FOR COCXTY FfliVEYOR: WILLIAM BAKER, Milford Twp. The reduction of the public debt during the month of July, amounted to $3,000,000, and on the first of this month there was in the Trtasnry a balance of t3M,m0,(Ml. The telegrapher' strike has ap parently settled down to a question of endurance, and there the corpora tions have largely theadvatitaqe, and the result is not doubtfult. The Democrats in convention at Harrisburg, on Vednesday last, nominated Captain Robert 'f aggart, of Warren county, for Auditor Gen eral, and Joseph S. Powell, of Brad ford county, for Treasurer. The Republican Senate at Harris burg wants to adjourn and thereby save the tax payers of the State three thousand dollars a day ; the "reform" Democrats of the House insist on an indefinite session at a daily cost of $3,000. The Democrats of Minnesota, in convention last week, in view of the certainty of their defeat, did not deem it necessary to do any strad dling, so they adopted a true blue Democratic platform, declaring against prohibition, and in f:tvor of a tariff for revenue only. The Milwaukee Sentinel is author ity for the statement that leprosy has gained footing among the Nor wegian inhabitants of Northwestern Wisconsin, that it is spreading sure ly if not rapidly, and that it has al ready reached a stage which will re quire radical and persistent effort for its eradication. Illinois has already received more than $1,000,000 of revenue under the operation of her new high license act, and expecU to receive nearly half a million more before the year is out. Democrats threaten to make the repeal of the act the issue in their State canvass, and the Re publicans dare them to do it The long struggle in New Hamp shire over the election of a U. S. Senator, has closed by the election of Austin F. Pike. He has been repeatedly a member of the Legisla ture and was once elected to Con gress. He is a man of ability, a thorough Republican, and has a creditable record. Mr. Pike is in the Uth year of his age. The extra session of the legisla ture is still dragging its weary length along, and the Democrats appear determined to prolong it in the vain hope of forcing the Republicans to yield to their demands. In the meantime the tax payers are being fleeced out of f 3,000 ir day, to pay the exjH-nses of this Democratic re form experiment which the people were deluded into trying. While "resoluting" upon nearly very other question under the sun, tbe Democratic platform makers at HarrUburg, last week, carefully avoided the mention of the prohib itory liquor question. This was a eingular omission in view of the fact that daring the late session, a prohibitory amendment was defeated bv a Democratic flank movement Terhaps, however, it was deemed enough to declare iu favor of untax ed whisky. Certainly, take the tax off whis ky, and thereby make the Democrat ic heart leap for joy. Let us be "frugal in the conduct of affairs." Let us have extra sessions called in the supposed interest of ambitious politicians. Let us dismiss a few ecrubbiug women from the capital and distribute three thousand dollars a day among the faithful who are showing the people how not to do it let us be economical. Drive in the epigot and knock out the bung. Among the planks of the Demo cratic platforra adopted at the con vention at Harrisburg last week, is one advertising that party as the natural friend of the workingman, and the natural enemy of monopoly. From the day of its birth, until it was driven from power in 1S61, that party was the constant protector of slavery, and the advocate of the doc trine that capital should own labor, and as to its being the enemy of monopoly, there is not a monopoly in the State to-day that is not main ly controlled by Democrats. Every Republican journal in the State, including the Independent ones that kicked so vigorously last year, has endorsed Nilea and Livsey Lovely, isn't it? The Democratic State Convention last week, was the most cheerless, lifeless body that ever assembled at the State Capital. "None of its prom inent men were present, and the leading members of that party in the Legislature seized their grip sacks and left the town on the day it met The fact that tbe Republcan party of the State ia united, acted as a wet blanket on the convention, and the quarrels of the leaders ad ded to this, fortold defeat to the ticket they assembled to nominate. It was a gloomy, spiritless, inconse quential aff air, that carried defeat on its face, James Carey, the Irish "Invinci ble," who aided in the Thcraix Tark murders, in Dublin, last year, and 6aved his neck by turning informer and sending his associates to the gallows, has received a dose of the "Invincible" remedy for Ireland's wrongs. After the trial and execu tion of his comrades he left for South Africa, under the assumed name of Power, but was followed and shot dead by an Irishman nam ed O'Donnell, on Sunday, at Cape Town. O'Donnell was arrested with out offering resistance. Last week the