The great sale of army clothing,
and camp and garrison equippage, com.
menced in New York on Tuesday. Over
three million dollars worth of property
was sold, The sale was largely attended
and went off with spirit, but the goods
brought rather low prices. The sale
will realize about onc.quarter the cost
Of the articles.
The London Times says that the
Pope has repeatedly and even very late
ly expressed his firm resolution to abide
at his post, and, indeed, ever since his
return from Gaeta he has made no
mystery Of his aspirations to the crown
of martyrdom, and OF his readiness,
under any pressure of necessity, to take
refuge within those catacombs whence
the church originally came forth trium
phant.
In concluding paper on cotton
spinning machinery, read lefore the
lnstitution of Mechanical Engineers at
Birmingham, Mr.. Platt stated that the
number of spindles now employed in
the cotton manufacture in Great Britain
exceeds 36,000,000. The produce of
yarn when in regular work is $4,000,
600 miles in day of ten hours, which
gives enough to wind four times around
the globe every minute.
"A man in Chicago stole some
money year ago from an acquaintance,
and day or two after confessed the
crime and promised restitution. The
next, day instead OF fulfilling his promise,
he ran away. His wife then procured
a divorce and married the man her hus
band had robbed. On Tuesday she
thicl came back, aud was at once arrest
ed at the instance Of the man who had
taken his wife in payment for the
money ne had stolen.
1t is stated it will cost e., ,400,0
to complete the reconstruction of the
forJi6cations in France, and that the
amount will be voted in FIVE annual
instalments. A French writer adds
that they will cost least another e.
100000 in the general mistrust and
paralysis of trade to which these work.
give rise. BY the time they are com.
pleted the causes which have given rise
to them will probably exist no longer.
In rejoicing over their recent
victories, the Democracy are not vast
ing their strength in idle joy. Every
where, we learn, they are beginning tc
organize for the next contest. This il
well and promises great results in the
future. Our Democratic friends should
sec that their papers are circulated as
far aud wide as possible. We shall be
glad to enter a large numoer more o.
new names to our list before winter
providing they are accompanied with
the cash.
The defeated Radicals, through
their organs in this State, are attempt
ing to treat the election as though il
had not been held--at least they are
raising and threatening to raise con
tests for dozens of Offices for which
they were defeated by the people. They
had better be careful in this matter

TIE NORMAL SCHOOL Some weeks
ago correspondent sert communica>
tion to this paper on the above subject,
suggesting therein a method oil estab-
fishing said institution within the limits
of Elk county. AS yet we have heard
nothing further on the subject, and it
seems to us that our citizens are stand
in their own light in not going immedi-
ately to work aud seeing what can be
done in the matter. We believe the
State appropriation gives. the sum Of
$4,000 for building purposes, aud there
is not township or borough in Elk
county but is able to give the same
amount, thereby making $50, 600, which
when put into a building, would make
an institution which our citizens might
be proud of. Right here in Ridgway
is one OF the most beautiful spots iS'the
State for Normal School. Let our cit,

worth the trial.

Evacuation Of Dutchtowu-City Improve.


Squatterdom in this metropolis is doomed.
The decline in the price of building materials
has stimulated the tendency, rendered inevita-
BILE by the growing population and expanding
business of this city, to push marble stores and
brown stone palaces further and further up
town. Consequently, the little huts and
shanties which our metropolitan squatters have
multiplied and have occupied rent free for
several years past. must disappear. A lively aud
interesting description of that portion Of squat
terdom which covers the sterile and unpro-
ductive rocks in the neghborhood of First and
Second avenues, near Forty-arst street, was
published in yesterdays HERALD, together with
an announcement that the Macs and O's, who
more largely inhabit Dutchtown than its name
might seem to imply, have at length received
legal notice to quit They and their wives
and children, their lares and penates, their pigs
and COWS and goats, must migrate. Their
shanties must be removed or RACED to the
ground, and the places which knew them and
which the foot Of the landowner rarely ventured
to tread will know them no more forever. We
are glad to learn that officer Busted, of the
Yorkville Police Court squad, in serving the
warrants which have summoned large num-
Der Of these poor people to court notifying
them that the hour of their exodus is at hand,
encountered no such resistance to the fat OF
manifest destiny as threatens the danger OF
anything like the anti-rent troubles which once
agitated certain part Of this State, and which
often attends he ejectmcnt Of squatters in the
| mining districts Of the West On the contrary,
our squatters seem quite willing to 'move on
and ask only for little time to fold their tents
and pack up their traps; and it is but reason
able that their modest request should be cheer
fully granted. The warrants in question were
issued in accordance with q law passed in
| 1857, giving property owners the right "to
remove any person or persons who may erect
any hut, shanty or structure on premises be-
| longing to them The Justice before whom
the squatters were summoned required that
each individual served with notice to quit
should give proper security for vacating the
premises, and the fate of the squatters was
sealed. Dutchtown, in Its turn, must disappear
like Nineveh, Baalbec, Babylon and Troy, and

they marched and fought in countless attempts
to fix Grants position, and he always turned
up al last in the place they least wanted him,
and always to the immense satisfaction of the
Northern people. We suspect these radical
attempts will have about the same history.

On His Dignity.

The Rev. Mr.. Bagley, Ia reconstructed divine
from Alabama, if we are not mistakenly, is
at Montreal it appears, endeavoring to get
JEFF Davis to sign a petition to President john
son for pardon but it further appears that
Davis has declined to receive him or discuss
the subject" He stands on his dignity and his
bail bond. Perhaps if Greeley were to call
on him, the champion of the fallen contederacy
and the lost cause' might succumb And
why should not this call be made for in its sue
cess even that diplomatic Canadian fiasco of
Greeley and Jewett with Sanders, Jake Thomp-
son and company, would be enveloped in
blaze of glory.

We are assured, through special despatch
from Washington, that the relations between
the President and Secretary McCulloch are
most pleasant, and have been so since Mr..
McCulloch's first entrance into the Cabinet. We
must conclude, then, that Mr.. johnson has lren
too much occupied for the last year or SO With
the Stanton question to give any attention to
the affairs of the Treasury Department We
can assure The President, however, that il his
relations with the head of the Treasury are
"most pleasant" those of the country Within
are not, and are not likely to be, on the road
that he has chosen and is now travelling.
