The election on Tuesday, resulted in
one of the most glorious triumphs that has
grace the old Keystone State for many
years. GEN. PACKERS MAJORITY
IN THE STATE Will BE NEAR
THIRTY THOUSAND. ' H..'
The whole Democratic State ticket is
elected by large majorities. The news
from oil quarters is succession Of Demo-
cratic victories and Democratic gains. 1t
is probable that Democracy never before
swept the State more completely than it
did on Tuesday. From all parts Of the
State we hear nothing but the most glori-
GUS Democratic news.
Old Columbia, too, has done nobly.-
Every man upon the Democratic ticket is
elected by handsome majority. ''

Relief from the u. s. Treasury


The New York Times bestows high
concentrations upon Mr.. Cobb, the able
and patriotic Secretary of tho Treasury,
for shaping the Government disbursements
foa the last thirty days so as to afford the
largest measure Of pecuniary relief to the
community. Since August Gath he has
reduced his balance in the sub.treasury. at
New York from 224 millions to So, 1000,
nearly all of which has gone into the banks,
reinforcing them with that amount of specie
These movements are to be followed UP by
Mr.. Cobb-the whole effect being to
'popularize the sub-treasury system, in q
season of severe pecuniary trial, and to
afford degree of substantial aid to bust.
ness, for which the public are largely in
debted to the practical sense of the head
of the Treasury Department" .r

The President at Home.

On Saturday last says the Press, the
Court room at Lancaster was unusually
crowded, as an important jury trial was
going on. In the midst of their proceedings
james Buchanan tho President of the
United States, quietly, and alone, walked
into the Court--that very Court before
which he earned his early reputation, and
in which he practiced for nearly forty
years.
As soon as he was recognized, the
Judges on their seats, the lawyers, jury,
witnesses, spectators and all, rose as if
actuated by one common feeling, and stood
uncovered to welcome their old friend and
fellow citizen. The President kindly sa-
luted those about him, and after shaking
hands with the judges, retired, apologizing
for having interrupted their proceedings.

MoNToUR WoRKs.-We regret to say
there is no certainty about these Works
going into operation this winter. Tho
managers have been unre;nitting in their
endeavours to raise funds to pay off the
workmen up to the present time, but have
not yet succeeded, although they have over
Sl5O,OO0 worth of Rails in market, with
other and ample means; hesitate of money
market being such at present that it is
almost impossible to raise funds on the
best security. We are assured, however
that the Company will persevere in the
effort until it is accomplished. The
months pay now due to the work men
amounts to about $4,000 sum not easily
raised under present circumstances.

By the arrival of the steamship Atlantic
at New York, VIC are in possession of three
days later news from Europe. From India
the dates are Calcutta, August 23d, Bonn
bay, August 3lst, and Delhi to the 18th of
August.
From India the accounts are gloomy and
dispiriting. In Bengal the population we're
rising, numbering the English inhabitants
and spreading the spirit Of revolt over the
whole district. Calcutta was becoming
crowded with fugitives from all parts of
Bengal, who were flying from the fury of
the mutineers. -.i' .@, '' "'as,

made about the Goth. General Havelock

The New York Banks and
Suspension.

1t is frequently asked, will the New
York banks suspend? The answer is,
they can't suspend; they may 60 into in
solvency, but they cannot tell their credit
ors that they must take their paper notes
or nothing. The constitution of the great
State of New York has clause in it which
was framed by men who partook of the
character of "the hard moneyed men" Of
the revolution, as Mr.. Webster called them.
In that constitution is the following sig
nifoant clause -
The legislature shall have no power
to pass any law, sanctionins in any man
ner, directly or indirectly, the suspension
of specie payments by any person, associa-
ton or corporation issuing bank notes of
any description.
In cases of insolvency of any bank or
banking association, the bill holders shall
be entitled to preference in payment over
all other creditors"
II follows that no extra session of the
Legislature, as in Pennsylvania, can lcgalize
bank reputation, and therefore the charter
life of the New York banks compel them
to redeem in specie.
The legal compulsion is not the same il
Massachusetts,, but the credit of Boston is
an Obligation even more imperative thar
statute regulations. Boston must not lose
abroad the mercantile character which he,
"solid men" have earned for her, and the
taint Of Reputation must not touch hel
commercial credit. The banks will no
suspend if the merchants do not compe
them to, and, therefore, the banks mus
help the insolvent merchants and they tn,
banks to sustain the specie paying basis o

Don't Hoard the Coin!

