"a new and important feature i'll Insurance
has been introduced by the National Exoress and

effected arrangements with twelve insurance
companies, by which the contents of the money
chests OF the Express Company are insured
against common carriers risk. Policies have
been taken out to the amount of $500, 900 by
each train. The risk, however, constantly re-
peats itself, and the amount additionally in
sured during the course of a year, must of
course, be immense. For the large additional
security thus afforded the National Express and
transportation Company make no extra charge
Its rates are the same as those charged by other

Here is another proof of the kind of inhab-
itants that produce copperhead majorities.
1t is record which we find in the Tioga
Agitator. Read it:
"Last Monday evening, (Oct 81 Hon.
S. F. Wilson, accompanied by James H.
Gulick and Joseph Yonkin, Esqs., of Bloss-
burg, went to Fall Brook, at which place
Mr.. Wilson was advertised TO speak on the
issues of the day. Arriving there, they
were informed by Mr.. Brewer, Mr.. John
Magee's Superintendent that Mr.. Wilson
would not be permitted to speak in Fall
Brook. Upon inquiry, Mr., Brewer decar-
ed that Mr.. Wilson's connection with the
Landlord Law had nothing whatever to dc
with the refusal of the people to hear him
but that they wanted and would have nc
Republican speeches made in Fall Brook.
During this parley, crowd surrounded
the Hotel, and became very noisy aud ri
otous, pelting some of the party with rot
ten eggs, &c. The party were advised tc
90 home, but refused. This disorder con
tinued until late hour. In the morning
the party found their wagon seat, whiffie.
trees, ard pole-straps missing, and got
away with the balance unmolested.
at is significant fact Fall Brook is the
only district in Tioga county which gave a
eopperhead majority. We believe the ri
oters and their leaders belong to the free
speech party, or the party which so named
itself in 1864. However, there must not
be foot of land in Tioga county where
speaking upon the issues of the day is not
freely permitted. Not even Fall Brook
can be excepted"

A Female Candidate,

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the
strong minded women who adorn tha soci-
ETY. of New York presents herself as can,
didate for Congress in the Eighth Con,
gressional District of that State. She aa-
neanees as her platform "free speech, free
press, free men, and free trade" and says
that as neither party agrees with her upon
all these principles, it is necessary for hel
to go to Congress as an independent wo-
man. Mrs. Stanton does not explain how
she intends to get round that provision o.
the Constitution which says that repre-
sentatives "shail have the same qualifca
tions requisite for electors ef the most nu
merous branch Of the Legislature" A;
the Constitution of New York confines the
right of voting to males, it would seem
that Elizabeth is ineligible. But this, we
presume, will be asmall difficulty, the most
serious obstacle being the election. In hel
card Mrs. Stanton is eloquent about the
wrongs of women, of which one of the
most serious is being taxed without repre-
sentation. All those matters will be sci
right when she gets into Congress anc
probably y not before.

who love their country. These publications,
not being regarded as strictly political, have
entered almost every intelligent household in
the North, and have carried with them argu-
ments for the Right that have been read by
those who would refuse to read such papers as
the Tribune, and Press. A printed word is the
most potent thing in the world, and when it is
dressed in the beautiful and attractive garb of
Harper's Magazine or Weekly, its power is
greatly increased. We commend these publi-
