Bund^tton?^ 1870. ; Advantages oT tile ?Free Vote"-Jtlnori-i <y Etiirtatiitollun Bccnrcd. Ia our issuet'of yesterday, we gav?tho do tili Is of tho gleite Bloomsburg (Penn.) election, where..^r?fprmed voting'' was, for the fl^t,l^b, :praotienlly teated. As' already shown, tho result was equitable and t^? syBtemi'^worked smoothly. , We consider thiq inatter of "reformed vot? ing" ono of tho c&Psfc: importent ques? tions of tho day. Its tendency is to dignify, to strengthen and to perpetuate popular government. It makes stability, justice' and permanence possible with universal BU (Trage.. We earnestly invite publio attention to tho subject. Bx Senator Buckalow deserves special credit. Ho it was who, in a ''Democratic" com? munity, put in motion a sob eine which involved a> voluntary abdication of ex? clusivo party power. Se was willing to divide representation with bis political antagonia^V and to givo the minority a fair, showing.. Wo trust that time will BIIOW that'Mr. Bbctalow's name is now associated with a great, j nat and useful pritfc?pl?f'?; We hopethat "Bldomsburg" is now historio. Tho Bloomsburg Dem? ocrat thuB ^peaks ?b'rer?r?bce to tho sys? tem of voting carried oat on tho occasion of 'the rec on t j m b b. i cip al el oe ti on in that toWnlr ?..'.*?j'-J.'1, ,-'.* ,;-(- . ,. ', ". . liefor'mpd voting has the"following sala tory; effects, iii ns tra tod more or less folly at oar latelpqul.election: 1. Tho expulsion of disfranchisement from popular elebliouo. Meiv dp not vote and logo their votes. They are not counted ont-ostracised-deprived Of All voice iu tho 'government. This injustice they hrwd often'suffered ia both general and, local elections, bot will saner no longer when, reformed voting shall be established.^How mach of contentment and of increased attachment to republi? can institutions, most this one beneficent change produce! 2. The best men cnn be selected as candidates and elected. Availability--a mere capacity to get votes and often the worst votes in the community, the whiskey , boys pf saloons, the bigots of churches, the purchasable and the timid citizens-loses nearly all its importance in the selection of candidates. For the floating vote-tho vote subject to influ? ence-will no longer hold the balance of power between parties and control elec? tions. The independent, upright citizen, unskilled in the corrupt devices of ma? jority voting, can. afford to be a candi? date and can succeed, in spite of the rogues and ruffians in bis district. And ia office he can defy them, for they will not hold his re-election and his future in their hands. 3. Au unembarrassed and better seleo? tion can be made by the voter from among < candidates. His freedom of ohoice will be a reality, and not a delu? sion. Even the degree of his preference for a candidate can be expressed by the free vote. He can give all his votes to one candidate; he may distribute them among candidates ns he shall think fit. For the first time, the principle of self government is to be realized in electoral action. The voter is to judge for him? self, and not thu law for htm, how his votes ?hall be bestowed. Under the free vote, but few candi? dates..at .popular elections will be de? feated aap they and their friends morti? fied and soured for the future. Buta single candidate for member of our town council underwent defeat at the lato election, and tho running of a sur? plus candidate arose out of particular circumstances, and was an exceptional case. Ordinarily there will be but six candidates ipste?d of seven. But under the old plan pf election, there would have been at least twelve candidates, and six of them would have been defeated. Six beaten men in the community would baye meant discontent, resentment and retaliation hereafter. At all events, a redaction of nearly one-half in the num? ber of candidates at elections would be highly advantageous and desirable. 5. Finally, the free vote strikes off two-thirds of tho expense and cons?? quent corruption of elections. It takes away most of the motive to oorrupt voters, for under it the necessity of buying majorities will no longer exist ana press upon parties and candidates. ' We will conclude with a single addi? tional remark. The free vote, in order to its complete operation-to its thorough renovation of our electoral system mast be applied to the nomination of candidates, as well as to their election ; to the primary ns well as to the legal elections. That it can be so. applied with convenience, ima effectually, we believe, will be proved at no distant day in this County of Columbia, which now enjoys the honorable distinction of hav? ing had held in her principal town thc first truly republican, and entirely just, liberal and reformed eleotion, ever held in the United States-an election in which hp man felt that he was stealiug power from his neighbor, ot that hi? neighbor was stealing power from him. BAI/TIMORE VIA. THE YOBK RIVER ROUTE.-On and after Thursday next, passengers by tho York River route for Baltimore and points North will leave Richmond from the York River Railroad depot at 3.15 P.

