Correspondence Of the Fayette county Herald.
Letter From Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA, 1871.
The recent warm weather has played
sad havoc with my journalistic aspira-
tions. 1t has been actually too warm
to think, and to write was out of the
question. I couldn't think of shut
ting myself up in a room and writing
letters, with the thermometer at ''two
shirt collars per minute" But we are
favored with cooler weather now, and
am happy.
The summer, for the most part, has
been delightfully."- cool, few days in
August being quite chilly, and the city
has been almost entirely free from dis
eases of an epidemic nature Some of
the more filthy portions of the city
were visited by small pox, but l be-
lieve it has almost entirely disappeared.
The only wonder to me is that it did
not spread over the entire city, when
see such evidences of filth and cor
ruption as are displayed in certain To-
ONAAtAGS' hO S01LLSAL AGS u1dlIOnS Ol
the city are not first class, as are also
some of the other regulations connect
ed with the municipal government.
Philadelphia is decidedly old fash
ioned. There is very little of that en-
ergetic progressiveness displayed here
that is to be seen on every hand in the
Western cities. The citizens here plod
along in BE good old way" seeming
" uncon rious and Indifferent as to
men and things in the outer world.
They follow INTERESTINGLY in the foot
steps of those who have gone before,
and their children are preparing to
tread the same beaten path AS an
instance, the city and couMty officials
have been using the little, squatty,
dingy, uncomfortable building known
as TIE old State House all these wears
for transoeting the business of the
courts, etc, and never once gave a
thought toward respectable looking
buildings, such as would do honor

boat, and fancy pictured them the
abode of domestic happiness, the key
stone of all earthly enjoyment.
Burlington was the next point
reached; this town is on the New Jer-
sey side; it has population of about
seven thousand, and is one of the old
est towns in the State.
Philadelphia came near being built
at this point on the Delaware river
A survey was made with such inten-
tions and it was found that the river
was too shallow for heavy Shipping and
SO the scheme was abandoned.
After stopping at several minor
points we reached Philadelphia and
landed at the foot of Chestnut street
the fashionable thoro'fare of tn e City
yet consider it as being far inferior
to many other streets of the City. Il
is extremely narrow and does not at
all favorably impress a, a,stranger.

THAT ROOSTER.

Our neighbor of the Register bro't
out his Democratic Rooster last week,
and pretends to jubilate in the most
furious style. 1t is we'll enough, Bro.
Gould, to bring out your Rooster be-
fore the election. You never get a
chance. to do it afterward. But that's
the madest jubilation we ever saw
One would imagine that Gould had bit
himself, knocked everything into pie
andsjerked off his boot straps; and all
over a pGrtizaa Democratic letter,
written by Amos Layman, which the
Regis 'ster has the efFrontery to hold up
as the Record on the school question.
oh! t0hat a Record! Nobody ever
saw record read like that. What
has become of your first Record
against Mr.. Williams, Gould the one
you said you wrote to Columbus and
got and published a few weeks ago {?
You've got ASHAMED of that, have you,
and let it go "where the wood-bine
twineth r. You'll get equally asham-
ed of this last one before you get
through with it.
Let us look at it little-and in do
ing so we lay out of consideration
a0ho this Amos Layman is; that he is
democratic politician of long stand
ing; also what House Journal of 1868
pag 259 and 564sLow, viz: That
select committee consisting of VIM. H.
West fafterward Attorney General of
the State, aud James Pursell, Repre-,
sentative from this County, appointed
under House Resolution No. 1876 rela-
tive to tamperfng with the journal,
after investigation reported:
''That MIR. Amos Layman, without
authority, or knowledge, of any officer
or clerk Of the House, surreptitiously
interpolated certain matter in the Jonr-
nal; and that said committee held a
session to give Mr.. Layman a chance
to be heard at his request, but he fail
ed to appear and therefore, report the
following resolution:
HcsotVed, That said Amos Layman be
and is hereby excluded from the floor
OF the House and from access to the
journal thereof, and that the Sergeant
alarms take care to enforce the reso-
luton. w. ii. VEST Cy
j. PURsELL, :" IL
We also lay out Of consideration the
further fact that Mr.. Layman is the
same Democratic clerk OF the Demo
cratic Legislature of 1869 who drew
pay at the rate of So per day for $50

A Whole Grist.

How greater number of infamous
lies could be crowded into one page OF
a newspaper, than appears on the page
of last weeks Register, would puzzle
an expert to tell. Simply as a matter
of curiosity we give a few. In one
column it says:
ave hear there is a strong proha-
bility that criminal proceedings will be
instituted against Christopher Colum-
bus Delano. for conspiracy with Tom
Scotland Simon Cameron, to steal the
Georgia State Railroad
Phew what a bouncer!
Againin another place it says:
"The books of the Register, Secre-
tary and Treasure, not only do not
balance, but disagree irreconciabIy, TO
the extent of more than hundred
millions dollars.
Whew! what another 'bouncer.

front of his residence on Chestnut
avenue, and suddenly there rung out
on the evening air three shrill whis-
ties, which at first seemed to come
from a point near by. No policeman
being in sight, he started at once to
investigate the affair, and after search
ing about for little time he discovered
that it emanated from a tree, on the
branches of which the police bug had
taken up his quarters" ="
When bugs get large enough to call
the police, think it is high time some
thing was done to check their growth.

