We throw away a chance last Fall to reduce tho Democratic vote, at leas The timo table of tho South Mountain railroad, which appears in The Herald, is not correct, the managers of the company taking so little interest in their road as not to notify us of their change of time.

Miss Ella Taylor, young lady residing at that place, fell into a trance Beveral weeks since, and after remaining iu her deathlike state for twenty-one days, suddenly revived, and arose from hotbed hale and hearty. During tho entire duration of tho trance sho had catcli no food and partaken of no nourishment of any description whatever.

Tho wholo of tho natural faculties and functions appeared to be in a state of perfect suspension. Tho case excites an unusual dogreo of interest, and has been the subject of earnest medical investigation.

The report stating that Allen Pinkerton, the detec-tivo employed iu tho Nathan murder case, had proceeded to Scotland in search of Forrester, the alleged murderer, proves to be without foundation. The detective states that ho went to Europe in October last, for recreation and rest from business, and did not hear of tho proclamation issued by Superintendent Kelso, of New York, iu relation to the murderer until his return to the United States.

Forrester's parents do not rosido in Scotland. They aro both now dead, having died in New Orleans somo time ago. About two months ago Forrester was working in company with two burglars, Dave Cummings and Deigo Frank, of Atlanta, Georgia. One of tho pals of the burglars, named Tom Scott, recently sentenced to the Penitentiary, confessed this a few days ago. Ho further said that Forrester had gone olf to dio of consumption, as ho was suffering from a severe attack.

Wo believe that hitherto no publication has been made of tho results of tho census showing tho separate numbers of whites and blacks. Wo present our readers with such tables, which can be relied on as accurate and official. They will furnish the thoughtful citizen with food for reflection and speculation, and should bo carefully preserved.

Wc havo spent some hours in analyzing these tables and comparing them with thoso of the census of 1800, and with the following results The increase of the aggregate population of allthe States and Territories during the ten years is 0,902,429, and tho rate of incense is above twenty-ono and nine-tenths per cent. The increase of the whole white population is and the rate of increase is 24.4 per cent. Tho increase of tho white population in tho Northern or originally Freo States is 5,137,848, aud the rate of increase is "7.4 per cent. Tho increase of the white population in the Southern States is 1,335,201, and the rate of increase is 10.0 per cent. Tho aggregate increase of tho black population iu tho United States is and the rate of increase is 7.0.

The increase of the black population iu the Southern States is 188,052, and the rate of increase is 4.6 per cent. Tho increase of tho black population in the Northern States is 119,192, and the rate of increase is 52.7 per cent. The increase of the wholo population in tho Territories, including the District of Columbia, is 187,081, and theTate of increase is 74.0 per cent. This statement refers to the Territories which remained in that condition iu 1870. Nebraska and Nevada, which were Territories iu 1860, had in the meantime become States, and are therefore ranked as such in the tables and in theso comparisons.

The incrcaso of the white population iu the Territories is 154,315, and the rate of increase is 05. 5 per cent. The increase ot tbe black population 'n the Territories is 30.36, aud the rate of increase is 208.9 per cent. An inspection of the tables will show that the considerable increase of the population of the Southern States has taken place chiefly iu thoso on the northern border of that section that is to 8ty, in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky aud Missouri, and that a diminution of the number of the blacks has taken place in these bolder Slates except iu Maryland, where the increase is slight. The greatest increase in the number of blacks in the South has taken place in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Florida and Alabama.

In tho two Virginias, compared with the old State, there is exhibited a loss of 80,018 blacks. Iu Georgia, also, thero is a falling off of blacks, and a considerable increase of whites. Other comparisons ill suggest themselves to the intelligent reader who has a copy of the census of 1800 at hand. population, 1870. Slato.

Wallace, Chairman. THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT AND NOMINATIONS. Tho struggles for nominations in tho Democratic party of this county, which was carried on with even moro than ordinary energy and bitterness, terminated on Saturday. It was a long, fierce, and in many respects disgraceful scramble, and every citizen of the county, including even the defeated candidates, rejoices that it is over. Every township and voting district was canvassed, and every voter of Democratic proclivities was forced to tho polls.

