SUBSCRIBERS, ATTENTION!
We have determined not to insist upon
the strict letter of our terms until after
the August Court, and therefore give those
who are still iu arrears to us for subscrip
tion, until that time to pay up at the rate
of $2.00 per year. We want everybody
to have the Jomarie.r. at $2.00, so avail
yourselves of Court to bring in or send in
your cash. Send along your money, or
you must pay $2.50, and at the end of the
year $3.00. It is only $2.00, and anybody
who takes oar paper can raise that much
money. Don't wait until you are two or
three years in arrears and then get out of
humor because your bill is so large. Pay
up ! Pay up!

McCandless are a kind of a double-headed

oft,Kentucky, the land of Democracy
and ignorance, has less improvements, pub
lic and private, than any other State in the
Central belt. and as long as it votes Demo
cratic it will be so.
.Some of the leading Democrats find
it convenient to ride two horses just now.
They are "departure" and "anti-departure"
to suit circumstances. They are anything
by times, and nothing long.
Ng. Gen. McCandless voted against
every Republican soldier who has.tun for
office since the close of hostilities. Repub
lican soldiers, will you vote for him, or
will you administer his own medicine ?
as, When Gen. McCandless was in this
place he sent for several soldiers to call
upin him. Does any one suppose he
would have sent for them if he bad not
been a candidate ? The soldiers understand
this.
iiiirThe friends of Gen. McCandless are
trying to get negro votes for him in the
face or the fact that he refused to accept a
commission of Brigadier General until the
Government would quit its Emancipation
Policy. Very consistent!
SPL.Juarea has not been as fortunate in

sag.We have lately read, with regret,
several interviews of Reporters with Col.
McClure, which were apparently sought
and printed to mortify Republicans. Col.
McClure has, for many years, seen fit to
connect himself with a Ring, which during
the war, was uppermost, but which at
present is flat upon its back, and now he
wails most bitterly. The Colonel should
have been sharp enough not to have been
caught in this fix, and having been caught
he ought to have fortitude enough to stand
it.
lim.The Republicans expended $476,-
893 65 in the year 1865, in running the
government of New York. The Demo
crats in 1870 increased the expenditure to
the enormous sum of 6823,473 53, mak
ing a difference of $346,579 88. These
arc the fellows who talk about Republican
extravagance!

ge_The South is determined to resist
the "New Departure," and that is the end
of it. The Democratic Party has never
been able to successfully accomplish any
thing without the support of the South.—
Jeff. Davis, Stephens & Co. are just as
much its masters now, as in the days of
"Old Buck."
ge,,.A year ago a delegate was elected
from Montana by a Democratic majority of
1,860; and on Tuesday last,W. H. Claggett,
the Republican candidate was elected by
1,000 majority. Price's army, which has
taken up its quarters there since the Re
bellion, was routed horse, foot and dra
goon ! Hoop!! hoop!! hurrah!! !!
,A Democratic paper says that May
or Hall pretty strongly intimates that Tom
Murphy, the Collector of Customs, in New
York, had a hand in getting up the late
riot iu that city. Whether Tom had a
"hand in it" or not, we a,; not know, but we
do know that Mayor Hall "put his foot in
it."
ger The Lancaster Intelligencer says
that the Democratic Party is the friend of
the laboring man. How, pray ? The
only place that they have an opportunity
of showing their hand, is in New York
city, and, if we remember correctly, it is
only the Ring—Sweeny, Tweed and Con
nelly—that grows fat there.
SW" G en. McCandless is reported to have
said "that the post of honor is the private
station." Then—private let him remain
The man who refused to draw his sword in
defence of his fiag,bocause the means used
to bring it out triumphant, did not meet
his approbation, does not deserve to be re
warded by his fellow men. He is a very
unsafe man.
96r Last week we spoke of a system of
tariffing shippers on the railroad. We de
sire it to be distinctly understood that we
made no allusion to any local freight or
other agent. We alluded particularly to
the individual lines owned by the officers
and principal stockholders of the road. We
would be very sorry to cause any reflection
upon the local agents.
Gam. A Temperance Convention was
held in Harrisburg, on last Wednesday,
and Barr Spangler, of Lancaster county,
was placed in nomination for Auditor Gen
eral and E. H. Wheeler, of Mercer county,
for Surveyor General. A number of dele
gates withdrew when nominations were
insisted upon. What will this accomplish?
Echo answers, What ! It is the repeated
folly of twenty years ago.
DS—Gen. Grant had a little Pleasant-on
affair the other day, which resulted iu the
appointment of J. W. Douglass, as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. General
Pleasanton refused to resign, and he