Democrats in the Legislature came down from their high horse, and finally accepted and passed the Senate Judicial appor tionment bilL This bill is substan tial the same as the one offered ('during the regular session and re jected bv the Democratic House. So, i after an extra session lasting over two months, and costing the tax 'payers more than $150,000, we have this one bill passed, and are appar ently no nearer the adoption of the Congressional and Legislative appor tionment bills, than when the session commenced. Oxk of the resolutions of the Dem ocratic platform, declares that '"the tax laws of the State should be re vised, and so changed as to make them more equal and more just and bear equally upon all classes of prop erty." Well, why hasn't this change been made ? Two years ago a com mission was appointed to revise the tax lawB of the State. Its report was submitted to the legislature last January by Governor Hoyt, but that body refused to adopt it at the late session. As that was a "Reform Democratic Legislature," could im pudence and cheek go further, than in the call of a Democratic conven tion for a change, which a Democrat ic legislature had just refused to make, and whose work was at the same time commended by this same convention ? Jiik.e Hoadly, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, has got himself into a mighty tight place. Governor Foster stated, on the au thority of a friend; that the Judge had paid $30,000 for his nomination ; this the latter indignantly denied and called upon the Governor for his authority. Foster at once com plied by publishing a letter from J. H. Woodward, in which, after chid ing him, (the Governor,) for letting out this little Democratic secret, he says that Judge Hoadly, in his own office in Cincinnati, on the 2d of July, complained that McLean's perfidy had made the nomination cost him a great deal more money than it ought to have cost him, and when he, (Woodward) stated the alleged amount at $30,000, he did not deny it, and left the impression on his mind tha: that was the sum. To this revelation of corruption, the Democratic candidate has put in no denial. The official statement of the Com missioner of Internal Revenue re garding the affairs of the bureau gives a very different impression of its work from that conveyed in the denunciatory resolution of the Vir ginia Bourbons. They call the in ternal revenue system "a nursery of spies and informers, a menace to the freedom of elections, an intolerable burden to the tax payers, a source of the greatest corruption," ic. The Commissioner, on the other hand, mildly remarks that the system brings in a revenue of $1 ,000,000 a year at a cost of only 3J per cent, for collection, and there is at present no occasion for spies and informers, and the officers are exceptionally faithful and efficient The adminis tration of this bureau has heretofore I been quite a model in its way, and J as iis imj)ortance decreases it is to te hoped that its efhciency will not diminish. The estimated reduction in receipts for the current year will leave the total somewhat above i 8100,000,000. Sesator Gordon, of Philadelphia, on Tuesday last reiterated in the Senate the determination of the Governor to compel the Legislature to pass the apportionment bills. The threat of this young cock-sparrow, who has been frequently put forth as tne Administration s spokesman, settles the fate of these bills. This threat repeatedly made by authority, places each member of the Senate under an obligation to stand upon his prerogative, which is as clear and as high as that of the Governor. The Senator who will yield to threats of what the Governor will do, is a cow ard, unfit to represent a free people. The Governor cannot lay his com mands upon the Legislature, nor co erce its action. He can recommend legislative action, but -cannot com- frtnt rtliAi i Ia Vi 5q VieuViActts ' no self-respecting legislator will yield to threats. It is now the imperative duty of the Legislature to prove to the Executive and his spokesman, that it cannot be bossed. GLEAN'tXGS. The dead calm of the Democratic convention at Harrisburg cannot be said to have been disturbed by "old mens wrangles." The "old men" were conspicuous by their absence, aid things generally were managed by the "boys."

Patriotic at $10 a Day. The Democrats of the Legislature declare their firm determination to continue for an indefinite period to serve the State at ten dollars a day in industriously doing nothing at Harrisburg. The self-sacrificing "re form" patriots are too unselfish and patriotic for these selfish latter days. Just think of their devotion to the people! and all, too, without a whimper of complaint! But what do the 'dear people' think about it? Great was Diana of the Ephesians ; and great w Reform of the Democ racy. Media American. Can anyone tell what the Legisla ture is giving the people of Pennsyl vania as an equivalent for the money it is spending? Lancaster New Era. Yes, we can.