The entire poll amounted to 3,997, which is almost equal to tho largest voto the Democracy has ever given, even at a general election. We have heard some stories relative to the Democracy here, which wo propose to give for what they are worth. It is said, that for a while there was a considerable trouble in tho minds of the leaders, as to what constituted a man enough of a Democrat to voto at a primary election. It was proposed by a rather verdant politician, that each voter should be required to tako an oath that ho would support the constitution of tho United States and tho "new departure." Tho gentlemen who made this suggestion was promptly put down, with the information that a standard of that kind wouldn't loavo men enough in tho party to mako election officers of. Somo other gentleman had prepared tho form of an oath to bo administered, about as fol-fows You do swear by the ancient memories and traditions of tho Democratic party, that you aro now, always havo been, and will forcvor bo a Democrat that you have never voted for a radical and never will do so that you believo and subscribe to all tho platforms and principles of the Democratic party from the days of Jackson to this timo, moro especially, howovor, sinco tho days of Franklin ricreo that you believo in tho justice, policy, and divinity of tho institution of slavery, and tho separate rights of the States, particularly in their right to se-ccdo that yon aro opposed to all means and measures that are intended to proscrvo order and peace, particularly when tho disorderly persons aro Democrats that you believo in the largest liberty of speech, thought and action, except when Radicals desire to think, speak or act that in the roccnt difficulties in New York you approve tho course of Mayor Hall, in suppressing the Orangemen, and of Governor Hoffman in shooting down the Irishmen that you endorse and approve the expenditure of vast amounts of money by tho politicians of New York, in the fitting up of public buildings, because that enables their politicians to steal enough of money to carry tho election in Pennsylvania that you believo in tho superiority of the white raco, politically and otherwise, and that you believe, also, in the new departure that you beliove in the navment of the National dobt, as it is no longer safe, politically, to talk of its repudiation that you believe in economy in State and local government, provided that doesn't prevent the building of bridges, insane asylums, for tho bonefit of officials when it may be necessary to do so.

And further, if there is anything in this that will prevent you from voting at this primary election or any other, you are to tako it with a huge mental reservation." This oath was said to be favored by all the active politicians for somo time, but was finally dropped for tho reason, that tho greater part of it might bo forgotten, even after it had boon taken. As the machine was thus to be started without preliminaries, tho voting on Saturday was brisk from tho beginning to the closo. The results may be thus briefly stated Judge Graham, Miller, 1,314. Associate Judges Blair, 1,160 Clen-denin, 2,173 Montgomery, 2,001 Pal-mor, 1,140 Waggoner, 911. District Attorney Beltzhoover, 1,470 Emig, 1,070 Herman, 1,447.

It is hard to toll exactly tho significance of these nominations, iii regard to tho different rings of the party. Tho slato is entirely too big, and tho complication too numerous, to set tho result down to any particular influence.

Wo boliovc, however, that the majority of tho candidates, who wcro winners, were strongly supported by tho Volunteer, and that the result is claimed as a Brattou victory. Well, to tho victors belong the spoils." The Democratic journals pretend that a discovery has been made that tho Treasurer of the United States, at Washington, has largo sums of money which aro unaccounted for. It is most surprising that this discovery should be made, just as tho villainies of the New York Democracy are being published to the world. If it weren't for tho truthfulness of Democratic journals, we would suspect that this thing was manufactured as an offset. Ran Off, A horso attached to a machine, started from tho stablo of Mr.

Tho Town Council, at a meeting held on Friday evening last, passed tho following resolutions Resolved, That from and after this date no person shall be allowed to sell, or keep for sale, any article on the Mar ket Square, at any other time than on Tuesday and Friday afternoon, and dur ing market hours on Wednesday and Saturday, of each week, and that the Chief Burgess bo instructed to enforce the provisions of this resolution. Resolved, That the High Constable be instructed to prevent all lounging of idle persons iu the Market House, or on the Market Square. Refreshingly Cool.

On Thursday ovening last, between 8 aud 9 o'clock, when tho train, having on board tho Lutheran Sabbath School, arrived at its destination, somo person, in order to give the "picnicists" light, and to dispel the darkness of blackness that reigned supremo," kindly lit the gas in the lamp on the corner of East High and Bedford streets. This was scarcely accomplished, until it was very unceremoniously "turned off," sumo one remarking that it was a moonlight night." If it was, it was without question, tho darkest moonlight we ever witnessed. By reference to the almanac we learn that the moon did not rise, on the night in question, until 9.20 p. in. We think it was the coolest piece of work wc havo heard of lately.

