words that Charles Dickens was dead, the
telegraph made haste TO inform us that Mr..
John Smith of q neighboring city twas quite
overcome at the sad tidings. Mr.. Dickens
was personal friend of Mr.. Smiths. Mr..
Smith was almost as much overcome as at the
news of the death of Mr.. Peabody, who was
also personal friend"
There is a grim pleasantly in the persist
ence with which these little men caper before
their audience at which we cannot but laugh.
Certain books, detailing personal quarrels,
many of our poems and novels, are only long
advertisements of some irresponsible 'I'--
looking glasses before which some man or
woman is weeping or making grimaces in
hopes of being watched. Certain papers hold
their place before the public by the virulence
with which the editor drags his own petty and
gangrened quarrels before the eyes of decent
men and women. The success of such books
or journals has always been short-lived. In
the long run, the public prefers good, healthy
food to the cannibal meal of Monsieur the
Editor, cooked in different style every day.
In the long run, too, these factitious reputa-
tions come to sudden end. Death pricks
mans character and work with a sharp lance,
and the world, on its side, puts him to trial
which is always just. If it is any consolation
to modest men, they may assure themselves
that the egotist invariably goes snubbed to
Hades

the whole negro population in the Gulf
States. Those States need and desire their
labor, and have every motive to attract them
by rendering their condition comfortable. AS
the negroes are drained away from the border
States, their places will gradually be supplied
by white immigrants.
The hide-bound border State politicians do
not seem to appreciate the great changes in
the distribution of population which must
result from the extinction of slavery and the
freedom of the negroes to go where their
labor is in greatest demand and best paid. If
they had any clear foresight of the near
future, they would rather direct their atten-
ton and anxiety to the means of securing a
new laboring population to take the places of
the departing negroes, who will be induced
to go all the more rapidly by hostility and ILL
usage. For aught we know, this blindness
may be one of the agencies of Providence for
fastening the inevitable exodus.

A N ORDINANCE

"A To Create a Loan for House of Correction.
Section l. The Select and Common Councils
of the City of Philadelphia do ordain That the
Mayor of Philadelphia be and he is hereby
authorized to borrow, at not less than par, on
The credit of the city, from time to time, for a
House of Correction, five hundred thousand
dollars, for which interest, not to exceed the
rate of six per cent. per annum, shall be paid
half yearly on the first days of January and
July, at the Office of the City Treasurer. The
principal of said loan shall be payable and paid
at the expiration of thirty years from the date
of the same, and not before, without the consent
of the holders thereof; and the cert ifcates
therefor, in the usual form of the certificates of
city loan, shall be issued in such amounts as the
lenders may require, but not for any fractional
part of one hundred dollars, or, if required,
in amounts of five hundred or one thousand
dollars; and it shall be expressed in said certif-
Gates that the loan therein mentioned and the
interest thereof are payable free from all taxes.
Section 2. Whenever any loan shall be made
by virtue thereof there shall be- by force of this
ordinance, annually appropriated out of the. i'm

sum of three-tenths of one per oentum on the
par value of such certificates so issued shall be
appropriated quarterly out of said income and
taxes TO a sinking fund, which fund and its ac-
cumulations are hereby especially pledged for
the redemption aud payment of said certifi-
Gates.

and if he had named that gentleman
as his political idol, instead of Thomas
jefferson, it would have been nearer correct.
When Chase prostrated himself before the
Democratic party and asked its members to
make him their nominee for the Presidency,
Colonel Thomas followed in the wake of his
political degradation. Both are disappointed,
and both are eager TO destroy the great politi-
cal organization that once nurtured them and
conferred upon them positions of honor and
distinction. In view of these facts, Colonel
Thomas should forever refrain from alluding
to the records of his political antagonists.
Judge Kelley has worked himself up from
a poor boy-a hard-working mechanic-to
the proud and honorable position he now oc-
cupies. He has ever been a favorite speaker
in Chester county because he has always
been regarded as a representative of the labor
ing class, and steadfast friend of the rights
of the poor and oppressed.

