THE 6BEEHESBORO EAIR.
What Our correspondent Observed
There.
They determined, end laid their plena according
ly, to indorse end commend all the usurpations of
the Kadicais and then appeal to the country to hurl
hem from power on the ground of anticipated
usurpatl<'”‘> in the future. .
These unscrupulous politicians succeeded In “set
ting up” the convention which assembled in Har
risburg in May. 1871, and which nominated «.c-
Cat-dless and Cooper, and passed what has since
been known as the “Ninth lleBolution.”
In the succeeding fall election the Democracy of
Penu8)lvauia repudiated botn the resolution and
the whole action ot the onventlon. Many relused
to vote at all and those who voted did so under pro
test, feeling at the time that they were outwardly
commending that which in their hearts they believed
to be wrong; which they never conld approve or
indorse; and which they earnestly hoped to see
righted as soon as we should obtain control of the
Federal Government.
From the time the Democratic party took its
“now departure,” threw principle to the dogs and
went lor “success” down to the present, it has
steadily !ost strength.
It severed the only bond which for ten years had
bound the Democracy together, made them luke
warm and indifferent, as to the result of elections,
and drove away many Republicans who had joined
us, solely ou account oi our steady adherence to
principle, our devotion to tne Constitution of our
country, snd tho alarm they felt at the gross usur
pations of their own party which had tampered with
a- d attempeted by means of force, fraud and per
fidy to alter the fundamental law bf the land.
Bow, whilst we look upoi. the deieat ol Mr. Bucfca-
iewaRonetoi the greatest calamities whichever befell
our State, an l one which we have no d ubt will bo
admitted by all honest men, without distinction of
party, before the expiration of Gen. Hatrsnlt’s term
still wo cannot but feel that it mast in tho end,
insure to the advantage of both the Democratic
party and the whole country.
When the Harrisourg Convention of 1871 and the
Baltimore Convention of this year, deserted the dis
tinctive principles of Democratic faith, tho true ana
earnest mn of the party come to look upon elec
tions as a mere scramble of politicians for.office,
and ceased to have any confi..enca in or respect far
tuose leaders who bad so basely betrayed them.
To regain what has been lost througo faithless
leaders, we know is difficult, but not impossible,
and the party should immediately set itself to work
’O regain the ground so foolishly and needlessly
lost. This may be done, and shonld be, by the
substitution of true, unselfish men as leaders, in
whom the party could place implicit confidence, and
a return to the principles of JefferBonian Democ
racy. Upon the prese.vation, perpetuation and
success of these principles rests all the hopes of tue
friends of republican institutions in this country.
Upon these principles rest the whole fabric of our
government, and the is-ues which they give birth
are live, vital issues, which caff never die; they are
tho Issues which must always exist between tho
friends of civil liberty aud self-government on the
one side, and the advocates of centralization and
despotism on the other.
Let us then return to the faith of the true Jeffer
sonian Democracy; and with our feet once more
planted upon solid ground, let us battle od for tho
right, for as God is just we must be victorious in
the end.
Social Cibcle, Nov. 11.
Dear Sun: The exposition of the
Greenesboro Fair Association came off
last week, beginning on Wednesday.—
We were present most of the time.
TTTB! GROUNDS
are located on the edge of the north
western part of the city. From appear
ances a great deal of labor has been ex
pended upon them. The bnildings are
well arranged. The main exhibition
hall is large and commodious. The dif
ferent flags and mottoes were *11 in good
taste.
Wednesday was mostly occupied in
making entries. Notwithstanding the
day was rather showery and unfavorable,
a very large number of entries were made
and a respectable number present. As the
day closed the rain set in and the pros
pect was gloomy. We noticed persons
moving about with long faces; but Thurs
day morning dawned' upon us with a
broken sky, and the prospect was fair
for a bright day.
About 9 o’clock the cannon boomed
the signal to move toward the Fair
{/round. There seemed to be a perfect
" ground swell,” preceded by the Greens
boro band, which made the welkin rine
with the concord of sweet sounds. A
large number assembled at the grand
stand. As the ground was rather heavy
from the night’s rain, there was no trot
ting, but the exhibition of the
FINEST MAKES AND COLTS,
the finest stallions, etc., took place.
About twelve o’clock the contest came
off between the Greensboro’ Brass Band
and Social Circle Cornet Band. The lat
ter were present oy special invitation,
and were the guests of tbo former. It
was announced from the stand that
premium of a tliirty-dollar silver cornet
would be awarded to the band which
played the best; also, that the Circle
Band had ten months’ practice and the
Greensboro’ Band twelve months. There
being bnt eight of the Circle Band pres
ent, a like number was chosen from the
Greensboro’ Band. There were three
pieces performed, alternately, by each
Band.
The execution was very fine. The
marks by the Judges stood: Greensboro
band, 120J; Social Circle, 120; so the
former baud will carry off the premium.
The Greensboro baud has the reputation
of being the best amateur band in the
State, and i3 the pet of Professor Holt,
tbeir teacher, of Augusta. It is com
posed of first-class gentlemen, and the
members of the Circle band so esteem
them.
In the afternoon there was some

