According to the best estimaj the Southern States will thisAear harvest 5u,000,000 bushels of corn more than any previous year. It may be necessary alter a while for Cleveland to ask of applicants among the first questions: Have you ever been indicted, or been in jail? The harvest of postmasters' heads is being gathertd, and the crop is said to be a remarkably full one, beating everything of which we have statistics. Senator Sherman insists on a free ballot and a fair count, and the . Democrats are all howling that he is waving the bloody shirt, md dig ging up the issues of the late war.J The coal miners on the Mononga hela river are again on a strike. Sev en thousand men have quit work becanse the operators will not accede to their demand for three cents per bushel. Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson has a little double-geared guillotine, which evidently runs by steam, md don't get tired. It is the peartest machine around Washing ton by all odds. The Philadelphia l'rex says : It is an interesting coincident that Pres ident Cleveland left camp and ad journed to a hotel the very day that the New York World says the party ran out of whiskey. Mr. Conrad B. Dav has formally accepted the nomination for State Treasurer. The campaign is now officially opened. The size of Quay's majority depends upon the amount of work done by the Republicans. Dakota is knocking loudly at the door of the Union for admission as a State. But as Dakota is Republi can, and the next House of Repre sentatives is Democratic, there is not much chance for such an "offensive partisan" being admitted. Democratic journals are felicitat ing themselves on the fact that the Republicans "do not seem able to say a single word in decryment" of Mr. Day. Well, no! nobody knows Mr. Day. He hasn't got any char acter to decry ; he has just been discovered. The Secretary of the Treasury is trying to force into circulation the immense amount of silver lying idle in his vaults, by "freezing on" to all the one and two dollar bills he can get hold of, and witholding them from circulation. This accounts for the scarcity of small notes, of which there is general complaint It is now generally understood that the contractors on the South Penn road have been instructed to go on with their work, but with re duced forces. This looks as if the railroad wreckers were not feeling just so sure of their ground, and not withstanding their bluster, are not so confident that they can defy the constitution of the State with im punity. The Derriocratic tricksters have finally determined to get rid of their pledges to enforce the Civil Service law by aUetnp'iug to have it declar ed unconstitutional. A writ has been issued in the lT. S. Court of New York, requiring the Commis sioners to show by wnat authority they usurp the functions of the President in making appointments to office. The brilliant orator Col. McCart ney has been nominated by the Re publican convention of Luzerne county as a candidate for District Attorney. He was one of the too-good-for-anything gentlemen who helped to defeat General Beaver in J.SS2. How would he like to have meted out to him a dose of the stuff he then concocted to beat his party's candidate? One of the first acts of Secretary Whitney on getting into office, was to discharge the men in the govern ment navy yards, under the plea of economy. Elections are now ap-i proaching in the doubtful States of New York and Virginia, and the na vy yards at Norfolk, at New York j city are being crammed with Demo cratic partisan voters. This is what is called "Reform." As the time for the assembling of the next Congress draws near, the Democratic free-trade journals are cemmencing to rear on their hind legs, and can upon mcir louowers to - t 1 ' 4 .

I . ?,."S.S Z ! tended to assist the Democratic J campaign ,g -shown by tke universal IcomDiaint that "the Democratic postmasters refuse to distribute Re publican newspapers and documents and euch letters as they think relate to political allairs of the campaign." Of course, in Democratic eyes, this is not "offensive partisanship." One of the eilliet--t things set afloat in the newspapers by the Vander bilt crew, is the story that the Penn sylvania railroad people will pro ceed to finish the South Tenn, and by making the minority stockhold ers contribute their monthly instal ments will thus punish them for their refusal to be sold out. As the "Penney" claims to have bought two thirds of the stock, and will therefore have to furnish two-thirds of the money to finish it, she would simply be "cutting off her nose to spile "her face," if this fool story be President Roberts, of the Penn sylvania railroad, is reported as say ing to an interviewer : That Air. C:iflily can prevent the sale to us of nimiU-r f "lioles in the earth on the ground that weare ixm liasing a connoting and parallel line of railway, wim to lue ridiculous, and this is ali-solmeiv the case in volved.

