A word More 10 the young Men.


In Wednesday g issue, we touched, in
a cursory way. on the duties and pros.
poets of the coming campaign. We at
tempted to show that silent influences
are more potent than loud harangues;
and that to the former we must look for
even partinl success. The question now
presents itself, "Who can exercise this
influence, and who will prove the most
efficient agents in the work OF political
reform?" We reply, the young men. In
them are found that enthusiasm, that
elasticity of spirit, that energy, that
physical vigor. which are essential re-
quisites OF successful workers. In ad-
dition to these natural endowments, the
youth of the State possess other strong
elements of success. In the first place,
they can realize and appreciate the pre-
sent situation of affairs more easily than
any other class of our white citizens;
for, arriving at the age of maturity,
either while the -avages of war were
being felt through the land, or under q
Radical administration. they have for
gotten many OF the preiudices and SEN
timents which formerly dictated the po-
Icy of the South This our older class
of citizens find themselves unable to do.
Old ideas have been SO firmly implanted
in them as to be only with the greatest
difficulty eradioated.
In the next place, the young men con
moro easily persuade our colored friends
of their sincerity in accepting the situa-
tion, and their assertions will at least be
heard with patience; while the protesta-
taken decided stand in the ranks Of
the old Democracy. however sincere they
be-will pass unheoded. This is what
our young friends can accomplish, ond if
they will make determined effort, their
influence for good will be most certainly
felt.
We believe that the majority of our
colored friends are anxious to do what is
right. They have been estranged from
the white people OF the South by the
malignant falsehoods perpetrated by
Northern adventurers, to the effect that
the success of the white man means
slavery to the black; and if they can be
divcsted of this absurd idea, they will
with one accord array themselves on the
side of truth, honesty and virtue.
Young men, you are to accomplish all
this. To you our common mother calls
in her hour of trial. The past belongs
to your fathers; the present and the
future belong to you. You must battle
for your Inheritance. It is too much
blessed by nature to be relinquished
without a struggle. Come forward. then,
and suffer it not to pass into the hands
Of strangers and aliens.

PRESIDENT TnIERs. s.-This venerable
gentlem. j, who now controls the desti-
nies of France, has been guilty of lit
tie piece of childishness by flying into IL
passion and rcsigning and then yield
ing to the prayers of the Assembly
which were, no doubt, very insnccre-
and Withdrawing his resignation. 1t,
however, postpones tho crisis which his
Withdrawal from tho head of tho Govern
ment threatened, and may save Franco
from another reign of terror or inter
rcgnum OF anarchy and violence.

Another Field for Capital.

We are convinced that the develop
ment of the great water power of the
Columbia Canal is safe in the hands of
the Sprague manufacturing company.
Their resident manager, Colonel Pearce,
and engineer Major Mshen, are active
and capable men, and we believe that
full justice will be done by them to this
great enterprise, when the requisite and
necessary legislation, relative to the pro-
per location of the dam, shall have been
secured. AS it is, they have gone to
work earnestly widening and deepening
the canal bed. Between 100 and 200
hands are daily employed at weekly ex-
pense of over $1,000, which being fresh
capital distributed through the city,
tends no little, even now, to give impulse
to business enterprise. Upon the de-
velopment of this great water power, Co.
lumbia will become centre of manu-
fncturing as we'll as of railroad interests,
and We shall have an inland town of
lnrge trade and busy, stirring life.
In addition to the manufacturing en-
terprises now in operation, or projected,
paper factory is urgently called for in
this place or vicinity. AS an investment
it is one Of the best that can be made;
comparative statistical tables show it to
be the very best at the North. Our
milder climate, cheaper lubor and fuel,
less expensive living, ETC., are conditions
which will mako the business even more
profitable here. Moderate capital, Judi
ciously applied. is al that is needed to
Enke this successful branch Of bust
ness. There are cxcellcnt sites in the
vicinity of Columbia and along tho limo
Of railroads, where an abundance of
good water and clear strcams in health
ful localities, can be purchased Oh very
favorable terms.

When nearly every Radical member
OF the United States Senate takes occn-
sion to demand the publication Of the
Republican party, and enter their pro-
tests against the corruption and rascality
which has blocked up all the avenues of
Official duty. it naturally suggests itself
that tho best reform would be to reform
tho whole batch out of Office. Ill carry.

ton can find abundant material for mr.
gnment and denunci,tion without going
beyond the utteranccs of the Radical
leaders Out of their own mouths they
are condemned.

