Despatches from Washington report tbe organization of a new psrtj witbin tba Republican party, to oppose tbe policy of President Hayes. The Democratic papers are greatly dissatisfied with tbeir Governor, Mr. Williams, of tbe State of Indiana. They say be ia into all tbe "jobs" tbat can be stirred up, at tbe poliical Capi tol. The way to distinction and office in number of tbe Southern States is to j iin ibe White Lines, raid on the ne groes, burn them oat, and shoot them. Tbey call that civilization. Tbe worst feature about such cases ia fosud in the fact thai there ia no remedy or redress for tbe violence in tbe courts, or any where else. Unless a man canovaroiue it by superior violenoe he has no re dress. Tbe fast mail trains are a conve&i- eacu for business men in cities, and no one obj-ct to tbetn except when tbey are run to tbe disadvantage of tbe in termediate points or communities, sucb, for exampU, as tbe Juniata Valley. Why not carry a mail on the Way Pas lengcr trains t Tbe right of tbe peo ple in the J uuiala Valley are just as important as are the rights of tbe peo ple of Philadelphia and Pittsburg. When it conies to be a question of dol lars and cents, of coarse tbe Juniata Valley people ate nowhere with tbe itics ; but it is not a question of dol lars and cents, it ia a question of rights. If a government or corporation dare violate the rights of one man, or two men, it dare violate tbe rights of all, and turn usurper on a grind scale. Tbe community generally are indignant at the "belter skelter'" mail delivery in the J uniata Valley. Once tbey learn definitely who are tbe real authors of it, whether corpora lion, contractors, or Post Office Department at Washington, there will be a wither ng condemnation burled at the authors of it. Reduction of Wages on The Pennsylvania Railroad. The HarrLiburg Telegraph, says. It is due to this great corporation to say tbat the reduction of wages an nounced by the recent circular issued by Thos. A. Scott, president, ia an effect of causes which have no relation whatever with tbe internal manage ment of the road. The continued pressure of tbe shrinkage of values, tbe cessation o! work in tbe mining and manufacturing regions, tbe falling off of merchandise, and the reduced consumption felt in all parts of the country, have affected car ryiDg companies' receipts more serious ly than those of any other combination, fcr the reason that tbe perjoDel and real property required to eonduct such operations involve an amount of capi tal second only to tbat wbicb is uteri to carry on tbe government, State and National. Of all the roads in the country, the Pennsylvania bas been the most libe ral and paternal toward its employees of all grades. This company has never had a difiL-ulty with its manuel labor cilice its existence, while tbe employ ees of other companies have bad angry disputes and destructive collisions with theirs, causing great loss to the atockh ilders and immense expense t the State, by way of military inter ference before tbey wore ended. This company since its existence, has never been compelled to ask tbe authorities 10 interfere between it and its employees, and bas not, to ,oor knowledge had a strike along its line. This is the proper time to ad duce such facto, tbat tbe employees may be reminded of the pkst, when the condition of tbe business of tbe com pany ju.-tificd a liberal reward for all services, ao tbat they may understand tbat the present reduction is tbe effect of counter influence?, growing out of conditions in busiuess diametrically diffcreLt from those of ordinary pros reiity. Those who know Col. Seott, and articularly tbe railroaders who have been connected with biin for years, will understand how long he bas wait ed, and bow reluctant be luust bave been to recommend a reduction of this kind. He was forced to it by pressures to wbicb men less sympathetic with the judnstry with which he has been asso ciated for years, would bave yielded long since. lie only gave way after every test had been tried, after tbe regions whence freight it usually carried bad failed in tbeir production, maintaining bis road in the meantime, by eeonemy which did uot effect its labor, ao tbat when fhis reduction came, it was because every L'iness consideration made it necessary, ami no buman power could longer avert it, anu those who are di rectly affected by Col. cott's last cir cular, accept tbe ruling of inexorable financial eonditiou. Fresh Beef to Europe. Tbe American line steamer Ohio took out to Liverpool, on Saturday, 3200 quarters of fresh beef. Joined the Church. Frank Stringfellow, the confederate General J. E. B. Stuart's favorite Moot, bas entered tbe ministry in tbe Protectant Episcopal Cl.ureh. Yielded to Foro8, Within" tbe past Week Senator Mor ton bas published an article! on lbs po litical situation. In regard to tbe Siafe government of Louisiana and South Carol ina be aays : Tbey yielded to force. Tbey bave gone down before an armed minority whose threat of future violence were guaranteed by a long train of bloody deeds in the past. I regret tbat tbe real character of the transaction should be obscured in the least by pretended investigations or negotiations. Stripped of ail disguises and pretenses, tbe sim ple fact is that Packard and Chamber lain were not able to maintain them selves in authority, and the government of the L'uited States, in tbe exercise of its discretion, refused tbem its support. Then the legislatures, finding tbem selves defenceless, tell to pieces, and from tbeir ruins in part new legisla tures bave been constituted, whose legality consists only in tbe fact tbat there are none to oppose them." Making Amends. Under alave rule, Thomas Simms es caped from Georgia, and fled to Boston, Mass., and was taken from that city by tbe officers of tbe slave power, and again put into slavery. Attorney Gen eral Devens waa then a lawyer in Mas sachusetts, and was quite active in helping to return Simms. Now, under the new order, Devens turns np in tbe Cabinet of President Hayes, and tries to make amends by giving Simms an appointment as Messenger in tbe De partment of Justice. Startling Disclosures in Luzerne County. A depatch from Scranton, under date of the 27th inst, aays : The au ditors appointed by the County Court a year ago to make an audit of the Luzerne county finances for the past seven years, have finished their labors. It reveals a record of official dishon esty unparalleled in the previous his tory of the county, and shows how for seven years past the Commission ers, Treasurers, Sheriffs, Clerks and others have stolen, boldly, laf ge sums from the treasury. The thefts took all possible shapes, such s bogus contracts, changing records, altering figures, retaining taxes, etc. Posi tive proof was furnished by the au ditors of $50,000 stolen from time to time, but the full amount of tbe seven-year steal will doubtless reach $100,000. Some of the dishonest officials, including an ex-Treasurer, three County Commissioners, a Clerk and a former Auditor, have been al ready convicted and are now in prison. The people are determined to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to justice. Blowing tip a Turkish Monitor. A despatch from Europe, under date of last Sunday, the 27th, gives the following account of the blowing up of a Turkish monitor : It was one of the most daring deeds ever recorded. A small de tachment of Russian soldiers left the northern shore of the Danube in a number of small boats. The night being very dark they managed to surround the monitor before being discovered. When finally observed by the sentries on board, they were challenged. The major replied in Turkish : "Friends." The Turks, not satisfied, commenced firing in the direction of 3Iatchin, not know ing where the boats came from. The shots flew wide. During the firing several Russian soldiers plunged into the water, swam silently to the vessel, and placed the torpedo in close con tact with her bottom. After it had been securely fastened the men re turned to the neighboring shore. The monitor was blown into the air and all on board perished. Assassination of James Laws, a Colored Republican, by the Bull-Dose rs. New Orleans, May 23. The Re publican gives the following account of the assassination of James Laws, colored, of East Feliciana : " Mr. Dula, of East Feliciana, has reached New Orleans, and brought with him the coffin that was placed at bis door on Saturday, and a bunch of Win chester rifle cartridges which were placed with it. He also states tbat the crowd of bull-dosers, after threatening him, went on, with tbe information that they would return soon and put their threats into execution. They proceeded to Jackson, and rode np to the house of James Laws, (color ed), and found him seated in his gal lery with his mother. They said. "Ha, hello, Laws, have yon got back!" He arose and answered them, and was instantly shot dead. This was on Saturday night. In reference to the assassination of Laws, ex-Governor Packard states that just before his return to East Feliciana, Laws wrote to him, stating that on account of his presiding at the only Republican meeting held in East Feliciana during the Lite cam paign, and bis consequent enforced absence from the parisli, his business as a merchant, he feared, had been destroyed, and begging Packard's in fluence to get him a position in the cw'om house. Packard further Bays that Laws had told him his life was in danger, as he had testified before the Howe Senate Committee, giving the names of prominent citizens who had threat ened his life, and, as he believed, has caused his store to be fired. Pack ard further asserts that Laws was one of the best and most conserva tive colored men of the whole of the Feliciana district. Bit her Nose Off.

