The President baa come out of the woods, and thousands of Democrats are coming out of the brush, beg ging for offices. A single steamer arrived at San Francisco from Alaska during the last week of August, having on board 100,000 seal-skins, valued at 1 1,000,000. The Republicans of Mifflin county have elected their delegate to the next State Convention, and have instructed bim for General Beaver, and to make it a "fight to the finish." The Kew York Commissioners of Immigration during the last year, have sent buck to Europe more Uian 1,100 paupers, convicts and lunatics, who were unlawfully snip ed to this country. Governor Uoadly, of Ohio, has issued a proclamation reciting the destruction of Washington Court House and the destitution of the people, and making an earnest ap peal to the charitable for relief. Some illiberal Republicans are ob jecting to the new Democratic poet master at Bridgeport Ind., simply because he has been cashiered as a deserter and served a term of im prisonment as a thief. Such offen sive partisanship ie highly censur able. Henry Ward Beecher, who vot ed and labored for the success of the Democratic party last year, has had the insolence to tender his advice to the Republicans of New York as to the principles of their platlorm for the coming campaign. These cler ical politicians beat the devil for ef frontery. A few weeks since, the Republi can candidate for Governor of Ohio declined to meet the Prohibition candidate on the stump, and the Democrats were loud in denuncia tion of his cowardice. Now, when a challenge from the same source is given to their candidate, they crawl into their holts and sing mum. What many thought would be a business boom in the near future, has turned out a mere boomlet Shrewd capitalists will not invest their funds in mining or manufac turing enterprises in the face of the Democratic demand for tariff reduc tion. Evidently the boom will await developments during the next session of Congress. Tammany Hall has squarely de clared against Civil Service Reform. John Kelly and his followers are smart enough to know that the pub lic cannot be fooled by the shallow, false pretenses of this Administra tion, and are manly enough to stand up for the spoils system, which they know embodies the genuine senti ment of the party. They have the courage of their convictions, while the Administration, by its shu filing and insincere policy, is simply prov ing its cowardice. Thkke ie a systematic attempt be ing made by the friends of the Pennsylvania railroad, to make the publio believe that even if the South Penn road was built it would be a mere local road between Harrisburg and Pittsburg, unable to earn its ex penses, because it will have neither eastern nor western connections. If this is the case, why is the Pennsyl vania road willing to defy the con stitution of the State, and pay from five to seven million dollars for the sake of securing possession of these "holes in the ground"? The Rev. Doctor Conrad and oth- j ers are petitioning Governor Palti eon to change Thanksgiving day from the Lst week in November to the 12lh day of October, because it is the anniversary of the discovery of America. The original idea, which emanated from the Puritan fathers, was to set aside a day of thanks to the Giver of all good for the bountiful fruits of the earth, and for his protecting care during the year. The day is now observed as one of me.-riment and rejoicing, and of thankfulness that God has been good to us; which, in our judg ment, is much better than a day oi rejoicing that Christopher Columbus discovered this continent Nearly all t&e States have come to the ob servance of the last Thursday in November as day of Thanksgiv ing, and why should this restless desire for change, this utter disregard for venerable and time-honored us ages, this consuming anxiety to tear down old and set up new things, be permitted to control our observance of this day ? The time for this . holiday has now become National. Let it alone, Governor 1 The Philadelphia papers that erst while scoffed at the South Pennsyl vania railroad as a "few holes in the ground," declared that the build ing of it was useless and uncalled ; for, and that if constructed its ton- oage would not pay for the fuel con cumedbyits locomotives, now that public indignation has been aroused ! agtinst the Pennsylvania road bv its attempt to crush out all prospec tive competition, and the State au thorities have commenced egal pro ceedings to enforce the provisions of the Constitution, against the consol idation of parallel railroad lines, have entirely changed their tune, and are insisting that the road is "a supreme necessity to the develop ment of the southern border of the the State, where the product of the fields, the forests and the mines call for railroad facilities." This is a remarkably , sudden conversion viewed in any other light than a desire to conciliate perhaps to de ceive the outraged public senti ment which has been aroused by ( the attempt of the great railroad corporation of Philadelphia to mo nopolize the carrying trade of the State , and set at naught its supreme law. If however this blossoming friendship on part of the Philadel phia journals for the South Penn'a. road. outUsts the decision of the pending issues by the court, we will be most agrbly surprised. Democratic papers are attempt ing to justify the sweeping removals from office under this civil service reform administration, by