Tile Neil Stop. *; i*t ..i - ' •— ..•J^ittg, now, to supercede Uia Pros- Went ol'llio United Suites, by General Grinit, tlu» Hnclivnl inuntipers may bo cxj>eo.tod to push their iiupoiiohmont ionwpjrtioy with renewed vigor. Ho- publican journals which liavo heretofore nosiuited to follow the Ashley-Conover Clique\ are now giving in their adhesion to'\lt wo lii'iir of various members Of tlio lining Congress, who, nl the lust MOKKIOII^ Wile il]llix|>OHC>cl tl ) OMeoUtllge tlio plot, nro now fulling in with the clamor, mid tlio clamor, no doubt, will grow louder and louder, as the time for the ri'iisbombling of tlio Central Direc- tory draws near. This Radical party are determined to hold on t o power, at all hazards. They are afraid of the. peo- ple, and hence they do not intend to wait till the regular Presidential olee- tion comes along, to obtain a successor to Mr. Johnson. The Presidential elec- tion is fiotiic fifteen months remote vet, und tho people, by that lime, may be in no mood to continue the debt-ami tax- Iton party in power for another term of lour years. Hence, thoy havo coiielud «d to steal a march upon the people, to fceo if, by tho process of impeachment, they cannot put Ben. Wade or some other demagogue of that doseiiption in tho Presidential chair. That would no\V seem to be tho programme. The people themselves, meanwhile, can d o Something to arrest it, and to give the 'conspirators to understand that the ftiaking ot tho President is their busi- ness, and not the business of a Hump Congress which has about as valid a claim to represent, and therefore, to speak and act for the people.- that is UiO whole people.—of the United States, as it has t o ppeak and act for the peo- ple of Great Ibituin and Ireland. Delay in. Paying the Extra Bounty. Representative Payne, of Wisconsin, has published a letter replying to many inquiries from soldiers as to the delay in paying tho extra bounties ordered by the act of July, 1800. He makes this statement as t o the amount of la- bor involved in tho payment of these bounties: \That in cases of claims made by living soldiers, the Paymaster General makes the payment upon certificates inVnished on this application, by the Second Auditor, who has the custody •of the muster out rolls of the army, ami, Upon an examination of those rolls, cer- tifies the facts in each case; that forty- five clerks were employed in the exam- ination of I lie rolls and preparation of these certificates for the Paymaster General and for the Commissioner of Pensions, who settles certain claims for pensions upon like ecru fixates ; that a* many clerks ware outraged in this work ws could be safely employed ; that theie had already accumulated in the office of the Second Auditor, ninety thousand unanswered applications of the Pay- master General for such in format ion, and in the Pay master General's oHioo, <nbout 150,000 cases in which appliea tions had not been forwarded to the Second Auditor; that diiriiiir the la*t three months the Second auditor had «ms\Vered the Paymaster General's ap- plications at. the rale of 12,693 per nmnlhf that the settlement ot all the bounties du e tinder (he act, could not be effected in less than three years.\ REVIVAL OF HCSINKSS.— With the Wioowiug of .September, says the New York Jsfaprexe, the signs are in favor of a general insiva^c in trade all over the •country, add the breaking up of the almost unprecedented stagnation which has pVevailed, in business circles, dar- ing the -summer. A glance at t he daily lengthening fets of arrivals at the city hotels, will show n great influx of coun- try merchants. The jobbers' rooms, tbe counting bouses, and the various marts of commerce, in the lower part. of the city, abundantly attest their presence al&o. It is pleasant, moreov- over, to observe the same symptoms of renewed activity at the West, where business affairs liave been so long under a cloud. THE STATE Convention call of the Radicals is out for the last week in Sep- tember. A proposition to strike 'Union' from their name was tabled in State Committee by a small majority. Let them strike it out by all means. Next ) let them eraso the name Republican. They have already destroyed the Union, and are now aiming to eviscerate the republic. The true name would be the IF. P. Radicals—false pretence radicals. They conducted the war on false pre- tences.. They ended the fighting on false pj'etences. They are now aiming at new leases £>f power on false pre- tences. SLBOTIOITCS,— : The States which hold their elections on the 5th ox November are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri an d Nevada. A RADICAL CONGRESS especially came together in order to perfect their Mili- tary Reconstruction bill. Gen. Grant has found it full of flaws. They will meet ifl Jf orember to tinker it again. —Some of the Texas papers sav that corn vi\)] eell in that State next fall, at. twenty-five c^nts a bushel. Th o pcaoh crop is rcportod to to unusually abund- ant. One Hundred and Eighty Mil- lions u Year. The