THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

These elections are never a test of the
entire strength of party, very frequently
the unpopularity of some candidate, or sew
eral candidates, or the disafection of few,
causes the whole ticket to run below its le-
gitimate strength, and thus give material
advantage to the opposition party. This
happens very frequently in the Republican
party, where every individual is a free and
independent voter, not bound BY the mar
row party lines which characterize those
who have no other aim than the success of
modern Copperheadism And when these
one-idea men, who never vote anything but
the Democratic ticket, and who would vote
for the merest rowdy living, against the
best citizen in the community, gain an in
different advantage, a shout of triumph IS
set UP as if the country had been saved from
the worst Of perils. We are led to make
these suggestions on the strength Of the
squibs in the last Gazette. 1t gives US pleas
ure to know that our adyersaries are so eas-
lily satisfied We have looked over the re-
turns and we are unable to see where the
gain comes in. True, there was a great
falling off Of votes, few more on the Re
publican than on the Copperhead side, but
this is nothing to make hens ado over.
We gained Judge of Election in Harrison
and lost one in Londonderry. There was
no contest anywhere save in Bedford Bor-
ough, where we had nothing to lose, and
South Woodberry, where we gained every
thingexcept the usual Inspector.
From all parts of the State we hear Of
the most fattering success at these elections,
but we do not feel disposed to come out
with tremendous flourish over so trifing a
matter. When states speak, as New Hamp-
shire did the other day in thunder tones,
these Copperheads never even make note
of it, but let them gain a township clerk on
the strength of local disafection, and they
shout like party of Ojibways.

CHAIRMAN OF THE UNION STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

Col. Jordan Of this place has been ap-
pointed Chairman Of the Union State Cen
trail Committee, we clip the following COM
ments on the appointment from the Dele
ware County Republican, which we fully
endorse.
We are gratifed that so good and compe-
tent man as Col Francis Jordan of Bed
ford, has been appointed to the important
post of Chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee, on the wisdom and en-
ergy of which body the success of the party
in the approaching campaign must so large
" depend No man could have been Sc
lseted in whom the masses Of the Republi-
can party could more safely repose conf
denee. Hispublic career in the State SEN
ate, in the army, and in the important posi-
ton he has filed at Washington, has been
always characterized by rigid and consis-
tent devotion to principle, and has vindicat-
ed the confidence of the people in his polit-
cal sagacity and staunch integrity. We con
graduate Col. Jordan on being assigned to
the leadership of the campaign, when, in
spite Of the sinister auguries Of our adverse
ries, and the detection of men in high posi-
ton, every thing looks bright for the Re
publican cause.

A SOCIAL PROBLEM.

One of the phenomena of American So
ciety, that more than any other has puzzled
the student Of social philosophy, is the fixed
regularity with which families rise I'd wealth
and eininence and again decline to poverty
and obseurity. Two causes have usually
been assigned for this popularity Of Ameri-
can society, neither Of which satisfactorily
accounts for the phenomenon. One is that
we lack the orders of nobility which in most
other countries serve to perpetuato family
titles and wealth the other, that it is the
result Of the abolition of the law of primo
geniture, which formerly gave all the real
estate Of family to the eldest son, and
later, in the American colonies, gave him
double portion. thus keeping at first nearly
all and afterward a large portion, of the
wealth of every family IN the possession of
a single member, and perpetuating the fam
ily wealth and rank through many genera
tions But there is more potent cause
than either Of these, for the phenomenon
sought to be accounted for. Let not Our
soft fingered, do-nothing, would be gentry
be startled at the announcement It is the
false idea too often taught by precept, and
constantly by example, that the nearest pos
sible approximation to a life of utter use
lessness is the highest attainable degree of
gentility. As long as this false and PERM
eious idea prevails, we viii continue to see
the wealth accumulated and the character
established in two or three generations, by
diligence in some useful calling squandered
and destroyed BY the would-be genteel lazza-
roni of the succeeding two or three. One
need net go a thousand miles to see the
workings of this miserable notion Of gentili-
ty illustrated in families of established
wealth and character, we may see it in every
community. where the daughters as gaudy,
useless, silly, butterflies, and the sons as
lazzaroni or debauchees are making rapid
strides in the downward course, and whose
posterity in another generation viii be
found in the haunts of poverty and igno-
rance, once more, to begin the upward as
cent with sturdy physical laboz. These are
substantial facts, however disagreeable to
many it may be to contemplate them, and
they viii be continually illustrated in every
community, until parents, in all the walks
of life, whether higher or lower, teach their
children both by preeept and example, that
it is not only gentecl, but that the highest
honor, as well as, enjoyment is to be found
in the diigent pursuit Of some useful call
ing giving either mental or physical employ
ment, Or both, and promotiYe of the happi-
ness and contentment Of the party so enga-
ged as well as the community of which he
is member. In this, and in this alone, we
predict will be found the secret of perma-
nence in the wealth and character not onlNI
of families but of whole communities.

CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.


The testimony produced before the Re-
construction Committee, in regard to the
condition of the lately rebellious States has
been in part made public and demonstrates
the almost utter absence of anything akin to
loyalty among the majority of the white pop
ulation. The substance of the testimony is
thus tersely stated by the Washington
Chronicle
/. That there is throughout the South a
general hostility toward the Government of
the United States, and manifest indisposi-
tion upon the part of the people, especially
the paTdoned leaders and politicians, to ac-
cept the results of the rebellion.
H. That there is disposition to prescribe
Unionists, whether found in the South, or
coming from the North, or in other words
to make loyalty odious and treason respect
able, and that there is an unconcealed ha-
tired toward the freedmen, and general de-
sire to oppress them
Ill. That so far as all the clements Of
good citizenship are concerned, the negroes
are better prepared for enfranchisement
than the poor whites. They are mole loyal,
more industrious, more anxious to obtain an
education, and better able to take care of
themselves and those dependent upon them.
". That there is a widespread desire
upon the part Of the more wealthy and in
fuential Of the late traitors to assume the
rebel debt and to demand compensation for
their liberated slaves.
" That the genuine loyalists of the
South are for obvious reasons against the
admission of the late rebels to power,
either in the State or National Govern
ment
VI That the magnanimous policy of the
Government has not been reciprocated and
that the pardoning of the leading rebels
has had an injurious effect upon the work
Of restoration, and has tended to discourage
loyalty.

on TIE RIGHT TRACK.

The House Of Representatives passed
the Finance Bill known as Sherman s Sen
ate Bill on the 23d inst. after amending it
so as to limit the contraction of the curren-
cy to so, GOO, 900 for the first six months
aud s4, 600, 600 per month afterward. 1t is
confidently asserted that it win pass the
Senate without any material change. This
is the first step in the direction of a fixed
financial policy, and we accept it as an augury
of safe and speedy return to specie pay
ments without crash. Gold fell from 1865
on the 23dinst to l24s on the 9th. With
a prompt revision Of cur Import and Inter-
nal Revenue duties, we viii soon be able to
overcome all financial difficulties without Sc
riously affecting our industrial interests.

1t is well known maxim of political
economy that desire creates demand, and
that demand is the stimulus oftrade What
ever, then, produces desire for the articles
of trade, promote it. This theory is exem-
plifed by tailors and milliners, whose yota-
ries, bedeeked with we'll fitting garments
and loves of bcnnets, are in reality
walking advertisements of their respect
i've branches of trade. People want 70 know
what there is to sell, and where it is to be
found. This done, the desire to obtain is
created, and the demand follows When
one name appears continually in the paper
he becomes known to everybody. When he
ddCertises largely, it is printa tacia evidence
that he is selling largely, and that he is sue
cessful in trade. People reason, that the
man whose business is daily brought TO their
notice through the columns of the press,
has nany patrons, and that his large trade
enables him to sell cheap; consequently, his
business-house becomes popular. Every
body visits it. Let the entire first year
profit in given series of years business, be
judiciously used in advertising, and the
is worth infinitely more at the end
of the second year, than if he had remained
hid in his corner, and trusted to chance, for
the visit of an occasional customer, who
might stumble into bis unknown place Of
business.

