~ iadispsnssbly nscssssry to party success
In nearly every county ofthe State there
is something in the nature Of personal
feeling, or i'll will, the tendency of which
is to ostracise certain parties for personal
reasons, and to destroy the unity and har-
monious action which ought to character
ize the party. We are glad to observe
here tendency to wipe out all that may
have occurred in the past to ALLEVIATE in.
dividuals and to form factions. Many
things have transpircd here within the
last six years that are not creditabie eth
er to the heads or the hearts of those who
were the most prominent actors, and it is
time that all divisions based upon moth.
ing more substantial nor worthy than per.
sonal feeling should be healed, and the
party reorganized upon the basis Of q po-
litical equality of all who profess faith In
its principles and desire its continuance
In power.
We have with great haste and as much
brevity as we could,-elaborated the Now
er County Platform, believing that it will
be of interest not only to our more imme.
dlate readers but to the thousands to whom
this number of the TRANSCRIPT will be sent.
We hope that Republicans will consider
carefully the reasons why they should
still continue to support the party, and not
suffer thousands to be misled by specious
arguments. There is no safety but in our
own ranks.

What's In q NAnae.

The old rebel democracy, that long ago
attempted suicide as 4 party, and that
would now have been dead and beyond
resurrection, but for few leading rene.
gades from the Republican ranks, is in
the political field again, copeting for posi-.
tions Of honor and trust, with nothing in
the world to recommend them to public
favor, except the new name which they
have chosen,-ANr1 MoNoPoLIsr. What
impudence! 1t is the very party, and the
only party, which has sought to make the
poor, subject to the dictation of the rich,
Ito make the humble laborer support the
aristocratic, in elegance and leisurc,- TO

Democrats would constitute 4 parallel to
that famous case, wherein the livery Of

ceiving the virtuous and the pure. Anti.
monopoly is used by the Democrats As .

Haunting lie; used As symbol Of :heir

shouting "stop thiet," with more determi-

1t was almost universally admitted that
the Bank of California, before its failure re-
gulated the politics of all the Pacific States
so vast was the power OF the money
which it handled. What was true in re-
gard to that institution, is true in princi-
pie universally The potency of money
is employed-not alone in developing the
physical resources Of the country. but in
shaping legislation favorably to the con-
summation of its schemes. Where capi.
tai is aggregated in such quantities as to
undertake the management of corpora.
tons for mining, manufacturing, shipping
freighting, and to assume the carrying
forward Of national enterprises, such as
the construction Of Inter.Oceanic Rail
roads, the laying of submarine telegraphs
and the building Of facilities for the &C.
commodation of Inter State commerce, it
wields an influence upon local and ma.
tional legislation, which is so immense as
to be practically incomprehensablc, and
what is true ofthat influence thus applied,
is equally true of the power of associat-
ed capital in shaping local politics, and
controlling the votes of individuals. The
money power ofthis country has concen-
trated itself upon the home population
with a directness, and degree of persist
ency heretofore unknown in this vicinity.
There are but very few voters in this
country, if they owe anything, that have
not had their Indebtedness assigned as a
reason Why they should or should not sup
port some particular political movement.
We make no war against the legitiment
employment of money. Rightly used, it
is q great blessing. but if it relieves the
wants ofthe masses, temporarily, and cna.
bles the people to live while the products
of their labor are maturing and ripening
for the market, it possesses no virtue by
which it Is entitled to control mans &C.
tions or to give tendency to the political
action of the country. Those who borrow
it,pay IN kind full equivalent for its use,
and they arc under no obligation to serve
those Of whom they hire, but the people
need educating upon this point. The man
who holds the most notes, is regarded as
being able to control the most votes,-
hence In an emergency such as has just
passed, he is always out among his debt
ors. The time is coming when men are
to be emancipated from the bondage Of
money brokers, and enftanchised:with all
the rights which pertain to an honorable
citizenship.

From the New York Sun.

Mrs. Lowden, who died re-
Gently. in College Avenue, in
that part Of the city formerly
known as Mott Haven, made a
singular request on her death
bed. She was passionately fond
of dancing, and her death was
FASTENED by an over-indulgence
in that amusement. When she
realized that she was about to
die, she requested that her re-
mains might be laid out on a
board instead Of in a coffin, and
that she should be dressed in her
new ball dress Of flesh-colored
satin, with white slippers. She
also asked that a fashionable
hairdresser should9be employed,
to dress her hairin the latest
style, and that her head should
be turned to ohe side after death,
to show the hair to advantage.
Her desire was complied with,
excepting that a casket was sub
stituted for the board. After
the remains were arraye.dl for the
grave, the corpse was placed IN
a chair, the head turned togone
side in a life-like position, and

The way in which Federal
Office holders rapidly acquire for
tunes is well illustrated in the
case of Mr.. Thomas Williams,
National Bank Examiner, who
was in this place a few days since.
Mr.. Williams receives his ap-
pointment from the Government
and resides at Washington City.
He has the banks in several States
as district over which he eXer-
cises an examiners watchlul care,
and which he visits a stated num-
Der of times during the year, His
services are paid for at the rate of
five dollars per day, and two dol
lars for every twenty-five miles he
is compelled to travel in order 70
reach any bank within the scope
Of his territory. On Friday be
closed his labors at Lexington, and
the following day came to Rich
mond. The distance is twenty
five. miles, and for this be was en-
titled to two dollars, the regular
fare by stage His duties.- here

quired his actual labor only on
Friday and Saturday, which at
FIVE, dollars a. day gave him ten:
dollars, and this mileage would
make 8 twelve IdoIIafs1 Bot he
understands the routine Of how
not to do it, and thereby turns

making out his charges Rgainst
the banks for the amount actually
due him, he counts his mileace
at the rate stated for the whole
distance from Washington City to
Richmond for thre" separate trips,
or one to each bank. And in
place of twelve dollars he receives.
for one days work one hundred
and fifty dollars. Truly this a,

to cast severe reflections upon

they had given their evidence
they adjourned outside, and, af-
ter a lively dispute, concluded
that the best way to establish
their several claims to truth,
would be to fight the matter out
in good. old-tashioned, rough

upon George Chapman, who
was standing by, to part the
combatants, which George prof.
