Oolored independents.


The following call has been issued for
a mass meeting of the colored voters of
Philadelphia, to declare emancipation
from Boss bondage, and the character
of the men whose names are appended
thereto gives the best assurance that
the movement must largely divide the
colored vote of that city;
EMANCIPATION FROM BOSSES.
We, the undersigned citizens of Phila-
delphia, fully awake to the demands
upon our civil and political rights and
appreciating the duty and requirements
of freemen generally, with whom we
have common interest, and discerning
the present attitude of parties in
Pennsylvania, seeing the necessity OF
giving a manly expression publicly OF
our views and purposes bearing on
the coming contest, do propose, in
order to further this object, to hold q
public meeting at Liberty Hall, Lom
bard street, below Eighth, Monday
evening, September 4, 1882, to be ad
dressed by eminent speakers in sym
pathy with the Independent Republican
movem ent in Pennsylvania.

The Democratic Congressional Con-
ference for the Eleventh district will
meet at Mauch Chunk September G..
The district embraces Pike, Monroe,
Carbon, part of Lackawanna, part of
Luzerne, Columbia and Montour coun
ties. 1t is curiously shaped, and was
made to dissipate the several thousand
Democratic votes in this section 80 as
to secure safe Republican districts adj
jacent. The very large Democratic
majority incltes Democratic ambition,
and there are usually plenty of candi-
dates and stubborn contests for the
nomination. This year there will likely
be six names before the convention to
select a candidate from. Pike county
will present Dr. A f. Lewis, Monroe
will name John b. Storm, Lackawanna
will probably instruct for J. M. G. C.Ranck
and Luzerne will support j. A. German
while the Carbon county conferees will
be uninstructed Ex-senator Buckalew
is the choice of this county, and George
w. Miles, of Montour. Columbia
county urges her claim to the nomina-
tion on the ground that she has present
ed not only the ablest man in the dis
trict, but one Of national reputation. To
this she adds the fact that she has al
ways rolled up a large vote for the
Democratic ticket, Hancock's maiori-
ty being over $500, and it has been
thirty-f years since one of her citi-
zens has represented her in Congress,
and only one in seventy years. Lacka-
wanna, Carbon, Montour, Monroe,
Luzerne have all had Congressman in
recent years.
The nomination ought to be conceded
to us without contest, and the con
ference could do itself no greater credit
than by nominating Mr.. Buckalew
unanimously on the first ballot

The discovery of vein of coal near
Sioux City, Iowa, may not seem AN i'm
portant matter TO people in this neigh
borhood, but to those in that section,
where coal of the bituminous class will
range from seven TO nine dollars per
ton, and anthracite commands as high
as twenty-five dollars, it is just proba-
BILE that the find is one of considerable
significance.

About $50 pension certificates are
transmitted daily. The average amount
paid to each successful claimant under
the arrears act is $1,000. Thus we
have daily drain on our treasury of
about $190,000, or S1,000,000 week.
An additional force of 500 clerks will
be at work soon, then it is expected
that double the work will be done.
This will make the yearly appropria-
ton reach one hundred millions.

Forney's Progress, not a political
journal, but first-class in society matters,
has this to say of Pattison in late is
sue: ''If his youth is the most serious
objection to the Democratic candidate
for governor his opponents have hard
road to travel Pattison has already
filed important offices, and despite his
youth so filed them as to make record
for honesty and ability which drew to
his support men of all political faiths.
If the present condition of American
politics is due to the management of
old men the sooner we try young ones
the better. Pattison's enemies will have
to fight him for other faults. No voter
is afraid of him because he is young,
and many like him for exactly that
reason"

Circulars are being sent to soldiers
in different sections of the country, by
western parties, stating that for the sum
of $40 one hundred and sixty acres of
good land will be secured without the
formality of occupying it for four years
less the time of service, as provided
by law. The land commissioner at
Washington states that the law re-
mains unchanged, and that the circulars
are for the purpose of deception. Sol
diers will therefore take warning.

from Bloomsburg says shat there are
no Independents worthy of mention in
this county" Last year Wolfe receiv-

organization, and no general distribu-

active committee and the influence of
many leading Republicans who have
tired of the Cameron yoke, the vote
will be much larger than the sender of

Mining on the Conrstock

The Daily Report says that Ophir is
the only mine on the Comstock that is
producing ore in important quantities.
This ore is taken from narrow vein at
and near the surface, accidentally dis
covered by a man not connected with
the mine. II has so far yielded large
amount of ore, and may lead to a
large body that might have been over
locke ed in the workings, but the gener-
ally accepted belief is that it is only a
spur In nearly all the mines on the
Lode there are said to be large quaint
ties of ore left standing, but which, on
an average, will not pay to extract IN
der present conditions. Should no DO
nanZa be found on the lower levels,
these ores may be utilized, and they
will tend to save the mining on the
Comstock from extinction for the next
twenty years at least. A favOrite say
ing of Senator Fair is: "My son, there
will be mining Of ores on the Comstock
a hundred years after you and I are
peacefully reposing in our little blocks
of real estate in the cemetery" and all
who have made the subject of mining
study, believe there is truth in the prog
nosticatiOn.

Col. FOrney's Little Mistake.

Col. Forney's Little Mistake.
Col Forney was supremacy ard cur
iously Indifferent in money matters.
One instance that strongly illustrates
this trait has caused many a hearty
laugh among his acquaintance. Des-
pite the advice of many friends, among
them Pierce Butler, the husband of
Fannie Kemble, he determined to in
vest large sum in a new enter
prise rice-cleaning machine, or some
thing of that sort. He felt financially
able to do this by reason ofhaving made
a sale Of some Lake Superior property.
He filed out check on the Grard
bank for very large amount, and in
trusted it to friend for collection.
When the piece of paper was presented
to the paying teller, that officer first
scratched his chin and then went to see
the president Of the bank, who at the
time was Mr.. Boxer, father of Hon.
George H. Boxer Mr.: Boxer came
forward smilingly and said that while
Col. Forney had quite large sum of
money on deposit in the bank, the
amount to his credit was not equal to
that called for by the check, but still if
Col. Forney would step down to the
bank himself, the check would be hon
ored. The friend returned to the Press
office in an indignant frame of mind
and told Col Forney that he had made
him bearer of check that had been
dishonored, for the reason that there
was not sufficient funds in the bank.
"Some mistake, sir; some mistake,"
replied the big-hearted editor. 81 have
much more than that on deposit in the
-tank," and he uttered the name
of familiar depository other than the
Girard.
"But l did not 60 there" replied the
friend in amazement. "The check is
drawn on the Girard."
"My N.Y." said Col. Forney, add I
make such a silly mistake? Why
have not a penny in the Girard bank
did not intend to send you there"
90, yes, you have large deposit in
the bank" answered the friend, "but
it was not sufficient to meet this check"
ga mistake, sir a mistake" replied
Colonel al have not penny there"
A visit was made to the Girard bank,
however, and Col. Forney found to his
amazement that he was much richer
than he thought. In the same way,
when the Longacres' bank at Lancaster
failed, Col. Forney found that he had |
longtime deposit there that he had |
known nothing of. 1t was this inoif-
ference in money matters that exem-
plified probably as we'll as any other
trait the lavish disposition of the man
now mourned; not only with his
wealth, but with the more precious
treasures of his heart.
