Hartranft and Allen were beaten
when Buckalew and Hawley were
nominated and their fortunes hav,
waned stesdily ever since. No amount
of money, stump. eloquence or political
engineering can save them from merit
ed defeat. In the oldest and most staid
Republican counties the revolt against
the "Treasury Ring" is the greatest.
The Press speaks of the Republican
nominees, as "Our Tammany at Har.
risburg," and believes that the Repub
lican party should aid in its overthrow,
80 that the Democrats may not claim
all the credit.
In late number it presents a scath.
ing ''indictment" with numerous
counts against Hartranft, Mackey &
Co. which the Ring organs have not
even attempted to answer.

Carl Scl,urz..GraphIc sketch Of the Career
OF a Remarkable Man.

The life of this man, in any country
but ours, would have been considered
versatile and adventurous. He wa.
well educated at Cologne and Bonn
and became an editor prior to the rev.
olution of 1S4S, which made him popu.
lar in Germany and forced him into
the besieged town Of Rastadt. When
the German republic broke up, he be-
came a refugee in Switzerland, Paris
and London, whence he wrote for the
papers at home, and taught languages
in private schools. Only nineteen
years ago he came to America, satisfied
that the large German population here
would be willing to appreciate him,
and lured also by the courteous charac-
ter of our laws, which permitted easy
naturalization and even high distfnc-
ton in the Government. He married
we'll in London, and while very poor.
The Germans in this country knew him
instantly; for thousands had fled from
their fatherland on the failure of the
revolution, and they were well inform
eel OH the points of Schurz's life how
he had, at the peril of his neck, ingra-
tiatcd himself into q fortress near Ber-
lin with the romantic notion of getting
out his old college professor and chum,
and all knew that he had succeeded in
his task and crossed the North Sea to
Scotland with II price on his head.
Schurz figured as an opponent to sla-
very among the Germans, and he was
their iavorite stump speaker. In defer
cncc to the German vote, Mr.. Lincoln,
in 1861, only nine years after his arri-
val in this country, sent him as Minis
ter to Spain. After long exposure in
the war, where fortune was against
him, Schurz turned up in Washington
at it's close as merely u correspondent,
and he was probably the finest speci-
men of that genus ever sent here, not
in performance, but in general grades.
From that vocation can probably be
traced his present attitude in politics.
independent all the time. From Wash
ington he went to Detroit to edit an
English paper there, but Detroit being
Il conservative, dull city, he failcd.-
Then he went to st. Louis and took q
German paper; and the Germans of ST
Louis, having been electrified by the
BIairs, Gratz Brown, and others, SO rs
to be aware OF their Importance in pol
itics, resolved to have one of thci
number in the Senate, SO they took u]

A Case Of cheerfulness In Ad,os.ity.

Mr.. Charles Lompriere writes 10 the
Pail Mall Gazette about what he saw
In Virginia, thus:

their black labores all gone, all the
white labor migrated, the banks all
broken, antf all their money in Com

do? was month in daily eommu.
nication with one man who had been
educated as well as / had been. He
had served rs aid-de-camp throughout
the war. His house and property
were utterly wasted. He had u small
shanty for himself, wife and boy, will,
one hunchback negro who had refused
to leave them. He worked as an oys-
ter dredger cheerfully, and his wifc
taught music and French. She had
kept her piano. I never heard one
murmur from either. I saw hundreds
OF like cases. They cannot leave their
country, but they welcome English
men to their hearts as well as their
homes.

Prices Of Cotton.

in view of the present condition Of the

be of value as hint: f" gag
| We have been frequently asked ia
give the prices of cotton for some past
period, and it is evident. that a table
setting forth the highest and lowest
points reached by this great staple dur

little interest for a large circle of read
ers. We have, therefore, complied with
much care the annexed exhibit, ex-
tending from 1925 to the close Of the
current year, giving the lowest and
in this market during the twelve
months ending December 3lst in each
of the periods named. The lowest
point it has reached for fifty years was
in the spring of 1s45. We recollect the
date most distinctly. A gentleman
living in New England had about four
thousand dollars to his credit In q
Southern bank. He came to the writer
and asked how it could be made avail
able ut his home, as he could not buy q
bill of exchange except at high rate,
and the bank notes were ut a c0nside-.
rable discount. We suggested the pur-i
chase Of cotton as a remittance, re-
ing that 1t was lower than 1t ever
had been before, or ever would be again
in our time. He made the purchase at
or about four cents a pound, shipped it
North, where it sold soon after arrival
ut near nine cents a pound, thus more
than doubling his capital. He Is not
living now, or we. ashould take this Oc-
casion to remind him that he never
said ssthank you" for the advice that
delivered him from his dilemma

Redemption of Mutilated Currency
Through Post Offices.