Give us something harder. Lebanon Courier. THREE STKOXO POSITIONS. In the State Senate on Thursday last there was not only shown the growing bitter feeling between the Administration Democrats and the Republicans, but a new and more striking determination than any be fore reached was given the clearest possible expression. Senator Reyburn, than whom there are few abler expounders of I our ?5tate Constitution, with lrresist jible logic questioned the right of ! Gov. Pattison to call the Legislature ; into extraordinary session, tor what has been shown to be at best a po litical, and which is the belief of nearly all is for a partisan purpose. The constitutional power placed in the Governor to call an extra session only contemplates such a call in case of high public emergency, such as war or invasion, and it is an abuse of power to call it together to do that which is as well not done for a year or two. There is no actual need for a political apportionment Congress itself by inaction delayed Congres sional apportionment for a year, the Census Bureau delayed other appor tionments yet another year, and never in the history of any State has the duty of making apportionment within any single year, been consid ered imperative. So that Reyburn's position is sound, and the Governor has exceeded his constitutional pow er in his call for an extra session, which a little common sense must have told any one, was useless, after the failure of an effort running through five months, to reach any conclusion by two Houses which are politically at war with each other. The second strong point, and the newest and most direct issue yet presented, came from Senator Stew art in reply to Gordon's threat he speaking for the Governor, that the legislature would be kept in session until all of tbe apportionment bills are passed. Mr. Stewart regarded this as a threat from the Adminis tration that it would control legisla tive action, and coerce it into com pliance with the Executive's wishes. In referring to thi3 remark he said he regretted that an arbitrary Exec- utive should attempt to take direct l issue with the people. "I will resist," ; he continued, '"any or all invasions ! of the people's rights, by an arbitra- under the guise of a great Constitu tional protection to coerce this Leg islature to do what cannot be done." This declaration was applauded to : tne echo oy me uepuDiicans. &en ! ator Herr, one of the ablest of the I public men of the Senate, said that I "it was the height of folly to contin ue a Ueoate that was 3 lutue, as idle, as inconsequential as winds that blew over a barren surface. The Republican Senators will not recede from their position until the angel puts one foot upon the land and one upon the sea and declares time shall be no more," was his clos ing peroration, and it provoked ring ing applause. The third strong position taken all along by the Republicans, is that they have framed their two political bills in such shape that they are right There can be no two ways to the right in this thing, nor will any com promise be right. The law says, and it says no more, and it says no less, than "the districts shall be of com pact and contiguous territory, as nearlv equal in population as may be." "The Republican bills fully comply with this constitutional and legal mandate ; all are of com pact and . contiguous territory there is no gerrymander, and they are as nearly equal in popula tion as may be in fact 09 can be, for without dividing counties they cannot be made as equal by any other process. i hese three points show the Ke- Eubacan position. It is impregna te, and the Republican Senators and Representatives cannot be driven from it by either the threats or the ower of an accidental Democratic louse, or by the blustering of a bitterly partisan accidental Governor too young and inexperienced to see the folly of a purpose which is already disrupting his own party, for all'of its older heads desire to end a session which, if it were not se painfully expensive to the people, would be farcical beyond any legis lative precedent The Republicans have openly called for adjournment from the day disagreement was ap parent Delaware American.

