The Associated Press, on Saturday, says
that Receiving Teller Underwood, OF the Re-
demption Agency at Washington, furnishes
the following in regard to the SIS counterfeit
on the First National Bank Of fTamaqua, Pa,
which shows how widely it is circulated and
how easy it is even for bank tellers to be
mistaken regarding the genuineness of a
note. The first counterfeit was received at
the Redemption Agency on the 22d Of last
September, since which over eighty have
been received. This counterfeit has been
received from thirty-six cities and towns
and twenty-four States. Its detection is a
matter Of certainty, as so far not one has
been seen with the correct charter number,
which is 1919, and which is printed across
the face of the note in large red figures The
counterfeiters in this case did not know the
significance of the charter number, as 23
numbers have appeared on this note, and
ten notes have been branded that have a
higher number than $500, whilst the high
est number of any genuine bank note is
1891.

At last there has been an article found
which is certain, safe and sure to do its work,
and is within the reach of all as regards
price, etc.; easily obtained, as every enter
prising druggist in New York, Brooklyn,
Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, and in fact,
all throug ii the country, keeps it constantly
on hand. DIR. Hale, a celebrated physician
of Europe, used it great many years in his
private practice, to the entire satisfaction Of
himself and patients. C.. N. Crittenton,
dealer in Patent Medicines and Druggists
Fancy Goods, Sixth avenue, New York
City, believing that this market required
just such an article. has purchased the same
at great outlay, and the public can rest as
sured that it will be prepared according to
the Original Recipe. Ask for Hales Honey
of Horehound and Tar. Take no other.

driving Respectfully,
Since that time we have received $40
from the County Committee Treasurer, ,Thos.
Carr, of Mauch Chunk. There is yet bal
ance due us of $25.39, which if paid will
about make us even for the amount we paid
out for labor and paper on the Greenbacker,
leaving us minus about 500 invested in the
purchase of additional material land for
which we have no use) to get out the paper.
We have sent and called for this $25 several
times, and they say we will get it sometime!
but they are poor; yet they could take our
money, (rightfully due us,) and pay for a
bastard sheet printed partly in New York
City and partly in Monroe county. This
is the treatment these great lovers of the
working man has dealt out to us-we claim
to be workingman-and from this, their
first effort of fnancering, we would ask our
fellow working men what they expect tc
gain should these political mountebanks
succeed in being elected to Office? Just moth.
ing at all their only effort would be to be-
come bloated bondholders," whom they
now effect to despise; if elected they would
undoubtedly, as Kearney says, " legislate fol
themselves" and their dupes, the working
men, might go to Hell-ertown or anywhere
else for all they would care. Workngmen
beware of them, and leave them severely
alone!

Speaking of Dennis Kearney as an ora
tor, the New York Sun, sums him up as
follows When man unbridles his tongue
and gives vent to unmeasured denunciation
and abuse, he is liable to suddenly acquire
a reputation for talent, merely because his
style of oratory is novel and startling. There
is reason to believe such has been the case
with Mr.. Dennis Kearney. His violent
language could hardly fall to arrest the at
tention of the public. But when we look
for ideas in his speeches, they are not to be
found. He talks, in vague and general
terms, and unintelligently, about evils for
which he proposes no definite remedy. He
raves. People may continue, for a little
while, to flock TO hear Mr.. Kearney. He
may draw great crowds if he comes to this
city. Still, we think there must be gen.
eral feeling of disappointment in him. He
simply proposes to tear down without any
project of rebuilding better He is q wild
destructive. Those who have sincerely at
heart the cause of the laboring man find il
impossible to see how it is to be aided by the
present efforts of Mr.. Dennis Kearney.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald says that the Republican
members of Congress from the West think
the coming political campaign is going to be
one of the hottest on record. 1t promises to
be even more exciting in Indiana and other
States than was the Presidential election two
years ago. These Congressmen say that the
course of Hayes in regard to the Southern
States, and in other things which have
caused his administration to be attacked, has
not really weakened or injured the party. 1t
has, on the contrary, stirred up the rank and
file of the party, and they mean to demon
strate next autumn that the party is not dead
and is not going to die. A careful survey of
the field indicates that the Republicans will
gain members of Congress in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and
possibly some in Illinois. They expect to
hold their own in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
most of the other Northern States. There
is going to be great fight. for the possession
Of Oregon lin June, as there is not only a
member Of the House and Senator depend
ing on the result, but by keeping possession
of the member from that State the Republi-
cans hope to be able to control the election Of
President, should it be thrown into the
House of Representatives in 1880. The Re
publicans are doing more work than the
Democrats at present, and, although the
chances are against them, they are in de.
cidedly hopeful mood. They expect that the
coming investigation of Hayes title will hurt
the Democrats more than it will hurt them
because they believe it will increase the
divisions in the Democratic ranks.

