Inry Commissioner.

The last Monroe Democrat, after call
ing attention to the fact that two Jury
Commissioners, are to be elected this fall
to serve for three years, announces that
Two candidates have been chosen to
be balloted for at the next October cleo
ton in this county Mr. Emanual Shoe
maker is to be voted for for Jury Com
missioner in the nine easternmost town
ships Of Monroe, viz: in Barrett, Cool.

Polk township, is to be voted for for Jury
Commissioner in the eight westernmost
townships of Monroe County, viz: in
Chesnuthill Eldred, Jackson, Pocono,
Polk, Ross, Tobyhanna and Tunkhan-
mock"
Now we make no objection, personally
to either Of the gentlemen selected; and
if we were compelled to make selection
from the ranks of the Democracy Of Jury
Commissioners, we know of no two men
in that party whom we would prefer to
those named. But the object of the law
should not be lost sight of, which was,
undoubtedly, to remove the jury-box from
out of the line of partizanship, and to
make it what it should be, an unpreju-
diced minister of justice. 1t is true the
law was passed by Republican Legisla-
tho e.nofiOv of Ra
publican Governor but, it is equally true,
that it was designed to operate in all
in Berks, and to secure in each an intel
ligent man from each party, SO as to en-
sure a fair and impartial selection of men
to protect our lives and property. In all
the Republican counties of the State the
design of the law is being faithfully car
rieG out, and we regret to see this effort,
here in Monroe, where, owing to their
great preponderance in the vote, the De-
mocracy can so well afford at least to be
Just, to thwart it: We have no desire to

be we'll to question, as to who, after the
convention of the party failed to touch
the matter of Jury Commissioner, assum-
ed the responsibility of drawing the Office
into the political vortex? Who chose the
two candidates to be Dalloted for at the
next October election" and whence did
they derive their authority? Are the
quid hunks afraid to have the manner oi
Jury selecting in this county scrutinized
by unprejudiccd eyes? 1t would seem so
They would not otherwise have assumed
the power to district the county and
name the men to represent the districts.

Philadelphia Manufactures

We are somewhat astouished to notice
that the Quaker city of PHILADELPHIA n,ts
forth claim to being, not only the great
est manufacturing city on this continent
but, with the exception of London. the
greatest in the world. We are all familiar
with its advantages as quiet and pleas.
ant place of residence but that it should
claim to be great industrial centre. will
be news to many. As the matter is one.
however, IN which our merchants are
directly interested, aud the consumers of
goods indirectly, we will give brief
synopsis of its claims.
In 1860, according to the Census re-
turns, there were in Philadelphia, G,29S
manufactures having a capital of S73,-
3l0,0S5, which employed $4,000 hands,
and produced an annual value of $780,
100000. Recently, Mr. Edwin I. Freed
ley, well known author, has prepared a
volume of 700 pages, on the Manufactures
of Philadelphia, and demonstrated that,
in 1866, the factories produced over t,co
hundred millions Of dollars Of staple
goods. This is an astounding exhibit;
no other city on the American continent
approximates this amount. In 1855, the
State of Massachusetts,, including Boston.
Lowell, and all her famous manufacturing
towns, did not produce more than two
hundred and forty millions. In 1860
New York had only seven small Cotton
Goods Manufactures, and no Woolen
mills; Philadelphia is now the CONNER
cial centre of two hundred and sixty Cot
ton and WoOlen factories, aud has be-
sides, several thousand hand looms, of
which the annual product is equal to that
of seventy additional mills Of average size.
The class of Dry Goods manufactured in
Philadelphia is of those low priced staple
goods, which are especially adapted to the
wants Of the people in the Middle, Wes-
tern, and Southern States. Millions of
yards of Pantaloonery, Cottonades, Cheeks
4 Stripes. Tickings, Osnaburgs, Ken
tucky Jeans, and Narrow Textile Fabrics,
are made there every year Of Carpet
ings, the product amounts to nearly ten
millions of dollars of Ready Made Cloth
ing, to eighteen millions of Refined Su-
gar, over twenty millions of Boots and
! Shoes, over five millions of Stoves near
y three millions. Philadelphia claims
to have the largest Military Goods Manu-
facfactory, the largest Chemical factories,
the largest Cordage factory, the largest
Bookselling house, and the largest Loco
motive Works and Machine shops in the
United States. 1t is quite evident, that
her proximity to the Coal Mines and Iron
Beds, her low rents and facilities afforded
mechanics for comfortable and economical
living, have given Philadelphia a start in
manufacturing, which nothing but her
want of enterprise can retard. 1t is more
over evident that with the progress al
ready made in manufacturing, the Phila-
delphia market is worthy the attention
of those who wish to purchase goods at
! first hand.

Notice 10 IamNSr.

