The American flag, draped in mourning, was displayed for ten days over the United State Legation in Paris in honor of the late Judge Black. The Agricultural Department of Kansas places the yield of corn at over 206,000,(f bushels, which is 50,000,000 bushels more than last year. REPinucAX State Conventions wf re held last week in Massachus etts, New York and New Jersey. In all of them President Arthur was warmly endorsed. It has cost the people of this State over $300,000 to find out what Dem ocratic Reform means, as illustrated by Governor Pattison and a Demo-1 cratic Legislature. This is the one hundred and nine teenth day of the extra session, at a daily expense of S3oH6, making so far a total of $308,424, which the people have to pay for the luxury of Democratic Reform. The Republican State Convention of New York was held last week and was entirely harmonious. All past difference were buried, and the present State officers were unani mously renominated. Between September 15th and last Saturday, the 21) th, the Postoffice Department issued 102,605,000 new two-cent stamps to begin business with on Monday last, when the re duced rate of postage went into op eration. The scribes are poking a great deal of fun at our do-nothing Legislature, but it is not a joking matter to the tax payers, who will have to foot the bills, at the rate of $3,0 for every day the Democrat hold that body together. The colored convention, which met at Louisville last week, favored placing a colored man oa the Repub lican National ticket next year. They declared that a ticket compos ed of Lincoln and Bruce, would eweep every Southern State. The New York Tribune graciously admit that the gratifying change in the Republican partv is due "in part to the judicious course of President Arthur." The Tribune has large amends to make for it former un gracious act toward the President The School Commissioners of Georgia report that the neeroes in that State pay more in school taxes than is spent in the education of their children. This looks a if the white children of that State were be ing educated at the expense of the despised negroe. If any Republican thinks of stay ing away from the election, or of scratching his ticket, let him remem ber that lukewarnaness and scratch inggaveus the present Democratic Administration and Legislature, which is devouring the people 6iib Ftance, a did the locust in Egypt. General Butler has received the nomination for Governor of both the Greenback and the Democratic Con ventions of Massachusetts. Touch ing hi nomination by the Green backers, the Philadelphia Jleeord, (Dem.,) says that "the nomination of General Butler as the Greenback candidate for Governor of Massa chusetts is an awkward circumstance, but we suppose a man in his pecul iar situation is bound to shake hands with every political polecat that Eidlea up to him." Democratic politicians who im agine they catch distant glimpse of the promised land of power and spoils, are quietly trying to persuade highty-tiety Republican voters that a scheme is a-foot among beligerant members of the party, to scratch Nile or Lirsey, according to last year divisions or sympathies. If ne year taste of Democratic Re form was aot enough to satisfy any kind of Eepublican for a political life time, there might be a chance for this nice little scheme to succeed, tut with the knowledge tiiai last years dolly is daily costing us $S,Q3C, the folly ol dividing our vote is not likely to be repeated. The only, doubt of a sweeping Republican victory in this State, is caused by he fact that this is an off year, and that there may not De a full vote polled. Every good Repub lican should make it a point to speak a good word for our State and Coun ty ticket and urge the voters to turn out m , Now that General Butler is again a saint in the Democratic church, has been nominated lor Governor, and is the probable Democratic can didate for President, it. is laughable to note how very respectfully Dem ocratic editors speak of "Governor" and 4'General" Butler, and then to remember how a few years since, these same editors habitually styled him old "Cockeye," or the "Beast," or "Spoon thief," and cracked witty jokes over the Dutch Gap canal. Some people hanker after a diet of crow. The editor of the Lancaster Inquir er has read somewhere of a "satisfy ing preacher" who was kept on hand to 6ati6fy any congregation which became discontented and wanted to change their pastor. In 6uch a case the satisfying preacher was sent to occupy the pulpit for a few weeks, and his performance was usually so atrocious that the congregation in a short time prayed for the return of their regular minister, and were forever thereafter completely satis fied with him. This little story is very applica ble to the present condition of the Republican party. It became dis contented and wanted a change. A satisfying Governor has been occu pying the political pulpit for the past nine months, and so atrocious has been his performance that the congregation is pravine lustily for the return of the regular minister, and is willing to give bonds to be forever hereafter content with the experiment they have made. Accokdi.no to the Democratic creed, it is constitutional for a Dem ocratic Governor and Legislators to waste the people money in a des perate attempt to gerrymander the State so as to insure the choice of a Democratic Senator to succeed Mr. Cameron, and it is horribly uncon stitutional for Republican Legisla tors to resolutely oppose such action. Tis but a few years 6ince, that this same Democratic creed taught that it was .pnconBtitutional to "co erce a State'? to procure soldiers by draft, to issue paper money, or to do a score of other things necessary to prevent the overthrow of the Union by armed traitors. Each individual Democrat assumes personal custody of the Constitution ; like "Old Hick ory," interpret it to suit himself.and never fails to raise a disconsolate howl if you dare to differ with him. The last and invariable resort of a Democratic rogue, is to invoke the Constitution as a shield for his kna very. GLEANINGS. Young politician writes: "Why does a State have a Legislature ??' My dear boy, it doesn't' The Legis lature has the State, every time. Has it by the throat, by a large majority. Has it by the pocket book. Has it on its back. Burlington Havcleye. An unbroken line of rail now ex ists from Portland, Me., to it name sake in Oregon. A commission house his arranged to dispatch ten freight cars filled with canned corn put up by Portland, Me., firm9, di rect to Portland, Oregon, without change. Each car will be labeled from Portland, Me., to Portland, Or egon, so that they cannot fail to be noticed all alone the route. The train will be photographed before it starts. The Philadelphia Times wants to know if Governor Pattison knows that there is substantial harmony of the Uepublican party this year, and if be knows why this is 60. In an swering the question the Timet de clares that there has been recently the strongest confirmation of what had been understood all the time, that there was harmony in the Iie- fmblican party, and that Pattison is argely responsible for this, in that he made Pilgrim bossism worse than Cameron bossism had ever been to the 43,000 Republican who bolted the regular ticket last year. The In dependent who defeated Beaver caught a tartar in Pattison, and are willing to admit that one experiment of that kind ought to last a party a lifetime. The independence of the "Demo cratic press" in persisting in the pre tense that the Democrats in the House have tried, and deserve credit for trying, to make honesi appor tionment, is only equaled by their mendacity. Four month ago the ouis wiitcn the senate has passed were adopted. Three months m the Stewart bill was offered them, and rejected contemptuously bv them. Since then they have speni three months in bullying, begging and squandering. They know that having driven the Senate to passing its bills, and declaring that they would consider no other, the end of legislation was reached. They and the Governor attempted to coerce the Senate until they wasted so much monfy that they are afraid to ad journ, and they hang on because to stop i i destruction, while to hold the session until the election, and at tempt to deceive the people by sheer, desperate falsehood is their only hope. Thi is the simple truth. Telegraph. M-f1d Krpoplicaa Coarentiea. Baltimore, September 27.

