Call and Settle

Our friends who are in arrears for subscrip.
ton, advertising and job work, are requested
to come forward and settle. If you have not
the money, come and settle at any rate We
have accounts running for six years and up
wards and they must be settled. Our friends
will bear us out in saying that we have never
pressed them. Hence it is but right that they
should show some appreciation of our leniency
by promptly responding to this call. We have
old debts to pay and those who owe us old debts
must raise the money for us. Come and settle!

Pick Your Flints.

The election is over, and though, through the
frauds of Curtin and his minions, we have been
deieated--yet, let US not be cast down---there
is hopein the future. The people may be de-
ceived once or twice; by the duplicity and cor
ruption of an administration, having all the pat
ronage, power, and s'Greenbacks' on its side;
but these very engines will yet prove its own
destruction, 1t is true, that patronage will buy
the votes of thousands; that pow er welded by
unscrupulous rulers, may, for q time close the
months of the timid and in th at manner, keep
the truth chained in prison; but it will finally
burst the bonds and soar trium phant, despite the
shackles of designing men, W h!o are gorged with
the 'sspois of ofiice;" and VINO would sacrifice
the blood-bought rights of freemen for the sake
Of being ''cothed in lttl e brief authority"
These men, who are now in power, have rails
ed a storm which they cannot control-they
have commenced a war vehich they cannot end;
and they are, already, beginning to see their
danger. The time is fast approaching, when,
even those whom tb ely have so long deceived,
will have the scales lifted from their eyes; SO
that even they-bli'ni as they have heretofore
been--will see clearly the hideous corruptions
covered by the mitch used terms ''loyalty" and
''patriotism." ''f he powers that be-" (as the
men Of this adm ii iistration blasphemously per-
sis in calling the mseyes) are just now in di'
lemma, and mus seize one of two horns, orr per-
ish: -they must put down the rebellion before
the next Pres dental election, or abolish the
ballot-box. If they 40 not do one of these two,
or both, the II .xt President will be Democrat,
as sure as the sun rises and sets.
The men Nho were led to vote for Curtin on
the promise ii lat ''there would be nomore drafts,
have alread 3 got their eyes opened by the call
for 1900, 1000 more" This call for volunteers
is but sb am to hide the draft. The Admins.
tration Knows that the quota will never be
filled by volunteers; and then the draft must
follow. 1t is true that the American people
are easily duped; but it is also true that, like
the rest Of mankind, they learn by experience,
They will not be so easily duped, nor bought,
next fall, as they were this--nor will the sup
porters of the administration be so enthusiastic.
Their, ''pick your Aints' and be ready-take
heart and never despond:- ........,,. ..'.4
''Fea not that tyrants shall rule forever,
Nor their priests of the bloody faith; M
They stand on the brink Of mighty river ca
Whose waters are tinctured with death:
IT'S fed from the depths of a thousand dells--
Around them it rises, and RACES, and swells;
And their swords and their sceptres floating see,
Like wrecks on the surge Of eternity

EFFECTS or COMPOUND INTEREST. In Cali
fornia any stipulated rate of interest is lawful,
and the current rates are often fearful In
January, 1861. (not yet three years ago) Dan
iel K. Vance borrowed 81 800 Of Morris Wise,
payable on demand, with compound interest at
eight per cent, per month. Not being paid,
Wise sued it and obtained verdict month a.
go, for the snug little sum of one hundred and
sixty millions of dollars. Not being able to
lose so much money, Wise concluded to strike
off one hundred and forty millions from the a.
mount, and only have judgment entered for the
triAe of twenty millions. The above has been
going the rounds of the press for some time.
A gentleman at our elbow says that 1900, at
eight per. per month compound interest will re-
qure nine years before it reaches the sum of tire
millions. Also, that money at eight per cent.
per month, compound interest, doubles in little
more than nine months. How is it! Somebody
that knows, please answer.