-49. Heavy Rain. Wo were visited with a very heavy rain on Monday evening last, accompanied with thunder and lightning. It was the heaviest rain that has visited this place for a number of years. The streets were filled with water, presenting tho appearance of a canal, and many cellars, in different parts of the borough, were inundated.

Tho basement of Dr. W. II. Cook's residence, on South Pitt street, was filled with water to tho depth of several feet. This was caused by tho narrow culvert under tho railroad, forcing tho water back against tho doors, breaking them open, and Hooding tho room.

The Doctor fixes his loss at $.500. We understand that he intends instituting proceedings against the borough for the damages sustained. Picnics. Ono night last week, a party of young folks, of this place, held a moonlight picnic at Hunter's Run. Tho train containing tho party left tho C.

V. R. R. depot at six o'clock p. and was joined by a number of persons at Mount Holly, so that by the timo they reached the grounds thero wero about 50 persons present.

Having obtained tho services of a violinist before leaving town, and tho lights having been arranged, tho "light fantastic" was tripped, and everything moved along as "morry as a marriage bell." Refreshments wero gotten up by tho ladies, they having taken tho precaution to furnish basket contributions. At a lato hour the "picnicists" loft tho grounds and arrived in town about 1 a. tho participants expressing themselves as highly delighted with the pleasures of the eveuing. The Bethel Sabbath school held a picnic in Watts' grove, on last Thursday. About 100 persons took part on this occasion, and everything passed off pleasantly, and to tho entire satisfaction of all interested.

TnE same day tho Lutheran Sabbath school held a picnio at Hunter's Run. Tho train, numbering about fifteen cars, lift "Thorn's corner" at half-past seven a. m. It was estimated that there wero between 000 and 800 persons on the grounds during tho day in fact tho number was so great that they did not have "table room" sufficient, and wero obliged to take to Mother Earth. The committcQ had taken tho necessary precaution to guard against any disturbance that might arise, and to that end had procured tho services of officors of tho law.

It was, decidedly, the largest and most successful picnic of tho season, and tho Committee of Arrangements can flatter themselves on tho highly creditable manner in which tho entire programmo was carried out. A Union" picnic was held by tho congregations of the Bethel and Wesley (colored) churchos, of this place, tho samo day, at tho Covo hill, along tho banks of tho Conodoguinet creek. They are said to havo enjoyed themsolvos "muchly," and returned to town about 9 o'clock in the evening. ON Friday last, several families "pio-niced" at the Meeting House Springs. St.

Stephens (Lutheran) Sabbath School, of Now Kingston, held a picnic at "Sporting Green," Saturday, the fifth instant, which was largely attended. Tho school, which is large and flourishing, was addressed by Rev. Sheaffer, pastor in charge, and Rev. H. R.

Fleck, of Newvillo. Both young aud old, parent and child, seemed happy with the entertainment of the day. This we believe, was the first picnic of the season, that was hold successfully, on account of the absence of rain. Sunset found all on their way homo, better and happier for tho day's recreation. enough to mako their managers put good men aud their office holders euav0 themsolvos.

Thoy will certainly be prepared to act more wisely at tho election. Lot us, then, havo a full convention, a good tickot, and an activo canvass. Let every Republican voto in the county bo polled, and McCandloss will havo no very largo majority to boast of.

Tub Franklin County Democratic Convention met last week, and nominated tho following ticket President Judge Hon. J. M'Dowoll Sharpe, (subject to tho decision of tho Judicial Conference Senator Hon. C. M.

Duncan, (subject to the decision of the Senatorial Conference Representative Maj. A. J. North Associate Judge Hon. James B.

Orr Sheriff Abraham Hafer Treasurer J. Logan Kennedy District Attornoy Joseph Douglas Commissioner John Croft Director of tho Poor Jacob J. Miller Auditor Dr. Isaac Clugston Surveyor John W. Kuhn.

A long string of resolutions was passed eulogistic of tho Bomocratio party and its candidates, and denunciatory of the other side, but they wisely steer clear of the new departure business. It was supposed from the tone of the leading Democratic organ in that county, that tho Democrats thero were fully up to the advanced ideas of tho party, but the Convention seems to havo ignored the whole question. The Democratic leaders evidently think that policy is better than honesty. "General William McCandless is a man of the people. Ho can to-day tako down a locomotive, and can refit and equip it, and when thus refitted he can seize its lever, and with it safely draw a train of cars over tho heaviest grade" Exchange.