A destruc tive conflagration, attended with loss of one life and the cremation of three valuable race horses, occurred on the exposition grounds to-night Prep arations had been for a grand pyro technic display to-morrow night, and several hundred dollars worth of fireworks intended for use were stor ed in one of the outbuildings adjoin ing a long row of stables. To-night, about 9 o'clock, people living in the vicinity of the Exposition grounds were startled by several explosions, and almost immediately flames were seen isssuing from the buildings wherein were stored the fireworks. An alarm was quickly sent out, and in a few minutes the entire fire department was on the ground-!. The buildings being frame, their ef forts was of no avail, and in a short time the structure, together with 900 feet of stabling, were in ashes. In the latter were many noted racers, drawn here by the exposition races, which begin on Tuesday. All but three were rescued. Those which were burned were Maud R, owned by J. S. Duston, Boston, and valued at $2,500; Polka Dot entered bv W. J. Small, valued at $3,000, and Kal amazoo, a green horse, the property of Duston,who paid $1,000 for it only last week. A boy named Rodgers, of Kalama zoo, who was sleeping in the stable occupied by Polka Dot, was burned to a crisp. The fire created much excitement, and, happening about the time churches were letting out, thousands were drawn to the scene. The loss to the Exposition Society will exceed $5,000, on which there is an insurance of $3,000. Encounter with Tramps. Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 26. Two tramps boarded a freight train on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Mari etta last evening, and,climbingover the tops of cars, met a brakeman and Railroad Policeman Bergen, of Phila delphia. Drawing pistols the tramps ordered the two men to throw up their hands, which they did. Im mediately afterward the officer and brakeman, catching the tramps off their guard, grappled with them, and seeing that they were being worsted one of the tramps jumped off the train and escaped. Officer Bergen fired at the remaining one who, putting his hand to his body, fell from the train, apparently wounded. The train, which was running rapidly at the time, was stopped, as soon as possible, but nothing could be seen ot the tramp. Their object is believed to have been robbery. Shoot Ilia Son. Grafton, W. Va., Sept. 26. A tragedy occurred a few miles from this place Monday evening which has cast a gloom over the entire com munity. About 9 o'clock Mr. B. G. Mountz, a prominent citizen of West Grafton, was startled by hearing a noise in the front yard, having been somewhat annoyed of late by petty thieving, he grasped a revolver and rushed out On reaching the door he noticed the dim outline of a man's form in the yard, and, raising his pistol, he fired. The man dropped without a groan. The report drew the members of the family to the scene, and on approaching the pros trate body, Mr. Mountz was horrifi ed to find that he had shot his own son. The ball had entered his lore bead about an inch above the left eye. The young man was a youth of much promise, and the remorse and despair of the father at the result of his carelessness was terrible to witness. I he family is quite wealthy and well known. Gov.

