The assistant Democratic papers are busily engaged in efforts to thow that the Democrats as a party are not responsible for, and do not ap prove of the late intolerant proceed ings at Taioo City. Thus tho Phila delphia Mecord asserts, "there is no reason to believe that the Yazoo bulldozers represent any considerable portion of the Southern Democracy;" and again "The Democrats cf the North are no more ia favor of the invasion of the rights of any human being than are the RepublicaLP."

There is no accounting for tastes. We see that several Democratic papers In this State are crowing lustily over the election of Dr. Luke I Blackburn as Governor of Ken tucky. This man Blackburn, it was proven, during the rebellion, sent clothing infected with small pox and yellow fever to Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and other cities with the intent of spreading those diseases among our soldiers. lie was at the time a refugee in Canada, not having the courage to enter the Confederate service. And yet this craven, this would-be assassin.not only of soldiers, but of innocent women and children, has been elected Governor of the State, once the home of Henry Clay, and certain Democratic editors in this State join the degenerate eons of Kentucky in exultation over this disgrace to Christendom, it proves the truth of the adage that "birds of feather flock together." What has become of the contem plated extension of the Somerset branch railroad to Johnstown T An average of one hundred' thousand dollars monthly is paid for freights from Johnstown to the Pennsylvania railroad, and yet with an easily con structed line of lees than thirty miles from this place, this inviting field for competition' Is left untouched. Isn't it time the inquiry was being made whether this Hue is not being virtual ly held by the Pennsylvania road, to prevent ilt being buiXl, and thus bead off competition at Johnstown J The extension of the Connellsville road to Cumberland was protracted for years by the Pennsylvania road, and the same old dog-in-the-manger policy is now being applied to the extension of the road to Johnstown, if we are not grossly mistaken. The interest on fifty thousand dollars is not much of an item to parties anx ious to prevent the construction of this road, but it is an open secret that this is not the only available route between the Connellsville road and Johnstown. The newly-surveyed railroad route over the Allegheny mountains is in the interest of Vanderbilt and the Heading road, according to the Balti more Sun, which says : "So far aa can be learned, the ear vey ia along the crest of mountains between the Allegheny and Youghio gheny rivers, the engineers rather "taking to the hills" than following the course of the mountain streams. The new road will touch at Mount Pleasant and course its way to Som erset, the summit of the new line cast. This point, although approach ed at a grade almost imperceptible, will reach an altitude equal to the Gallitzin tunnel on the Pennsylvania route. The line a) surveyed will pass through Somerset, Uerlin, Bed ford, Mt. Dallas and Fauzetteburg, thence to Sbippensburg, at which point it will connect with the Harris burg and Potomac Railroad, which ts now being graded. The new road will be fully thirty miles shorter than the route now traversed by the Penn cylvania road." It was only seven months ago that Democratic orators and journals were denouncing and ridiculing re sumption, proclaiming it an impossi bility, and prophesying that nnnum- bered evils would follow the attempt i Gen. Coffroth even went bo far as to announce in a published phamphlet that if elected to Congress he would arge and vote for the repeal of the resumption. Well, the General for get his pledge and resumption became fixed fact, and after seven months active trial, paper money maintains its eqnality with gold, nobody wants the coin, and the Treasury holds as reserve one hundred and thirty -five and a half miliioas of gold coin and bmllion. , What bas became of the prophesies of evil, the denunciation and r&icnle with which the Democratic poKti ciaas derided the experiment ? Ap parently there is not a Democrat in the land capable of understanding ihe A B of finance. In Miswetippi the ' 'engineer baa 1 1. . k kid Arn vwktard ihtk i i vf ! l uuiM mm ilia u v- bulldozer .Las been bulldozed; dog has eaten dog, and the scoundrelly scheme of carrying elections by vio lence has returned to plague its in ventors. Yazoo County in that State was, when honest elections were held, strongly Republican. By fraud and mob violence, the Re publican leaders were either driven from the county or murdered, and the Democrats became masters of tho sitnaiion. "Home rule." to use a Democratic phrase, was established, nd the fraud used to secure this state of affairs was openly exulted in -nrl dpfcnded under the plea of redeeming the State from negro rule. Foremost in the Democratic pro gramme of violence was one Capt. Dixon, an ex-con federate officer, and so greatly pleased were the Demo crats cf the county with his cam- - - paign against the "Radicals" ia 1875, that they presented him with a mas sive silver pitcher bearing an ia scription testifying to his "brilliant sorvices in the redemption of the countylfrom Radical rule." Having thus secured control, it happened' as is always the case, that there wae'nt offices enough to go around among the patriots that had redeemed the county, and failing a further recogni tion of his services, Capt. Dixon an nounced himself as an independent candidate for Sheriff of Yazoo county, subject only to the voice of the peo ple at the ballot box. Later, other candidates appeared, and an inde pendent ticket was found which in listed the Eupport of about one-third of the Democrats of tbc county.'and nearly all the Republicans. A few weeks since the Democratic conven. tion met, nominated a fall ticket, and resolved that the independent party must be suppressed. Military companies, composed cf simon-pure Democrats, were organ ized and commenced riding about the places of registration for the purpose of intimidating and overaweing vot ers. Dixon and his friends declined be ing bulldozed, and registered in face of the threats, while many others were scared and driven away. As it stood, Dixon had a majority of the registered vote and would have been elected, so other measures bad to be resorted to. Accordingly about live hundred armed men assembled under command of Stubblefield, the Demo cratic candidate for Sheriff and pro ceeded to t'Jio measures with Dixon. They found im with two friends and made the csual demand that he leave the county vvithin twenty-fonr hours never to reicrn, or take the consequences. This he declined to do, but when the mob was about burning his house and assassinating him, he signed the following card; TOTIirDlUt. For the fake of the neuw anil bjiraiaay at tli oounty, and the afleotlon I tear iur bit dually bu1 friend, 1 kjrree to withdraw from the political canvaaa or race isroe In the future; provided, 1 will be protected In mr rhthuu any otlicrcUlten, and my friend R.