The above extract we regard as a very
correct account of the whole affair. We
recommend it to the serious considera
tion of onr readers with the more earn
estness, from the fact that the Westches
ter Democrat, tnough opposed to the pol
icy of the "faithless leaders” of his
party, yet accepted the issue as presented
by the Baltimore Convention in the late
election, as between General Grant and
Mr. Greeley. That Journal, as thous
ands and hundreds oi thousands of good
Democrats elsewhere* thought it best not
to "bolt” a nomination, as it was called.
Without any’ discussion with onr
Pennsylvania cotemporary or with others
upon either the wisdom or patriotism of
the coarse pursued Dy him or them, we
mean simply at present to say that the
conclusions to which the article comes,
concur entirely with our own views
upon the whole subject.
Let all the Democrats, therefore, for
the fntnre, be united and barmoutons
in the maintainanco of the principles
of their own faith, by whieh alone the
country can be saved from "a system of
despotic central authority.” Had they
done this in the late contest they would
now be rejoicing In a glorious victory in
stead of mourning over on ignominious
defeat. A, H. S.

This handsome volume is intended to
be introductory to a series of special his
tories- of all those lauds which' have
drawn their civilization from Europe.
The pnrpcse sought to be accomplished
by the whole undertaking is to collect
into the smallest space, and furnish on
the cheapest terms, the latest historical
researches in the civilized world. The
author is a scholar of no men attain
ments, and is eminently fitted for the
office of historian. The present volume
is profoundly interesting, and foreshad
ows a splendid career for its successors.
It comprises 367 paees, commencing with
the origin of nations and closing with a
brilliant chapter on the re-union of Ger
many and Italy. -

Another political campaign is over;
another fonr years of Radical administra
tion is inevitable; Illinois has given a
majority of 55,000 to Grant; Chicago
renders to him a majority of 8,776 in a
vote of 42,000; Tho entire Republican
State ticket is elected. This, in sub
stance, is the climax of that contest
which has engaged the people of this
State for months past. Was ever .there
a defeat more astounding? Bnt where