Great ex citement was caused in the neighbor hood of the British Consulate thus afternoon by the report of two pis tol shots and the spectacle of a hat less man running at the top of his speed. The fugitive was pursued and captured by a policeman. He gave the name of Feeney, and it was learned that he had attempted to take the life of the British Consul by tiring two shot at him. When the prisoner was brought to the New street station house ha described himself a John A. Feeney, aged 26 years, an Irishman; and oy trade a coachman. He appeared sickly, and said he was recently discharged from a hospital in Buffalo. He declared that be had come from Canada on purpose to kill the British Consul, who had been libeling his character. It was evident that he was of un sound mind. A complaint being preferred against him, he was taken to the Tombs Police Court for exam ination. When Ferry entered the outer room of the British Consulate he drew a seven-chambered revolver and fired two shots, apparently with out any definite aim and without hitting any one. He was arrested immediately afterward by Officer John Carr, of the First precinct -i Tied to a Cow s Tail. Matamoras, Sept 24. George Huston, of Monticello, N. Y., is thir teen years old. Last Sunday he attempted to have some fun with a cow. The animal kept switching her tail while George was milking, to his discomfort Being of an in ventive turn of mind, he tied the cow's tail fast to his leg, and went on with his work. The flies, in the meantime, were getting in their fine work on the cow, and finally she shifted her position suddenly. This made the tension upon her tail pretty strong. She planted one foot suddenly, and without warning, in the pit of George's Btomach, and began to run about the barnyard. The rope with which George tied the tail to his leg was good and strong, and wherever the cow went George went too. Mrs. Charles Smith hap pened to pass at the time and suc ceeded in quieting the animal until George untied himself. He was badly shaken up and terribly bruis ed, and he will not fo.ol with cows after this. A Curious) Piece ot'Glass. Xkw York, Sent. 25. An inex plicable explosion occurred last night at the residence of Mr. A. Can dell, of Brooklyn. Mr. Candell is a manufacturer of artificial limbs at 6S9 Broadway. Last Wednesday evening while he was out riding with his wife some unknown person threw into the buggy a hard sub stance resembling a piece ot fig- shaped glass. The supposed bit of glass was transparent but apparently hollow and had no opening. It was placed upon the mantel in Mr. Condell's parlor and nothing more was thought of it, until last evening, when, while the family was in another part of the house, a tre mendous explosion was heard. No fragment of the apparently harmless piece of glass could be found, but the explosion destroyed everything upon the mantle and overturned several articles of furniture in the parlor. It is believed that the glass curios ity contained dynamite, and that it was thrown into the bugzy for the purpose of killing its occupants. Storm at Buffalo, N. Y. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept 25.

He died of a broken heart within five minutes of the time that Zupish left the room. He leaves a wife and four children. When Zupish saw the effect of his threats he became nearly frantice with grief. The de ceased had been in this country but a fewweeks. Suicide or a Trump. Huntingdon', September 27.

On the walls of the room where the tragedy was committed hung two gold watches also in a pocket-book on the bureau was $400 belonging to the father. There were twenty one cut on the body the neck being slashed from ear to ear. It is not thought that she was violated and this makes the mystery all the greater.

Miss Kate Nordheim a young lady twen ty years of age, living with her moth er on a farm near Woodbine Hotel was found lying in her bed this morning, her throat badly lacerated and life extinct. A razor was found near the body, which is supposed to le the weapon with which the deed was committed. Her parents had sep trated several years ago. They are both in good circumstances ani it is said many bitter quarrels, attend ed with threats had arisen between them. This has given rise to the supposition that the girl was mur dered. An inquest is being held to night and the facts will be more ful ly developed to-morrow. In all probability it is a case of suicide without any perceivable cause. Seventy Lives liost.