The following from the CARTON Demo
crdt, which We presume to be official, is
an evidence that our worthy Collector,
Hetrich, has concluded that the time for
retrenchment in expenditures has arrived.
10 the Collector it may be fun, but, We
opine, that more than one Deputy will
protest with BY Ding" against the
" ont ut-rage." 1t is rather scaley that just
as the Dep.'s" are getting their hands
in" the Collectors pockets begin to jim
gle SO lightly as to enfore the order,
" hands out" But such is the working
of politics. One never knows where he
is snugly. housed. We have experienced
that fact, and can, hence, condole with
the present afflicted. BY the way, we
presume that as the Collectors paper flies
the name of Sharswood at the mast head
he feels that he can maintain his position
in both the station and the party without
the aid of understrappers:
DIsCoNrINUED.-Owingt to the great re-
duction in the receipts, the Office of De-
putty Collector of Internal Revenue in
this county has been discontinued by the
District Collector, j. p. Hetrich, Esq
This will also be done in the counties of
Monroe and Pike. The payments will
hereafter be made to the District Collec-
tor, who will attend to those duties by
visiting Mauch Chunk several days in
each month. Persons on the annual and
other lists who neglected paying their
taxes to the Deputy Collector, will now
be charged the penalty of five per cent,
20 cents for serving of notice, and mile
age fee Carbon Democrat.

Lost on the Mountain.

A French lady, from one of the cities,
sojourniDg at the Gap, while out alone,
viewing the grand, imposing and beautiful
scenery of that neighborhood, missed her
way and got lost on the mountain, few
days ago. Not appearing at the supper
table, and having been seen in the woods,
10y others of the boarders, going in an op-
posite direction from the hotel, it was at
once surmised that she was lost, or had
met with an accident which prevented her
return. a search was Immediately insti-
tuted, all the neighbors and borders turn
ing cut, and, after thoroughly securing
the mountain, she was discovered, at about
il o'clock, P. M, on ledge near the
lower point of the Gap, safe in person,
though nearly exhausted, and with her
clothing much torn. The ledge on which
she was found, is an elevation of several
hundred feet, almost perpendicular. from
the road below, to which she had fallen, or
rather slid over the shale, from the path
above. The kind care she received on
her return to the Kittatinpy House, has,
We are pleased to learn, about fully re-
stored her to herself again.

BSg~Our Reighbor Of the Democrat, in
his last issue, announces to the world
that, with the aid Of the Bedford GA.
zatte, he has discovered a "mare's nest"
in shape of a circular issued by Francis
Jordan, chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee, relative to Judge
Sharswood's opinion of Legal tenders
Neither the Democrat nor the Gazette.
pretend that the circular misquotes Shars
woods opinion, they only complain that
that it did not contain the reasons why
and wherefore of the opinion. They
would have had US lumber up our col
umns with mess of stgJ, when the gist
of the whole is really contained in few
lines, which can be found in another col
umu. 4 few weeks ago the Democrat,
in the choicest language which his Bill
lingsgate could afford, essayed to prove
that Judge Sharswood's opinion was con-
fined to the interest which had accured
on ground rent, and which it was speci
fcalIy agreed should be paid in Spanish
milled, silver dollars. Now what would
have been the use of our publishing a
column or two to prove that this was not
so, when single sentence, in Judge
Sharswood's own language, showed con
clusively that, according to his opinion
the law creating legal tenders was uncon
stitutional. You should be more consid

whole opinion, with the why's and where

yourself. We do not recollect seeing i

THE arrangement by which the Assem-
blyship was sold out to Allen Craig, of
Carbon, does not give perfect satisfaction
to the sturdy Democracy of that county.
They seem to think that COW MIXED
dry, merely to advance Mauch Chunk in
terests, should not be made a charge for
her keeping to all the rest of the county,
and there has been considerable kick
ing" against Tie arrangement. In con-
sequence, our town was considerably en-
livened last week, by the appearance of
committee from Carbon, headed by Judge
Lentz, who, it appears, were floating
around on voyage Of discovery, with
hope of discovering some Democrat who
would join them in an effort to set aside
the sale, by running opposition to the
buyer. They found plenty of Democrats
who would like to take the Office, but no
one who possessed backbone enough to
run against the nominee of the party. =
Assurances, most beautifully sugar coated,
were dealt out in great abundance, but
they produced no results; and the com
mittee, were at length, with much reluct
ance, compelled to go home, fully impress
ed with the belief that they had been
sold with the rest 1t appears that there
were several "axes to grind in the contest
this fall, and that the particular axe, in
which the committee felt most interest, was
the removal of the County seat of Carbon
from Mauch Chunk to Lehighton. The
Craigites, however, had their axe first to
the stone, and having succeeded, to a
nicely, Mauch Chunk will continue to be
the capital of the County, and the Lehigh-
tonites be saved the trouble, expense, tur-
moil, confusion, dust and dirt incident to
the erection and completion of public
buildings, for some time to come We
presume they have, by this time, quietly
settled down to the task of swallowing the
sell, and voting for the ticket, the whole
ticket and nothing but the ticket.