the aston ishing statement that within a few weeks after the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln almost every Democrat was turned out of office to gratify the spoils-hunting Republicans. The falsity and dishonesty of this state ment is known to every one whose memory goes bck to the days "be to' the wah." When Mr. Lincoln came to the Presidency, every office j under the government was nliea oy Democrats, hundreds of whom from the South resigned their positions to go with their States into rebellion, j while others, less honorable, retain- j ed their offices for a season, to play spy and informers for the Confeder acy, and keep them inorfmed of the governments plans. It is also a historical fact, that thousands of Northern Democrats made no at tempt to conceal their sympathy with the rebellion, and of cour.-e could not be trusted, and were not worthy of being retained in the of fices th?y filled. It will be remem bered also, that the Confederate Government ordered that all collec tors, postmasters and other custo dians of government funds should turn the money over to the rebel authorities, and that all Southern men owing money to Northern cred itors should do the same. This was the state of affairs that compelled Mr. Lincoln to pause in the midst of his tremendous duties and responsi bilities, and sweep out of positions of trust, the rebels and sympathizers with rebellion who choked the ave nues of every department of the government he was laboring to pre serve. It is not pleasant to thus recall the treason and treachery to their trusts of the Democratic officials who occupied every position under the government when Mr. Lincoln became President, but the insolent, intolerant and false accusations of the partisans of the present admin istration demand that the fame of the Martyr President and the truth of history should be vindicated. Let the Cleveland spoilsman enter upon their reward, but let us have no sneaking, false pretexts to cover up their violation of the "civil service reform" rules, which they pretend is controlling their actions. Senator Sherman has put the Democratic press of the country up on a keen howl, by declaring from the stump in Ohio, that the colored citizens of the South are deprived of their right to a free ballot, and that bv virtue of this outrage the present Democratic administration is now in possession of the govern ment There is not an attempt made to chow or even to deny the truth of this assertion, but it is met by the cry of 'Bloody ehirt," "Bloody shirt," and the charge that he is attempting to stir up the old war issues. So was it, in aide helium days, when the declaration that slavery was an evil, or calling atten tion to the fact that the South dom inated the politics of the country by reason of its slave representation, ' a wait in the woods to-day, he was met with the howl of "aboli-! lbTw 8tcne at an emPly nitro-gly-. ., , cerine can. An explosion lmme- tiumst! 'abontinnist! and thediB,e, the stone heinir charge that the object was to stir up j a servile insurrection. Not an at- j tempt was made to deny the ficts; but then, as now, the Northern "dough-face" would cringe and crawl at the feet of the men who held power by reason of representation based upon the numerical strength of the black man, who was deprived of the ballot. But John Sherman cannot be howled down, nor will Democratic ribaldry count for much f the South Pennsylvania Railroad to .u. i r ,l x- ,i. kifuruish l,o00,;KXJ of bricks for the nnUU. kU - know that he is but taking the mi- tiative in the coming struggle.which must be "fought to a finish" wuetb- er the country shall Ix? controlled bv . , . . , " t j ..j enumerating colored citizens in the basis for representation, and then depriving lhein of the right to vote, or falsely counting that vote. ! That Senator Sherman has truth and justice on his side no intelligent man can doubt, and as if to clench his position by a modern instance, comes the news from Mississippi that the Republican Convention of that State, presided over by Con gressman John R. Lynch, who was temporary chairman of the last Re publican National Convention at Chicago, last week, decided after consultation not to place a State ticket in the field because, no odds what the vote cast," itwould not be honestly counted and returned by the Democratic election officers. The discussion and the demand for right started by Senator Sherman, will not down at the bidding ot the men I who are profiting by fraud on the ballot box. The cry of "bloody shirt' will not blind tne people oi me North to the fact that they are be ing systematically robbed of their power by the suppression of. a large portion of the vote of the South, nor will they again lamely submit to ft Presidential succession obtained bv a rendition of this fraud: The question has nothing to do with the J issues of the late war. It is simply this : shall every citizen of the Unit ed States be protected in his right to cast an un trammeled lallot, and have it honestly counted? and on this issue the Republicans of tne country will squarely range them selves by the side of the Senator from Ohio. An Administration Partisan. Washikgtos, Sept 11. Another "unfit appointment" has come to, light A number ol citizens oi Bal timore, including liepresentative Finley, Democratic, and J. Hall Pleasants, President of the Civil Ser vice Reform Association of that city, have filed protests ani appeared in person