The estate of William B. Astor, of
New York, is stated to be worth the
most incalculabls sum of 5000, 000,-
900. When John Jacob Astor the
father of William B., died in 1885, it
was then supposed to be about $685.
100000. 1t, in less than forty years
1t has been multiplied eightfold, what
will It be 10 half century from now,
it managed with the same prudence and
ability. 1t will exceed the wealth of
the Rothschilds. The Ave brothers of
them are supposed to be worth the
comfortable sum Of 81 900, 900.
So, Astor, if this report is correct, is
already as rich as the average of the
Rothschilds.

THE REIGN OF TERROR On THE BoR.
DER.-Latc reports from the Rio Grande
so TO show that terrible state of affairs
exists in that section. Notwithstanding
McKenzie's recent raid, forays upon the
Texas settlements continue, and murders
by Mexican outlaws are ofdaily occurrence.
The situation at present, as described in a
letter dated Fort Clarke, July IS, to the
Republican of Washington, is indeed pain
ful. The writer says
From the reports ofmurder. robbery and
devastation which have recently reached us
and are reaching us every day, it would
seem that their work of cruel welfare and
savage rapacity has commenced in earnest.
Scarcely a day eiapses that the bleeding
and scalped body of some poor, isolated
frontiCrsman is not found scOrching under
the summer sun. Stock and horses have
oeen taken away from the midst of popul-
Gus and seemingly-secure settlements, and
driven TO the wigwams of the savages or
the haciendas of their Mexican allies.
The troops which had been recently sta-
toned here, over ore thousand strong, are
now scattered in detachmcnts throughout
the county. so that the garrison here may
be considered vacated of cavalry. Several
infantry companies yet remain here for gar
rison duty. The former are kept constant
ly in motion. They have scented every
portion Ofthe country, from the Rio Grande
to the Rio Honda, and closely guarded
every creek and crossing; yet, notwith-
standing this vigilance on the part of the
troops, the savages and their allies contin-
ue to increase their incursions and carry on
q more extensive devastation of our terri
tory than they have dared to attempt for
many years previous. The fact has been
established that the opera ton of troops can
never be successful against Indians on a
frontier SO extended as ours so long as they
are protected and aided in their murderous
deprodations upon us by the Mexican from.
tier authorities of the States and Coahuile
and Tamaulipas.
The officials and people Of these border
States without regard TO international
rights or treaty obligations, not only per.
nit the savagee TO commit depredations on
our property, TO recross the boundary line
/ with our property, but they aid them in
| every manner possible, and are generally
! the recipients OF the booty captured from
our own unfortunate citizens, as is evi
| deuced time and again hy the large herds
of cattle and horses being found in theil
! possession. This nefarious traffic with the
| Indians is too great a source of revenue tC
the people and authorities of Coahuila to b,
sacrificed to the peace, welfare and safety o
the people Of the frontier of Texas. They
prefer that the Inhabitants of our frontie
should be robbed, plundered, and murder
ed by mcrciess savages rather than tina
themselves should loss their share Of tn
booty captured by them.

MIR. LEMUEL SHIPMAN, the Democratic
candidate for Register & Recorder has hau
hard time during the past week in trying
to make the Irish people Of the coal region
believe that he wanted to support Mr.. Gal
lagher when a candidate for Assembly,
but didn't. If there was another in The
Shipman family without an office it might
be blamed on him, but unfortunately Lem
uei being the only one of the family hold
ing no office, and the cat being out Of the
bag, it will be harder for him to shut the
eyes of the Irish than it was two years
ago when he went upon the principle that
"no Irish need apply
Mr. Shipman should, however, be enti-
tied to some credit for his efforts to en-
hance the interest of Ring candidates last
fall, by travelling in company with coun-
ty official, through the Mahonoys, and de-
ceiving the people in that region. To cir
culate the story that Pat Hester had been
pardoned, on the eve of an election, to de-
ceive the people in whole community,
was probably more than any ordinary man
would have had the check to undertake, and

OLD SCORES. MIR. Amerman the Demo

some obscure man in Y orll county to prove
that he wanted to vote nay on the increase

weak that lie could not be heard. lie was

that the salary resolution passed unGni-

THE Republican party is the party of
the people. Its history is glorious one,
and its principles are those of putty and
progress. The only danger that besets
it is the entrusting Of its destiny to selfish
adventurers who have no love for its prin-
ciples, and only identify themselves with
it that it may bear them to office and op-
portunities for obtaining wealth. The
party should be more watchful in guard,
ing against this kind Of material hereafter
None but men devoted to the principles o.
the party, and known to be honest and true
should enjoy its confidence or be permitted
to control its influence. Ben Butler and
his type should all be cast out from ii:
fold, and put where their baneiul influence
can reflect no shame on its fair reputation

The Democratic politicians in this State
are doing their best To stimulate the for
nation Of Farmers Oranges in Pcnnsyl-
vania. They are hopeless of ever CARRYING
the State under the Democratic name and
they have seized upon the Farmers move
ment i'll the west as godsend. The first
spot in which the Oranges appeared was
in Berks county, and it was noteworthy
that the foremost men therein were the
local Democratic managers. The machn-
cry of the new organization affords them
something new TO work WITH and those
who have failed with old means ALWAYS
welcome the advent of new agencies. From
Berks, the Order spread into Montgomery
county, and probably into the other ada
cent Democratic counties and, in our
mind, the conviction is clear that the aim
ofthe Democratic managers in Pennsylya.
mia is to encourage the growth, and to
gain the control, ofau organization through
which they hope to sestore themselves tC
power.

ear. There had evidently been terrible
struggle between them, as marks of blood
were found in both rooms. SchusterreiteI
had killed his wife with razor and had put
an end to his own life by taking corrosive
sublimate. No noise of quarreling or dis
turbance had been heard by the other mem.
bers of the family. The wife presented Q