FALLING Prices. The hearts of thous-
ands of consumers Of goods are gladdened
with the gradual but sure decline in prices
which is noted from week to week in our
market reports People with small incomes
now find it easier than it was a few months
ago to make both endsmeet Gold has fall
len about nine per cent. since the lst Of
March, and coal, provisions, dry goods,
clothing, and all the necessaries Of life are
following the downward tendency of gold.
Everything favoas the poor man but rents
and with thousands of vacant houses offer
ed for sale allsoyer the city, by owners anx-
ious to realize, rents must before long bow
to the same unerring law. The price Of real
estate is falling with the rest. The auction
prices of houses and lots are not so high as
month ago. Every step towards return
to specie basis, although it may cause some
stagnation of business at present, viii GER
tainly be welcomed by the great mass of
our people.

WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE. AS Austria
declines to concur in such settlement of
the Schleswig-Holstein question as would
give the duchies to Prussia, it is anticipated
that the latter Power win appeal to arms,
the ultima ratio regum, and declare war
against Austria. 1t is said that all the Aus
trian troops in Bohemia have been ordered
to Attona, which is the principal city of
Holstein, close to Hamburg, and that Prus-
sia has ordered three army troops to be got
ready for active service at once. If Austria
gets involved in war with Prussia, the
annexation of Venetia to the Kingdom of
Italy may be expected. almost as a certain

DISFRANCHIsEMENT OF DEsER
TERS

In Franklin county, week before last, at
an adjourned session of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, in an action for damages on a
case stated, Judge King punished Judge
of election, for refusing deserters vote,
with fine of one dollar and costs. ia
cilis descensus Avey7si" This is legitimate
consequence of the Judges former decision
in the same county in favor of deserters.
As before stated, we believe the Judge to
be radically wrong. The case is to be taken
up to the Supreme Court for decision,
where we have no doubt it will be determ-
ined in favor of obedience to the laws of
the land, until they are either repealed or
pronounced unconstitutional by some prop
erIy authorized and competent tribunal.

The NARROW PATH TO THE SENATE. -
There was some discussion few days ago in
the House Of Representatives, as to the re-
moval ofsome unsightly objects from the old
hall. Among other things, double fence
which somebody has built across the hall ex-
cited the wrath of members. 1t is so high,
that it semed to be the opinion that nobody
but Long John Wentworth' Of Illinois
could look over; Thaddeus Stevens insisted
that it was built to keep the colossal model
of the statue of liberty from breaking out
1t was finally determined to have 1t removed
but not before Mr.. Schenk, lately an unsuc-
cessfui candidate for the Senate from Ohio,
had made the following amusing application
of the proposition
My friend from Illinois Mr. Wash
burne suggests that this railing, being upon
either side of path leading from this end
of the Capitol to the other, ought to be
preserved for the benefit of ambitious gentle
men who desire to go from this House to
the Senate; and | suppose he intended to
express his entire sympathy with me in nv
failure to effect that object | wish to con
sole him as well as myself by saying that
whatever may have been his experience, it
has been ascertained that a straightforward
path is not the best by which to reach the
Senate; and perhaps on that account it
might be better that some change should be
made in the direction given to that railing
Perhaps if the fence were made SO low that
one could ride upon it, and be on the fence,
occasionally, it would be an advantage to
aspirants to senatorial honors. Laughter. /
| shall not be movod from my purpose by
any suggestion of the gentleman from Hi
nois on that point