lerThe Philadelphia Sunday Republic
announces that it is ready to prove that one
hundred thousand dollars are to be raised
by the Democracy as a corruption fund in
the present canvass. Sixty thousand dol
lars have already been subscribed, And
twenty-five thousand have been assessed
upon the policemen. The object is to
make the Legislature Democratic, and to
elect Mr. Wallace as the successor of Mr.
Cameron in the United States Senate.
sigi c ..John Hook, it was, who went bawl.
ing "beef ! beef !!" in the days of the
Continental Congress; and in these late
days the subject of beef appears to be no
less important. Gen. (?) McCandless, the
Democratic candidate for Auditor General,
in imitation-of-John Hook, went about the
Senate Chamber of Pennsylvania, a few
sessions ago, shouting "beef! beef! I" until
he was hoarse. He wanted a Cattle Bill
for Philadelphia. John Hook wakened

te'The editor of the Monitor, sensible
of the neglect and injustice did him, by
his partizans, in his c last issue complains
bitterly, thus :
"If all the Democrats of Ifuntingdon county - , who aro
now patronising Republican papers as subscribers and ad
rcrtiserP, wculd give but equal support to their own party
organ, the Monitor would speedily take rank with the
largest and best paper of the State."
We assure you, Bro. Cornman, that this
paper is not in your way. We have no
Democratic support save what legitimately
conies to us. We are not the recipient of
any patronage outside of the Republican
Party that we are aware of, and as our Re
publican sign is always out, Democrats
know they can make nothing out of us,
Dem,.The Hon. Wm. A. Wallace looked
in upon us the other day, to ascertain how
much it would take to carry this Legisla
tive district. Hon. R. Milton, we are
told, made the thing as doubtful as possi
ble, but said if his Honorable friend could
"sock up" enough of the "spud" it would
be a dead sure thing, He intiwateNl.that
the fellows he had to make his points with
were hungry, and it would take a big sup
ply to satisfy them. Hon. Wm. A. prom
ised the "coffee," awl went on his way re
joicing. When you sec a Republican
playing into the hands of Mr. Speer, ask
him how • much of Wallace's "coffee" has
been Need out to him.
"Pnevoxiire—To know that partisans whom onelasas
elated, by every means in his power, to elect to office,
make it their bnQineisi to send patronage to a Republican
paper. Ditto, to know that men who have profited by
party offices, advertise their business in both Republican
papers and not to their own party organ. Aro such non
Denioetats from principle or for pelf?"
We copy the above from the Monitor of
last week. We assure both our Republi
can and Democratic readers that the Jovg
'NAL is not the paper whom Democrats
make it their "business to send patronage
to." Not by a long run ! Th 9 huRNAL;
is of no advantage to the D.mocratic
Party, but on the other hand a severe
thorn in its side. Our large circulation
and liberal rates may induce some to ad- I
vertise with us, but patronage is quits j
another thing.
iog„Gen. McCandless, in a speech made
upon the adoption of the XVth Amend
ment, in the State Senate, you
succeed in doing this, you not only over
throw our form of government, but tear up
its very foundations." How about the
9th Departure'? Are the foundations safe
yet ?