"STUFFED WITH SAW-DUST."-There is hardly one boy ia a hundred who re? ceives a practical education. Young men annually como out of our universi? ties and schools with their minds filled with a variety of useless information which is of no available benefit to them. Instead of being fitted by their studies for the business of life, they aro crammed with a lot of superficial, showy informa? tion, which serves moro as an advertise? ment of the so-called "superior advan? tages" of the oollege than it does us a means of making honest bread. This advertisement lately appeared in a Lon? don paper: "Wanted, by a father, a school, where bis son may receive an education to fit him for a manly and use? ful life, without any bambug as to na? tions dead and buried thousands of years ago." Here we have the whole thing iu a nut-shell from aa irascibly practical father, who in anxious that his ROU ohonhl learn something which -will be of service to him. A classical education is, of course, a greut privilege, and an admi? rable training for the mind. But how few boys get a thorough one! Ninety nine out of a hundred of tho ''classical educations" young men are supposed to receive are so meager and superficial os to bo of no benefit whatever. But little time in this country is given to study at best; it is, therefore, the more neoessary that whatever is studied should be al ways something useful, and which eau be im? mediately turned to an account. Boys are "finished" who read Latin and Greek fluently, and are well up in mathematics, who cannot keep a decent sot of books or speak any living language well, and yet are put in offices to learn business. [Louisville Courier-Journal. AN ASTOUNDINO DISCOVERT TN CHEMIS? TRY.-Mr. Th?ophile Ladislas Zo h we s kofski, one of the cleverest pupils of Baron Liebig, bas just made an astound? ing discovery in chemistry, viz: The siheious and aluminous ethers. It is but necessary to pour into a ohampagne glass a certain quantity of these two ethers to produce almost instantaneously tho most magnificent stones; combined with very pure oxide of iron, the aluminous ether produces ruby; with sulphate of copper, the sapphire; with salts of magnesia, the amethyst; with salts of nickel, the eme? rald; with salts of crome, the silicio us ether produces the different colorations of the topaz. These ethers evaporate with a penetrative perfume which severul persons have declared to be very agreea? ble. The Balts ohrystalize very regularly as soon as the liquid part has gone. The corindons obtained through this means are not quite as hard as the natural ones, but if the operation is carefully done, the brilliancy is admirable. Tho silicia and alluminn, which constitute the earths and clays are principles easily found in the different parts of the globe; und the preparation of the new ethers, though delicate, costs very little. This disco? very will bring forth a revolution not only in the jewelry, bat in most of our industrial arts. MR. LINCOLN'3 RELIGIOUS VIEWS.-Mr. W. H. Hernddn, of Springfield, III., formerly the law p?rtner of tho late President Lincoln, has greatly scandal? ized the admirers of the latter by writing and publishing in the Toledo "Free Re? ligionist a letter in which he declares that from early manhood to the time of his death, Mr. Linoolu waa a daring and out? spoken unbeliever. He says that in 1834 ho read with great avidity "Volney's 'ruins' and Tom Paine's works, and that they became a part of Mr. Lincoln from 1834 to the end of his life." He also says that in 1835 "he wrote out a small work on infidelity," which he intended to publish, but which a friend conside? rately burnt. Mr. Herndon says that "this book was an attack upon the whole grounds of Christianity, and especially wus it au attack upon the idea that Jesus was tho Christ, the true and ouly begot? ten son of God, as the Christian world contended." He declares tbnt when Mr. Lincoln left Springfield for Washington his religious opinions were unchanged. RAILROAD MEETING AT BARNWELL COURTHOUSE.-O a Thursday last, upon the meeting of the Directors of the Barnwell Railroad, at Barnwell, a large and enthusiastic meeting of tho citizens of the County was held to urge forward the early completion of the work. The meeting was ably nddresssed by George D. Chapman, Esq , of Augusta, tho Pre? sident; General Hagood, Judge A. P. Aldrich and others, aud judging from the interest manifested by those present, every possible aid will be rendered by the planters towards tho success of tho euterprise. The Direotors authorized tho Executive Committee to immediately put the road under contract, Messrs. George D. Chapman & Co., of Now York, offering to build the road, und re? ceive the securities of the company in payment on its completion; they also agree to have the same completed iu time for the fall business. Gou. Johnson Hagood was elected local Treasurer, and Hon. A. P. Aldrich Solicitor. "California," writes a recent corres? pondent, "is not the place for a poor man ; better be in Illinois with $500 than in California with 82,000. The State is overrun with tradeless, moneyless young men, who never have enough money to pay their way out of the State." PBPpja?OTr.