This is wonderful. Wo imagine, of course, that the General can do all this irrespective of the size of the engine, the elevation of tho grade, or the weight of tho train. It is amazing, what some gentleman can do, when their friends have the statement of their capacities. Tho General will, however, have a chanco to test his powers. lie is tho engineer, at present, of tho Democratic party.

That rickety old locomotive was taken apart when ho was nominated last Spring, reconstructed, cleaned up, and tho General put aboard to run tho machine. If ho don't find out beforo October that he has a heavier load, if steeper grade, and a poorer engine than ho ever ran during his days of railroading, we will confess that wo arc mistaken in the matter. It is rather unfortunate that tho Democracy of this county do not hold conventions, in order that they might express themselves on tho political issues of the day. Wo would liko to see tho commotion which a new departure resolution would produce in a Cumbeiland county convention. Then, too, thero would bo a fine chance to express the confideuco the Democracy have in -the capacity and integrity of the County Commissioners.

Indeed there are many interesting topics for resolutions just at this time. But as there are no conventions, there can bo no resolutions, and as silence gives consent, we may presume that the Cumberland County Democracy believo in tho new departure, endorso the county administration, and, in short, are in full communion with the members of tho party in Philadelphia, New York, and elsewhere. "The reduction of the public debt during the month of July was only Tho income of the government, besides "extras," was over $33,000,0001 the legitimate expenses of the government were about $12,000,000, leaving only $13,000,000 unaccounted for." Democratic Excliange. The "bright little boy" sometimes mistakes his figures. The legitimate monthly expenses of the Government aro over 24 millions, instead of 12 millions.

Tho 13,000,000 which you suppose aro missing, just went to pay the interest on the National debt, which the treason of some of your politicians created. Tho score at the Treasury is right all the time. The New York I'imes invites attention to tho following figures DEBT OP NEW YORK CITY.

Nearly nine millions of tho public debt wero paid during tho month of July.

Two iiundiied AND FORTY-TWO MILLIONS paid since Grant was inaugurated. This is about as satisfactory financiering as wo remember to have seen lately. What does each of tho gentlemen who were beforo tho Democracy for nomination last Saturday, think of his opponents, and of tho party generally. Wo would like very much to repeat some of the remarks that wo casually overheard during tho canvass, but this would be improper and out of order. Nobody fully comprehends tho Democracy except Democrats.

Wnn.E Gen. Grant's administration is preserving peaco and order over tho entire nation and rapidly paying the debt, a Democratic administration in New York cannot preserve the peaco in that one city, and tho debt is increasing with most frightful rapidity. Tho people should vote the difference when they come to vote. Senator Chandler's daughter is reported engaged to Representative Halo, of Maine. Error.

Tho dedication of the Soldiers' Monument, on Saturday, the nineteenth instant, promises to bo a grand and imposing affair. Tho secret organizations, fire companies, and soldiers of tho lato war tiro expected to take part in the parade. We hare been informed that the.

Knights Templar have accepted the invitation extended them, and will bo mounted on this occasion, forming an attractive feature of tho parade. Sneak Thieves. On the evening of the moonlight picnic, some thief or thieves, taking advautago of tho darkness, confiscated a number of silver knives forks from the baskets containing the provisions. Several suspicious looking individuals had been seen on tho grounds in the early part of tho eveuing, and no doubt they aro tho guilty parties. We would suggest tho propriety of persons leaving their silverware at their homes in the future.

Leg Broken. On Thursday evening last, as Dr. John A. natton, of this place, was returning from tho Lutheran picnic, he met with an accident, by which ho had his loft leg broken. lie was seated in Dr.

Searight's buggy, at the time, driving tho Doctor's trotting horse, accompanied by a friend, and in attempting to pass another vehicle on the Baltimore turnpike, about 1J miles south of this borough, tho Doctor was thrown out, breaking his loft log, between the ankle and knee. Ho was placed upon a wagon that happened to bo closo by, and conveyed to tho residence of Mrs. Scariglit, on East Louther street. Tho limb was sot by Drs. Zitzer and Bixler, and tho Doctor is doing as well as can bo expected.