THE
NOVELTY CLOTHES WRINGER,

Nothing: cxept the Sewing Machine, has been
inAented, which so much relieves the labor of the
household as Wrnger. But its usefulness does
not end here. The saving of clothing is of much
greater Importance. 1t is often remarked that
articles of fine texture, last twice as long when
Wrung in a Wringer as when wrung by hand
The Novelty has Cog-wheels on both ends. =
The rolls are allowed to separate freely at either
end These, besides other advantages which it
Contains, seem to be indispensable to practical
wringer-lNew York Independent.
The Novelty Wringer-Has become an in
dlSpenSablc Institution III thousands of families.
And we believe its great and increasing popular
ity is fully merited-for the Novelty evidently
possesses all the requisites of firstclaSs practical
machine. Indeed, after using one for many
months in our own family, we are prepared to in
oorse the Novelty as unsurpassed (the laundreSs
says unequaled.) by any of the several wringers
previously tried l-Moore's Rural New Yorker.

COLoRED SCHOOLS.

The Democrats are opposed to al
lowing the colOred people of this State
any school benefits from the taxes as
sessed upon them for school purposes
At least VIC are justified in this opinion
from the fact that the Amendment Of
fered by Mr. Cockerill, of Adams
county, to the School Bill, last Win
ter, did exclude the colored people
from any of the benefits of the taxes
assessed for the purpose of maintain
ing free schools, and that amendment
was voted for by nearly strict party
vote, the Democrats voting for the
amendment and the Republicans
against it. Now, this same Mr.. Cock
Grill, who introduced the amendment
to the School Bill excluding the
colored children from any benefits of
the Free School System, has been
nominated by tie Democratic party as
their candidate for State Auditor, and
we suppose will be around here before
the election, claiming to be the best
friend the colored people have, and
begging their votes; and Cockerill,
and Gould, of the Register, who are
both willing to tax the property of
colored citizens to assist our Common
Schools, but unwilling to let the mig
ger children, as they Indignantly term
them, have one cents benefit from it,
viii be around just before the election
trying to prove to the colored people
that they are and always have been the
best friends the colored people ever
had, and swearing that the colored
people don't smell so bad, and that the
hollow of their feet don't make hole
in the ground, neither; that the Dem,
ocratic party was always in favor ot
the abolition of slavery; that theil
party was always in favor of "equa
political rights before the law" aut
they every one of them voted to Place
the ballot in the hands of sour coloreC
brethren" Gould will be ready tc
swear that his great heart is almos
bursting wide open with pure, unadul
terated love for our respected Ameri
can Citizens of African descent.
We scarcely need caution the color
ed people of our County to beware o
these fellows who profess so mucl
friendship for them just about election
times.
You know that they have always
been the enemies to tie liberties of til,
colored race in this country, and tha
if the Democratic party had been il
power until this day, as they were 1:
years ago, slavery would still have re
named curse upon our country
You would not have had the privilege
of American citizens, and you woult
not have had voice at the ballot box
es in the choice of your Governmen
rulers; and while you would hav,
been taxed to support free schools
you would not have been allowed on
cent of the money which you paid tt
educate your own race.
These are matters that the coforeC
people, and humane white people, too
should think of candidly,. and will
think of, before they deposit thei
votes in the ballot boxes on the 1OtI
day of October.

- The Democratic members of the
Legislature of the last session. are re-
sponsible for defeating the School
Bill that authorized the School Board
to organize schools for colored chill
dren where there were less than 20 col
ored children in the district, whereas
the present law makes no provision
for establishing them with less mum,
ber of colored children. Had the Bill
which Mr.. Williams voted for, and the
Democratic members voted against,
passed, the Board of Education in a
School District could have provided
separate schools for all the colored
children.

M. j. Williams.

In his speech to the colored people
last Friday, Mr.. Williams told them
how he stood on tue School Question.
He told them he was opposed to mix
ing white and colored children in the
same schools, and that he voted
against mixing them. He also told
them that every Democratic member of
the House, of Representative voted
for Cockerell's Amendment to deprive
the colored youth of their proportion
Of the School Fund, and all Common
School education. Such is the mag
nanimity of the Democracy that they
would leave the colored youth without
a dollar of the school funds!
NJ. j. Williams said in his slang
whanging speech in the Court House,
last week, that ''we would land in the
Penitentiary."- y."-Regfster Of last soeek.
Oh! no, Gould, Mr.. Williams did
not say that. What Mr. Williams said
was, "that if you had been guilty of
altering or mutilating a promissory
note or personal contract as you had
the record on the School Bill for cleo
tioneering purposes, you would de-
serve to receive term in the Peniten-
tiary." You don't deny that, do you
