there as many as four Democratic candi-
dates, asking for the peoples suffrages.
We find II. ii. Robertson, of Allegheny,
lawyer of not much ability, and of no
great popularity, the regular nominee Of the
party John Mcdowell Mann, of Allegha-
nv county, farmer Of great political am
bition, but man of good hard sense; and
John d. Sadler, of Allegheny, an ex-
sheriff, ex-commissioner Of revenue, and
ex-assistant marshal, for taking the census.
This last position has given rise to the re-
port that Sadler is Republican, of which
Robertson and his friends endeavor to make
capital, knowing, as they do, that he is a
very popular man with the people, consc-
quently formidable rival.
From Craig we have Jubal A. McCor-
mick, q merchant and hotel-keeper of New
Castle, and, by the way, sprightly and
stirring man. He is also popular with the
citizens of Craig, and will likely poll a
large vote in his county. Of the four, he
is perhaps our choice, because he is the
most capable man.
We have heard nothing of the principles
avowed by either of them, except Robert
son, who, in his card, says he is but obeying
the dictates of his masters in remaining
silent upon State matters. Oh for lash
to whip these slaves around the world.
Obey your masters.
We shall feel sorry for the three defeated
candidates, but are sorrier because we have
no available Republican upon whom the
staunch Union men of these two counties
might centre.

RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-Our Baptist
friends propose to raise $4,000 for the
erection of buildings deemed almost in
dispensable to the, success of Richmond
College. They have raised 81 200 in ne
gotiable notes, and it is expected that 49,
600 more will soon be subscribed by Rich
mond Baptsts. The Religious Hsraid says
that ''when Richmond has done her part
we may hope confidently that the friends of
the institution elsewhere will finish the
work."
We not only wish complete success to
this undertaking, but hope that by the re-
moval of locomotives from Broad street,
and the subsequent construction of a
doublc-track horse railway from the City
Hall to or beyond Richmond College, the
property of the latter will be increased in
value in few years over 100 per cent.
The friends Of Richmond College should be
among the warmest friends of the 'Broad-
street improvemento-not sympathizcrs
merely, but active and earnest advocates.

LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
New York Items.

Ney York, October lS.--The yacht SEQ
lumbia" has again trinmphed over the "Li-
vonia" by q quarter of a mile.
The failure of the Atlantic Fire Insur-
ance company is announced. Its losses by
the Chicago fire are far greater than at first
supposed.
Inc value of the property seized in
Brooklyn yesterday, by the revenue officers,
assisted by 1000 Federal soldiers, is only
$4,000.
The National Insurance convention is
largely attended. Superintendent Miller
stated that he believed the New York COM
panies would be able to pay 80 per cent,
but that they should have time to gather re-
sources. lie believed the fire in Chicago
was the result of badly constructed
houses, and stated that in Paris or Lon
don a fire would burn itself out in one
block.
Theodore B. Pryor, son of Gen. Roger
A. Pryor, left his fathers house, in Brook
lyn, on Sunday, since which time he has
not been heard from. lie is believed to
have been under a temporary alteration of
mind.
Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition.
atlanta, Ca, October 1S.-There was

to-day. At least 10, 900 persons were pre-
sent. "Rattler" won the two mile race,

POLITICAL MIsMANAGEMENT.-- Our
party held meeting the other night, in
front of the City Hall, and we are told had
one tallow candle to light up the stand. 1t
is true the party is poor, but certainly a
cent collected from each of those pre-
sent--and none would have refused that
amount-would have purchased couple
of tar-barrels, which, if fired up, would
have lighted the whole street, and given
life and zest to the occasion.
Let US have no more tallow candle meet
ings, but, in their stead, let us burn torches,
tai-barrels, &c., put out the gas, burn
with enthusiasm, and have such light as
will enable us to see the faces of those
around us. Let no Democrat sneak there
in the dark, then sneak away, and tell what
he didn't see nor hear, but let us know
every man present, and his object.
Certainly the City Central Committee is
not going to make it week before we pop
'em again. If it does, the other side may
acin.

PLAIN SEWING. AT the delivery of
the prizes for plain sewing to his cottagers,
at Hugdenden, England, on the 2lst OF
September last, Mr.. Disraeli spoke of the
Importance of this accomplishment and
stated that at the great exhibition this year
there was display of plain sewing from all
the countries in the world, and that the
prizes, after critical examination of the
work, were all given to British competi-
tors. On examination he found that all
the prizes were allotted to Irishwomen.
Perfectly ready to do full justice to the
abilities and talents of his felow-country-
women in Ireland, he wanted to know the
reason Of their gaining all the prizes. Ex-
amining into the cause of the excellence of
the work exhibited by Irishwomcn, he
made the discovery that the Irish govern
ment had very wisely recognized plain sew
ing as an important part of national educa-
ton. In consequence of prizes offered by
the Irish government, plain sewing had been
stimulated and improved among the people,
the immediate advantage of which could
hardly be conceived. Every Irish woman
who went to the national schools was
taught plain sewing, and the consequence
was that great degree of happiness and
comfort was diffused over households of
which they were members, substituting
taste and economy, instead of the waste
full laundering manner in which women
without proper instruction attempted to
make or mend their husbands and chill
drens' clothes. Is not plain sewing a
necessary accomplishment. instruction in
which, If introduced into our public schools,
especially those for colored pupils, would
be of public advantage? 1t should be
mentioned that the attention paid to this
branch of education in the Irish schools,
is induced by desire to foster fine needle
work, such as hem-stitch and embroidered
handSerchieis, collars, &C., which are
exported from Ireland largely TO the
United States,
