Earle is in trouble again and accu-
SEES us of stealing his locals without
giving him credit therefor. Not SO,
for his supply is always too limited to
allow Of successful pilfering, and be-
sides we can do better. But while
your honesty is on, why not give prop
er credit for the greater part of your
editorials ?-Erpress.
We never accused you of stealing
our locals" although it is true that
such has been your constant practice
for months. We merely said that
some" editors did so, and had goa
not been guilty you never would have
took so easily. As the coat was such
an exact fit it had to set where we
meant it should. You say "not so"
We will instance one out of a hun
dred. Where did you get your notice
that the State Teachers Association
was to be held in Barton-a local of
some forty lines, and which was al
most entirely in the language of this
paper and which was so barefaced
a theft as to excite comment from all
who saw it. Were it proper to beat
cripple with his own crutch' we
might procure proof that would make
you vince, and which so shameless a
liar as you dare not deny. You ask
why we do not give proper credit fol
the editorials in this paper. For the
very good reason that they are all or
iginal. We either write them ourself
or pay for other brains But 10,
are assisted By no coPperhead as some
of our republican brethren are! Pa

George F. Rich, of Reading-one Of
the trpest of the true-in one respect
at least. He is the owner of a COW
from which was made from the first
of May last until some time in JAN
'uary over 300 pounds of butter, this
COW being his sole possession in the
bovine line. And beside this, he rails
ed calf from her, used cream liber-
ally in their cooking, and milk for his
family, included in the latter being an
infant child brought up On bottle.
The milk from this COW was too rich
for this infant, and Mr.. Rich had to
exchange one quart per day with a
neighbor, This neighbor, noticing
the unusual amount of cream they got
from so small quantity of milk, set
this milk, by itself for one week, and
from that seven quarts of milk made
lbs. IA ozs. of good solid butter.
Some of this milk set by itself until
the cream had all risen, and then
skinned, diminished one half, proving
to have been that proportion cream
This is large story, but every wore
of it can be proved true by as reliable
people as can be found in any towI

or any other fancy stock, are invited
to equal this COW of native breed
which has had no extra keeping, ex
cept good pasturing.-Argus.

A CARD.-Many thanks to friends
in Irasburgh, who for the last four
months have been comforting their
free-will offerings upon US with liberal
hands. When after boarding for some
ten months, we resumed housekeeping;

ticles of living freely furnished is
evidence to US that we live among a

Tho Board of Registration for Ohio
county met at the Court House on yes
terdsy for the purpose of examining the
books asreturned by the Township Reg.
istrars. Several applications for regis
tration were made, but the Board de-
cided to postpone all such until October
9TH. Upon that day, the Board will
hear the applications of persons desir-
ing their names enrolled. 1t is proper
to state that such names as were regis
tered for the first time, last January, are
not now upon tho lists, the Registrars
not having used the city reglstra-
tiOn in making up their returns. Every
man who was registered for the first
time, just before the last municipal
election, should apply to the Board on
the 9th of October, and have his name
re-regis.ered. Many who cast their
first votes at that election supposed that
their names would appear upon the
lists at the coming election, but such is
not the case, for the reason stated, that
the books of the city were not copied by
the Township Registrars.

From the New Orleans Picayune, Sept. l3.
Remarkable Woman.

In low, tumbled down building in
the old Faubourg st. Mary, reeking
with perpetual damps, and with the
mould of nearly century on its roof,
lives an old woman whose career is one
of the most remarkable in the history of
New Orleans. Once brilliant and beau
tiful. she yet retains traces, though
dimmed and fading, Of that exquisite
lovelness which made her the belle and
leader of fashion in her native city. An
only child, born to immense wealth and
educated in every accomplishment
which the most learned European semi
nary could supply, at eighteen she shons
upon the world of fashion here, without
a rival. Courted and flattered, with in
Vulnerable suitors, she discarded the ad-
vances of men, and appeared only anX-
ious to enjoy the society III which she
moved so conspicuous and brilliant an
ornament. But it was not destined for
her 10 ruus;a 1t a.. said that no wo-
man can exist without loving, and she
proved no exception to the generality OF
her sex. Her attachmentw was, however,
unworthily bestowed and lamentable in
its results. Passionate and jealous, she
unfortunately found in her husband too
much cause for their indulgence. Neg.
lected, her love turned to hate-scorned,
her resentment was inplacabls. In
moment of fierccly stimulated passion,
she abandoned her home and friends,
and shortly afterward appeared at a for
eign court in that most disreputable OF
all characters, female adventures.
But if her calling was disgraceful her
career was distinguished. She became
the ruling spirit that guided and con-
trolled the actions Of monarchy. At her
nod brilliant meteors faded from the
galaxy of fashion, and armies swept over
hostile borders. But revolution arose
in the land, and she became the inmate
of prison. Escaping thence by the
leniency of those who dashed the Bour-
bon Charles from power, she next ap-
peared as the minion of an Indian Rn-
iah. Her name is yet abhorred by the
matrons of English India, and little
children are taught to scorn the impious
treason of her example. Bnt as her
years grew on apace her beauty waned,
and then came loss of power. Spurned
By the virtuous and hated by the court,
wanderer of many years, she came
back to her native land. Her friends
were dead-the memory of her carly
triumphs had passed away. She stood
a solitary wreck in the city of her birth
amidst the ruins of her life. None knew
hcr-uone would. Scorned by the good
and feared by the bad, she has led u her.
mits life. Sometimes old cronies will
come and gossip with her; at others
yoa,h will pause to wonder at the wreck
that time has wrought. But recoilec-
ton still stirs her heart, and from
the shadowy ais!es ef memory comes
smiles and tears to beam or darkcn on
| her face