REsoLUTIoN TO PUBLISH LOAN

Resolved, That the Clerk of Common Coun-

of Councils after the expiration of four weeks
sent to this Council one of each of said news

to collect their armed multitudes at once all
along the frontier, choose to wait until our
men and equipment arrive, they are not ex-
actly the people we take them for But If
they were thus chivalrously to stand still
un til we threw up our hat and stepped into
the ring, we must not forget that their power
to arm half a million of men at a pinch
against our supposed seventy thousand has
Just been proved in civil war;
There remains, of course, the possibility,
on which we suspect a good many of our
enthusiasts fondly count, of Canadian levy
en- nadSSe against the hated invader, of bush
fighters and guerillas, and partisan war; sach
as our journals threatened ''the North" with
when it invaded ''the South" We do not be-
lieve in such contingency, and therefore
would rather avoid discussing 1t, with its dis
agreeable accompaniments.
Now we are quite aware-to repeat what
has been already said-that this honest re-
view of our situation will be to very many
minds exceedingly distasteful. And from
feeling it distasteful there is only one step to
condemning it as disloyal and ''un-English,
and as indicating degeneracy from true Bri-
tish sentiment. We cannot help it. The
difficulties of our position are not less real,
nor less known by the world to be real, be-
cause we determine to shut our own eyes to
them. But we are no panic-mongers. We
certainly do not perceive the ne
cessity for maintaining large army
IN Canada as precaution against
American invasion. We believe that
to maintain small one would be suicidal
And we rather wish than expect that we
might be able to send across the Atlantic
military power, in the event of such hostili-
ties, in time and in force to save Canada with
the aid of her own inhabitants. But we
believe our real security on the side of
America to be of quite different kind.
America well knows that she could not con-
quer Canada except at the expense of mari
time war of such formidable dimensions as
the world has not yet seen. She knows that
to provoke US wouldbe to provoke the extirpa-
ton of her flag and her commerce from every
sea. She must feel at heart also that wan
ton indulgence in mere love of conquest would
be felt as a sin, not against England only,
but provoking in the long run the joint hos
tility of the European commonwealth. These
are considerations which weigh-tacitly, per-
haps, but powerfully - with the general
American mind. And we have on our side,
in addition, American feelings of justice and
truth and national honor. These are power
full and durable though undemonstrative
auxiliaries. Those members of any COM
munity who treat their supposed existence in
other communities with skeptical sarcasm are
as wrong as foolish. Far wiser those who
recognize and appreciate them, and do their
best to cultivate them by mutual forbearance.

THE CITY.
EMP HIS;
Friday Evening. June 40. 1870.

AHRENs. examination of Gus
tave Louis Ahrens, charged with appro-
priating to his own use few thousand
dollars belonging to his employer, Mr..
Edward Warburg, commenced last after
noon and will be- continued this after
noon before Squire Hall. The evidence
so far shows that wrong entries had been
made on the books, and that the amounts
taken from time to time varied from $50
to $50. There is very little sympathy
for Mr.. Warburg in this matter, for the
simple reason that he preferred employ
ing a stranger whom be knew nothing
about to one of the many good young
men belonging to this city ont OF EN-
ployment and known to be honest. This
is only a sample of the way in which
Mickle & Ragland were treated by Ma
son, and of the way in which other mer-
chants in this city have been treated by
knayes and nice young men. We hope
our business men may soon become wise
and give employment to our own boys
and men in preference to strangers.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Life Sustaining Organs. two or
gans which minister most directly to the sup
port Of the body are the stomach and liver. In
the former the first process of digestion takes

nutritious portion from the rest, and II is then

form of yenous blood, while the waste matter
Is discharged through the bowels. Unless all
these processes are duly performed, disease Of