Tbe President! Party' Gaily Deco rated Cara A Great Crowd Throwa tm tbe Ground by a Platform Break log at Greeacaatle. ' Chicago, Aug. 2. President Ar thur and his party arrived here to night The special train in which they traveled left the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago depot at Louisville half an hour later cross ing the long bridge which spans the Ohio River at Jeffersonvllle, was soon speeding along at a quickening rate under the foothills of Southern Indiana. The leave-taking at Louisville was, in a measure, informal, although a great concourse had congregated in and around the depot to give the President an early morning send off. The gaily-uniformed band of the Louisville delegation was on hand to discourse "Hail to tbe Chief!" as the presidential party entered the depot This band accompanied the Presi dent to Chicago. a gaily decked train. The special train was decked out in royal fashion. The engine was be-flagged and be-ribboned almost beyond its original semblance. It was studded with small flags and streamers and bore on its headlight an enlarged portrait of the President! The three splendid coaches and din-1 splendid ing car, which made up the train, were also gaily decorated. Under the circumstances, there could be no mistaking the identity of the special to the great crowds were collected at all way stations to witness its flying passage. The party on board consisted of President Arthur, Secretaries Lin coin and Folger, Postmaster-Genera Gresham, Senators Bayard and Beck and a representative of the press, General Sheridan and party returned to Chicago last night The transit of the special train was evidently a thing of interest, as was evidenced by the great crowds along the entire route. Every cross ing had its quota of spectators, and the rail fences on the outskirts of some of the villages in the lower portion of the state were literally decorated with natives. Owing to the delay in starting, no stop wa3 made after leaving New Albany until Salem, Ind., was reached, and the train passed through all inter vening villager with a flying rush No place appeared bo modest that it failed to possess piece of ordnance. and accompanying the cheering of the assembled crowds was the deto nation of the artillery, THAXK8 FROM THE COLORED PEOPLE. A stop of ten minutes was made at Valpariso, where a crowd num bering fully 8,000 persons had col lected. Here an address was read by Mr. Linge, of that city, on behalf of the colored residents of alpariso, thanking the President for the stand he had made on behalf of the race at various times. President Arthur replied in the briefest terms, think ing them for their kind wishes. Vehement calls were made for Secre tary Lincoln and postmaster-Genera! Gresham, but these gentlemen, fol lowing the action of the President briefly expressed their pleasure at meeting such a great concourse, and said they regretted they could not linger and speak at length. A Desperate Girl. Urbana, Aug. 3. Miss Hannah Aaron, who had been committed to the lunatic asylum for attempting suicide a few weeks ago, and dis charged on the ground that there was nothing the matter with her, effected her purpose yesterday. She obtained a box of sulphur matches and ate the brimstone ends off them until she was prostrated. She refus ed to take medicine when the doctor came and died. This is the fourth attempt that she had made : the first time she tried to hang herself, the second time she plunged out of a hay loft, the third time by cutting her throat and the fourth and success ful time as described above. The cause is attributed to the villainous conduct of Ralph Cramer, who had promised the girl to marry her, but when the day arrived for the event he only laughed at what he called the arirl's foolishness, and nositivel declined to fill his part of the con tract and since that day the girl has made persistent and determined ef forts to take her life. Minnesota Democrats. St. Paul, Aug. 3. The Democrat ic State Convention assembled here this morning, C. F. Buck acting as temporary chairman.

A special from Newport Vermont says the express train of the Southeastern Railroad from here to Montreal was derailed three miles from North Troy and the whole train wrecked. Two parlor, one baggage and one passenger car and the engine were made a com plete wreck. A lady from Derby was fatally injured. Some fourteen others were seriously hurt. Fred Pierce, of Stanstead, and his servants were badly hurt home of the injur ed were brought here and others to Newport Centre and North Troy i She DmUL , . Wheeling, W. Va Aug. 2. A horrible homicide was committed last night in Doddrige County, near New Salem. John Cay ton, agent for lands owned by Judge Camden, rented a piece to Henry Rice. A difficulty transpired in reference to the payment of the rent some time ago, and Cay ton and Rice exchanged shots. Last evening both men met in a wood and tbe feud was renewed. Each was armed. A shooting main opened. Rice was fatally shot by Cay to ii. His gun was loaded with lath nails. Forty-five ugly jagged wounds were counted in Rice's corpse. ' TERK1UIJ2 KAILTtOAD ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK. Nineteen Persons Killed and Thirty Injured. Albion, N. Y. Aug. 2S. A terrible accident occurred on the Rome, Wattrtown and Ogdensburg railroad at Carlyon, station, about 9:30 last evening, by which nineteen persons wero killed and thirty were injured. The train, a double header, was excursionists train No. 53, and was bound for 'Clayton, with ' Thousand Island tourists, mstly, from Michi gan. The excursion train was be hind time, and