to urge President Cleveland to revoke the appointment of Morris A, Thomas, of Baltimore, as Indian i Inspector. The charges in rough,) as stated by Mr. Finley, who acted as spokesman.were as follows : First that Mr. Thomas had been presen ted by the grand jury in 1675 for tampering with the ballot-box ; next,1 that Mr. Thomas was a member of a stock brokers' firm, who had re ceived from Dr. Miltenberger, of Baltimore, $18,000 worth of coupon bonds for sale, and had sold them on the stock board, and had given Dr. Miltenberger a check, which proved worthless and has never been paid. There are other charges, among them one from the German bank. It is also charged ttiat Air. Thomas applied for a discharge un- der the bankrupt act and it had been refused on grounds not credit able to the applicant Mr. Finley and others, who have interested themselves in the matter, told Sec retary Lamar, when they called upon him atthe Interior Department.that if the present appointments were al lowed to stand the pretensions of the Administration of a desire for reform would be received with scorn in that State. Masked Uurglars. Wooster, O., Sept. 13. On Fri day night burglars entered the ftirin-house of Peter Traster, a well-to-do farmer residing eight miles north of Wooster, and after binding Mr. Traster and the lady members of the household, ransacked the novate, securing 6150 in money. When they had completed the search of tne house they inyaded the pantry and cellar, enjoying a good square meal. They then hitched a hcrse to the spring wagon and drove . off Some time before morning one oi the young ladies succeeded in freeing herself and re leased the other members of the family. The alarm was given at once and a number of neighbors started in pursuit of the burglar. They traced them to Wooster.where they found the horse and wagon running loose on the road, but the burglars hud succeeded in covering up their tracks and all clue to them was lost. 1 bey were tour in num ber and wore masks. The descrip tion of the men given by Mr. Tras ter tallied with that given of the men who robbed the house of Christian Fair, west of here, in a similar manner about a year ago. Manv believe that this villainous gang live in Wooster, and hope that they may be run down. Molllo Ma&uirclsm Again Kampa.nr, SnAMOKJN, Sent II. Mollie Ma- guireism is again rampant in the Upper and Lo'rer Luzerne districts. Nine murders have been committed recently in the northern coal fields and mines are frequently fired, Murderers and fire-bugs go free and the Coal and Iron Police seem pow erless. The "monlight" rifle com panies are drilling unmolested and the association of miners and labor ers is daily growing by hundreds. it is well known' here that the Mol lie Maguire brotherhood has been quietly organizing since last April and a general outbreak is confident ly looked for before November. De- tectives are watching lor tne ap proach of Socialist Gorsuch, of Chi cago, who, it is thought, will try to organize a revolt among the miners. The familiar "coffin notices" have been received by members of the Law and Order Society. Rldn't Know It was Loaded. BRADFORD.September 13.

DEATH AKD DZZCLATIDN. a SaSBvavansBjjB. itowi scans m ur a cicmii fcmrt la s sIb mmr Momma. . - bM SPBTKcriELP, Ohio, Sept 9. The cyclone which swept over Washing ton Cnnrt House last evening was very destructive. It is a place of four thousand inhabitants, twenly fiv miles west from this place. The cyclone struck the town at 8 o'clock and almost literally swept it from the earth---It came from the North west breaking upon the town very suddenly, carrying everything before it The tornado whirled up Court street the main business thorough fare, and ruined every business block on it at least forty or fifty in all. Hardly a private residence in town escaped, fully four hundred build ings going down. The Baptist and Presbyterian and Catholic Churches all suffered the common fate. The Ohio and Hudson, Pan Handle, Nar row Gauge and Midland Kauroaa depots were blown into splinters, and everv building in the vicinity was carried awaj, making ingress or egress almost impossible. The people were panic-stricken, and fled from the tumbling build ings in every direction through the murky darkness. .A maa irenzy seemed to seize them and they hur ried hither and thither in their wild distraction, little knowing whither they were fleeing. With the cyclone, which lasted perhaps ten minutes, a heavy rain set in and continued unabated during the night. As soon at a few of the cooler beads had re covered their senses searching par ties were organized and the sad work of searching for the dead be gan. Five bodies were recovered from the debris without much diffi culty, and the searchers kept up their dreary work all night, expect ing to find many more. Two or three bodies were stumbled upon in the middle of the street, where they were stricken down bv flying bricks and timbers. The cellars of houses and every sort of refuge were filled with shivering people, huddled to gether in the vain attempt to keep warm. Washington Court House is the county seat of Fayette county. It has made a most extraordinary bus iness growth within the past fifteen years, and, being the centre of a rich agricultural district, with excellent railroad facilities, it had grown to be a business place of considerable im portance. Its residents had beauti fied the town with tasteful dwellings and its recently completed