PeuusyIyania.

To this State the eyes of the country
are now turned. Each party claims it
for itself, and both are struggling des-
perately to make good its claim. Penn
sylvania, once Democratic State, for
many years has been carried by the Re-
publicans by large majorities. Last
year the Democrats made a vigorous
fight under the guidance Of most et1i-
cient Executive Committee. The re-
suit was the election of the Democratic
candidate tor Justice of the Supreme
Court by 927 majority, the total vote of
the State bein% 62,795 less than that of
the previous year. Now comes the
question, which party will secure next
month majority of these nearly 10000
votes! But there are other questions
to be decided by the canvass which
are of more Importance than
the choice of State officers;
they are the election of repre-
sentatives in Congress and State Leg
islature, which latter is to choose a
United States Senator in place of Hon.
Charles X. Buckalew, whose term of
office will expire on the 4th of March
next. In the present House of Repre-
sentatives the Pennsylvania delegation
is politically divided thus: Democrats,
6; Radicals. Is. At the election last
wear the Democrats carried all the di--
tricts which they carried in ls6G and
four more, besides pressing the Radicals
so closely in another district (the Tenth)
that the result was tie vote. They
have, therefore, reasonable grounds for
expecting to elect ten and perhaps
eleven of their candidates for Congress
men, and thus secure a more honest rep
resentation on the floor of the House of
Representatives than it has had in sew
eral years.
Ali the information that has reached
us concerning the progress of the cam
paigu in this State is full of encourage
meat. The Democrats have been and
are working with commendable vigor
and discretion. Their forces are well
officered and thoroughly drilled; and
unless some unexpected event occurs
during the next three and half weeks,
they will march over the fields on the
18th of October, and at nightfall rejoice
with their comrades in other States over
the redemption of the Keystone State,
and the consequent triumph of the en-
tire Democratic party in November

THE QUESTION BEFORE
THE PEOPLE.
Shall the Thousands Of Mil.
lions Of Property In U. 3.
Bonds Go Exempt
from Taxation!
The Republican Party Says
YeS-The Democratic
Party Says No!

The New York Herald (Ind.) closes an
article on the finances as follows:
The same newspaper organs and cam.
paign speakers that make Figures lie"
in order to blind the public and to help
their own political party are opposed to
the bondholders being taxed, and labor
necessarily to force specie payments, SO
that the wealth OF the bondholders may
be increased thirty to forty per cent.
They look only at that interest, and
lose sight of the crushing burden of the
debt upon the industrious classes. They
demand payment in gold for bonds
which cost on an average only about
fifty cents on the dollar. The bond
holders are drawing six per cent. inter
est in gold upon the original investment
of fifty cents, which amounts in reality
to twelve per cent. on the dollar, or
fourteen to fifteen per cent. in currency.
The exemption of the bonds from ma
tional and State taxation favors the
bondholders to the amount of five per
cent. probably on their investments, as
compared with the burden every other
kind of property S to bear. Thus We
see the b0pdholders are making about
TWENTY PER CENT. in all on til capt.
tai originally inreSted in the bonds.
Yet the bondholders and their organs
cry out reputation, national dishonor
and all sorts of evils when it is proposed
to tax the bonds. They hold up the
law and the constitution as a defence
and entreuch themselves behind these.
They are grasping and selfish, and care
sot who bears the enormous burdens OF
the country if they can escape. But
why should not those who are drawing
so much from the government help to
sustain iti Why should not this kind
of property bear fair proportion OF the
public burden, both national and Statei
1t was never intended by the trainers OF
the constitution or makers OF the law
that they should not. If there appears
to be difficulty in the decisions of the
Supreme Court against States taxing
national securities, or in the laws OF
Congress exempting the bonds from di-
rect federal taxation, the bondholders
can be reached in some other way. 1he
people ofthis country ,cill nerer consent to
hare such rdst amount Of ,ceath exempt
from taration while they Themselves are
heartily bMdened, particularly as the bond
holders are drdwing enormous profits nom
the Treasury on their Investments. Con-
gress must devise some plan to reach
this privileged class, to equalize the
burdens of the country and to satisfy
the people.