tar The Chicago Post is an "amusing
kind" of paper. Hear it : "The Demo
cracy are very uauch in the position of the
cannibal, Ami Robinson, of whom Barnum
made mention in his book on humbugs.
After a long debauch, he walked up one
day, in great wonderment as to his exact
locality, and inquired of the bystanders,
'Ami am I, or am I not Ami ?" That is
the question. Are they themselves, or
some other party ? In Ohio, lowa and
Pennsylvania, where the new departure
has been recognized by conventions, full a
third of the voters are rubbing their eyes
in utter bewilderment. Is it the old Dem
ocratic camp, or have they gone astray ?
After twelve continous years of denuncia
tion, it is quite the thing to own up point
blank, and indorse the opposite side? The
chinese puzzle is nothing campared with
such a dilemma. If they hold on they will
freeze, and if they let go they are sure to
fall into the ditch. Most of them agree
to eat the new party owl, but it is perfectly
apparent they do not hanker after it.
1 The Huntingdon Globe and the
Hollidaysburg Register are working to_
gether to create some political capital fel
the Democratic party, out of the appoint
ment of Capt. Joseph Johnston, of Hun
tingdon county, to the position held by
Charles B. McDermott, in the Treasury
Department, Philadelphia. Mr. McDer
mott went to Huntingdon on Monday, and
had a conference with the editor of the
Globe, and the Globe this week charges that
Senator Scott had Mr. 'McDermott remo
ved because he did not favor the same
gentleman for the Senatorial nomination
in this county last fall, that, it says, Mr.
Scott favored. The Register, in a notice
of the change, declares "Charley didn't
" suit Joh? Scott, so he had to give way
" to one of the Senator's particular friends."
We do not believe Senator Scott took any
part whatever for or against either of the
candidates for nomination in - this county
last fall. We do know that about as many
of Mr. Scott's "particular friends" sup
ported Mr. Lemon as Mr. Caldwell We
do not know why Mr, McDermott was re
moved, nor do we believe Mr. Scott had
anything to do in urging his removal.—
Capt. Eyster, as we.understanci-the matt.,
for reasons which he deemed sufficient, in
timated some tine ago to Mr. McDermott
that his resignation would be acceptable.
Mr. McDermott refused to resign, and his
place was filled by Capt. Johnston, a good
Republican and a faithful soldier. The
Globe's assertion that Senator Scott has
attempted to interfere with our local nomi
nations, is utterly without foundation, and
no journal knows it better than the Reg
ister which meanly insinuates what the
Globe openly asserts. '.pile reasons fur the
course of the Globe toward - one of our
United States Senators, and for that of the
Register toward both, are well luicwn ; and
the professed sympathy, of the latter jour
nal for one whom it a few months ago de
nounced as a "wife-whipper" and unworthy
the association of respectable men, is as
insincere as its insinuations against Mr.
Scott are malicious and false.—Blair Coun

