THE following paragraph is an ex-
tract from the address just printed by
the Union State Committee of Pa:
general apathy, caused by an APP
parent failure 10 appreciate the impor-
lance of the contest, is the primary
cause OF our defeat. Besides this, we
had local difficulties and side issues to
contend against, sufficient of themselves
TO destroy US. We lost votes in many
places by reason of the legislation Of
last session, and on the apprehension
OF negro suffrage; and what Is known
a. tide Suuday-car question. and by
sundry frauds. And worse than all
these, our friends there nominated a
ticket for city officers not acceptable to
the people, mainly because it had no
soldiers upon it. The soldiers them
selves, TO their credit be it recorded,
stood up manfully TO their principles,
and voted with us as heretofore. But
large numbers of their friends would
moi support the ticket; and in every
RePu 0lican precinct in the city there
We're from fifteen to one hundred and
fifty of our friends who refused TO vote.
Thus we lost Philadelphia, and conse-
qusnIly the State.'

HORACE GREELEY, in his Ledger
"Recoilec.ions," speaking of the time
ne commenced in the printing bust
ness, says: ~ tried Mr.. James Connor,
the extensive type founder, in Ann
street, but he, after hearing me patient
Iy, decided not to credit me six months
for the $40 worth of type that wanted,
and he did right. My exhibit did not
justify my request. I went directly
then to Mr.. George Bruce, The older
and Gealthier founder, in Cham Ders
street, made the same exhibit and was
allowed by him the credit asked; and
that purchase has since secured TO his
concern the sale OF not less than $4,000
worth of type"

AN instance of connubial Affection is
narrated as occurring lately in New
Hampshire. A couple had quarreled
during the whole long term of their
married life. AT last the husband was
taken i'll, and evidently about to die.
His wife came to his bedside, where,
after she had seen his condition, the
following colloquy ensued:
"wy, daddy, your feet are cold, and
your hands are cold, and your nose is
coId!"
"Wa'al, let um be coldr"
"wy, daddy, you're goin' to die ~
"R a'al, 1 guess 1 know wot I'm
bout"
IVY, daddy, wut's to becum of me ii
you die?"
"Dunno, and don't care! Wat want
TO know is, tCdt'S to GeeUm Of 'ne9"

THE veteran Observer" of the New
York Times, notices the following
"curious facts" in the election in Ohio.
He snys:
II Democrats or Conservatives think
that Ohio does not support Congress to
the last title, and more, il necessary,
they are only preparing themselves for
little disappointment. When the
election comes, as 1t will next year
without isms, the Democracy will be
overwhelmingly defeated, and much OF
Il by men whom they count upon to
help them. If they look into the actual
returns of the election they will dis
cover some curious facts. not all salts
factory to themselves. Fer example
If there was any decision against Radi-
Gals you should find il surely in Ash
ley's and Shellabarger's districts-the
two most Radical men in the Ohio dele
CATION, and neither of them in
the Western Reserve. But, what
is the fact? These very men are
relatively better sustained than any
others by their constituents! Notwith-
standing the remarkable majority OF
1850 in Franklin county, yet Shelln-
barger's district gave "A Republican ma
toritY. So with AshIey's district. No
the great falling of is on the river
Ohio and The SOuih-fOr reasons wen
known TO everybody familiar with the
population. There is no more loyal,
patriotic people in the State than in the
districts OF Messrs. Clarke, Wilson and
Plants, which will be fully made
known in the presidential election; yet,
these are the districts which fell Off the
most on account OF their invincible
prejudice against negro Suffrage; which,
by the way, they are quite willing
should prevail in the South, and will
vote TO keep there. That is not log
ical. What of 1t? What has logic to
ests ?"

Mr.. JAS. PARTON writes to the 7Ii-
bune that Mr.. Macmillan, the London
publisher, recently assured company
of American authors and publishers
that if there had been an information
al copyright treaty in force between
England and the U. s. during the
last twenty years, Mr.. Longfellow
would have received under it FAC, 600,
equivalent to more than $3.50, 600 of our
present currency. Mr.. Parton adds +:
HE made this statement deliberately,
and authorized me If ever / made ii
public, to support it with his name and
authority"

II is asserted, in an address ITO the
Women OF Kansas" that one great OBJ
stacle that the advocates OF female suf-
frage have to contend with, is the de.
claration on thepart of many good and
sensible women that they do not want
to vote. The effort is now making by
the advocates OF female suffrage to con-
vert the women of that State to the
doctrine. We incline TO think that will
prove more difficult than to convert the
men

-PoLICE.-Clark McAllister drove out TO
our fair grounds, yesterday, and ordered Lee
Rodgers, colored man who was standing
near Che gate leading to the track, q open
it for him. Rodgers, not being gate keeper,
declined, when Clark jumped out and as
saulted him. Magistrate Connolly fined
McAllister So and costs, amounting to Sl4
AN all, which he paid. ~
This is above the average of fines for such
cases, and the friends of McAllister do not
see why he should have been fined heavier
for hitting niger than he would have been
fined for hitting w.hise man under the
same circumstances but the Union attacks
Magistrate Connolly because he did not
make the fine heavier, and also attacks him
because he fined George Green (colored) for
getting up q fuss with George Moses, on
Sunday If Mr.. Moses had been Q niger
the Union would have found fault because
either of them were fined. To fine Niger
at all or not to fine a white man to the last
extremity of the law, is q henious offense in
the eyes of the Union. Magistrate Connel-
ly knows no difference on account of color,
but treats all alike. ea 20
:. The Union evidently thinks a niger is
better than white man, and that any white
man who kicks niger ought to be fined
much more heavily than if he had kicked a
white man. Magistrate Connolly don't take
that view of the case, but treats all alike. --
The Union characterizes the Moses affair
as ''murderous assault" and says "Moses
struck him the negro a blow on the head
with a billet of wood, which might have kill
ed fairer-s1inned and thinner-skulied indi-
vidual." This is not true. There was no,
testimony that he struck him-on the head at
all, nor did his head show any evidence of
being hit. When Green jumped off his.
horse and looked for a stone to throw, then
Moses hit him on the hand with a Stick
This, certainly, was not q very Amurderous
assault" The fact is that the niger went
to Aoses's house to get up a fuss, and made
an attempt at the first assault, and if any
distinction was to be made, he should have
been fined the most. "a
The "free Americans of African DESCENT

ly's court, and will be placed upon an equal