pcoplo of this State aro paying taxes to the amount of One Hundred and Eighty Millions a year I Thin is an amount almost fabulous. It is difficult to realized that tho industry and capital of tho Stato is burdened with sued an enormous load. How long can the people ondui'o these heavy taxes ? Is it not timo that de- mands were made for rigid economy in the affairs of government? If there is to bo Reform, it must como from the People, They must compel their pub- lic servants to adopt measures that will lighten tho burdens which now oppress them. In 1346, under Democratic manage- ment, the expenses of tho Stato Gov- ernmoiit were f 750,000. In I860, un- der Republican management the Stato government cost the people $3,500,000! Who believes there is any public neces- sity for this vast increase? Who does not know that this great change is ow- ing to the extravagance and corruption with which public affairs are managed? Look at tho oxpensivo Commissions that have been imposed upon our cities, and even upon portions of tho rural counties 1 Th o thousands of useless offi- ces that have been created to force money from tho pockets of tho people, and the corruption and profligacy that prevail in the management of our pub lio works ! The remedy, we repeat, is with the people. This fall they are to choose a new Canal Board and a new Senate and Assembly. Will not the masses see to it that honest and faith- ful men are chosen to take care of their interests? Is it not apparent, that it is absolutely necessary to return to the old system of Democratic economy in the administration of our public affairs? We believe the people will so decide. A Viuvv O P 'i in-: SITUATION.—The Now York //e/'cW contains a sensation- al editorial article upon what it calls the \ Di'velopoment ot tho Political Struggle,\ which is withal spiced with considerable sound doctrine. It says the black man is losing his force. The tide lias reached its flood. We have cursed the negro by too rapidly eleva- ting him, and in the coining reaction he will curse us. We have done this for political purposes, says the Jlcrnld, and in the emancipation of the h'acks have gone so far that we threaten to enslave tho whites. After commenting upon tho eminent- ly piopjr action of the President in re- ed to have been kindled through the moving such of the military command ers as forget, in their partisan ardor, their duty and obligations to superior officers, it urges that all be swept away until a set be found who can under- stand that thoy are responsible to the l'Aeeulive. The black must now take his place in fhe ratio of his ability, and, in common with all our people, work out his own salvation, as brain light brings form. The wave of military dictatorship, and the wave of ignor- ance, that are threatening our ropuhli eanism, must, be swept, away, and the Inundations of our government laid up- on the educated brain. The stroke which can accomplish this, in view of the Ilcrahl, is universal amnesty. WOMAN'S WORK INTIIK CIVIL WAH. —The leaders of publications that have been thrown on tlio market since the war, find too i\'\v among the number worthy the eucouium they hope to re- ceivi—which when gained lend to the prnlit. of the publisher as well as t o the roptita'ion of the writer. The achievements ami participants in the war have called forth many ephemerial works, some scarcely worth mentioning, while there are also, a limited number, whi.'h will live to meet a hb»ral support hereafter. Among the most worthy the perusal of the public, is a work by Dr. h. P. Brocket, with an introduction by Henry W. Bellows, D. D. , bearing the caption, \Woman's Work in the Civil War,\ being a record of the hero- ism, patriotism, and patience of the brave women of our country through the late sanguinary strife. The work throughout bears evidence of unmistak- able gift and care in preparation. The excellent paper is covered with finest typography. Sixteen steel engravings (no coarse wood cuts such as illume cheap publications) embelish its pages. It is divided into six parts classifying the distinguished ladies who served their country's cause \ministering to the sick in the camp, field and general hospitals\—in aid societies—in soldiers' homes—on government transports— and on the scone of carnage. On an examination wo conclude no more carefully prepared work has been brought ou t b y the war. The sketches of bravo deeds and heroic actions and achievements of our loved wives,dnngh- ters, sisters and country-women should find a responsive support in every fam- ily. We have no doubt many have been fortunato enough to place this choice volume among their collection of books, those who -have not should do so, as no better record has been pro- duced, nor perhaps can be, than this, of woman's work in the war. Zeigler, McCurdy & Co., the pub- lishers, Philadelphia, will give the agen- cy of this book to such as apply to them. I t is a fine opportunity for lady canvasser<f,who will find large and profit- able sales. •LLJULL'..