Court House was one of the beet in the State. To-day this prosperous town is a mass of ruins. Last night's ex perience of its inhabitants has no parallel in the experience of any town in Ohio. A heavy rainfall be gan about 8 o'clock. That and the darkness drove everybody into shel ter, so that while there are some who say they saw funnel-shaped clouds it does not seem possible that there could have been much observation of the heavens. Shortly after the rain began the wind came with a terrifying sound. Its work was al most" instantaneous.. People say it was over in two minutes, but nobody could take note of time in such a fearful experience. The fierce roar of the terrible tornado, the crashing of broken and falling buildings, the sharp flashes of lightning, the roll ing thunder and tne pitiless rain combined to produce sensations of the most horrifying character. The gas works were destroyed and the street lights were out Only by the lightning flashes were the fright ened people able to catch glimpses of the desolation that had wrecked their little city. Friends called for friends and as answers came the first shock of dread was relieved. The number of deaths was miracu lously small. ; The next duty was to search for imprisoned and wounded. Bonfires were lighted and torches improvised, and wherever cries were heard ready aid was given. With cheerful wel come the doors of such houses as were not destroyed were opened for the houseless ones driven into the rain. In many cases these were ut terly bereft of all their household goods. The night was a fearful one. The Sheriff called the militia to Bet a guard over the exposed stocks of all the business nouses, tor they were all broken or destroyed and prowl ing thieves were not wanting even in the first hour of the city's misfor tune. With daylight came a most disheartening spectacle. The fair town of yesterday lay torn and wrecked in disordered heaps. The streets were, well nigh impassable from the trees and broken houses cast into them. Worst of all was the sight of the poor who had lost all and who had no place to lay their heads. They wandered hopelessly about, as if tbey were strangers. Of course the people whose houses were not ruined began at once to care for their unfortunate fellow-sufferers, but the farmers soon began to pour into town, drawn by curiosity, but at the same time bringing with them substantial aid for the destitute. Be fore the day had ended the Council ; had taken formal action by organiz ing a relief committee and by night much was done toward preventing ing actual privation. The great wonder is that more lives were not lost In Odd Fellows' Hall forty nembers were gathered at a meeting in the second story when the storm came. The build ing was literally thrown down, yet not one was injured. Thirty went down with the ruins and escaped, . on tije Bron Top down grade to while the rest clung to the walls of (the station, when the engine plun an adjoining block and were rescued ; eed jnt0 t)e uasseriger depot and be- bv ladders. Among the seriously injured aie Judge Asa Grigg, cut on the head ; W. W. Sharp, Bowman Hess, Milton Hyer, Hugh FosterrH. H.

About a week ago a handsomely dressed man appeared in Manchester. He was exceedingly taciturn and remained around the place only a few hours, leaving in company with one of the residents of the town, wno u said to be a hard working labor ii.g man. The pair purchased a camping outfit and proceeded witnout lortneroeiay to Pond Poetoffice. They were seen together r in earnest conversation, critically scanning plots , or maps. After apparently satisfying tnem selves they left the settlement and walked in a northwesterly direction about three quarters of a mile, and there they pitched their tent They once more consulted their plots, and then began digging in a ravine. They dug for nearly a week before they met with any reward. At last, when digging about fourteen feet be neath the surface of the earth, their pick.4 struck some hard substance, which was discovered to be a Blone crock or jar, and a little further dig ging discovered another crock of ex actly the same size. They did not have the patience eo open the jars in the ordinary way, but broke them with their spades and picks, when out rolled a golden treasure. They did not linger in the neighborhood, the one living in Manchester return ing to his home at that place, and the other to some point in the East whence he came. Dr. Frazier, a rep utable merchant near Pond Poetof fice, thinks that there was no less than 35,000 or 140,000 recovered. While the men were digging the owner of the land appeared on the scene and asked them what they were digging for. The better dress ed man of the two replied that he was a geologist and was searching for specimens. A good many theo ries have been advanced as to how the monev came there. It is believ ed bv the people of that neighbor hood that it was the treasure of some wealthy farmer buried Tor safe keeping during the war. Btoneaaad Plea in the Air. Lebako4, P.,Septernber 9. John Seitzinger, wife and children live iu a modest two-story house in this place. For the past several days their lives have been made misera ble, owing to some unseen force, which moves the furniture from one end of the room to the other and which throws stones and other mis siles. The police went there to-day to investigate. Stones were hurled in a continuous shower from the air but no one could see who threw