prise. The price Of iron went down to a mar
velously low figure. Labor was a drug in
the market, and we could hire four men for
hc price Of one. Then the Almighty gave
us an open winter the entire season, We
were not called upon to pay our notes, and
so,.asE say, the Almighty favored us in
every condition-iron, labor and weather."
No less than $l3,OOO,OOO of stocks, and &c.,
100000 of bonds represent our elevated
railroads. Everybody knows, even without
such brasen confessions as the foregoing that
not the half of this enormous sum was ex-
pended. In other words, this pauper-mil-
lionaire and his friends have-to use plain
English-stolen. about fife, nmillion dollars
at one swoop, and eclpsed all the swindlers
of the old Tweed regime by half while
thanking Providence for special opportuni-
ties kindly youchsafed. In the face ofthese
revelations, openly Nvowed in the press Of
this city without contradiction, correction or
protest, if the next Legislature permits the
elevated roads to still charge ten cents fares,
the people will fully understand why. Do
you ask why call him a pauper-million-
aire? His Persoaul property. has been as
sessed at 800, 900, but he came before the
Tax Commissioners and swore that he was
not possessed Of one cents worth Of personal
property in the State which was not fully
covered by his debts, and on the strength of
this oath he has been exempted from the bur-
den of supporting the Government under
which he lives, aud from which he and his
millions receive protection.
From all of which gossip it plainly
appears that 1t takes all kinds ofmillionaires
to make a world. MORLEY.

POINTS IN poLITICs.

Philadelphia Ledger: The Greenbuckers
and their Communistic allies have toppled
over as quickly as the old-tim KnowN Moth
ings and Anti Masons did. Their ephemeral
local successes, at a time Of industrial de
preston and political excitement, induced
them to mount a very high horse, on which
they were going to sweep the country and
do a great many extraordinary things. Less
than two years have been sufficient to put
them out of the field. They have melted
like snow in Ohio and Iowa under the sun
light of reawakened prosperity. They are
scarcely a disturbing influence now, and are
simply throwing their votes away. There
is no cause for them to be any longer, except
that their leaders must have employment.
The Union Central League of Plttsburg
composed of colored voters, have resolved to
vote for Grant at the risk of their lives.
The Greenbackers of Northumberland
county have made the following nomina-
tions: For Register and Recorder, Samuel
F. Nevin, of Sunbury, and for Jury Com
missioner, Durton l.. Hall, OF the same
place.
Reports from Erie county state that the
campaign there this year is the quictest ever
known. The Republicans are confident of
success, the last election there having gone
in their favor. The Democrats are cndeav-
oring to get the Greenbackers to unite with
them.
= The Crawford County Democrat takes
cheer and consolation this year out of be-
lief that the Democratic party was swim
died in that county last year out of743 votes.
This, it says, cannot be repeated, and there
is therefore hope for the success ofthe Demo-
cratic ticket in that county.
The West SJhuyllill Press announces
that never in the history Of Schuylkill coun-
ty have candidates been so scarce as they
are this fall.
In the Schak-Whitehousc contest in
Schuylkill county the report ofthe Examin-
er has been taken exceptions to by Mr..
Whtehouse, the Republican, and the OK
penses ofthe case are likely to be increased
to $4,000.

OUR WARRINGTON SPECIAL.

WAsHINGToS, D. c., Oct. 25, 1879,
1t is prognostieated on all hands that the
approaching session Of Congress and the at
tendunt social season will be among the livli-

What everybody says must be SO and it is
indeed true that the indications are favora-
bic to lively times, commencing very soon.
Already there is larger number of strau-
gers here than have ever seen so early in
the season, and there are number of i'm

two or three "bang-up' weddings. Even