which sold its birth-right for a mere
mess of pottage, and entered into an al
liance where principle ciingea to an un
holy ambition ? As might be expected,
Greeleyites are exceedingly scarce at
present in this locality; the fall realiza
tion of their ruined condition, without
power or principle, begins to beam upon
them.
ASHAMED TO OWN IT.
A prominent Greeley Democrat, since
the election, was met by an old friend
ina former partisan, and asked l y him
if he did not regret his recent record.—
"Yes, replied he, I am ashamed that I
voted for Greeley.” This is a just crite
rion of that fefling which actuates the
faction which bartered away its li e-long
convictions to its deadliest enemy.
NO EULOGY
is too great to be pron juncecl upon those
devotees to principle, who dared to de
nounce a coalition in their midst, which
smacked of treason and infidelity to the
sacred institutions of Democracy.
SOMETHING WORTH INVESTIGATING.
If one is leit to form an opinion, from
printea reports, of the O’Conor element
in Chicago, his is but a poor one. Only
eighteen votes out of 42,000 are credited
to Mr. O’Conor, while it is confidently
affirmed that thousands of earnest advo
cates of his cause congregated at the
polls, and were unable to find a single
O’Conor and Adams ballot. But a few
individuals made up Straight Democrat
ic tickets, after reaching the polls, and
deposited them in the ballot boxes. So
far as known, uot a single Straight Dem
ocratic public meeting has- been held in
this city since the Louisville Convention.
What does it mean ? There was mis
management somewhdre. Ditl not the
Louisville Convention have a represen
tation in Chicago? If so, let him "rise
and explain.
I BKLLUM VINO.
There are features of a local nature
belonging to this campaign which are
quite interesting. Besides the three po
litical parties, there were in the city the
temperance and tne anti-temperance fac
tions, which have been fiercely warring
against each other for many weeks past.
About two months ago the citizens of
Chicago, terrified by the constant in
crease of crime in their midst, conceived
the necessity of immediate and decided
action to check it.

of the most atrocious kind was perpe
trated, and in almost every instance the
offenses were found to be the direct re
sult of liquor. The better portion of the
community, therefore, seized upon the
only means within their power to re
strain the evil, viz: the bunday liquor law,
heretofore a dead letter, which prohibits
the sale of intoxicating drinks upon
the Sabbath day. Backed by the moral
sentiment of the city, the Mayor and
police authorities have enforced the law,
much to the indignation of the saloon-
ists, and especially of the German ele
ment of that fraternity. Hereupon arose
tbo Law and Order Society and the
“ Liberty League,” each equally active
aud determined, and each throwing ite
respective interests upon the political
balance. Tho Republican politicians
attributed the movement to Liberal
schemes for tho benefit of the Greeley
cause; but far from such. It was an
issue created irrespective of party or
prejudice. The law lovers chose a sep
arate ticket aud ran it with success, gain
ing a majority in the Common Council
aud four out of six Seuators. The party
leaders deprecated the movement, fear
ing that purty discord would result; but
while the law and order men have ac
quired their cuds, viz: au assurance of
respect for the law hereatter, the gen
eral result has been but little affected.

With all sections of the country the

The general scarcity of money has
been augmented in Chicago, by causes
of a local nature. One year ago, wnile
the ruined city was still smoking, the
capitalists of the world were sending here
vast sums of money for investment, and
the insurance companies were making
good the losses, to the amount of $50.-
000,000, all of which went into deposit,
and an uncommon pecuniary laxity en
sued. The city never held as much capi
tal at one time before. Soon, however,
rebuilding was commenced, and with it
a drain upon the banks, until the in
surance and investment money was con
sumed, and a still larger sum was needed
to complete the great reconstruction
work. New loans were made, and con
seqnendy property owners have been
crowded to meet their indebtedness.
Notwithstanding this embarrassment,
money is easingup a little,and everyone
is sanguine of better times. The exten
sive movement of grain throughout the
Northwest is au additional cause for the
present stringency; but in due time tne
money exchanging nands in this traffic
will return through the proper channels
to the source whence it emanated. The
political campaign, too, as usual, has had
a tighteuing effect, upon finances, and
with its completion some relief will be
fejt. Bankers are careful, and are re
fusing to discount much of the best of
paper; they are preparing for the sad
den opening of ti *e packing season, which
the recent severe weather has indicated
to be near at hand.
, BEFORE THE FIRE
the aggregate of banks in the city was
nineteen National and twelve State and
private institutions. Now the number
is increased to twenty-two Nat.onul aud
fifteen State and private banks. The
augmented bank capital is noticeaoie.
Previous to tbe conflagration the earn
ings of these institutions amounted, in
toto, to $16,000,000; at present they
reach the sum of $18,000,000, an in
crease of two millions of dollars in twelve
months. During this period the major
ity of these Companies fiave erected mag
nificent structures, in wliich they are now
doing business. The pecuniary pros
pectus of Chicago is particularly prom