them One of them struck Lucy Seitzinger, aged 10, severely injuring her. Pies, bread, etc., were hurled out of the larder and the plates, cups and sau ceis commenced dancing on the ta ble. While the members of the fam ily were in bed for the past few nights they were turned upside down, sometimes as often as a dozen times in an evening. Large crowds of excited people vis ited the bouse to see the furniture dance and see the stones thrown through the air. When the stones commenced to fly the thickest, the policemen who went to the house left in a hurry. Frequently after an hour's absence Mrs. Seitzinger will find all the furniture disarranged. Superstitious people believe the place is haunted and some of the stones have been given to a witch doctor to use his influence in de stroying the power of these strange and mysterious forces. Results of the Tornado. Washington Court House, Ohio, Sept 11. Congressman John Little, who has been here two days exam ining into the situation of affairs. saye: "The Relief Committee eet' id ate that a hundred families will need assistance because of the losses caused by the storm. Some, as I know from personal observation, are rendered destitute. Numbers of per sons are on the streets in borrowed clothing. Business men, as a rule will be heavily burdened to make their own necessary repairs. Aid for the suffering poor must, there fore, come from outside sources. ' It will require many thousands of dol lars to ' alleviate the suffering, and there should be no delay in furnish ing it There is reluctance among the citizens to ask for outside as sistance. They should not be re quired to ask ; it should come with out asking, and come graciously. Winter is close at hand, and the Relief Committee, which is a most excellent one,will have all it can do, with all the needed funds at hand, to provide shelter for the needy by the time cold weather sets in. Every dollar sent to the chairman, Colonel H. B. Maynard, Washington Court House, will be conscientiously ap plied to the relief of the needy poor." An Engine Rant through a station. HuNTiNGPox.Sept 11. The West ern end of the Union Passenger Depot here was knocked into splin ters this morning and a large Modoc engine completely demolished. About midnight a freight train on the Pennsylvania Railroad arrived here with instructions to back up on the track of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Road for cjal cars. The engine crossed the switch thnt con nects the two roads, but before the engine returned some one ojtened tha ftwitph nrwl t.lm train pnnliniifH fore it could be stopped ran through tne water closets, burgage room, Union News stn-id and meu's wait ing room, cutting part of the hand some brick structure in two.

A heavy rain storm set in here on Sunday night and continued with but brief inter vals until late yesterday afternoon. Through the streets of the city the water rushed and the creeks are all out of bounds. For the third time tins season farmers suffered treat A Gas Explosion in a Colliery. Pottsville. Sept. 9. An expfo-1 eion of sulphur gas at Otto Colliery ! at half-past one o dock this morn ing instantly killed one boy. fatally injured three men and severely burn ed ten others. A quarter of an hour before the explosion occurred Patrick Kilrain and his bod came oat of the upper gangway with naked lights and no ticed no gas present At half-past one o'clock when the party came out on a truck and John Lynn, the driver, opened the door a cloud of gas burst upon their lights and ex ploded with a shock that was felt of the mine, tverylight was extin guished and the burned and bleed ing victims had to grope about in darkness. The . elder Lynn boys found the lifeless remains of their little brother, some time after the first excitement had subsided, and though the flesh was banging from their hands and groped their way through the black recesses of the mine for nearly a mile before they reached the surface through the second outlet. The force of the explosion was ex pended on the three doors in the gangway, passed by the truckload of men coming out these were brush ed away like so many straws. The gangway at the mouth of which the explosion happened is three hun dred aud 6ixty yards below the sur face. No blame is attached to any one, for the fire boss had been through that part of the mine but a little while before and had there been any gas he would nave repor ted to the men. It is not known at what hour the coal in the lower workings run and forced gas out Slain bjr her Son. PrrrsnoRG, Sept 9.

Washington, Ark., Sept 7. A mob on Sunday night visited Pike county jail at Murfreesboro and made an attempt to shoot the Polk boys, confined for murder. Not be ing able to get in range the mob hauled a load of wood to the jail, piled it around the iron cell, satura ted the wood with coal oil, and liter ally roasted both prisoners to death. Nothing was standing but the brick walls of the jail. The Polks murder ed a pedler last year, and have had several trials. This was the third effort by mobs to kill them. Ohio Temperance Dynamiters. Lima, O., Sept. 10. On Tuesday night an attempt was made to blow up with dynamite the hotel, saloon and residence of Neal and Bidwell, in the village of Westmiuster, not far from this place. The saloon had recently been opened, and its pres ence was hotly opposed by some of the inhabitants. The whole front of the first story was blown out and the interior wrecked.
