PAY Upi PAY Upf

Since the first of January, we have sent
out number of bills of Indebtedness to us
for subscription, advertising and job. work.
To those who have so promptly responded
to our request in remittng, we return our
sincere thanks. A large number have not as
yet given us any reply. We desire that they
should do so, as we are in need of the
amount due US. Contemplating making
Improvements, in few weeks, for the bene-
fit of our patrons, we necessarily must have
the means to do it with. And as we ask no
more than that which belongs to us, to ac'
complsh our object, and at the same time
offer the AMERICAN, with improvements, at
reduced rates, we trust that none will look
to his neighbor to pay first, but at once
remit to US the amount due, so that we can
carry out our contemplated improvements

NEW YoRK. Feb. %. 1869

NEW YORK, Feb. ~, 1862
The reticence, or rather the reserve and
prudence of Gen. Grant, in keeping his own
counsel, in regard to his cabinet appoint
ments, greatly annoys not only many anx.
ious office seekers but many of the opposi-
tion journals, who, not being able to find
fault with the policy of the new President,
are trying to persuade themselves and their
party that Gen. Grant has no sympathy with
his Republican friends, and is not disposed
to consult them in regard to the formation
of his cabinet on tue policy Of his admins
tration. All this is mere balderdash, and is
not warranted By anything that lie has said
or done. Gen. Grants action in this matter
10 in accordance with all his acts during the
progress of the laws. He is man not of
words but of deeds, and does not deem it
necessary to let the world know what he
intends doing until the proper time arrives
One thing is pretty certain, the General will
never consult his political enemies in regard
to the policy he should pursue, or the ap,
pointments he should make. If he was even
disposed to turn traitor to his friends, the
fate of Andrew johnson would be a suffi-
cient warning to keep him from such eyre.
gious folly. 1t is not surprising that those
patriotic Democratic journals, that denoun-
ced him as a butcher and drunkard, for
Furnishing the rebels during the war, and
who fawned upon him afterwards, when
they thought he could be used as their can.
didate, should again assail him for adhe-
ring 10 the true principles of the government
as proclaimed by Jefferson and Jackson, and
go utterly ignored by the modern Democra-
cy, both north and south.
New York city, just now, is about as dirty
as it we'll can be. Business is fair and the
prospects are favorable.
Among the modern hobbies that occur
periodically, is the velocipede Having
heard so much about it in the papers, was
anxious to see this wonderful new mode of
lOcomo;ion, and was gratifed, yesterday, by
accidentally getting into one of the schools,
where quite number of young gentlemen
we're practicing on large basement floor.
Several OF them were expert and could run
once around the angles of the room, with
both legs up, moved only by the momentum
previously given-while Others, less expert
enced, would come down with their nags on
TO the floor. 1t was curious to see how
easily an experienced rider could balance
himself and move at the rate of 2.4O, as il
were, astride of shaft, with one in from
and behind him. The wheels are very ligh
and about four feet in diameter.

FROM ENGLAND.

LONDON, Feb. a0.-The failure in the
United States Senate to ratify the treaty
recently concluded between Clarendon and
Reverdy johnson, for the settlement of the
Alabama claims, has elected the following
comments from the London journals of this
morning;
The STANDARD Conservative regrets the
rejection of the convention after the protrac.
ted and labnrious negotiations. Advances
for new treaty must come from the United
States. England is now untettered from
concessions, and will only treat hereafter on
terms of absolute equality.
The Times says the present treaty has tes
tilted the amity Of England, and its failure
does not endanger the friendly relations be
tween the two countries, but will rather
serve as warning in arranging the points
of u new convention.
The Post Conservative regrets the reiec-
tion of the treaty only on account of the
delay it will occasion in the restoration OF
friendly relations between Great Britain and
the United States.

card in the papers of this city to day, deny
ing the story that has been extensively cir

made speech sympathizing with the
Greeks in the matters at issue between
Greece and Turkey. He calls attention to
the fact that the policy OF America has al
ways been that of non.interference with
European political affairs, and atfirms thai
this is and has always been his policy.

By the above notice of II. B. MAssER,
Esq, it will be seen that have purchased
the establishment of the SuNBURY AMERI.
CAN, and have become its proprietor. Hav-
Ing been connected with the Office for many
years, commencing in 1S45 as an apprentice,
afterwards as publisher and now as proprie-
tor, shall not appear to its patrons as
stranger. 10 the present change of proprie-
tors, there will be no change of opinions in
the control of the paper, which frequently
occurs, when change of proprietors takes
place. The AMERICAN will continue to
maintain the same principles that it has
advocated the last twenty eight years, under
the control of my predecessor, and will con-
t!nue to be live paper, advocating progress
and improvement. The politics OF the
AMERICAN will continue to be Republican,
believing as do, that upon the success of
these principles depends the future peace
and prosperity Of the country, while in other
respects it will be conducted 80 as to make
1t an acceptable and popular weekly visitor
to all it's patrons. 1t is also my intention to
make some material improvement in the
paper as soon as can make arrangements
to that end. In the control of the editorial
department will have the assistance Of Mr..
Maaser, the founder of the paper, which we
know will be as satisfactory to the patrons
Of the paper as to ourselves.
With this brief announcement of my OBJ
jects and purposes, which it is hoped will
prove satisfactory to the readers of the
AMERICAN, respectfully solicit the aid
and support of the present patrons of the
paper, and Of oil others who are willing to
give it a trial under its new proprietor.
Being practical printer, and having had
many years experience, 7 feel confident that,
with the aid of these, car make the
AMERICAN an interesting and popular first
class Family Journal, and one which will be
worthy the support of all classes and parties.

ANOTHER PROBABLE HOMICIDE.
The Result of Bar-room Alteration.


James Mcguire, aged about twenty-five years,
was admitted into the Pennsylvania Hospital
last evening with dangerous wound in his left
breast, received during an alteration on New
Market street, above Willow. 1t appears that
about o'clock last evening, Maguire with
Thomas Dornan, aged seventeen years. had
gone into the lager beer saloon of William Leck-
feld, No. 445 New Market street, where they
met q third party Calling for drinks, they were
told they could nOthave any, las they already had
had too much liquor. They then sat down
awhile after which Dornan went into the street,
closely followed by Mcguire, who sat down on
on the pavement. Mrs. Leckield brought out n
bucket of water, and in throwing it on the filth,
splashed some of it on Mcguire, who became
angry, and pulling out q knife, dared Mrs. Leck-
field to come out, saying he would give her some
of that (the llnifeG. A club was then thrown out
of the place, which struck DOrnln on the head.
He then attempted to get Mcguire away, but
the latter refused and started up the steps Mrs.
Lecbield had by this time secured another club,
with which she Int Mcguire several times.
Mcguire then went into the street. and picking
up brick threw 1t at Mrs. Lcckteld, but she
GOT out of the way i'm time 10 avoid the missile.
Mr. LecKteld, who had taken but little part in
the aitray up to this time. then appeared on the
scene with revolver, which he discharged, the
ball lodging i'm Maguircs breast. Mcguire was
picked up and taken to the Pennsylvania Hos
piml, where his wound was examined, but
owing to the fact that he was intoxicated the
physicians concluded not to probe for the ball
until this morning, 1t is believed that the
wound is n dangerous one. Lecbfeld was
arrested by Policeman Mulligan, of
the Seventh district and taken TO the
Central Station, Thomas Donau was also
taken INTO custody and escorted TO the Central
station. Lecllfeld was given Il hearing about 9
O'Clock, and, after Dornan had related his ac-
count OF the affair, was committed by Justice