Where shall yet the wanderer jaded
In the grave at last recline?
In the South, by palm-trees shaded ?
U nder linden a by the Rhino ?
hail I in some desert sterile
Re entombed by foreign hands?
Shall I sleep, beyond life’s peril.
By some seacoast in the Bauds ?
Well, God’s heaven will shine as brigh
There as here, aronnd my bed.
And tne stars for di ath-iamps nightly
Shall be hung above my head.

BLOTXlao OUT A NA i ION.
The Duchy of Brunswick to l*e Swal.
lowed up by Prussia.
The name of Brunswick, which for
nearly one thousand years has played
so conspicuous a part in the history of
Europe, is about to disappear from the
l st of independent States, and to be in
corporated with Prussia, which has al
ready swallowed up Nassau, Hesse, Hol-
stem and other States whose ancient
greatness and importance have departed
What is now known as ’he Duohy of
Brunswick was formerly a powerful State
Under Henry the Lion, it entered up*,
on the terrible struggle which shook the
German Empire to its foundations in the
time of Frederick tne Second, and which
gave rise to the long and bloody conflict
between tbe Guelphs and Gbzbelliues.
Its prin.-es have always borne conspicu
ous parts in the hisiory of Germany.
After the separation of Brunswick-Lune-
burg from Brunswick-Woitenbuttel—the
former of which, in 1723, became an ap
pendage of the British crown—the latter
was ruied by Dukes noted for their mili
tary talents and their singular eccentric
ities.
One of them was a favorite general of
Frederick the Great, and was many
years afterward signally defeated by Na
poleon at tbe battle of Jena, where he
lost his army, and after iiorrible suffer
ings, his life. His son was the heroic
leader of the German rising against
Napoleon in 1809, and fell gallantly, six
years afterward, at Quartre-Brns.
The next Duke, Charles, was igno-
mmiously driven from his principality
in 1830, and has since led a roving life,
being noted as a collector of c stly dia
monds. His brother, William I, the
present Duke, is a childless old man, of
misanthropic habits. He was born on
April 25, 1806, b*-mg the second son of
Duke Frederick William, of Brunswick,
and the Princess Maria, of Baden. On
the flight of his brother, in 1830, he un
dertook the government of the Duchy
provisionally, and finally ascended the
Ducal throne, on April 25, 1831.
Duke William wished to bequeath the
crown of Brunswick to the son of Ex-
Kiug George of Hanover, md afterward
to the Duke of Saxc-Goburg, whose heir
is Prince Arthur ot England, so that
Brunswick might remain in the hands of
the Guelph family. The Prussian Gov
ernment, nowever, refused to sanction
this arrangement, and another was made
by whicu the Duke consented to abdicate
in the course of a few months, when
Brunswick will be incorporated with
Prussia.
The Duchy of Brunswick, as at pres
ent constituted, is situated in the north
western part of Germany, and it formed
the twelfth State of the Germanic Con
federation as it existed previous to the
war of 1866, being required to furnish a
quoti ol 2,096 men for tlie federal army.
At present, its army, on il war footing,
consists of 4,857 infantry and cavalry, 12
guns, and 502 artillerymen. The area
of the duchy is 2,425 square miles, and
i<s population 304,401. The principal
city and capitul ot the duchy i3 situated
35 miles southeast of Hanover.
It has a population of 51,COO, aud con
tains many objects of historical interest.
