the tide Of comparative financial prospe'

enormous sums due for hounties under the
late law of Congress are to be Immediately
maid il il certain that the figures IN the
monthly statements, showing regular re.
Jpr,;ons will grow I" small by degrees and
heant;fully less" This will stand very
much in the way Of an easy resumption OF
Snccie naymcnts. The Department having
reached the limit Of $40 bonds which
were issncd with interest payable in May
and November, those hereafter issued in
Exchange for 1905 will bear interest from
July !, 1866.
Adyiccs which have been received here
from York county, Pennsylvania, speak
very hopefully of Conservative gains III
that county, which has, however, always
becn a Democratic district. The majority
which Lancaster county has generally roll
ed up for the Radical party 1t is thought
will be very considerably reduced, many
Of the Republicans being unable to e the
whole figure prescribed by Stevens and
other implacable foes to the South. The
question of negro suffrage and social
EQUALITY has commenced 10 tell some what
acains, them in Pennsylvania; but 1t can
not be doubted that even under the new
auspices by which the campaign Is being
conducted at present there is too little
time TO accomplish the success Of the Con.
scrvative party. York county will GER
tainlv roll up sufficient Conservative ma.
jority to balance the Radical element in
the adjoining county of Lancaster. In
deed il may be said that prominent politl
clans from the laSt-named district-ant
men, too, who have always voted the Re
publican ticket-assert that Thad. Stevens
will run 1000 votes behind his ticket. II
common parlance, they are willing t.
"bet" on that. They consider that they
could have done better with more mode
rate man than he who has been appropri
ately designated as the tyrant Of Congress
but the politicians Of the Lancaster Nomi
mating Convention were so welded to thu
woolly- he AIDED idol that they did not dare
to throw Stevens overheard and put at TIT
head of the county ticket a man not 81
thoroughly imbued with his evidently Oh
noxious principles.
Stevens is an old man; his tenure of life
is necessarily short; Lancaster county
politicians appreciate the fact; and Il
show the power of this man, prominent
politician Of that county stated only da.
or two ago in the hearing OF gentleman
known to be Democrat and an adheren'
OF the Presidents policy, that "if Thad
Stevens were to die tomorrow, the Re
publican party would he divided up int
innumerable factions, and would not know
where to seek a leader" The election il
Pennsylvania takes place on next Tuesda!
week.
The gloomy, dreary equinoctial storm
continues. Not glimpse of sunshine ha
cheered this last Sabbath Of September
The churches were poorly attended to-day