But the day of reckoning came at last, aud although "the mills of the gods grind slow, tbey grind exoeedicg small," as tbebe red handed asstas.ns bave in tbe end dis covered.

In addition to tbe nine "Mollie Maguirta," Andrew Lan aban will also be executed on tbe same day, making ten parsons who will on that occasion expiate tbeir crimes. Never before bas there been in any State in tbe Union so many murderers under sentence of death aa there are in Pennsylvania today. Tbe fate of these wretched men ebnulj be a warning to tbeir associates, for there are uiauy men in the mining districts who are just as ready to imbrue their bands in buaao blood aa were tbey, and it is necessary tbat a terrible example should be set tbem, both foi the protection of tbe community, of property and tor the vin dication of justice. A Preacher With Too Many Wives. Tbe St. Louis Democrat of May 17, gives an account of a very unpleasant cbr b scandal there. Rev. Mr. West, Superintendent of tbe Congregational Cburcb in Missouri, came bere a few days ago and eommuoicatd the fact to certain brethren tbat be had received some damaging proofs about the past record of Rev.

He exhibited documents to show conclusively tbat Foster had five living wives, from none of whom be bad been divorced ; that be bad mar ried them to get tbeir money snd then dropped them ; that be bad led a wild and dissipated life, and bad used other aud equally improper means to beguile people ont of tbeir money. Foster was immediately confronted with these charges. He admitted that be had badTjobn 0. Tracy, ex presidcot, and James three wives, but claimed to have been divorced from tbem ; that be had led a dissolute life up to two years ago, when be was converted, and be argued that bo could cot be beld responsible for things he bad done before bis change of spirit. Tbe brethren decided promptly tbat be must resign, and promised tbat if be would do so quietly there would be no publicity.

Two Nimrods, of Auburn, N. Y., had a dispute about tbe ownership of a wild duck, at which tbey both fired as it was on ibe wing. A trial was bad before 'Squire Freese and a jury, dur ing which th duck was stripped of all its feathers, tbat tbe manner of tbe killing might be made tbe more appa rent. It was then evident tbat both charges of shot bad entered tbe fowl, but as the jury was unable to decide which struck first, or from wbicb gun it came tbey returned a verdict of " no cause for action."