European Correspondence
BRUSSELS, BeigiUill, July 23, 1871
DEAR JOURNAL ;—Since I last wrote you from
London we spent two days in that city, wan
an opportunity was offered to accompany au
excursion party, of some sixty ladies and gen
tlemen, over the Continent, under the care,
direction and guidance of Mr. Thomas Cook, of
London, the great home and foreign tourist,
who has the arrangement made with the vari
ous railroad and steamboat companies, as also
the hotel keepers, to issue coupon-tickets for
the round trip. Mr. Cook has been engaged in
this business for some fifteen years, and hos
offices in every city on the Continent. So we
booked ourselves for the trip. Here in this
great city, the metropolis of the world, you can
get booked in almost everything a man may
desire. If a young man marries, and wishes,
they can book htm up for the 'balance of his
life i tell him how many children he will have,
girls and boys, and the names he intends giv
ing them. We spent two days visiting some
of the places of interest, and intend spending a
week on our return from the Continent, but I
will only give you, Mr. Editor, the names of
places of interest seen, and particulars when
I return. These objects are better seen than
described. Think of this great city of London,
with its three and three quarter millions of
souls, (census lately taken,) encompassed with
in a apace of ten miles long and an average of
six broad. We called to see the banking house
of Jay Cook .t Co., drew some money on our
letter of credit, had as introduction to Mr.
McCulloch, late Secretary of the Treasury nu.
der President Lincoln. He took us through
their building and gave us a card to our Amer
ican Secretary of Legation, Mr. Morand, from
Lancaster county, your State. Here we had
91sT passports endorsed, and received a card of
Introduction to attend the House of Parliament.
We spent several hours listening to the debates
and speeches. Their building has cost them
considerable more than our National Capitol,
but it has not that commanding appearance
that ours has, and the inside finish is of old
ancient form, which does not compare with
Yankee at. le and finish. In the House of Com
mons they have no cushion seats nor desks,
but plain, old-fashioned benches, some four or
Eve rows on each side of the hall, with wide
space through the centre, The hall of the
House of Lords has more style tad dignity,—
The members of the House of Commons don't
have very good order, and show very little res
pect for politeness ; the one-half had their hats
on during the session. Their hours of meeting
are at 4 o'clock, and the House of Lords I
o'clock, P. Br.
We left London at 4 o'clock, July 19th, for
the city of Antwerp. Traveled by rail Its Dar,
wich city, on the German Sea, distance 70
miles. From there we took steamer to Ant
werp, distance 140 miles, and arrived at Ant
werp the next morning at 10 o'clock. The city
of Antwerp ip sipmed on the right bank of
the river Scheldt, and contnia9 100 1 000 inhab
itants. It is the chief port of Ilelgium, apd
commands a large amount of foreign trade.—
There are few places in Europe so rich in mag
nificent churches. The Homan Catholic reli
gion is the almost entire religion, There are
three large and splendid churches here, nearly
all of the semi size and finish. The largest is
Old Wotre Dame, length 900 . feet, width 250
feet, steeple 406 feet. St. James iS next in
size, but the paintings and sculpture are finer..
St. Andrew's is also finely finished. It has
two towers 210 feet each. In this church we
saw in the side of the wall, under the floor, cut
out of the rock, the representation of sinners
passing through purgatory, their countenances
depicting a ghastly appearance. Mr. Editor,
you had Dotter steer clear of that place. Here
we also saw the representation of the Saviour's
tomb, cut out of a solid rock, with the wQmen
visiting it.
We left the city of Antwerp July 21st. The
country from Antwerp far exceeds England
and Scotland in cultivation and improvements.
The hedges alons the railroads are neatly
trimmed and even. The principal products
are wheat, rye, oats and potatoes, with some
flax, beans and turnips. The country is beau
tifully dotted with trees all along the public
roads. Crops are in small patches, not ex
ceeding an acre. At every railroad crossing
is a gate, with a man to guard it. They use
every precaution to prevent accidents.
_ _
We arrived at Brtissels at 10 o'clock, anl
put up at the Hotel de Universe. Our party
consists of sixty, and fills up a hotel pretty
well. We laid over a day at Antwerp, and
will be here three days—resting over Sabbath.
These hotels get up splendid dinners; dine at
5 P. a.. and consume an hour and a half in
eating; plates changed ten times. Brussels,
the capital of Belgium, is situated on the river
Senne, about 50 miles from the sea. It contains
about 200,000 inhabitants, and is the most
beautiful city we have visited. The manufac
tures of Belgium employ an immense quantity
of foreign wool. Woolen cloths, carpets, linen
and cotton cloths, as well as silks and the fi
nest laces are manufactured here. There is
also an establishment here for the manufacture
of wooden shoes, which are worn by the poor
of both sexes. In the centre of Belgium was
fought the great battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Our party of sixty took carriages after we ar
rived in Brussels and visited the battle-field,
some twelve miles distant from here. Our
guide took us all orer the field and showed us
the positions and movements of both armies.
The mound in the centre of the battle-field
covers two acres of ground, perfectly round,
and is 225 feet high, running to a peak, on the
top of which is a square marble monument
surmounted by a large bronze lion. From the
top of the mound a beautiful view of the coun
try can be had for a distance of ten miles. The
day we arrived was the anniversary of the or
ganization of the government. The King had
Te Deum at the large cathedral. We had the
pleasure of seeing King Leopold II and his'at
tendants, the lord Mayor, high Judges, and
Lords, all in their magnificent and rich gor
geous robes, with the military in their finest
dress uniforms. We visited the National Gal
lery, where we saw the finest pictures by Reu
bens and other famous artists. The King's
Park and the Boulevards were fine, but the
Botannical Gardens exceeded all for beauty
and taste, with flowers and plants of every hue
and color, fotintains flowing, and various kinds
of fish. The Belgians are very fond of amuse
ments, and here in one of the squares you will
find several theatres and other side-shows with
bands of music playing in front of them.
On-Sabbath some of our party attended the
grand Cathedral in the morning to see high
mass. There are only two Protestant churches,
and they are Episcopal, in this city, that preach
in English. We attended one of them at
o'clock, a. a., and heard the Rev. Dr. Moffett
preach a fine sermon from Romans 6 chap. and
23 verse. So far our journey has been a de
lightful one. Our number consists of seven
Americans, forty English, seven Scotch, two
Irish, and four Canadians. We leave this
morning for Switzerland,where you shall hear
from me again. Yours, truly,
Republican Party Record
A brief recapitulation of the various
measures enacted by the Republican party,
during its ten years of power, in behalf of
the cause of liberty and equal political and
civil rights to all men, without regard to
race or color, will le a matter of useful in
formation to our readers at this time, and
aid them in coming to a just and correct
decision as to the party they can the most
safely trust hereafter.