when the collision occurred it was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The wind was blowing a gale, and had blown a freight car off the side track. The collision threw one ut the engines on end and the other into the ditch. The baggage car and two sleepers were completely demolished. Cars were piled upon one another until there was one vast heap of ruins. At the time a heavy thunder 6hower was passing over and the night was dark. The cries and shrieks of the dying and wounded were terrible. The crash was heard three miles away. . The country is but thinly settled, and it was sometime before assistance could be obtained. The coroner, Dr. Cochrane, of Albion, was sent for, and the work of recov ering the bodies commenced. Fire man France was instantly killed, and Engineer McCarthy, of the second engine, was terribly scalded. He died after they put him aboard the fireman and train dispatcher of the first engine pnami although all train lor Uswego. Ihe engineer. . r? 1 O were injured. Those of the injured who could travel were placed in a sleeper and taken to the Falls, while the rest were taken to the neighbor ing houses and cared for. One man, who lived but a few rods from the wreck, had driven his son to Lyn donville, a distance of three miles, to take the train, and got home just in time to find him a corpse. The work of removing the debris is being pushed forward rapidly and the track will be cleared in a few hours. At 2 o'clock a special train arrived from Oswego, having on board Coro ner Cochran. James Bailey, engi neer of the first locomative testified that he first saw tbe car about three rods ahead, he blew for breaks and reversed the engine. The next thing he knew he was in the ditch. Albert Peary, the track walker, testified that he went over the track about half an hour before the collision and every thing wis all right, yet it seems from other testimony that a freight car was blown 126 feet with brakes set as testified by a brakeman, which appears hardly credible. The depot master says he did not examine or look if everything was all right The testimony of witnesses was so conflicting that the jury was unable to agree upon a verdict at once, and adjourned until Wednesday. Killed by a Col Union. Troy, N. Y., Aug. 1. Two Troy and Boston freight trains collided this morning at Pownall, Vt. The locomotives and trains were wrecked. There were six persons killed, of whom four are: Marks Sutherland and Charles Marden, engineers, of Troy; John Barrett, conductor, of Troy, and II. H. Bruce, operator, of the Troy and Greenfield Railroad State Line Station. Twelve cars were burned. The bodies of the 6ix men killed were burned to cinders. Conductor George Warner and Fire man Frank Barnes were both serious ly injuried about the head. Mr. Johnson, the night operator at Petersburg Junction, is blamed for the collision. He had been given orders to hold one train at the junc tions and neglected to transfer his instructions to the day operator, who in his ignorance, allowed the train to pass. Charged with Murder. Wilkesbarre, Pa,, Aug. 2. Mary Bowman, an English woman, forty years of age, of Ross township, gave birth to a child in the woods at North mountain on Monday while ebb was picking berries. She did not return home until Tuesday, and as the child was not 6een again by those who had accompanied her, search was made and tbe dead body of the infant was found concealed in a ledge of rocks with its skull crush ed. Mary has been arrested and committed to prison here. As yet little can be learned of the crime. The vvomiin is dangerously ill and mav die at anv moment. A Dislocated Neck Reset. Reading, Pa., Aug. 1. Six doctors successfully set the dislocated neck of Edward Schwartz, yesterday, after the body had been paralyzed almost completely. The neck had been broken by the fall of a limb of a tree and death was assured unless the broken fourth vertvbra could be drawn iu place. The situation was explained to the dying man, who desired the doctor to proceed. The Rev. J. C. Deninger was called in, and in the presence of the entire family held religious services, the dying man being able to speak and understand, but not to move. The physicians then, by physical force, pressed the bones into place, and sensation returned at once to the body. It is believed that Schwartz will recover. Draught in British Columbia. Victoria, B. C, Aug. 2. The dry, hot weather continues here. There has been no rain tor two months. Forest fires are raginir everywhere, and the air is tilled with smoke. Yesterday afternoon the heat from the forest fires ignited the powder in Onderdonk's mill, near Yale, which blew up. Kvtry pane of glass in the town of Yale was broken. No one was killed, but several were bad ly hurt. Three hundred and sixty cases of giant powder and ten cases of : black uowder exploded. Tbe loss is Iieavr. ' loble Tragedy. CHicAfio, Aire. 4.

