FAIR fIIr.

Senator "Zack" Chandler, who Is
not always in the best oftaste, perpe-
trated a really capital joke the other
day, by the introdu ,,ion of the follow
ing joint resolution:
WHEREAS, We are at peace with
all Sovereign Powers and States:
Aad wircas, Hostilities have un-
happily commenced between the Gov
ernmcnt of Great Britain and the
King of Abyss;nio;
AMI wherea', We being at peace
with the Government of Grant Britain
and with the King of Abyssinia;
therefore,
Resolvcd, That we do now declare
our determination to maintain strict
and impartial neutrality in the contest
between the said contending parties,
granting to the flag ofeach belligerent
the same rights privileges and immu-
mites, both upon land and water.
The above is a verbatim copy Of d
proclamation issued on the 18th Of
May, 1861, simply changing the name
of the "United States" to "Great
Britain" and the Confederate States"
to "Abyssinia." Mr.. Chandler thinks
it only Just and right that we should
observe the same courtesy towards
Great Bitain that she did toward us.
The resolution went over under the
rule.

volumes price. There is no other
miracle Of cheapness in comparison
with its cost which at all approaches
it. The Electric Telegraph has per-
cluded the MULTIPLICATION of journals
in the great cities, by enormously in
creasing the cost of publishing each of
them. The Tribune, for example, now
pays more than 100000 per annum,
for intellectual labor reporting in
cludedD in and about its office, and
100000 more for correspondence and
telegraphing-in other words, for col
lecting and transmitting news. And,
while its income has been largely in
creased from year to year, its expenses
have inevitably been swelled even
more rapidly ; so that, at the close of
1866, in which its receipts had been
over 100000, its expenses had been
very nearl y equal in amount, leaving
no profit beyond a fair rent for the
premises it owned and occupied. And
yet its stockholders were satisfied that
they had done good business-that
the increase nthe patronage and value
OF the establishment amounted to a
fair interest on their investment, and
might well be accepted in lieu of a
dividend. In the good time coming,
with cheaper paper and less exorbitant
charges of "cable dispatches" from the
Old World, they will doubtles reap
where they have faithfully sown. Yet
they realize and accept the fact that a
journal radically hostile to the gainful
arts whereby the cunning and power
full few live sumptuously without use
ful labor, and often amass wealth, by
pandering to lawlcss sensuality and
popular vice, can never hope TO enrich
Its publishers so rapidly nor so vastly
as though it had a soft side for Liquor
Traffic, and for all kindred allurements
to carnal appetite and sensual indul,
gence.
famc Is vapor popularity an
accident riches takes wings the only
earthly certainty is oblivion-no man
can torsee what a day may bring forth
and those who cheer to-day will often
curse Tomorrow; and yet l cherish
the hope that the journal l projected
and established will live and flourish
long after l shall have moldered into
forgotten dust, being guided by alargcr
wisdom, more nnerring sagacity to
discern the right, though not by
more unlaltering readiness to embrace
and defend it at whatever personal
cost and that the stone which covers
my ashes may bear to future eyes the
still Ineligible inscription, "Founder
Of The NEW York tribune"

WE ARE NOT DEAD.

That excellent paper, the State
Guard, recently started williamsburg,
has the following: Some of our
Democratic cotemporarics are laboring
under an hallucination. They have
seen an apparition, and are dcluIcd
with the idea that victory to them,
like Ham'eFs fathers ghost, has come
within the range of their vision for
the purpose of revealing some dread
full secret, and the secret is that the
Republican party is dead. Mr.
Andrew johnson is imbucd with the
same idea. He too, labors under an
hallucnation. He has flattercd him
self that the result Of the late elections
killed the Republican party. But
the organs Of Democracy, as well as
their tool, the President, are sadly
mistaken, for the reason that there is
as much vitality, faith, principle and
patriotism in the Republican, purity as
when that organization stood out
boldly and alone in the defence of this
Government. There is no denying
the fact that the elements of Ropubi-
canism are now working out the sal
vation Of the South. Nor can there
be any escape from the truth that the
same party has fostered the mcchani-
cal enterprise and commercial energy
of the North. The late elections were
no indication Of popular feeling on any
question at present at issue between
loyal men and traitors, so far as their
effects could interfere for or against
the settlement of such issues. No
officer was elected in the Northern
States who will have any power in
the settlement Of these questions, and
in many cases the men who felt most
solicitous on the subject of rcconstruc-
tion Were the most Indifferent as to
the result of the elections. But such
was not the case with our Democratic
opponents. They are hungry for po-
litical power. They wanted some sort
ofa show of victory, and stole a march
on our friends, which they now vaunt
as triumph. Of course they are
welcome to their Boosting, if that is all
they need to make them happy. BIT
we desire they do not mistake the con-
dition fthe Republican party. 1t is
a live organization. Free Govern
ment never had purer representative.
Justice was never more subserved by
any political organization. Treason
never had so invinciblc an opponent.
To the contrary, it is life and health
and prosperity. Without it, liberty
would not to-day have an abiding !
place in the United States. 1t saved
the Union, and is destined to purify |
the executive branch Of the Govern
ment. Hereafter, when great princi-
pies are at stake, the Republican party |
will win great political victories. This
is a fact which the Democracy should
not fail seriously to consider, as it may
save them large amount Of means, a
great deal Of labor, and incalculable
modification.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Statement OF Secretary McCuiioch.