There is an abundance of gold and sill
yer coin ip the country for all the ordinary
transactions of daily life, il it is only kept
in circulation. A small specie currency is
the life-blood Of business and if it be want
ing to any considerable extent, business
will languish, stagnate or decay in proper
ton as its life-blood is wanting.
Tho propensity to hoard gold and silver
money is one Of the lowest and meanesl
vices of The human mind. 1t 40 tho very
essence Of selfsbness. This propensity is
naturally heightened in times of panic like
the present, and often seizes upon good
men who in ordinary seasons would be
entirely free from it. Let all who have a
spark Of kindly and liberal feeling resist
the temptation and i. will flee from them"
There is still sufficient gold and silver
In the country to keep the wheels of busi-
ness in motion, and thereby enable honest
industry by daily labor to earn its daily
bread. Whatever of want and suffering
may prevail this winter among those who
would labor but can find no employment,
will be largely owing to the boarding of
coin. Those who cause this want to fall
upon the poor, will receive their pay in due
season, if it be true that with the measure

Death of Hon. Louis McLane.

Hon. Louis McLane died in Baltimore
on Wednesday. He must have been up
wards of 20 years of age. Few men in
public life have been more generally re-
spected for wisdom, moderation, talents
and patriotism. He was elected U. s.
Senator from Delaware in 1927, and re.
signed, having been appointed Secretary
of the Treasury by President Jackson in
August, 1881, to succeed Samuel d. Ing
ham, Of Pennsylvania. In 1888 Mr.. Nc
Lane was appointed Secretary of State,
and upon Mr.. Van Buren's rejection by
The Senate as Minister to England succeed
ed him in that capacity, in which he won
the esteem Of the English and gave salts
faction to his own country. The deceased
statesman has so long made his home in
Baltimore that he generally supposed
to have entered public life from Maryland.
He remained faithful to the principles of
General Jackson's era, and his son, Louis
McLane, Jr., recently represented one Of
the Baltimore districts in Congress.

FIREMEN's PARADE IN PHILADELPHIA.

FIREMEN's PARADE IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Firemen's Parade in Philadelphia,
on Monday last, was grand affair, and
passed off very pleasantly. The procession
was imposing beyond anything of the kind
ever before seen in the city. Ninety.three
companies were in the line, twenty-four of
them being visiting companies. The wea-
ther was beautiful, and the glittering ap-
paratuses in the line, which were FURNISHED
and adorned for the occasion, showed off to
the best advantage. 1t was gala day in
the city. .-f ..fru rr
During the progress of the procession
some Of the white bands took umbrage at
the presence of colored musicians in the
line, and they quit the ranks and psraded
through the streets upon their own account.

CONNECTICUT o. K.
Democratic Victories all over the
Country.

Township Elections in Connecticut took
place on Monday last, and the Democrats
seem to have made clean sweep.
The Middletown Sentinel gives results
from several towns, adding that "they
present thus far unbreLon ee-ios Of
democratic triumphs, and yet achieved,
without any extra efforts on the part of our
friends. These results indicate in the most
unmistakabic manner how strongly the
popular current is running towards democ-
racy, and how fast the fortunes Of the pie
bald opposition are ebbing. The sober
second thought Of the people has every
where, even on the borders of the far
Pacific, approved the verdict given in No.
vcmber last. One more effort, friends
and Connecticut will inevitably be rescued
from Black Republican msrulc."

GEORGE THE FoURTH's DEATH =

GEORGE THE FoURTH's DEATH No
man clung to life with greater tenacity
than George w., was more unwilling
to hear from those about him any hint or
suspicion of his apparent decay. When
confined to his room, and his case had
become evidently hopeless, he still felt the
vital Stamina SO strong in him that he would
not believe his own danger; he talked of
preparations for the approaching Ascot
races, which he would attend in person,
and showed confidence in his recovery,
which all around him knew to be impossi-
BILE. On the 9th of May, 1880, prayers
were ordered to be read in the churches
for the restoration of the Kings health /;
and though the work Of death was gradually
approaching, the most contradictory accounts
were constantly circulated as to his real
state. At length the awful moment arrived.
He went to bed, without any apparent
symptom, on the night of the 25th of June,
TO awake in great agitation, and called for
assistance. Sir Wathen Waller, who was
in attendance, came to his bedside, and at
his request helped to raise him from his
bed. He then exclaimed, "Watty, what is
this y 1t is death They have deceived
me !" And in that situation, without a
struggle, expired. a.a .L