It will strike most ;ople as a reckless piece of extravagance, that Mr. Roberts should be willing to pay three per cent, per annum for all time to come, on seven or eignt mil lions, just for these "holes in the earth" that have no value, and no existence except on paper." Roberts ought to take a rest ; his over-taxed brain no lonirer comprehends th lue of money. The Philadelphia Ilenrd calls the attention of the farmers of the Cum berland valley to the fact that the trunk line railroad's are carrying grain from Chicago to New York for 82.40 per ton, while the Pennsyl vania railroad is charging $2.50 per ton for hauling a ton of grain in car load lots from Mechamcsbure, Cumberland county, to New York. This railroad brings the Chicago shipper neirer to the market than the Mechanicsburg farmer is brought, or in other words the rail road company oilers a premium of forty cents a ton to every one in the east who will patronize the Illinois grain market instead of buying in Pennsylvania. The H,-,rtl further says: "The e . 1 1 grain snippers oi aamuemuurg, Shippensburg and Carlisle are even greater sufferers than those of Mech- anicsbur,;h,the charge for hauling car load lots of grain from those points to New York being three dollars per ton." This is but one example out of many that might be quoted, showing how the people of this State are discriminated against by the railroad corporations they have created, but it clearly shows the farmers of Pennsylvania why these monopolies labored for and procur ed the defeat of the "anti-discrimination bill" at the last session of our Legislature, and why the Pennsyl vania railroad is so anxious to pre vent competition, by crushing the South Pennsylvania road. THE BLOODY SHIRT. The South Keeps It to the Fore and Will Not Bury It, Indianapolis Journal (Rep.) The bloody shirt and all the at tendant recriminations should be laid awav forever. It should have been buried deep at Appotamax, when the lust great sacrifice had been made for the Union. It should have been buried there while the na tion was yet in tears over its beloved dead. It should have been buried before the bull-whip cut the flesh of ex-slaves in Louisiana because they dared exercise the rights conferred upon them. It should have been buried before the Georgia "red-shirt-ers" and South Carolina "white-liners" went on their nightly raids, and left a trail of blood and spread ter ror everywhere among the defence less, timid blacks. It should have been buried before the Chisholm massacre, whet father and daughter were shot because the one dared ex ercise his right as a freeman. It should have been buried before the slaughter of Republicans at Coush- atta and Ellenton. It should have been tiuried before Print Matthew6 was nssasiuated for daring to vote in an open election after being warn- ed not to do so. It should have been ! buried before his slayer was elected ;henn in honor ot his services in behalf of the South. It should nave been buried before Democratic ex rebels of Virginia murdered a score or more of colored men at Danville, and threatened further violence in event the state was not carried in common with the other Southern States. It should have been buried before the post-bellum solid South was murderously conceived and most murderously secured. It should have been buried before a party came into power that had no favors for the South except for men who were the sworn enemies of the Union during the war. Dr. Bottermores Trial Postponed.

Mrg w R Chamberla;n w,fe of CHINESE KILLED LIKE DOGS. Driven from a Mining Town bj While Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept 3. The Leader has the following dispatch from Rock Springs: The largest coal dines in the entire Union Pa cific system are at Rock Springs, 250 miles "west of Cheyenne. The com pany recently imported a large number of Chinese to take the plac es of the white men employed. Yes terday the entire force of white min ers, about 150 strong, organized and, arming themselves with shotguns, marched to Chinatown. After firing a volley into the air they reloaded and ordered the Chinamen to leave the place. The order was obeyed at once, the Chinamen fleeing to the hills like a drove of Bheep, closely pursued by the miners, who fired several vollevs at the fugitive with fatal effect " The Chinese quarter was then set on fire and thirty-nine houses owned by the company were destroyed, together with their con tents. The miners next visited the var ious mines in the camp, unearthed all the chinamen at work therein and bade them flee for their lives. Of 500 Chinamen here yesterday .morning not one remains. All are in the adjacent hills, ineywantea to go to Green River, fourteen miles west of here. Seven were killed out rieht by the shots fired by the min ers and many were wounded. It is said that several who were feeble and helpless from disease perished in the flames. Sheriff Young arriv ed from Green River yeeteraay af ternoon with a posse of deputies, but thev were too late to prevent the mob from carrying out their plans. The miners quietly dispersed after having made sure of the departure of the Celestials. Thus far fifteen dead Chinamen have been discovered and there are probablv as many more dead bodies in the ruins. Fify horses belonging to the railroad company and fifty more belonging to Chinamen were burned. The Chinamen are yet in Khe hills west of town. They are without food and are afraid to go to Green River City, about ten miles distant. Governor Warren is now at Rock Springs with Superintend ents Dickinson and Wurtele, of the Western Division of the Union Pa cific Railroad. No more disturbance is anticipated. Food will be sent by the authorities to the starving Chi namen in the hills. San Francisco, Sept 3. Colonel Bee, the Chinese Consul, received the following dispatch from Evans ton, Wyoming, to-day, relative to the massacre of the Chinese at Rock Springs yesterday: "The number of Chinese killed outright was elev en. There are a large number of wounded still in the hills, many of whom will probably die. The Chi nese dare not go out in search of tlietn." The dispatch concludes by stating that it was nothing but a massacre of defenceless people. ONLY O.NE-THIKD OF THE DEAD IN THE MINES RECOVERED. Rock Springs, Sept 5. All is quiet to-day and the miners have re turned to work. At, a meeting held hist night measures were taken to put a stop to the drunken carousals of a few of their number who had been celebrating the removal of the Chinese. Two more dead CelestialB were found to-day, one in the ruins of Chinatown and theother beneath a railroad bridce about a mile east of this place. The latter had been wounded and had managed to walk as far as that - ' Miners who took an active part in the attack upon Chinatown say that less than one-third of the dead Chi nese in the ruins of the houses have been found thus far. They declare that no less than twenty-five were shot down inside the burned build ings. These dwellings had roofs of dirt, which covered up the dead Chinamen when the roof succumbed to the flames, and as no actual search has been made in the ruins it is quite probable that the miners' statements are true. Chinamen are still arriving at stations east and west almost dead from fright and weak from fatigue and loss of food. All are shipped to Evanston by the company. They reiterate the state ment that many have died in the hills from wounds received in the attack upon them. A ClBeiaMtl Frelckt Dt a4 Wsrs feaasa . (he Lass Bears- las azss.oo. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept 3. About dusk this eveuing the entire fire de partment of the city was called to the corner of Sixth and lloadly streets where a fire had gained much headway in the freight depot of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. The building extended from Fifth to Sixth streets, a distance of 500 feet feet The lower floor is occupied as a freight depot by the railroad company, while the upper stories are used by the Cincinnati Malting and Warehouse Company, J. R. Merguett Co., proprietors. An immense quantity of grain was stored in the building, and with the huildine was totally destroyed. The freight on hand was also ba'dlv dam- aged The' loss on the building is $25,- 000; insurance, $10,000. The loss of the Malting Company is $150, 000; insured for $100,000. The freight in the depot was totally con sumed and the loss may reach $50, 000, on which there is $30,000 insur ance. Ijast-Hour Legislation. Harkisblrg, Sept. 5. It has just transpired that a joint resolution en tered into, and supposed to have been passed by, the late Legislature submitting to the people an amend ment to the Constitutlou fixing the population of judicial districts at 60,000 instead of 40,000 never be came a law, from the fact that it was defeated in the House by 85 nays to 27 yeas, not receiving the consti tutional majoritv of 101 votes. In (.the hurry of last-day legislation, on June lztb, it was gathered up with other bills and presented to the presiding officers of both houses for their signatures, and was then messaged to the Governor, who let it become a law by not tak ing action on it within thirty days after the adjournment Secretary Stenger was misled, and sent out official advertisements all over the State in regard to the submission of the proposed amendment taff Baafcara.