Hops.—We copy tho following para graphs from a circular lately issued by Emeret Wells, Ne w York, which will interest hop growers in this vicinity : No particular branch of hop culture throughout this country is so seriously neglected as that of\ clean picking; while in England and Germany, grow- ers lake great pride in doing this part of their work well. We have no better proof of the ad- vantages to he gained by (dean picking, than the fact that foreign hops always command a higher pr'cein our markets than the hops of native growth. ' This increased value ot foreign hops is attri- buted by hop dealers to their greater cleanliness, not to any superiority in the hop itself, as our climate and the fertility of our soil is surpassed by that of no other country.

FATAL ACCIPKMT.—Monda y after noon, about 4 o'clock, Mr. Thomas Brady, residing near Deer River, came to his death In a shocking manner. Mr. U. was standing in front of a yoke of oxen attached to a large roller, and was about, unhitching them, when the oxen ran against him,knocking him clown and the roller turning over him, breaking his neck. Ho died almost instantly. Ho leaves a family and many friends to mourn his sudden loss. White, the contractor, was killed, a Mr. James was badly bruised about the face and head, another man had his hand crushed, and two others received se- vere contusions. Mr. White was a cit- izen of Pulaski. ACCIDENTS.—Mr . A. P. Lyon, of Os- wego, was thrown from his carriage on Thursday last, near Port Ley den, striking on his face, which was cut and mutilated in a shocking maimer. Mr. Lyon's team became frightened and ran against a telegraph pole, the con- cussion throwing him out. —Eli Moiriam, Esq., of Leyden, was thrown from a carriage last week, and had three ribs broken. COUNTY COURT.—The Septembe r term, which commenced yesterday, has but little business before it except in the criminal line. The calendar con- tains only ten cases, while the Grand Jury lias twelve eases to act upon, and twelve criminal causes are to be tried. The Court House, the ceiling and roof of which for a long time lias been sadly out of repair, has lately been patched up, and is now considered to be in safe condition. In Ballynally, Ireland, recently, the wife of Mr. Patrick Mnllin presented him with five children, three sons and two daughters. All were born alive. Four survived their hiith but a short time, and one is still living. The blight in the hop crop of Eng- land is confirmed. Reports from Bel gium, Franco, Bavaria and Bohemia are favorable. In the population of Paris one person out of 1,7.12 is a registered and relieved pauper. PLANTINUTUKKS.—The London Build- er says that if people planting orchards would give orders to mark thy north side of trees with red chalk before ther are taken up, and when set out to have the trees put in the ground with theiy north side to tho north, in their natural position, a larger proportion would live, as ignoring this law of nature is the cause of many transplanted trees dying. If the north side bo exposed to the south, the heat of the sun is too great for that side of the tree to bear, there- fore it dries up and decays. SEHENAOB.— Last Wednesday even- ing the Lowville Brass Band paid a visit to Carthage, favoring many of our citizens with some ot their choicest pieces of music, and which were excel- lently performed. In tho course of the evening they were joined by our band, mid together—numbering thirty instruments—they performed several pieces. We trust the bonds of friend- ship between the two Bands, thus pleas- antly commenced, mav never be broken but continued to the advantage and en- joyment of both.— Carthage Republi- FRESHET.—During tho rain storm last night, Peter Kirley's saw mill, sit- uated en Crystal Creek, in Watson, was swept from its foundation by the torrent, torn to pieces, and scattered along the course of the creek.

