Unity OF interest and unity Of desire will

Fire and Thief Proof Chests.

The manufacture and sale of fire and thief
proof chests has become business OF I'M
mense magnitude; and although confined
chiefly to one leading house in Philadelphia,
safes of Philadelphia manufacture are now
found IN every part of the country. The
great amount Of security which is realized at
so trlfing cost makes il matter Of mme-
dlate interest to every prudent business man.
A certain degree of security can be had by
insurance, but the best insurance policy is
imperfect where the books and valuable pa
pers are at the mercy Of the deyouring ele
ment; and this fact is so generally understood
that no man who makes any pretensions to
being a careful business man can afford to be
without proof safe, and hence the great ex-
tent of this department of manufacture 1t
may be objected that some careful, prudent
men" Will not risk the purchase ola so called
safe which in the hour of trial must prove
itself to be cheat-an imposition and fraud
upon the purchaser. And the objection
comes with considerable force since irrespon.
slble parties are engaged in the manufacture
OF them. Every reputable business attracts
lmpostors, and the manufacture Of safes is
not an exception. Parties even from other
cltles have been attracted to Philadelphia by
the we'll earned reputation Of safes manulac
tured there, and to a certain extent have
brought the business into discredit But the
men who purchase from house long and
we'll established, whose safes have stood the
test of time and whose integrity commands
the confidence Of the business community,
can 'na no risk. And 1t may not be out of
place here 10 say that Messrs EVANS L Wat
SON are without rival In this department of
trade. Their sale rooms at No. 30t, Chest
nut street, always contain large stock suit
ed IN styles and prices to every demand
Their safes have, wherever tested, added to
their we'll earned reputation, and whatever
may be said of other manufactures, certain it
Is that Evans & Watson's safes are what they
Purport to be, and he who seeks security will
not find it for a less price elsewhere.- From

Nothing can better exemplify the ille-
gality and injustice of the new-fangled south
ern democratic doctrine of secession than the
case of Florida. That country was purchas-
ed with the common funds Of the United
States, large sums have been spent in fortif-
cations and military equipments, and the
subsection of few Indians cost vast sums of
money, and no little bIood-the aggregate
cost being probably one hundred millions of
dollars-yet this petty State with less inhabi-

The Southern Fever.

We deem 1t useless to print any portion
Of the balderdash sent over the telegraph
wires respecting South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama, Mississippi and Florida taking
measures to sccede from the Union In
South Carolina there is a great deal ftalk
and bonibast among the tory democrats who
yegotate there since the revolution. In
Georgia the Governor, who is Il sort OF
John Brown" has proposed to seize goods
Of Northern men and other piratical acts
and recommended retaliatory measures
against all the States who will not turn
nigger catchers, but the Union sentiment
is strong there and will eventually put
down rebellion. The best evidence Of the
folly of even talking of seeding can be
instanced by few facts relating to South
Carolina, in which State the most is said
Of going to war with the north. By the
late census the free white persons of one
district are set down at $50, the colored
population in the same district Il, 2,G94; the
whites forming only one esixth of the num-
Der colored, upward Of 10000 of whom
are slaves. In Lower AlIsaints district
the dlsproportion appears to be still more
marked; for instance, in a population of
1881, only 226 are free persons, ll9 of
whom are males. This would give an aver
age Of rather more than SO slaves to each
white male in that district. The grand to-
tai Of slave population in the above dis
tricts IS l6G05; of free persons, 3,195.
Here we have a population of which less
.han one-sixth are white persons, and the
remaining fve.sixths slaves. 1t is singu-
lar that this ever restless State can't see
the weakness Of her folly and the folly Of
her weakness,

Negro Vote in Ohio.

Among the late lies circulated by Lo
cofoco editors and orators, is one which
was repeated in New York by Herschel
V. johnson, Douglas candidate for the
Vice Presidency, and re-echoed by the
Lewistown Democrat and other papers, to
the effect that the Republicans carried the
State of Ohio, at the October election, by
means of the Negro vote that Il, 900 ne
groes voted their ticket! Now let US see
what the facts are. From the Cincinnati
Gazette we learn that the coiored popula-
ton Of Ohio numbers, all told, 24,379; of
these, 1851 are males, and of the males
there are only 5,S72 over p years Of age.
The Gazette then goes on to say:
"By the Constitution of Ohio, none but
lcbtte males over twenty one can vote but
the Supreme Court decided that less than
half blood, was white consequently, if the
judges Of elections should decide that light
colored mulatto was less than half, they
might admit him to vote. Now the number
Of this class Is not one-third of the whole
amount, and Of the 1927 colored males over
2l, not more than 1000 could possibly come
within L legal right to vote. Judge Brinker-
hoH's clear majority Of the entire vote was
l3,004. IT, then. every colored man in Ohio
had voted the Republican ticket, the Judge
would still have had 5000 white majority be
yond that; and if every one voted for him,
who had right, he would have had II 900
majority. But, so far from this, we challenge
all the inspectors OF elections in Ohio to show
that three hundred colored men actually voted
at all or, that two hundred voted the Repub
lican ticket. When we state that half the
colored population of Ohio are in the coun-
ties Of Hamilton, Ross, Franklin, Pike, Fair,
field and Gallia, and one or two others, where
negro voting would subject him to being
mobbed, it will be seen what an incredible
amount of either Ignorance or lying is inYolV-
ed in Mr.. Johnson's statement"

The Tariff Question.

The Clinton Democrat, which like the
Lewistown Democrat, was one of the pa
pers that last winter proposed to credit all
good laws that might be passed by the Leg
lslature of this State to the then democrat
ic Senate, and all bad ones to the House,
which was composed of a majority of the
Peoples Party, has a characteristic article
on the tariff in which it asserts that if Mr.,
Hale will offer to re-enact the tariff of 1916,
with an amendment increasing the duties
on iron and coal, there is no doubt but #
will be accepted and enacted at once" 1t
then goes on to say
"But we doubt Mr. Hale's sincerity on this
subject, as we do that Of all other poIiticians
who are continually harping about it with.
out offering practical remedies The politi.
cIa"s want the subject for IA hobby, and that
is all any of them care about it. Thev
would not settle the question if thev could
so long as it will yield them political capital J."
Judge Hale is hardly politician in the
sense spoken of, and if on his vote and
exertions will depend the enactment of a
sound tariff the Clinton Democrat can rest
easy, BY tue by, if that paper is interest
ed in tariff, why not urge on the demo-
cratic Senate to pass the bill which was
postponed by that body last spring? 1t is
entirely satisfactory to Pennsylvania iron
and coal interests