YauwClty, July 25, 1W The bulldozers therefore dispersed, the Yazoo City Herald issued an ex tra indorsing the action of the mob, peace reigns in the Democratic party and the political canvass is at an t end. Dixon's friends, however, refused to submit auietlv and appealed to er - the Democratic Governor of the State to call for U. S. troops to keep the peace or to preserve it and pro tect a free ballot by use of the Stte militia, but he declined to do either, and said he would write the Sheriff to trj and prevent further trouble. So the Mississippi plan, invented to crush out white and colored Re publicans, has returned to plague its inventors. It is well enough that Dixon, one of its originators, has had a taste of bis own brewing, and but little sympathy will be extended to him. His humiliation and defeat proves the danger of encouraging fraud and violence as a political force, and it shows in an unmistak able way bow the South is "made solid" for the confederate Democracy. The oft propounded query, "will dog eat dog?" has at laet been satis factorily answered. Six months ago the iron mills and the furnaces were begging for orders. Now they have all they can do be tween now and Christmas, ana it is not a question of priee but of deliv ery. Orders can readily be gat with in the coming month to keep all the mills at work until next summer. North American.

The 6outv has not adopted beer instead of whis ky as a common drink. What the effect will be, another year will de velop. Beer does not craze like whisky, so that to that extent the change may be a benefit. Commissioner Ranm's letter re porting to Secretary Sherman tho condition of the internal revenue ac counts is a remarkable showing. During the past fiscal year, $113, 000,000 hare been collected and paid into the Treasury without any loss or deficiency, and the entire amount which is in default apo tie collec tions of three years, amocsticf lo $343,000,000, is just $2,7S6. This jam will be recovered by suits. And yet Democratic members of the Sen ate strode to 6how at the last session of Congress that the public service was honeycombed with corruption and wastefulness.

The position of Alexander H. Ste phens as a political thiuker gives im portance to his declarations such as can properly dc accorded to no omer leader of Southern public opinion His intellect dominates his feelings and his utterances partake of the na ture of a definition of opinion, lie- sides, his well-known cocBervatism cf character am' his moderation of view justify us i rcgarJiux' w c-f grc.it significance recent public re for mation of his lief in the existence of the right o State secession from the Union. In Lis letter to the editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, an extract from which was printed in tho rress of J uly 29, he says: "The right of secession I never questioned and have defended with all the power I could command, but my judgment was very decided against the policy. My mind on these subjects bas undergone no change and is not likely to undergo any." This pregnant declaration deserves to arrest the attention of the whole country. It is not the raving of Rob ert Toombs or Jefferson Davis, but tte calm and deliberate declaration of the ablest Democratic politician in public life that, ia the future, as in the past, the right cf secession is the foundation-fact crrwhich all political theories rest, and from which they spring. From the close of the war up to this date we hare been led to believe that the Southern States, beaten ia revolt, had given op th dangerous claim, which has been the source of all their woes, la toe re construction action which was taken ia the early fall of 1SC5, under Presi dent Johnson s invitation, toe ordi nances of secession in most of those States were cot repealed bnt annull ed, it being the theory of president Johnson's administration on the one band and of those Southern conven tions on the other, that all insurrec ticnary proceedings in those States were unlawful and void, and there fore to be annulled as without au thority. In view of this deliberate action, and of the repeated profes sions of the politicians and statesmen of the South, the country hag been led to believe, up to the moment of this declaration of iur. Stephens, that the claimed right of secession had gone down with the surrender cf the armed forces wnicn baa been summoned to its defense. But, an unexpected clemency hav ing opened the Government to the control of the men who made the war, and blunders ia policy having enabled them to seize one State after another, generally by deceit, often by fraud, not eeldom by force, the South- era leaders find themselves in posses sion of both bouses of Congress, with hope that they will soon capture the Executive branch of the Government Emboldened by these successes and intoxicated by these expectations, all restraint has been thrown off; and the coolest and most conservative ma among them has taken the op portunity plainly and defiantly to an nounce that the right to separate it sell from the nation, sX wjll, exists ia every State-community which rests within the folds of the Union. It is enough to announce this fact Words cannot exaggerate its importance. The presence of the treasonable spirit in the hearts of the people of any section or State is alone necessary in this view to the re-making of an issue which the world supposed had been adversely settled hj the appeal to arms. If the rebellion had been suc cessful the claimed right of secssion would have been vindicated in the disruption of the Union. Bnt the re bellion was unsuccessful, and, accord ing to Mr. Stephens, the claimed right of secession remains vindicated as a constitutional right, to be exercised at will, according to the judgment of the majority of the voters of any State. And thus we are where we began in 1SG5. Confederate restora tion has already begun to undermine the pillars of the Republic.