DEATH FROM BLOWING Down A LAMP
CHiMNEY.-The Luzerne Union records
another terrible accident resulting from
tue too common pructice of blowing
down lamp chimney to extinguish the
light The casnnlty occurred in Cleve-
land, Pa. few nights since. Mrs.
Elizabeth Stark disrobed to retire about
10 O'Clock. She attempted to e1tingnish
her coal oil lamp i'll very common man
ner. by blowing down the chimney. The
lamp exploded, throwing over her tho
bl"zlng liquid, and in IN instant she was
enveloped in flames, and was terribly
burned. There seems to be no end to
accidents. resulting from tie careless use
OF kerosene, and tho people cannot be
too careful how they manage aud handle
their lighted lamps. We copy tho above
item as q warming to those who commit
tho foolish act.

NORTHERN VlEw OF THE STocK-JoE.
DER's tUNDINa AND REPUTATION SCHEME
The Now York Herald, of Monday, in it's
review of dongs in Wull street during
the preceding week, says:
"rhe Southern list was irregular, but
in tue main strong. the chief feature
being rise of nearly ak per cent. in the
new South CaroiinaH, followed by q re-
action OF about two per cent. The nd-
vance in tho South Carolinas was occa-
stoned by movement on the part OF
some recent buyers of the bonds to havo
the State authorities repudiate fifty per
cent. Of the debt-a course which would
enable these parties to double the CAPT
tai they have invested. Naturally s,.ch
step is strenuously opposed by the old
holders OF the bonds, whose interests are
OF greater consequences, aud whose Oh
JeotiOns have been forwarded in nume-
rous letters to the State authorities.
This speculation was covered with gilt
tcring proposition to nuke the Union
Trust Company the States agent in this
city--n movement begotten of antipathy
to the present State agent. whose deal
ings with the financial community in
Wall street have been always of salts
factory character. He is also an oppo-
nent OF the new departure. for the ge-
neraily credited reason that, his own pri-
vnte means having been largely invested
III the State'a securities, he liz opposed to
the reputation contemplated in seal
ing the debt fifty per cent"

It is undoubtedly true that the personal feel
ings OF monarchs enters largely into their
actions determining the relations Of their Gov
ernnents In this respect, the story is told that
the present Emperor Of Russia celebrated the
German victory at Sedan in the most hilarious
Misunderstanding the glass from which he
drank bis congratulations, ordering his COM
panions to do likewise, and then causing the
entire mass Of broken Bohemian ware to be
moulded into one large goblet, which is appro-
priately marked "sedan." The Russian
Emperor is also said to be possessed OF great
respect for his successful uncle OF Germany,
heightened by the latters victory over nation
for which he has had little sympathy
since french jury merely con-
demned his wou1d-be assassin in the
Bois de- Boulogne to nothing more than penal
seryitude for life. Emperors are as susceptible
to personal likes and diaIikes as other people.
II the three most potent ones ia chr1stendon
are, for any reason, now turned in the direction
Of peace, not only their own subjects but the
whole world has CAUSE for rejoicing.

THE CANADIAN HORSE DISEASE.

The alarmingly virulent disease, which is now
raging among the horseH in many OF tie large
cities OF the country, is spreading with such
rapidity that it has become g matter OF the
graveat importance, and one which should COM
mand the immediate attention Of all owners OF
horses, and especially Of the veterinary surgeons.
It's spread has become so rapid, that it may be
termed an epidemic, and its results are fatal in
such brief time as to almost paralyze the busl-
ness Of some cities. 1tseems to have originated
in Toronto, where it broke ont with such violence
that, in an Incredibly short space Of
time, the hacks, horsecara, and all drayage busi-
ness were brought to an abrupt stand-stil1. The
disease seemed to make no exceptions. The
best~attended horses in that city, such as those
Of the Fire Brigade, we're seized with it; but
IS the rule Of the disease seems to be that the
fatality is greatest among horses not properly
cared for, the Fire Commissioners ordered that
these horses should be taken back to their
stables as soon as they had reached
fire, and remain there, blanketed,
until 1T was necessary to bring the
steamers back. In this manner many OF them
were saved. From Toronto. the disease spread
with alarming rapidity to Montreal on the one
side and Western New York On the other. Each
mornings news announces it's appearance in
new places From Niagara Falls, where it was
very violent leaving hardly sound horse, it
spread to Rochester, soon causing an almost en-
tire suspension Of business which was
dependent upon horses, such. as horse
car travel and railroad freightage. From
Rochester it spread west and south.
1t soon reached Albany, and by railroad
and canal mediums was not long in reaching
New York City and Boston, where it has but
just commenced to manifest itself. Westward,
it travelled to Buffalo, where It has ragged with
! extreme vio1encefor the past few days. The
Commercial Adrertiser Of the 21st says that
nine out Of ten horses in the city are affected
