Both political parties ia Ohio have held their state conventions, con structed their platforms and nomi nated their candidates, and our Buckeye neighbors will soon find themselves engaged in a warm, sharply contested political battle. The. Democrats nominated It. .M Bishop, a prominent merchant of Cincinnati, for Governor —a gent le mur. fresh from the ranks of th e people, not heretofore a politician, but possessing the elements of popu larity as a candidate. It is thought that Mr. Bishop can easily carry Ilamiltcn county, which includes Cincinnati, and this would give the Democrats a majority in the Legis lature and secure a Democratic U. S. Senator in place of the wily Mat thews. The Republican head their ticket with Judge West, a very competent man personally, but altogether inad equate to harmonize the bitterness of faction that now divides the Rad icals of the Buckeye state. We-will take occasion to refer to the platform of the two parties here after. . The prospects are most cheering for the Democrats. On this point, says the Philadelphia Time*, which is as good authority as any one neeu care to have: Looking over th* whole field and the varied complication which threalciicil the party in Ohio, *i- presume the Conven tion could neit have done mneli hotter titan it dlil. excepting only its low a*rari im tom-foolery. nut when it is considered tliHt many Republicans have convictions of their own and their own way of express ing t hem, it is not a diftienlt calculation to reach an assured Democratic victory In both State oflices and I.etrislature. A Ke puhlie&n victory is possible, but so is the sinking of Ohio by an earthquake, and one is about as probable as the other.*' The Republicans in the United Ftates Senate thought they could manufacture a ease of fraud against the election of Senator Grover, of Oregon; but now, after the useless l'uss of sat expensive investigation, withhold Motton at the head is over, even that old sinner himself confess es that there is nothing in it. Wait, the Democrats are going to have .a majority in the Senate one of these fine days, and tlieu there will be some "investigating** that will make the fur fiv in quarters least expect ed. If Republicans are itching to in vestigate real cases of election frauds we suggest that they liegin with that of Mr. llayes. If they desire to do any good to the country, that Jit tie case would afford them a fruitful field for usefuluese. Wl\Ot Theraihroad riots—for the recent dis turbance can hardly be dignified bv the name of strikes—hiive about spent "their fury. The Luzerne coal region is just now witnessing the last expiring throes of mob violence, that but a few days ego fill *ed the pnblic mind with the most serious apprehensions. Lew and order will as sert itself. the business end traffic of the country will again flow tkroagil its ncr-us tomed channels, jnst the same as before the riots. And now comes the question: What good ? Who lias been benefited? Xo one. Absolutely no person or class of person*, anil .least of all the rioters. Immense damages have been inflicted on rail road campanies. nd In some instances on pri vate property, trade and travel have been seriously interrupted. many lives lost In the vain attempt to subvert law and onlerand substitute moh rule instead, flat tlw damages will have to be paid 1 y the aospectlve cities and counties in which tbey occured. the state wiil toot the bill of military expenses, and the rioters will pet their punishment swift and sure. Tliey have sowed the storm and will reap the whirl-wind. They will have ample lei sure in jails and penetentiaries to repent of their follies and crimes. Thus will it ever be. Xo wrongs, wheth er real or imaginary. can ever le righted _ by a resort to moh rule and anarchy. evil-doers heed the dreadful lesson. ■ ♦ -*• IT READING. Little did we think when we left home the other week, in the happi est possible mood, that we should be compelled to witness scenes of riot, arson aiul bloodshed, such as hap pened at Reading, during our stajf there. YVe came to Reading on "Wednesday evening, Juiy 18th, and stayed until Thursday morning the 26th. There were 110 signs of any disturbance noticable until Saturday aiternoon, wnen it became manifest ed that there was a storm brewing, from the unrest and agitation that was visible 011 all sides. On Satur day night the mob began its coward ly work by the burning of cars, ca booses and by the misplacing and fastening of switches, all near the line new depot of the Reading com- Eany. At midnight the substantial ridge of the Lebanon Valley Road, spanmg the Schuylkill about a mile from the city proper, was jired by the mob, and in a few hours the beautiful structure, fell with a crash into the water, seventy feet below. "We are burning down everything," was the answer received by some citizens, who asked some roughs, passing by, what was going on. Monday, following the burning of the bridge was a fearful day for Reading. Hundreds of roughs, not only from Reading but from the eoal regions above, were in the city. The streets swarmed with the dregs and scum of humanity from all the region around. At Seventh and Penn, where the R. 11. crosses the principle street of the city, tliere was a mob of at least several thousand all the time. The track was torn up and blockaded in and below the city, so that 110 trains could pass. Everybody feared that duringthe night the splendid new depot, the large machine shops and ether property of the Reading com pany, would fall a prey to the torch ofjtl lie indendiary, and that a general attack 011 stores and private property would follow. Just as night had settled on the agitated city the 16th Regiment N. G. of Pa., which had arrived very quietly from Allentown, marched in to the city on 7th or R. R. Street, from the new depot. }toone seems to have been aware of their presence until they entered the deep cut at 7th and Walnut streets. This