Particulars are given of outrages at Monte Cristi, Ecuador. . CoL Manuel Ceballos seized the barracks making prison en of the Prefect The Colonel and trooits then broke into houses of Rokeriquez, Governor, ; Colonel Hereri Chaves," Buaste, Velasquez Zambrano. They captured the owners and imprisoned them. The excitement became intense when it was known that a body of young meftwere coming. from . Manta to attack the barracks, and Guevara, Delgady and Reyes were arrested. Ceballos ordered Jose Castro to murder all the prisoners if the at tack were made. Early in the morn ing the attack was made, after nine hours' skirmish the town was taken. A number were killed, including Jose Castro. Ceballos escaped on horseback. The remainder of the party took to the woods. Duaste, Vasquez, Reyes and Guevara were found murdered in the prison. He reria was alive, although wounded in two places and a leg broken. A court martial was at once held on the leaders of the party captured and four of them4 Sanchez, Pincay, Sambrano and Picon, were publicly shot in the square of Monte Cristi. Smallpox and malignant fever, more fatal than yellow fever, are raging on the coast of Guatemala. Yellow fever is playing havoc among the foreign residents of Callao, in Peru. Store Robbed. Clarion, August 1. Last night two men broke into the store of Steiner & Bartlett, of Scotch Hill, this county, blowed open the safe by drilling and exploding, stole seven hundred dolkrs in currency. They also stole from the same parties a black stallion and a top buggy. Two strange men of the following descrip tion were seen about the store the day before : The larger man had a broad face, high cheek bones, dark eves and moustache, twenty-seven years old The smaller man was about thirty years old, weighing about one hun dred ana lorty pounds, brown eyes and spare face. Both wore dark cnthes. The firm offers a liberal reward for the arrest of the crimin als. A large force is in search and it is thought they will be easily over taken. King Humbert. Naples, August 2. King Hum bert yesterday visited the 6cene of the earthquake on the Island of Ischia, and went over the ruins of the destroyed towns. He expressed the deepest sympathy with the suf ferers and directed the distribution of money and provisions to those in need. Another severe shock of earthquake was felt on the Island last evening, which put a 6top to searching the ruins for bodies of vic tims. It is believed that some of the persons who were buried under fall ing buildings at the time the earth quake on the Island of Ischia occur red are still alive in the ruins. The use of lime on the ruins is therefore opposed. A Father's Cruelty. Chesterville, O., August 1. A brutal assault by a parent on his child was committed ten miles south of this place yesterday. It seems that the son of Silas Preston asked his father's consent to allow him to marry a certain young lady, whereupon the father became enrag ed and desperately assaulted his son with a pitchfork. He viciously hit the young man a blow on the head which crushed in his skull and in flicted a probably fatal wound. At last accounts young Preston had be come entirely crazy from the effects of the cruel blow and little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Suicide of a Young Man. Chicago, Aug. 3. Gavnorden, a finely educated young Swede, was found lying dead in a Swedish Lu theran church at Englewood, near this city, yesterday, having commited suicide. The morning papera claim the young man has been identified as the illegitimate son of King Oscar of Sweden, and that he was raised in the family of a sister of the King. During his stay in this country he has been engaged as an instructor in a private school, ua a portable blackboard back of U)6 pulpit he had written in Swedish : "The dead cry never." No cause is assigned for the deed. Yellow-FeTer.

A Duel to the Death. St. Socis, August 1. At the col ored village of Brooklyn, in the American bottom, opposite St Louis, a frightful duel came off last mid night between City Marshal Henry Green and an ex-convict desperado named Jones. The latter, with a companion, had been engaged, all day in an endeavor to hunt down and kill a stranger, who was sus pected of being a detective from Chicago looking for some of the hard characters who often seek a hiding place ia Brooklyn." Knowing-that his men were armed with shot guns and small arms, Green supplied himself with these weapons and started in pursuit He met Jones about midnight, and, after a short parley, opened on him with both barrels of his 6hot gun. The buck snot-earned away the enure neu from Jones' left upper arm. The men then closed, and in the strug gle Jones got the first shot, sending a bullet from his. revolver into the officer's groins. Green followed it with a snot which passed through the desperado's body. The men were then separated and carried off, and both have since died. Green lin gering until this morning and Jones until this afternoon. Jones was one of the most desperate men in the American bottom, bad shot several people and served two terms in the penitentiary. IionisTille Exposition. Louisville, August 1. To-day is a general public holiday. With the first streak of daylight crowds of peo ple began pouring into the city from every point of the compass, and by 9 o'clock the main streets were so full that it was difficult to pass along the side walks. The Presidential party left the Gait House in carriag es, escorted by a body of police and local military, and moved by the most direct route to the Exposition Building. Their way was a perfect ovation the entire distance, the thou sands of people yelling themselves hoarse as the distinguished visitors passed. The great main building capable of holding 20,000 people, was filled completely, and the crowd was too thick for comfort President Dupont, of the Exposition, welcomed the President in a speech. Presi dent Arthur gracefully responded, and concluded by starting the vast machinery and pronoucing the ex position open. The crowd was wild with enthusiasm. The Presi dential party left for Chicago to night. The managers of the Expo sition were most agreeably surprised at the unlooked for crowds on the first day. A Terrible Struggle. Erie, August 2.
