POLITICAL NOTES.

The Philadelphia 4ys does not be-

II SAYS:
The furore for Mr.. Greeley which has

no genuine enthusiasm, but the hasty
match Of politicians at supposed ad

acduiesCence from the mass Of the Dem.
orIaric party. The growing weakness
OF the American character-an indispo-
ition to speak out our political senti-
menrs unless we teel sure OF majority
has been dextrously played upon by
politicians. They say that the Demo
cratic party consents TO the nomination

On the day that Grant fed to Long

Logan went to the White House he

SEEING Is BELIEVING On Saturday
last, business callnd us out Bank Street,
passing the Canning Factory of Stout &
Co, where we saw and counted thirty.two
wagons loaded with tomatoes, and the cry
was that more were coming. 1t is quite
a treat to notice the continual moving
through our streets, of peaches, tomatoes,
beans &c. from earl morn till late at
night, team after team heavily laden with
luscious fruit; all sold to the different es-
Establishments, who are all now busy day
and night, preserving and canning, cap
ping, boxing and putting them away
ready for shipment to market. At some
Of our factories, they are putting up as
many as 10000 cans per day. A great
many women, girls and boys are here en-
ployed at good wages, through the sum
mer season, beside the large number of
men engaged the year around, making
cans, boxes &c. some of these men make
as high as $40. per week, cutting tin
and making caas. Quite large sum of
money is distributed at these summer
places of industry, not only to the truck
ers for their produce, but for such as
carting, box-making, skinning fruit, can
ming and piling.

Bridgeton, N. j., Sept. goth, 1872.
Local Affairs.
What is Needed to Make Bridgeton
Prosperous.


Within the past two months we have
endesvored to keep our readers advised
of the many buildings going up, and
about to be erected, ere the winter sets
in. In the early part of last spring,
building operations did not wear as
bright a prospect as those of the three
preceding years. But yet larger num-
Der of houses, and some quite costly,
have been added, than most of our wise
acres expected The manufacturing in
terest so much needed to make Bridgeton
thriving city, is up to this time like a
tender plant of slow growth The trite
and true saying: "large bodies move slow.
ly," holds good for our community in too
many respects. 1t is true, there is lib
eral spirit visible among a few of our
thorough going business men, who are
ready aud willing at any favorable mo-
ment to assist pecuniarily and otherwise
in starting and rearing a manufactory.
But they cannot move successfully in this
matter, without the united exertions anda
charity cooperation of all our public spir-
tied citizens. 1t is the duty of all to put
their shoulder to the wheel, to work
faithfully and with undivided attention.
The subject richly deserves it, and should
receive it from all we'll wlshers of society.
We are sure, something substantial can
then be done, for sin union there is
strength" Let capable, active, business
men, visit and inspect numerous manu-
featuring establishments; let them inter-
view the managers and overseers of these
mills, learn the ways, modes and con-
struction of these bee-hives; let them in
troduce our city with its advantages, Of
fer inducements in long and easy leases
of property, erect buildings to suit their
ideas and trades, charge only nominal
rent for all money invested, extend to
them such a pressing invitation that they
will come and see the place, and last,
though not least, in showing the different
localities for manufacturing sites, let the
price therefore be fair and tempting one.
make the terms easy and inviting; prom
Using to aid and assist all new comers:
doubly assuring them by word and deed
that their interest shall be our interest,
and that We mean to work for the mutual
benefit of all concerned. Thus we have
practical ideas which speedily acted upon
will eventually turn the tide in their favor.
1t is a pity that we have been idle so
long, but better late than never; let us
be up and doing now. Those who reso-
lutely roll up their sleeves, and attack
the task to be conquered, are far wiser
and generally meet with more success
than those who stand in dainty costumes
wasting time in idle meditatiops.

Our worthy contemporary Nelson G.
Barclay of the Patriot, is also emulating
his neighbors example in the improve
ment of lot adjoining his present resi-
dence on Cedar Street. He has entered
into contract with Messrs. Allen Marts
"a new firm of young, enterprising me-
chanics,) for the erection of modern
frame dwelling, with eight rooms in each
part, to be finished, and ready for occu-
pancy before winter.

AND THE END is NOT YET.-It gives
us pleasure to note from time to time the
Improvements of our city, and record the
erection of new buildings in the different
wards No better proof of the fast growth
of Bridgeton than the constant employ
ment at good wages of most if not all onr
mechanics. Let any one attempt to walk
through our streets, and before travelling
mauy squares, his eyes will become d.
rected to the stalking out Of new founda-
tions, digging cellars, raising the frames
for new house or houses, or repairing
and making additions to those built in
former years. What person living here
for the past six years, but must readily
admit, that Bridgeton is growing, yea be-
yond the most sauguine expectations Of
all the "fogies" and croakers in our midst.
We cannot at this time enumerate the
different lots and properties, that have
been improved and ornamented, but leave
the task for another time. We shall on
ly inform our readers that with the many
buildings noticed in these columes with
in the past three months, there are a
number more yet to be commenced and
completed ere winter sets in.

STREET BEGGARS. In this section OF
the State there can be no conception Of
the annoyance which tramps and street
beggars give to the inhabitants of those
localities more accessible to the larger
cities. Camden, Burlins ton, Trenton, and
most Of the cities and towns along the
lines of the railroad from Philadelphia to
New York are more or less annoyed by a
class of vagabonds, too lazy to work, and
who get their livelihood either by beg
ging or stealing. They may be found
along the highways, begging of farmers
and others to give them ride from one
point to another. If overtaken by night
fall they either beg nights lodging or
crawl into some barn or outhouse, where
II there is anything worth stealing, they
are sure to carry away with them. Many
farmers keep large dogs to protect them
from that class of intrudeIs. An intelli-
gent dog seems to know them by instinct
Their appearance is generally enough to
alarm dog, or cause apprehension on
the part of an individual. That class of
vagabonds are curse to any community,
aud we should be thankful that there are
so few in this section Of the State AS
railroad facilities increase, however, these
nuisances multiply.
Cur attention was called to this subject
few days since, in witnessing a speci-
men of the tramp species wandering along
the highway from Bridgeten towards Shi-
loh. He had about enough poor whiskey
on board to make him insolent, which in
science be manifested toward all who re-
fused to give him ride in their vehicles.
Such fellows shoald be arrested and lock-
ed up at once, as they are not safe to run
at large. Whether he reached the quiet
settlement of Shiloh to annoy the citizens
of that place, or passed on to a more con-
genial neighborhood, we did not learn.
There are other classes of beggars in
creasing il Bridgeton, which should be
attended to by the proper authorities
They are boys from four to fourteen years
of age, who go about the city in rags and
filth, begging from door to door for cold
victuals. Some of these may be children
of worthy poor who should be sought out
and properly cared for. 1t is evident
that but few of them are of this class.
Our country takes good care of her poor,
and no city is more attentive to those un-
der her jurisdiction than Bridgeton. An
other class of beggars are small boys
whose parents are not aware that they
are engaged in such business as begging
for pennies in the neighborhood of the
Agricultural fair grounds. This is a per-
nicious habit which should be broken up.
as 1t gives strangers an unfavorable i'm
preston OF our ci6y. There is no need
of street begging in Bridgeton or any
where else in Cumberland county, and
We hope 1t may be discountenanced by
all good citizens. Let the worthy poor
be cared for without compelling them to
send their children into the streets beg
ging for bread.