ple of the South against organized bands
of assassins, and rendering the people of
a country or city, under certain conditions,
responsible far the damages done therein
by these outlaws.
Such, briefly, are the leading measures
adopted by a Republican ConuTess, and
sanctioned and sustained by the Republi
can party, for securino• ' to the colored peo- 1
pie of the nation the boon of liberty and
the right cf equal American citizenship.
As a "companion-piece" to this long list
of acts in the interest of justice and hu
manity, we ought, perhaps, to publish the
record of the Democratsc party in behalf
of slavery, wrong and outrage.
But it can hardly be necessary, at least
until the wounds inflicted upon the backs
of the four millions of ex-slaves have had
time to heal. If colored men bear no ma
lice against their Democratic owners, they
will not be apt to forget who fastened and
who broke their chains.

HARRISBURG; August 9.—The State
Temperance Convention, called to nomin
ate prohibition candidates for Auditor
General and Surveyor General, met in the
Senate chamber at 1 o'clock this morning.
Twenty-eight persons were present at that
time. Captain Rauch, of Lancaster, called
the convention to order.
Captain Rauch, in his speech, said it
was well known that the temperance peo
ple c f the State differed in opinion as to
the best mode of carrying on the cause.
He contended that the determination of
the convention on the 18th of May last
was for a separate and distinct prohibition
party. We are here as citizens free from
any other political movement than to free
our statute-books from the infamous license
law. He proposed, after reading the call,
that all persons favorable to the call and
its purpose should come forward and sign
the roll. .
Mr. Black, amid some confusion, was
eleetyd permanent president, and on taking
the chair delivered an address reciting the
history of the temperance cause. Colonel
G. F. McFarland and Mr. Lichtenberg
were elected secretaries, and a committee
of seven were appointed to frame a plat
form and name candidates. The resolu
tions reported were mostly of a strong tem
perance nature,. and were all adopted. A
female suffrage resolution was, however,
defeated.
The nominations for candidates were
next proceeded with, several prominent
gentlemen being . named, among whom
were the Republican candidates, R. B.
Beath and Colonel Stanton. and the Deni
ocratic candidates, McCandlcss and Coop
er, to all of whom letters were addressed
of interregation as to their temperance
principles.
In the afternoon session the replies of
Colonel Stanton and R. B. Beath were re
ceived and read. I39th of the letters fa
vored the temperance cause, but declined
the nominations. The Democratic candi
dates failed to respond to the interrogation.
After considerable other unimportant
business had been transacted, Ben. Spang
ler, of Lancaster, was nominated for Audi
tor General, and Hon. E. A. Wheeler, of
Mercer county, for Surveyor General.
The following is a card published in op
position to the Convention
To the Members of the May Convention and the
Friends of Temperance in Pennsylvania
The undersigned, members of the Cen
tral Committee appointed by the authority
of the convention held in Philadelphia May
18th and 19th last, being present at Har
risburg, deem it their duty to that body
and the cause generally to enter their sal.
emn protest against the action of certain
of their fellow.tutimberS, who, in violation
of the action of the convention in May,
have called and are this day holding a
convention to nominate independent can
didates for Auditor General and Surveyor
General, theieby ignoring the plan of ac
tion adopted in May last; and having been
informed by the men engaged in this
movement that it is purely an individual
enterprise, and that nsi oqp could be allow
ed to take part in the proceedings unless
willing to pledge himself to carry out the
objects named iu the call, and having fail
ed to obtain any change of purpose on the
part of those engaged in the revolutionary
movement ; we do hereby depiare that the
said convention and the nominations made
by it are in violation of the action of the
May convention, and without authority
from the State Central Committee.