This morning Colonel Lipecomb.of South Carolina, a typical Southern Gran ger, Mbegad,sab," talked to the mul titude of how South Carolina had been injured by freight discrimina tion, and then, coming down to the present time, he denounced the South Pennsylvania deal in round terms, his quaint accent and funny stories illustrative of his theme, catching his hearers. This afternoon John Norris, the city editor of the Philadelphia Rec ord, spoke on ant'-discrimination, and showed how the farmers, the coal dealers, the manufacturers and others of this State, had been injur ed by the acts of the great carrying companies. He advocated the elec tion of Legislators pledged to rote to carry out the provisions of the Con stitution in the matter of anti-discrimination and was loudly applaud ed. Ex-Congressman Maish, of York, also spoke on anti-discrimination, and advised those on whose prop erty the South Pennsylvania road touched to insist on its being seized and reverting to the original owners for their use. Col. Victor E. Piollet of Bradford, touched on a variety of subjects, but chiefly denounced the Vanderbilt deaL The great picnic this year is the largest in its history. It is estimat ed that 40,000 people will be on the ground to-morrow. Friday will be editors day, and on Saturday there will be a sale of machinery. Hanged Himself. Pittsburg, Sept 3.

Nothing else was taken. The robbers are described as appearing awkward and nervous and evidently unused to such work. They were roughly dres sed and bad the appearance of farm hands. Each wore a 6mall black mask. J. H. Andrews, a business man of this city, who was on the platform of the smoker, relates that when the men approached the car be thought they were tramps.

The whole transaction, he thought, did not occupy five minutes before the robbers comman a brakeman to pull the bell-rope and stop the train. J a st Wnal It Cost. New York Sept. 3. The objec tion which Undertaker Merritt has made so far to giving to the public the items of his bill for attending the Grant funeral was that it would be unprofessional. It was sugges ted that, as the public was asked through the War Department to pay the bill, there could be no harm in telling the public what it would have to put up. "That seems to be reasonable," said Mr. Merrit, "The exact figures are $14,162 75. That sum includes everything that I did or furnished both at Mount McGregor and in this city. It is the sum total that I am to receive. The largest item was $5,- 000 for carriages. I gave the bill to Colonel Perry. He went over -it carefully, and checked off each item. He said he was very well satisfied with it In fact, we did not change a cent more than we would have charged any body for the same ser vice. Chased two Miles by a Bear. Port Royal, Pa., Sept. 4.

H is likely' he laid down in the barn and fell asleep, the fire from his pipe igniting the hay and caus ing the destruction of the barn and himself. Kansas City, Mo., Sept 3. A gang of seven tramps yesterday morning took possession ot a tram at Lake Station, five miles south of this city, and held it about three hours. The train was on aside track and when an attempt was made to go ahead it was found that the switch had been closed, the work of tramps who had been expelled from the cars a few minutes before. Train men undertook to open the switch, but were driven away by tramps, who fired a number of shots at them. They were finally beaten off and two of the tramps captured. C OURT PROCLAATION.