THE New York correspondent Of. the
argus shows excellent judgment and good
taste in avowing his liking for the PRESS
1t is not in human nature to be insensible
to his delicate compliment though he does
qualify it by the intimation that we have
fallen into wicked ways. The modest youth
blushingly hints that if suitable man can
not be found in this district to represent it
in Congress he will come down and run him
self, "rather than the show shouldn't 60 on"
The PRESS cannot support L. w. S., as
highly as it esteems him. The district is
getting along very well now as represented
by Mr.. Reed, a gentleman with whose good
qualities L. W. S. does not seem to be ac-
quainted. That, however, is his misfortune,
not his fault. L. w. S.. by the way, wishes
to be set right on the record. We certainly
have no disposition to seriously misrepresent
him. This is what he did say: "There
ought to be, however, somewhere in the
District, a first class man whom both Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers would prefer to Mr..
Reed-a man who Is neither Democrat nor
Greenback in the extreme sense, but accept
able to BOTH" That is, L. w. S. wants a
hybrid, something in the mule line. He Ger.
tainly will not fill that bill. He Is a full
blood.

A Heather Chinee.

The California Advertiser tells an ex.raordi-
nary story of Chinese thief, with the singular
name of Chew Kow Yup, who is about to re-
turn to Hong Kong with fortune of $4,000,
amassed in seven years upon the slender capi-
tai of four words in "pidgin English" His
first exploit was breaking into dry goods store
in which he was caught by policeman. When
collared he made no resistance but innocsntly
remarked, "You savee me leper,'' and the
officer fled, giving his prisoner the opportunity
to steal seven more undershirts, of which ne
promptly availed himself. He was only once
brought into court, being then charged with a
Wholesale diamond robbery, and when asked 10
plead guilty or not guilty, he simply repeated
the words of his charm in voice at once
plaintive and full of expression. The court
was cleared in less than forty seconds, TWO OF
the iury leaving their hats behind, and the
judge his gold spectacles, all of which Mr.
Chew Kow Yup appropriated, together with
the loose change in the clerks drawer. The
wealthy heathen is entirely free from leprosy.

THE Neao Era quotes with approval these
words from the PRESS: 'Tfthe United States
should increase in wealth for fifty years as
rapidly as it apparently did between 1850 and
1870, we should be worth more than all the
world together" The Ne,o Era omits to in
form It's readers that the increase In the de.
cade ending in 1870 was only apparent. not
lieve that we grew rich by the destruction Of
two thousand millions of capital, by the with
drawal of million of men from productive
employment and their use in the destruction
of property, by the desolation Of one half the
country. 1t is to believe that under these
circumstances we were growing rich with
speed that has never been approached since
the world began. 1t Is to believe that we
were growing rich at a rate which in fifty
years would lead to the possession of more
wealth by US than the entire world has been
able to accumulate since the creation Of man.
1t is to believe that we were vastly richer
in 1870 than we are to-day though the num-
ber of acres of land under cultivation in this
country has increased one-third since 1870,
the livestock nearly one-half, the wheat crop
by more than one half, the carn-crop one
fifth and other staple products in like pro-
portion. 1t is to believe that we have become
poor by the burning of few bits of paper Of
the intrinsic value at the most of few thous.
and dollars though we have much more
Of everything that goes to make wealth.
1t is to believe, in a word, that we have
grown poor since 1870 by paying por-
ton of our debts and increasing the
quantity of the products of our land.
The truth is we owe less and own more than
we did eight years ago. No cunning Jug
glery of figures, no use of shortened measures
Of value can change that fact.

As very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving it is to nse il as
sparinxly as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cuItivatinx peace, but re-
membering also that timely disbursements
TO prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements to repel il ;
avoiding likewise the accumulation of
debt, not only by stunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exerti0ns in time

avoidable wars may have occasioned, mot

THE argument for the publication of poll
tics by the admission of women to the privil.
ege Of the ballot is seriously weakened of late
by the conduct of the leaders of the suffrage
movement. They show as great willing
ness to avail themselves of disreputable in
struments in furthering their work as ever
the most depraved politician did. Their
afiliation with the commune of the currency
agitators is not likely to create very ardent
belief in their patriotism, wisdom and politi-
cal sense,