The Tariff.
Perhaps some of our readers may like
to compare the resolutions adopted by Re
puplican and Democratic Conventions.
The Republican State Convention of Penn
sylvania, adopted May 17, 1871, resolution
"Third. They declare their unalienable attach
ment to the principles of protection to home indus
try, in the levying of tariff duties in accordance
with the wise policy which has existed since the
foundation of the Government."
The Republican State Convention of
Ohio, June 21, 1871, adopted resolution
"Third. As it will be necessary and desirable to
obtain from duties on imports a large portion of
the revenues needed to defray the expenses of the
Government, to pay the interest on the national
debt, an principal as it matures, such duties
should be adjusted as not to prejudice but to pro
mote the interest of every section and branch of
industry as fast as possible."
The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio, June 2, 1871, adopled resolution
"Ninth. That we are in favor of a strictly reve
nue tariff, conformed to the theory and principles
of all other just an 1 wise tax laws, and opposed to
the protective theory, so called."
The following English testimony is of
value, as showing what policy they consid
er best for this country :
"The ascendance of the Protectionists party in
the [United] States continues to operato most fa
vorably for the manufacturing interest there; it is
no wonder that, under its benignant auspices, the
enterprise in this direction is swelling to colossal
proportions. The whole subject is one deserving
the serious attention of our manufacturers."—Ry

WASHINGTON', April 5, 1830.
GENTLEMEN : I hare the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note this morning, presenting
me with an ax and hatchet from the manufactory
of Messrs. Dunlop & Madeira, in the borough of
Chambersburr, which I accept with pleasure.
These samples of the skill employed in that estab
lishment fully illustrates the capacity of our citi
zens to contend successfully with the ingenuity
and enterprise of other nations. They, in fact,
refute the ides—too prevalent in several portions of
the Union—that the policy of Protection is, is every
view of its effects, unequal to the anticipation of its
friends.
I pray you to present those gentlemen my warm
est wishes for their prosperity, and to accept for
ourselves the renewal of the obligations which I
owe you for the many instances oC your friendship
and regard. Your obedient servant, _
ANDREW Jac...

The Woman Question
Interesting Letter jrom Horace Greeley—
His Opinion of Women of the Laura
Fair Type—Plain Talk.
Horace Greeley has addressed a letter to
the Golden Age, defining his view on the
woman question, saying that while he does
not deny that persistent, flagrant adultery
by the husband or wife affords good grounds
fur divorce, transient infidelity to the mar
riage vow under the influence of passion
inflamed by wine or other unnatural ex
citement, should not, if not repeated, be
an adequate reason for divorce. The doc
trine of re-marriage in those widowed by
death should be governed by circumstances
in the main. Where the couple are hap
pily united, it would be better if neither
married the second time on this planet.—
The mainspring of his hostility to woman
suffrage is due to his conviction of the
proper indissolubility of the marriage tie.
His conversion to the movement of woman
suffrage is morally impossible. On that
account he has written this letter on what
has appeared in the Tribune editorially on
this subject during the last ten years, and
concludes by saying: "I believe our coun
trymen indebted to you for having discov
ered—perhaps I should say invented—me
as the possible, though the most improba
ble, candidate for the Presidency. Allow
me, then, to thank you for your early and
frank demonstration. can in no contin
gency be counted on your side a s a woman
suffrage- candidate. As you forcibly and
justly say, there is not a possibility of my
ultimately adapting myself to this end; my
difference with your crowd is too vital and
too radical to permit the most sanguine
dreamer to hope for conversion.
"I am growing old. My. opinions are
tolerably firm and advanced. Females of
the Laura Fair type, who killed her para
mour, whom she claims to be her rightful
affinity, and give the lie• in open court 'to
the wife she had doubly wronged, are my
pet aversion. But why should any man
be a candidate for President of the woman
suffragists ? Logically and consistently I
feel that the candidate should he a woman.
She ought, moreover, be one thoroughly
emancipated from absurdity, folly, narrow
ness and baleful conversation, which I am
too old to outgrow. Could you not find
some one who illustrates in her own per
son and history what you so facetiously
term liberal thoughts in this enlightened
age ? Let her be one who has two hus
bands, and lives In the same house with
them; both sharing the same couch; one
bearing the name of the other to indicate
impartiality perhaps, and the cause and
candidate will be so fitly mated that there
will be no occasion, even under the meet
liberal a}fd enlightened regime, to sue for
divorce. Could not one of this class be
persuaded to overbear her shrinking mod
esty and nominate herself ?"

