in
regard to the financial revulsion in that city !:
I'VE are in the midst Of sort of panic.
Everything on Change is going down rapidly.
The Credit Mobilier 10 said to be seriously
menaced. One Of the most prominent direc-
tors, NJ. Ernest Andre, not only resigned,
but upon the refusal Of his bretbern 10 accept
his resignation, be forced it upon them by a
notary. 1t is said he has since withdrawn it,
and is again at the Board. But all sgree
that the golden days of the Credit Mobilier
have gone by. The stock has fallen to 770f.
the lst OF last April it was l500f! The
Csisse Mires is 370f-ths lst of last April
It was 550f. NJ. Mires predicts very hard
times coming. A great deal Of fear 10 enter
tanned that We are about paying heavily for
the fever Of speculation Which has been rigging

THE FALL IN TIE PRIcE OF WEEAT.-A
cargo of wheat arrived at Buffalo last week,
says the Republic, consigned to a house with
instructions to sell at 81 Is. When it arri-
we'd all that was offered was 81 10; the con-
signee telrgraphed to the owner to come
down and sell it himself On the day Of his
arrival it had gone down TO 81 05; he offered
at that figure, and was offered 81, but he
thought he would look about before selling at
that price, and when he went to make the
trade it bad falen TO 95 cents; he waited till
the next day, when be was offered 90 cents for
il, and took it.

e1r The ELEcTIoS takes place on next
Tuesday, but there is very little excitement
concerning it, In fact the opposite party
admit that Gen. PAGER, our candidate for
Governor, aud the whole State ticket will be
elected by q large majority. Our State
ticket is certain Of success, and the men
composing it are worthy Of our support. For
our part We have never seen a more quiet
election campaign, but suppose the severe
panic in money matters tends to lead our
thoughts in different direction.

A FAITHFUL OFrIcER.-Mr. Jacob Eierly
of Columbia county. Pa, was appointed Pro-
thonotary in 1880 by Gov George Wolf and
since the Ritner administration we understand
he has been reappointed aud elected for each
successive term up TO this time, aud is now
the democratic nominee for reelection, thus
showing that man who has had experience
in public affairs, renders greater satisfaction
than one whose experience has been limited
and consequently is more competent to dis.
charge the duties Of his office.

For various reasons / have deemed it
proper to decline being a candidate for County

entirely between Major Helm and Jesse NJ

We need not say that from his well known
character and business habits, there can be
no doubt as to his making an excellent
Treasurer, and that there will be no difficulty