-~It.; seems that Patrick Henry bad little faith in the perpetuity f a "Republican ?o*m of government. V Here ?B.:anpDxtra?fc ' froto .ono of hie; ?peeoheno provo it: .. ? "In time, nfc has happened in all other j countries, thjg government will pas? into;' the hinds of ? ootno unscrupulous faction, bout' on aggrandizing itself and ita mom- ! bera at the expense of the country. * They will rule your country with the s wo rd. * * Swarms of tax-gatherers will infest the whole land. * * The fate of ali other republics must be ours." Dubuque furnishes ns n tale with a moral; it is a man who left his wife nnd six small children for tho purpose of spending a year South on business. He was a deceiver, and intended to go to Indiana and get a divorce and marry a younger and prettier woman than his wife. He went, but retribution over? took him in the State of divorce, with chills and fover and shook him into a repentant frame of mind. Ho went back again to his home, was forgiven, and everything was lovely once moro. A meteor has visited Bloomington, Illinois. It was in tho shape of a large ball of fire, and was observed moving slowly along just above the surface of the earth, in a horizontal direction. It moved so slowly that no trouble was ex? perienced in obtaining a full view of it, and it appeared to be about the size of a half bushel measure. When this bali of tiru struck a small out-building it ex-1 ploded with a- loud noise, tearing the building to atoms. IN THJB ABENA.-The Missouri Republi? can Bums up tho Ethiopian question thus: "Tba negro is fairly in the arena, and pitted against the white man; if he holds his own in the inevitable struggle with this formidable competitor, well for him, and well for the country; if he does not, he must surely go to the wall, and in the end be wiped out of existence." An Ohio woman who killed her hus? band two years ago and was son ton oed to prison for life, Bays she is satisfied ehe did wrong, and wants to ooma out. Be? sides that, she says it can't do her late husband any good to keep her in there, and lastly, she bas got another chance to marry. ?AMULiyo.-The Philadelphia Prest, of Monday, says: "For the first time within living memory, there is not a j gambling-house publicly open in Phila? delphia. The blaze of light through half-drawn blinds and half-opened doors, no longer nt mid-night lures our youth from home or tempts the stranger." THE ASHLEY MURDER.-On Thursday, j in compliance with the d?cision of the Supreme Court, Anthony Nixon, of the Ashley murder notoriety, was taken be? fore Judge Carpenter, and by him sen? tenced to be hung on the second Friday in May, being the 13th of the month. j Two CHUBCHES AND A SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.-The Baptist Church, known as Little Zion, together with a large new i building just being erected, and a school house, situated eight miles from tbis place, on the Gallivants Ferry Bond, j were all consumed by fire a few nights j sinoe.-Horry News. Westerly, R. I., has "two Sundays [ come together." Nearly half the popu? lation are Seven Day Baptists, and on Saturdays half of tho mills, shops, and other places of business are closed, and half of the'churches are filled with wor I shippers, who on Sunday resume their I secular occupations, while their neigh? bors take religion and rest. BAD TREATMENT.-Rev. Mr. Smyth, of New York, is to be tried for the alleged offence of having invited some half dozen reporters from his church toa restaurant near by, where he treated to drinks and oysters.

Mr. Solomon, desirous of extensively introducing tho "Old Carolina Bitters" it being a most excellent tonic ns well as n pleasant beverage-keeps au urn con? stantly filled on his counter, for the con? venience of all persons desirous of'.test? ing their virtues before purchasing. This preparation has been extensively used by some of the principal families in the Stute, who guarantee its purity and cili cacy. A California lady is out in defence of polygamy, and after stating that in no-rly all countries "the female sex outnum? bers the males," puts these questions: "What is the surplus number of females, for whom there is no chance to marry, to do? Has not every woman tho same rights with her sisters?" Mr. Callum has the floor. It is a remarkable fact that so obscure was General Grant before the war, that even his own father is unable to assign to him any fixed political opinions or party sympathy. It seems that he only voted twice; once for a . Whig for Con? gress, and once for Buchanan as Presi? dent. DROWNED.-A young lad named Ed? ward Su meran, aged twelve years, son of Mr. Joseph Su mera a, who resides four miles from the city, on the MUledgeville road, was drowned yesterday morning, while bathing in Kenrick's mill pond.

A convict died a few days ago in the Indiana penitentiary, who, a few years ago, was a member of the Ohio Senate. The epitaph "He married a frivolous woman," will ornament his tombstone. Well, he got drunk some, too; but who wouldn't in such a case? In order that the merits of tbe "Old Carolina Bitters" shall be fully tested, and every person be benefitted by them, Mr. Solomon will give it gratuitously to such persona in ill health as are una? ble,; from indigent circumstances, to purohabe them.