A Railroad Horror,
Amile»! on the.Mqine Central Railroad—
Two Persons Killed, Tinny Wounded.
BANGOR, August 9.—A frightful acci
dent occurred tonight on the Maine Cen
tral railroad, just as the train was Entering
this city, by the giving away of the bridge
across Ilawden road. The train consisted
of the engine, tender, mail and express
cars,
smoking car, three passenger cars and
one Pullman palace ear.
The train was about half an hour late
and was running
a good speed to make up.
The engine and tender had got across the
bridge and a portion of the mail and ex
press car, when the structure went down,
taking the trucks or the mail car, but the
strength of the shackles kept it upon-the
track. The smoking car plunged down
into the street, and was completely demol
ished. This was followed by a passenger
car, which came down upon its side and
was also completely torn to pieces. .
The second passenger car shot across the
street at right angles and was also demol
ished. The third and last passenger car
plunged down the abyss, striking on the
forward end, crushing it in, while the rear
end was suspended at an angle of forty-five
degrees by the broken timbers and abut
ments. The Pullman car, the last in the
train, remained on the track, but the front
end was somewhat damaged by contact
with the preceding cars. None of the
passengers in it were injured.
William Percival, of Waterville, was
brakeman on the third pas r iger car, and
stood at his post on the )nt platform
when the car plunged dos', through the
bridge, and was instantly killed.
There was a very small number of pas
sengers, otherwise the loss of life must
have been fearful. As it was, thirty per
sons were more or less injured, but only as
yet fatally, Thos. Gallagher,-boiler maker,
East Boston, was fearfully crushed, and
has since died.
A citizen of Wisconsin has invent 63 an
automatic machine that will cut, bind and
deliuer grain in a bundle. The machine
was tried last season on six different farms,
in order to test its adaptability to rough,
smooth, sidehill and level ground, and also
to different lengths of grain, whether gras
sy, tangled or well cultivated. The resu.t
established the fact that the work could be
perfectly performed, and the per cent. of
failures averaged five in the hundred, the
machine having cut and bound one hun
dred thousand bundles. This year, the
same machine, with improvements, has
again been on trial, and the result has been
highly satisfactory. It was put in opera
tion in a field of oats of about thirty-five
acres. The grain varied in height from
six feet in the most fertile to ten inches in
the poorest parts, and was cut and bound
in bundles from the size of a man's body
to the size of his arm, and in some caws
mere wisps, owing to the shortness of the
straw. The buts were laid as smoothly as
cut across with a knife, and the per cent.
of failures was insignificant. Subsequent
ly the machine was placed in a field of
wheat, which it cut and bound at the rate
of fourteen acres a day. The wire bands
used in tying up the bundles are said to
answer the purpose well, and cost only
thirty cents an acre.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, &c., That so
much of the act approved April twenty
ninth, Anno Domini one thousand eight
hundred and forty-four, as imposing a tax
of two per centum on every dollar of sala
ry and emoluments over two hundred dol
lars, of persons holding public office or
offices, held under corporations; also so
much of the act as imposes a tax of one
per cent= on incomes of tradesmen, oc
cupations and professions, over two hund
red dollars is hereby repealed.
