Cru MEEEES.

Some men are by nature grumblers,
some acquire the habit by practice,
until it becomes second nature with
them, and some to accomplish selfish
and dishonest ends become perpetual
grumblers.
These classes all seem to be repre-
scented in our prosperous town, and
just at this time are yentilating them
selves in an unusual degree, to their
apparent eminent qualification. The
subject which furnishes them food for
the indulgence of their taste for abuse
is L" corporation" Corporation in all
forms and departments.
The chief complaint, however, now
is, that the books of the corporation
show nothing, and the treasurer has
made no report and can make none
This statement is unqualifedly false,
and is either an intentional falsehood,
or charge made through ignorance.
The books are open for examination at
all times and to all persons, and if any
thing is wrong these grumblers are
welcome to ascertain it. The treasur-
er's boud is ample and he invites in
spection Of the books. The truth is
few of these grumbling patriots took
such action as to delay the collection
Of taxes by the marshal to SO late g
day that it was impossible for him tC
make his return to the treasurer in
time for settlement before the paper
goes to press. The report will make
its appearance in due time and to the
entire satisfaction Of every honest, in
telligent man. This complaint abou
corporation matters is an Outstanding
election eering trick, the only excep
ton to former cases being that it i
pressed with more vigor this year thar
usual. But it won't work, gentlemen
1t has failed heretofore and will ia;
again, and again, and until you become
ashamed to try Ii.

WASHINGTON is to be inflicted this
week with A National Dress Reform
and Equal Rights" convention, in
which DIR. Lydia Somebody and DIR.

Ellen, Maria, Jane, Clementine, and

saUanS, are to take an active part. III
Washington were not so accustomed to
the presence of congressman, depart
ment officials, and officoseekers, she
would have the earnest commiseration
of the world. As it is, the capital will
not be seriously affected, and Boston
has reason to congratulate herself thai
the female reformists have turned the
cold shoulder upon her.
The call Of the conven ton shows al
once the object-the wearing Of the
breaches. This is made Synonymous
with the doctrine Of woman's Rights
No particular effort will be made tc
change such a state of affairs as has
been recently shown up in Boston
where the slavery of white women i.
certainly more abject than the slavery
of black men ever was in the south

that will lead to the Acknowledgement

CORPORATION ELECTION.

We wish to call the especial atten-
ton of those interested to the notice OF
convention published to-day, and to
the election to be held on Monday
next.
While this is only a corporation,
and seemingly, unimportant election,
we regard it as of much Importance
and think every democrat should so re-
gard it. \ cunning. well devised and
powerful combination has been formed
to secure control of the corporation and
under false guise place it in the hands
of radicals. The town is democratic
by over 100 majority, and it would be
disgraceful to permit ourselves to be
duped and defeated while We have
such majority. The convention is
called at convenient hour and with
full notice. Every democrat can be
heard, and II any fancy themselves
aggrieved the proper place to make
complaint is in the convention. We
can, and of course, will nom mate a
good ticket. one composed Of honest,
competent men, in whose hands We can
safely trust the interests of the corpo-
ration. After discharginS this duty,
then let us proceed to elect it by our
full majority, and thus say to the radi-
Gals of this town that when we desire
their assistance in our party affairs we
will notify them.
We earnestly hope our democratic
friends will give this matter the atten-
ton its Importance demands, and thus
preserve the prestige, unity and power
of our party.

Eighteen miles above Yorktown on

Ere this reaches you you will doubt
less have heard OF the fate Of the I'M
fortunate steamer, Antelope. She was
burned between / and o'clock yester-
day morning; and sad to tell, two un-
fortunate beings persisted amid the
flames. We landed her and wooded
just after dark: and tied up to wait un-
til morning. We then retired to our
places of rest for the night. Little
after | o'clock the alarm of fire was
given. jumped up and stepped to
the stern Of the boat and saw the
flames just beginning to reach the hind
end of the cabin. [ returned and
awakened my bedfe!lows and drew on
my boots and overcoat, picked up my
carpet sack and stepped to the forward
end Of the boat, thinking that | would
help put the fire out, but on reaching
the forward end ] saw the cabin pas
sengers rushing down, and seeing that
all must be lost, | fastened back to
secure my bed, but finding 1t gone |
thought to secure my rifle, but finding
it gone, l endeavored to save my tool
chest, but being unable to carry both it
and my carpet sack, l ran out with my
carpet sack and was obliged to lose
that which was left.
In the meantime all was excitement
on shore. Persons were running to
and fro inquiring for their friends and
as to their safety. 1t was soon asccr-
tanned that the chambermaid. colored
woman, and Frenchman were missing
A doctor on board was badly burned
about the face and hands, but it is
hoped not fatally. The doctor stated
that he was unable to pass out through
the door and escaped by breaking
through window that another man
endeavored to follow him, but became
sufocated by the smoke and fire and
dropped to the floor. This was doubt
less the Frenchman. From all that
could be learned concerning the cham
BERNARD, was that one of the negroes
kicked the door open, and that she
gave "a scream, and he supposed she
got up, but that she did not hurry out
as soon as she should, and thereby was
lost
In less than three minutes after the
alarm Of fire it was unsafe for any per-
son to 90 on board the boat. The
cause of the fire was occasioned as fol-
lows: A number of cans filled with
coal oil were setting on the upper deck
and some of them commenced leaking
and spread until the oil reached the
stove2ipe and ignited. Some of the
passengers had placed their money il
keeping of the clerk, and by its loss
were left in des titute con dition.

Too Much of the Niger.

1t is reported that Clay, the aristo-
cratic " gemman of COLOR" of New
Orleans, appointed minister to Liberia,
and Professor Bassett (colored), Of
Philadelphia, appointed minister to
Hayti, have each declined the honor.
This is so very curious that most peo-
pie will ask why have these blacks de-
clined these high official distinctions
We suspect that the true reasons are
that they prefer to stay among white
people; that they recoil from the idea
Of living in community where there
is nothing but niggers that for Clay
there is too much of the niger in LII,
IBERIA, and for Bassett too much of the
niger in Hayti. Even in the old
slavery times, between slavery with all
its drawbacks IN the United States ,and
freedom with all its advantages in Lii

clined Liberia for this simple season