Va., August 4 A fire broke out at Yolcauo, a town of 2,000 inhabitants, in Wood county, ia this State, early this morning, and is still raging fiercely. Half the town is now in ashes and it is proba ble the flames will not be stayed until there is nothing left for them to feed on, as water cannot be had to auencb aa oriinary fire. At the present writing the stores, hotels, ware houses, the telegraph office and the depot are destroyed. Among the stores burned are Graham, Smith & Co.'s. Jackson & Gould's, Samuel Thompson's, Ackson W. C. Stiles', J. W. Gill's, post office and store. Several of the houses carry very large stocks of goods. Many of the warehouses are stored with oil. As every house in the town is built of wood it is almost certain that the entire towa will be consumed. It is estimated that the loss will reach fully $100,000; probably more. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Later The fire originated in the store of Thompson & Barnes. It was discovered . about i o'clock. The flames spread rapidly, and reach. ing some oil tanks they cangnt fire and bursted, the burning oil running through the streets and setting fire to buildings oa either aide. There were six hundred barrels of heavy oil burned, ten stores, post office, railroad depot, telegraph office, hotel, printing office, nine dwelling houses, the West Virginia transportation office, Smith's boiler works, one pumping ation, and eeveral other small building9. Nearly everything is a total loss. Almost the entire contents cf the stores and dwellings were consumed. Loss $75,000 ; in surance, $3,000. Kapld Tranaic The elevated railroad which the Pennsylvania railroad company has had in contemplation for some time may now be said to be a certainty. At a recent meeting of the board of directors cf the company, acting President Roberts submitted the out lines of plan for the proposed road from the west side of the Schuylkill to Fifteenth and Filbert streets. A double track iron bridge will span the Schuylkill river near Fi'.bert street, atd the approaches on the wc3t side will run north of the grain house end on ths east side north of the gas works, and thencp down the south side to Filbert and Fif teenth streets. A large amount of property has already been purchased and the work of securing others will go on until all is secured. There will be area enough for nine tanks without interference with the road way or sidewalks of the street. The grade cf the road will be seyenteen feet above the street grade and thus all interfrenca with the street cross ings and traffic will be avoided. The terminus will occupy the entire space between Sixteenth and Merrick streets and Market and Filbert streets, upon which will be construct ed a mammoth passenger and freight depot The landing of passengers will be on the second floor of the depot, while a hydraulic apparatus will lower the freight cars to the street line, the cars also being shift ed by transfer , tables as desiraMe. It is estimated that the whole cost 6f this improvement will be between two and three million dollars. The railroad oa Market street will be vacated ad the freight cars will run on the line of the rear of the second story floors of the warehouses on the north side of Market street, . so that turnouts can be run ia oa their sec ond floors from the rear. The West Philadelphia depot will, it is under stood, be retained for the transaction of local business. A Terrible Tragedy la Perry Coaaty. Harrihbcko, August 7. William K. Miller, of this city, was shot and killed to-day by Samuel Albright, about 19 miles east of Newport, jn Perry county. Albright was a re jected suitor of Miller's wife. . Miller reached Montgomery's Ferry last night, and this morning while con versing with his wife he was intro duced to Albright, who, after handing a letter to Mrs. Miller expressing bis intention of killing her and her hus band, discharged a revolver twice, one of the balls taking effect in the heart and breast of Miller. The murderer then aimed at Mrs.Miller, but missed his mark, after which he sought refuge in the- mountains, a few yards from the scene of the mur der. A sealed letter, written by AI bright, was picked up, in which he threatened dire punishment to any one pursuing bira. Albright commit ed the crime in A t f jealousy.

McKittrick, a young man ot twenty-eight years, was fourteen years since bitten by a mad-doer, and at the time was treated in the usual way with suoh cases until he was supposed to be cured and safe, lately he has bpen afflict ed with inflammatory rheumatism; it left the body and went to the brain, rendering him almost craxy. To-day he was seized with a spasm very much resembling hydrophobia, froth ing at the mouth, barking like a dog, and snapping at any thing within react). These spasms have been re peated several times, and growing worse, until there can be no doubt of the presence of hydrophobia, and it must have come from the bite of the rabid dog fourteen yeara ago. wlft aa mmet JoaUcr.