cut is abowt a square and a half long and of an average depth of over twenty feet, with houses and sidewalks over head. These sidewalks ' were filled with rioters, boys and women, and through this "trap*'the military was marched teclear (lio track further down, at 7th stud lVnn. No sooner were the soldiers fairly in the out than the bovs and women on the sidewalks above began pelting them with bricks, and it was said, fired into them with pistols. The poor fellows below had not the slightest chance either for defense or escape. Foju'teen ot their nuni ber were wounded bv brickbats, more or less severely, before tired a shot. Driven to desperation they at last fired volley after volley into the dense mass of humanity ahead of them, at 7th and LVnn. They ad vanced to Penn and firod several volleys up and down that street. The wildest consternation and eon fusion followed the firing- Men, women and children ran for their lives. Ten persons, including some valued citizens of Reading, were shot dead outrigM, while some thir ty were wounded, some of whom have since died. The killed and wounded were mostly persons who had nothing to do with the riots at all, and whose only offense was that tliey were in the crowd. A Mr. Laiiglott, aged alioiit sixty years with whom we sang from the same hymn-book in church, the day prior, was fatallv wounded, but still lived when we left. Opinions differ very much as to the justification of the military in fir ing into a mixed crowd without no tice, and, it was s:*ill. without or ders from their ollieers; but it is agreed on all hands that it was a criminal blunder to march them through the "cut" instead of an open street. It remains to be settled up on whom the responsibility herein rests. We venture the general opin ion that if the citizens of Reading had in time organized an effective citizens' defense, as did those of Harrisburg, instead of sympathizing with the mob, the destruction of valuable property and the loss of precious lives might have been avert ed. Ol'R TRIP. WEDNESDAY, July Ist li, we left home on a visit east, having arrang ed our business and labors in such a way as to give us leave of absence for a few weeks. The route from here, to Ilsirrisburg is so familiar to most of our readers that we deem a description of it hero superfluous. Yet, who will question that the scenery from Lewisburg south is very romantic and enchant ing I s FoKowing the broad and plac id Susquehanna, you have one of the tinest streams in the country in full view all the time. The hilly shores with its tine woodlands and neat towns enehance the beauty of the panorama** you pass swiftly by. At Harrisburg we had a few spare hours which we improved by seeing what is to be seen 011 Capitol Ilill and in the public buildings. Our old friend. Maj. Forster, showed through the sever.il departments, the State Library. Flag Room, etc. The flag of the 14s 1\ V.. I'ke the brave men over whom it floated for .three long yea is of bloody warfare, has seen much hard service. A few shreds is aiS that is left of the proud emblem. There is much to lie seen at Ilar r'isburg, of interest to one of a stu dious turn of mind. Quaint old do cuments. war trophies and relies in numerable, are here preserved. A few days, instead of a few hours, could be spent here not only pleas antly, but profitably ; but our time was limited, we had to leave, llid ding our kind guide, the Maj. adieu, we sped on to Humraelstown, ten miles below Ilarrisburg.on the la?b -anon Vallev road. This is one of the many antiquated, slow and sure Pennsylvania German towns, with which tl* eastern part of the olu Keystone is literally dotted. The west end of the town, which is touch ed by the rail road, is becoming mo- < deniized in its buildings and in its general appearance. In brisk times Ilummelstown does a good business in Brown Stone, of which there seems to be an inexhaustable quan tity about a mile from town. Many of the finest churches, public build ings and palatial residences in Penn sylvania, were one day buried in the hills just back of Ilummelstown. From Huinmebtowii to Reading you pass through one of the finest agricultural sections in Pennsylva nia, if not in the United States. There is an air of neatness and order prevailing that challenges the admi ration of the traveler. Xo stumps, stoneheaps, brush or rubbish are suffered to encumber the ground or offend tneeye. Jn passing through the far-famed Lebanon Vallev it is indeed difficult to realize that there is absolute want and starvation in the country. "We pass Anrville, Palmyra, Leb anon, Myerstown, Womelsdorf and Sinking Springs in rapid succession and come to Reading, and here we stop. Who could pass the beautiful city 011 the romantic Schuvlkill, though a stranger 111 the place ? To us Reading is doubly dear, for in and around it cluster many of our earliest and most sacred recollec tions. Reading is a great rail road and manufacturing centre, and in line public buildings, splendid churches and elegant private resid ences, is far in advance of any city approaching it in population, in Pennsylvania. Reading has most delightful surroundings. The Scliuvl kill with its miniature steamers; the Charles Evans Cemetery; the Water Works, and Mineral Springs, are all places where one will fondly dwell. Esiteci&ilv did we fall in love with the Mineral Springs, a cool, shady retreat behind Term's Mountain, so quiet and retired, so plain and rust ic, and yet so beautiful, that we im agined ourself among the lesser Alps 01 Switzerland. We left the lovely spot with regret. Readings good peo ple are hospitable and social as you seldom find them anywhere. It has a large European German element, and so it could not well lie other wise. It is said too, that the excell ent quality and exhaustless quantity ol her beer, together with the large size of her pretzels, have a sort of magical effect in fostering a genial fellow —feeling between