IT is worth notice, remarks the
"Trihunc," that the incessant clamor
against Congress as reckless, proscrip-
tive, revolutionary, &c, is based on
acts that Congress has never sanction
ed. Mr.. Stevens makes q Confista-
tion speech, which not neother Mem
Der of Congress has seconded yet the
country rings with denunciation of it
as showing the malignant animus of
"the Radicals" So with project after
project which Congress has listened to,
because it must, but refused to adopt.
We challenge History for another in
stance wherein triumphant Nation
has dealtso forbcaringly witha crushed
Rebellion as ours has done.

FEN AT HOME.


Don't be afraid of little funat home,
good people Don't shut up your
house lest the sun should fade your
carpets, and your hearts, lest a hearty
laugh shake down some of the musty
old cobwebs there. If you want to
ruin your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, when
they come home at night. When once
a home is regarded as only place to
cat, drink and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling houses
and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere; if they do not find it at
their hcarthstones, it will be sought at
other and perhaps less profitable
places. Therefore let the CRATE burn
brightly at night, and make the home
stead delightful with all those little
arts that parents so perfectly under
stand. Don't repress the buoyant
spirit of your children. Half an
hour of merriment, round the lamp
and freight of a home, blots out the
remembrance Of many care and an
noyance during the day; and the best
safeguard they can take with them
into the world is the unseen influence
Of a bright little domestic sanctum.

BANKRUPT LAW.

Two hundred and twenty-six cases
in bankruptcy have been filed up to
Nov. 10th in the Western U. S. Judi
cial District. In the 9th Congress
sional District thirteen cases have been
filed, eight of which are in Washing
ton county, three in Greene and two
in Beaver.
There is unnecessary delicacy and
hesitancy in some debtors in availng
themselves. oft wise benefits lin most
cases) of this law, 1t is a Just and
proper law in the main and should
have been passed years ago. We give
below answers to important questions
connected with the law, from an ex-
change
Who may take adcantage Of this law q?
Amy person or firm who owes debts
to the amount of three hundred dollars
or upward, whether they be Individual
or partnership debts or both, and it
makes no difference what is the charac-
ter of the Indebtedness, whether it b.
by bill, note, account, judgment, as
principal, or surety, or otherwise.
What does the law demand Of the ap-
plicant? -
That he shallsurrcnder his property,
except such as is hereafter mentioned,
to his creditors, for pro rata distribu-
tim among them. .,
What does the law permit the appH-
cant to keep
First-Household and kitchen fur
nitur and necessaries to the amount of
$500.
second-Thc wearing apparel of
himself and family.
Third-Thc uniform. arms and
equipments of any person, who is, or
has been, a soldier in the militia or the
service of the United States.
Fourth-If the applicant is the
head of a family, his homestead, to the
value of $500. If he has no home
stead, then in lieu thereof, money or
other personal property to the value of
$500.
If the applicant has only SO much
property as is above enumerated of
course he has nothing to give up to
his creditors.
The result Of taking the benefit of
this law is a discharge from all indebt-
edness. In cases where there is no
contest, it requires from sixty to nine
ty days to procure this discharge.
This law went into operation on the
first day of June, 1861, and persons
who propose to avail themselves of its
advantage should do so as soon as pos
sible, as they cannot do so after one
year from its commencement, unless
they can pay fifty cents on the dollar

sent of.a majority in number and val