The con- clusion arrived at is that these remains have been frozen into the ancient gla- cier covering the country, as were the remains of the mammoth found in Sibera; and that, on the melting of the glacier, these remains were dropped or carried into the cavities where they have been found. The remains of the fossil ele- phant occur under similar circumstances, and were no doubt coeval with the mastodon. This theory places exis- tonce of these animals anterior to the present geological epoch and to the last glacial period. t wenly inces thick ware broken in two The saws and other utensils were car- ried off, and some wagons which stood near the mill were torn to fragments. Several bridges in Watson were de- stroyed, and much other damage done. Petrio's mill was saved by great exer- tions, but piles of lumber on a hank ten feet higher than the mill foundation were swept away. A gentleman who lives on Shaw Hill says he never saw so severe a storm be- fore. It seemed as though the clouds were let loose on that particular locality, while the frequent flashes of lightning and heavy peals of thunder, gave it an unearthly aspect. very important that hops should b dried before being baled, otherwise there is danger of their sweating and heating in the bale. GOOD TEMPLAR'S CONVENTION-.—C. G. Riggs, K*q., of Turin, a prominent and influential worker in the temper- ance cause, has furnished ns with the proceedings of the Convention held at Turin on the 29th and 30th ult., but we find it impossible to publish the whole, this week's issue being in type when the copy was brought in. From the copy furnished us, wo give below some interesting temperance statistics, as reported by Rev . Mr. Ball: There arc now about :)80 Lodges in the Slate, including a membership of not. loss than 28,000, among whom aie many men and women of influence and ability. Much good is being done, drunkards aro being reclaimed, and heart-broken family circles made to re- joice. In fact the Good Templars are now the leading temperance organiza- tion in the State. Forty-nine counties have lodges. The older is flourishing everywhere. They have a Grand Lodge in Canaudn, and recently one has been organized in New Jersey. A round aggregate of about 350,000 members is their present number. In this district there are now 155 lodges,— lacking only 40 of being half the whole number in the Slate. Reports were made from tho various lodges in this county. Ail wwre pros- pering, and the number of members constantly increasing. A resolution was passed recommending frequent meetings of the lodges in Convention, and Lowville was designated as the point for holding the next one. The committee on the State of the Order made the following report i We find the order ot Good Templars in this county in a very healthful and prosperous condition. Lodges are be- ing instituted and built, up, and a strong popular feeling is beinjr manifest ted on the subject of temperance, and in favor of total prohibition. The first Lodge organized in the county, was instjuued at Barnes Cor- ners, on the 16tlf day of July, 18G6, with 26 charter members; since that time nine other Lodges have been in- stituted and we now have a total of 10 Lodges, with 1150 members. We are highly pleased to note the earnest and unfaltering sense of duty, and the life-long responsibility of our obligation, on the part of our officers and members of all t he Lodges, ;ts man- ifested in this convention. Our standard is held aloft by the hands of the bravest, truest and ablest citizens of the country. Very many noble men, rescued from the dost rover's power, now march with us, and are foremost in assaults upon the domin- ion of King Alcohol, and loudest in thanksgiving for the-blessings ot Good Templarism. Truly the blessing of Al- mighty God has attended us, and to- day we would devoutly thank Him for his supporting grace in the past, and we will continue to implore his Divine aid and direction in all the I'uiii-e, and never shall we cease to labor in this good cause, until the fist man is saved troni the cutohes of the arch enemy. The Secretary, at the close ot the proceedings, says : Thus passed off the first Good Temp- lar's Convention, ever held in Lewis Co.,with satisfaction,pleasure and profit, and all that attended feel ilint the cause of 'temperance has received a motive power that is destined to push its success to a perfect and full comple- tion. The cause is fast gaining popu- larity and the sentiment, of this conven- tion is that, every fallen man and woman may be reclaimed and brought- within the foldB of safety. —There were thirty yellow fever in- terments in New Orleans on Monday. , C'll'Hi'K E.Nll.li.V VlMiS.— X nelillomail is canvassing this roiiuly f\|- ihc sale ot Homo beautiful eitgruv itl^s, u liich cmo within the reach of all, at Hie moderate .price of $1.50 each,—encased in tin oval J frame, ready to plnoo upon the wall.—• He has throe specimens, one \Washing- lion and His Family,\ another \ Lincoln ] und His Family\ and a third \ Grunt in ' Peace,\ thu ihiuo forming a line group I for the parlor.

Harding purposes reopening her select school for small boys and girls on Mon- day, September 9lh, in the south wing ot the Academy. From the well established reputation of Miss Harding as an instructor of youth, we are assured she will receive the support of those who have children to be educated. We are most happy to be able to recommend Miss Harding, Did parents realize the importance of having the minds of their children ] roperly disciplined while in the pre- paratory school, there would be fewer failures in life. Properly and judiciously direct the youthful mind and success in the high- er branches is almost always certain. Those having children to be educa- ted, and desirous of placing them when! their minds will be disciplined and a proper difetion given to their developing moral as well as intellect ual powers, would do well to apply to Aliss Harding without delay, as we under- stand her uu nber of pupils will be lim- ited.