neighbors and friends. On tins point, how ever, we cannot vouch, but whoever is unwilling to credit our hearsay evidence, liad better go and see for himself. From Reading we went to York, where we had not been for twenty five years. York is a large town, rather than a city, very wealthy, it seems to us, but not very enterpris ing. The Pennsylvania German ele ment largely predominates, and the good Yorkers make up in substance what they lack in outward show. We could fraternize with the people of York very well and felt quite at home there, and will gratefully re member the many kindnesses receiv ed. York is noted for its excellent market and line churches, prominent among which latter is that of Dr. (lOltwald, so well and favorably known to most of our readers. From York we went to Hannover, where we remained but one hour, and did not go out. East Berlin, Adams comity, was the next and last place visited, where we stayed until Monday, the 30th 1i1t.., but re gretted very much that we could not stay longer. Berlin is a small hut neat town, thirteen miles west from York in a direct lino, situated on the Conewago creek, which is the county lino between Adams and York. What struck us so favorably of Berlin is the neatness and order eve rywhere prevalent. No very showy houses, but very fine yards, good sidewalks and shade trees through out. The sumo may be said of a mim IKM - of small towns which we visited but did not mention in our account-. Any town the size of Millheim, or even .less, in eastern Poniisylvan ia, would IHI ashamed not to have good sidewalks and shade trees, and we very much wish the same feeling prevailed here. Wo enjoyed our trip very much, with tie single offset of the sad ex perience and thoughts occasioned by the rail road riots, as the first vio lent outeroppings of Communism in the United States. Two Venerable lien. Durinqour recent trip vast wo took oc casion to \ i-it two venerable men, w Itoiu we had not neon for many years, and tor both of whom we feel a veuemliou that will last as long as life itself. The first one—Walker sw-plieu—was our first teacher, in Womelsdorf lierks Co.. l'a., wltieb is our native home, and where tho first ten years of our life was spent. He now stays with Ills son. l)r. John Me plum, at C'.ilvindule Farm,iue five miles from Womelsdorf, is ninofv two years of axe, hale and hearty, in full possession of Ids mental faculties, and reads the finest new spa JHM- print without the aid of glasses. We spent several very pleasant hours with the x<x>d old ntun and left hint with reluctance. Ilis parting admonitions, given in a profusion of tears, were so kind and tender that we shall never forget them while we live. May bis end he eulm and peaceful, as his life was lonif and use ful. Ills memory w ill !*• precious to ban tired a of his former pupils. Walker Stepli&n was born at ltephoe, Ireland. Aug.

Mr. Stephen retired from active life only about ten years itgo, and now divides bis time between reading, meditation and prayer, calmly awaiting to be called to his eternal home. In religion Mr. Stephen is a Presbyte rian, in Polities an early nud rigid Aboli tion ltd, having east the only vote polled in Berks Co.. in lSto. for James G.

REBERSBURG FRAGMENT?. Our people, by all appearances, are going to the picnic on the 15th, so that there will be no one left to take care of the children. Our Band is doing right well again since it re-organized. It was attend ing a picnic at Madisonbtng on Sat urday, and exieets going to Lewis burg on the I~>MI. The Brush Valley Camp-meeting will commence 011 Thursday Aug. 23rd, when a general good turn out is exacted. Notwithstanding the hard times, some of our folks prefer to lead a married life, as was shown again on Sunday evening by W. S. Miller, who was married to Miss Clemen tine Leitzell, both of this place. James P. Frank raised oats that measures six feet long, which fares pretty well. Marshal Hull is building a new house at east end of Rcbersburg. ANON*. LfT E8 ALL GO ! Yes, just so—let lis all go to the Grand Harvest Home llenic, 011 the loth. We owe it to our neighbors of Union county to go in force. It will be but returning the 4tl of July compliment which they gave us; for who does not remember with idea sure how they emerged from that long train of thirteen ears, like i*ces from a hive, on that memorable day. Let us all go. Who will regret spending a few dimes for recreation and pleasure? As a people we have too little inno cent pleasures and social enjoyments. We are not placed upon earth merely to lalxir, eat and sleep. Pro vidence intends that we shall enjoy the gilts which He lias so lavishly bestowed upon us as a nation, and it is not only a privilege but a duty to do so, provided "all things be done decently and in order." Let us all go. The people of Penns and Brush Yalleys have great reason to he thankful to a kind Father in Heav en for a bounteous harvest, for the entire absence of epedemics, and for many blessings which other fellow mortals in many localities through out the country and state, must fore fo. The true object of a Harvest iome is to return thanks to the great Giver of all good for tl>e many mercies we daily receive from His bountiful store.

We could get no positive informa tion tis yet when trains will begin to run regularly. The general opinion is that it will Ive from and after the loth, the day of the Grand Harvest Home Picnic, near Lewisbnrg. Since the übove is in t;/}tc t re were reliably informed th il truins will be gin to run regularly by the end of this ir.ctk. It is thought that the suspension of the IyX*k Haven National Rink will be hut temporary, and that de positors will get all that is due them, dollar for dollar. We anxiously hope the prediction may be verified. The business interests of Lock Ha ven have suffered severely for sever al years past, and to have their best bank go under at this time would be a severe stroke indeed.
