THE NoRFHERN ELEcTIoNs.-The
Democratic party has been defeated in
all the States in Which elections were
held on the 18th inst, Indiana and
Iowa went Republican by their usual
heavy majorities. Ohio elected Hayes,
Republican, for Governor by a supposed
majority of 10000 over Hon Geo. Il,
Pendleton, the Democratic candidate.
The Legislature elected is supposed to
be Democratic by trifing majority,
enough however, to render the defeut of
the fifteenth, or universal suffrage amend
ment, extremely probable. Pennsylva-
MIA reelected the present Republican
Governor, Geary, over Packer, Demo
crat, by three or four thousand majority.
We had halfway looked for differ

saw in Northern Democratic papers.
But our expectations. were not high, as
We have been deceived before.

u. To the Editor ef the Orangebury
Ne,os DEAR Sir /: There is disease
that is very rapidly spreading through
out our County, and from the rapidity of
lite spreading. we are to infer that it is
contagious MS we'll as alarming. This
disease is that of stealing and selling cot
ton in the seed. There arc not only in
some parts Of this county, but in all
parts. crowd of low-life, dirty rogucs,
who thirst more by far whiskey than
water, and in order to satisfy this thirst
they go into the neighboring fields Of the
unfortunate cotton planter while he is
asleep at night, and pick his cotton,
sometimes in very large quantities. I'm
fortunately, in many settlements there
are some "shop keepers" who want the
planters cotton as badly as the thieves
want the whiskey, aud in order TO get
this stolen cotton they always have on
hand "good (Y) old corn or rye" to bar
ter for the cotton, and strange to say,
from the time of night that the cotton is
taken to these shop keepers to trade, we
are left to infer that the buyer would
prefer trading at late hour in the night.
In some portions of this county the
planters have attempted to prevail upon
the shop keepers not to buy cotton in the
seed. They have attempted 10 show to
them the imprcpriety there is in this
trade, which holds out u very strong
temptation to those who are little in
clined to be slippery fingered,
The only consolation these planters
have received is something to this effect,
that they, Ohe shop keepers,) pay Ii
cense, and that they will buy the cotton,
not caring or asking bow she seller got it.
This reply was not altogether unexpect-
ed, for these planters had n!roady drawn
a natural inference that, as tuese buyers
did buy the seed cotton at night, giving
about twothird the value of said cotton,
and at the same time paying for it in
whiskey at tremendous profit, they
were no better than the thieves them
selves.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the disease has been
mentioned, what do you propose to the
farmers and planters as remedy? I
would suggest that every one keep an
eye on these seed cotton sellers end buy
ersr and bring some of them to the bar
of justice, the moment q clue can be had
that will send them to the Peniteptiary.
Probably a year or so cracking stones
would help these chaps through the.
world q little faster, Let every one Of
Us unite our efforts and rid our county
of this io,e-liie, roguiahl, lq,oIess band so
that Raaea'and. prosperity may reign 10
their stead

Purchasing Association. 81 9

Mr.. EDIToR--I suppose you are get
ting tired of .Chis" aud the subject Of
| cooperation, if SO why just let him
know it BY saying so. Ifaol then give
him little space to ventilate again.
1t is generally supposed that our citi-
zons understand the object aud benefits
to be derived from an Association OF this
kind, and are ready to organize by this
tune. Tosseertain this fact, suppose you
open n list ut your Office and see how
many will sign it. IF sufficient num-
ber will sign, then we can organize and
proceed with the Association this is the
speediest WY to facilitate this scheme,
don't you think So?
Surely the industrious of our people
have given this subject their serious con-
siderationiby this time. ..a
TO those ~ho have to pay high .rcnf,
we would say, reflect, consider the amount
.hht yoa pay yearly to your landlord and
see how .soon you pay sufficient amount
to purchase for yourself and family a
comfortable home. s.s.0H... a..
To those who desire TO improve their
property, I would say invest your money
in this Association, you will get good in
terest on it, and in few months you will
have accumulated sufficient amount to
improve aud enhance the value of your
property, aud at the samo time be assisi-
ing your neighbor and your Town.
Tot who desire to put their money
to good interest, and benefit to the indus
trious working man, would say invest
it in this Association.
To those who want certain amount
Of capital at a certain date, would say
invest your small amounts monthly in
this Association aud you will have it. 3.
pc And to those who have vacant lots in our
Town and to those who have idle lauds
in the country, would say, dispose Of it
tn this Association at reasonable price,
aud y2u Will see the waste places of our
country build up, aud by men who will
stay with us, aud always be amongst us.
Open thc list, Mr.. Editor at your
Office and letus effect this organization,
aud IL will rebound to the interest of our
county. See the almost daily accounts
where the homeless have s. cured homes,
aud consider what it is 10 have home.
n Yours, Z 7d' f9 CHS.
I'm reply to .Chis," we will say that
we are not at all tired Of him, or his sub
ject. We commend his letter to our
readers. We will prepare such list ut
our Office aud invite persons interested to
call and sign it.-ED.l