The Post Office Department has
agreed, ut the suggestion of the United
States Treasurer, to issue Il circular to
postmastcrs requiring them to receive
mutilatcd currency under the new
regulations in payment for postage
stamps envelopes on the same terms
that it is received by officers of the
Treasury Department.; that is to say,
at its full face valuc when not more
than two-tifths of its original proper
tions are missing. The mutilatcd cur
rency so received will not be paid out
again by postmasters, but may be for
warded to the Treasurer of the United
States ut Washington, at the expense
of the Department, under the Govern
ment contract with Adams Express
Company; provided that the fractional
currency be sent in sums of five dol
lars and upward, and the legal-tendcr
notes in sums of fifty dollars and up
ward. New currency, by express, at
the expense Of the Department, will
be sent in return, unless otherwise re-

Norwood's execution was summary
as may be seen from the following:
After this confession was made, the
infuriated populace were fully deter,

fiuential citizens dissuaded them. He
was placed under q strong guard of

the whole of Saturday night in order
to save the prisoner from the hands of
the citizens. On Sunday morning,
about IL O'Clock, he was taken from

from where he committed the deed.
He was drawn up about fifteen feet

The Attitude Of the Federal .Govsr.asn,

The contest between Gov. Warmoth
and Col. Carter, Speaker OF the House
of Representatives, would be q very
unequal one unless the latter were aus
tanned by the Federal authorities here
and at Washington. We take it for
granted the President assured Col. Car.
ter that he would not sustain Gov.
Warmoth, but that the people should
have every opportunity to overthrow
the latter and recover the Government
OF the State from his hands. During
the progress Of the contest we have
watched closely for signs Indicating the
attitude of the General Government
with regard to 1t. IT. was not until yester-
day we became convinced that there
was no real intention at Washington
to bolster up Warmoth. Tho Ilisap-
pearance Of tho Federal soldiers frOm,
the streets was one indication of the
policy which General Grant had de-
termined to pursue. We all know that
had he wished to dispersc the followers
of Col. Carter, nothing would have been
easier. But last evening all doubt was
dispelled when Col. Carter stated from
the balcony of No. II Royal street that
the Federal troops would not again

At the request of many readers, we
re-publish from the Ohio Statesman, of
May 19, 1853, the brilliant piece of de-
scriptfve writing which won for Mr..
Cox the Immortal name of tsSunset:"
= '',sl.e "A GREAT OLD SUNSET.
What stormful sunset was that of
last night How glorious the storm,
and how splendid the setting of the
sun! We do not remember ever to
have seen the like on our round globe.
The scene opened in the West, with a
whole horizon full ofa golden interpen-
etrating lustre which colored the foliage
and frightened every object into its
own rich dyes. The colors grew deep
er and richer until the golden lustre
was transfuscd into a storm-cloud, full
of finest lightning, which leapetl in
dazzling zigzags all round and over the
city. The wind arose with fury, and
the slender shrubs and giant trees made
Obeisance to its majesty. Some even
snapped before it's force. The strawber-
ry beds and grass plots ssturned up their
whites" to see Zephyrus march by
AS the rain came, and the pools formed
and the cutters hurried away, thunder
roared grandly, and the tire-be1ls caught
the excitement and rung with hearty
chorus. The South and East received
the copiOus showers, and the West all
at once frightened up, in Il long, pol
ished belt of azure, worthy ofaSicilian
sky.
Presently cloud appeared in the
azure belt, in the form Of a castellated
city. 1t became more vivid, revealing
strange forms OF peerless fanes and ala
baster temples, and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. 1t re-
minds us of Wordsworth's splendid
verse in his Excursion
The appearance iIstantaneously disclosed.
Was Of a mighty city, boldly say =.
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far
And self withdrawn into u wondrons depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end!'
But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging a Paradise in the distant and
purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental
commotion, sank behind the green
plains of the West. The "great eye in
heaven" however, went not down
without a dark brow hanging over its
departing light. The rich flush of the
unearthly light had passed and the rain
had ceased; when the solemn church
bells pealed, the laughter of children
out and joyous after the storm is heard
with the carol of birds; while the fork
ed and purple weapon of the skies still
darted illumination around the Star
ling College, trying to rival its angles
and leap into its dark windows.
Candles are lighted. The piano
strikes up. We feel it is good to have
a home; good to be on the earth where
such revelations of Beauty and Power
may be made. And as VIC cannot re-
frain from reminding our readers of
everything wonderful i'll our city, we
have begun and ended our feeble etch-
ing of Il sunset that comes so rarely that
its glory should be committed to inn
mortal type.
