At the time we go to press, Friday, 11 o'clock, A. M., no news of any bal lots for nominees have reached us. The Harris burg PATRIOT in its mid night editorial, July 11, says: The convention in still in session at this hour, midnight, and the plat form as agreed on unanimously by the committee is under discussion. It is such a document as the represen tatives of the grand council of the democratic party ought to promul gate. It demands of the authorities those concessions to the people that the founders of the government were careful in reserve to them, and enu merates in unequivocal language the doctrines that will assure the great est good to the greatest number. It will be adopted in the end though the discussion may be protracted several hours. There is no noticeable change in the atitude of the candidates. Cleve land, Bayard, Randall and the oth ers hold their relative places, though Judge Thurman's strength has been increasing. The end cannot be con jectured but there is no doubt that the issue will be satisfactory. Supplements contain ing the portraits of the presidential candidates, a full account of the pro ceedings, together with Speeches, the platform, and a concise account of the candidates, will be is sued from this office im mediately after the con vention. BLAINE entered congress as a poor fellow and came out a rich man. At the beginning of the war lie was a strong and enthusiastic eliap of thirty years. But instead of shouldering a musket he preferred to make a pile of money by purveying. As General Banks once remarked of him. "Blaine always thought more of money than ot the Union." THE •temperance people held their national convention in Chicago, made their platform, and nominated senator Samuel C. Pomoroy for president and John A. Conant for vice president. CONGRESS closed its presemt session of seven months and five days, last J/bndav at two o'clock. Its last work was the reduction of appropriations by S2O, 589. 99, which is so much saved to the tax-payers. And it should not be forgotten, that it was a democratic congress, that accomplish ed the creditable work. THE United States senate in passing over the trade dollar bill, shows how much they care tor the interests of thousands of business men, who took the trade dollars at fuil value and arc now compelled to sell them at a great loss. BLAINE has two brothers' and eight distant relations enjoying govern ment offices. Logan has no less than fourteen of his kin in public service, among them one brother, live brothcr in-laws and a son-in-law. At present these two gentlemen are looking out for No. 1 and want to take the fattest place themselves, provided they get the chance. •THE President waited until the last day at which the I rill to restore Fitz- John Porter to the army would be come a law and then vetoed it. The House however passed the bill over the President's veto. But it is not likely that the Senate will. ——— - TIIE eleventh annual international picnic and agricultural exhibition of the Patrons of Husbandry of Pennsyl vania, Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware will be held at Williams' Groye,Cumberland county, Pa., beginning on Monday, August 25th and closing Saturday, August 30th.

Mingle, John ILSmith, D.L. Zerby, H. M. Swartz. Jacob Gephart, WASHINGTON LETTER. From onr Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7th, 1884. The power of Mr. Randall.as a leader was again tested in the House on Tues day when the republicans with 110 small number of democrats attempted to sub stitute thf minority for the majority report on the appropriations for fortiti cations and defences. The report of the minority was an amendment pro viding for the expenditure of some $3, 000,000 in a continuance of the misera ble jobbery we have already bad in the war vessels turned out by John Roach —a work that has cost us $5,000,000 or more, and for which there was never a more worthless appropriation of the people's money. Mr. Randall boldly took this bull by the horns, showing up the complicity of Chandler and others in the gigantic scheme to rob the Gov ernment, and demonstrating the folly of going 011 and repeating the failures that haye already cost us so much. The House, by a vote of 147 to 90 took Mr, Randall's views of the business and re jected Mr. Bill CI tndler's overtures. The American people seem to take it for granted that for the summer months at least, the President is justifled in ab dicating his power and leaying the Gov ernment to take care of itself. Of all the line of Presidents,from Washington down to the nineteenth, Grant was the first chief magistrate who had ever tak en a summer junketing. Mr. Lincoln in'the last summer of his life slept oc casionally out at the Soldier's Home, but in his four years'administration,lie never lefc Nor was it particularly because of (lie existence of war an d the supervision of military af fairs that detained him, because these duties could as well have been perform ed from any other headquarters, but Mr. Lincoln would not establish 'the precedent of leaving the Capital and the duties of his high position, simply bee arise of the climate ami its malari as accompaniments. Yet the Wash ington of to-day is infinitely more healthful than it. was thou, and the ae rology of the White House shows but two Presidential demises—that of Har rison who was killed, not by malaria but by the office-hunters, and that of Taylor who ate too heartily of ice cream that was tlayorcd with the same villain ous vanilla that afterward poisoned Mr. Buchanan and others at the National Hotel, and is now slaughtering the youth and hcautv of our land. PHONO. Death of Allan Pinkerton. A Brief Sketch of the Careor of tlio Groat Dotective arid Hia Agoncy. CHICAGO, July I.—Allan Pinkerton, the well-known detective, died this af ternoon. The illness which caused the death of Allan Pinkerton was an illness of long standing. Mr. Pinkerton, who was the son of a small tradesman,was born in Glasgow in 1819, married young and left immediately for the western hemisphere. He landed in Canada, where he and his wife endur ed many privations. He shortly mov ed tq the neighborhood of Dundee, 111., where he purchased a small farm. Pinkerton was twenty-eight years of age, and it was then that he made his first detective ventures. Horse thieves were on the rampage in those days and Allan, after having lx?on success ful in hunting down a rascal who had stolen one of the horses, was employ ed by neighbors until his reputation as a detective reached the adjoining counties. He gained a more wide spred reputation by hunting down forgers of cheeks of the Milwaukee Fire and Marine Insurance Company [now Mitchell's bank]. The mer chants of the country employed him to run down the other forgers. He was then invited to Chicago and was made deputy sheriff of Cook county in 1849. and in the same year Pinker ton received the appointment as spec ial agent of the treasury under Secre tary Guthrie. In this,and also in the position of mail agent, he distinguish ed himself by numerous brilliant pieces of detective work. The feat which gave him a national reputation was to conduct Abraham Lincoln safe ly through Baltimore to the inaugu ration in Washington. During the war Pinkerton entered the secret ser vice of the government, and was the trusted agent of Lincoln. Stanton, Mc Clellan, Halleck, McDowell, Sherman and Grant. The first established a gencv was begun in Chicago in 1853. Beginning with a handful of trusted employes, Pinkerton steadily increas ed his business until there are now "Pinkerton Agencies" in the principal cities of the Union, employing thous ands of men and women in every state of the Union. The various agencies at present employ about 200 first-class detectives, men and wo men, whose pay ranges from $5 a day to $5,000 per year. The exposures of the Mollie Maguire gang, the arrest and conviction of Augustus Stuart Byron and of a young man claiming to be a nephew of Admiral Napier, and other achievements arc well known and have served to stamp with unquestioned reputation and ability the great detective and his well con ducted agency. —We daily read of defaulting clerks and Cashiers, of murder and robbery,of human beings sinking into paupers' and drunkards' graves. This is the dark side of humanity. The devil has his revivals and harvests as well as the good Being. It makes the heart of man sad to behold this picture of -evil and darkness, and doubly so to see many under the same baleful influen ces,and on the same downward course. However, it is cheerful to look on the bright side, to behold the thousands of honest clerks, honest cashiers* the thousands who do not murder and rob, the thousands who do not occupy dis honored graves, and the millions who beloncr to the christian church. This is the good Being's revival. Has It ev er entered into the heart of man why so many are on the dark side of life ? If such men's history weFe known, the cause of their downfall in ninety-nine caces out of every hundred, could be traced to their Youth. There was their proper training neglected, associations were formed which w?re bad, perhaps the first cent stolen, the first drink taken, parents careless and not chiding them properly, and giving license to do almost as they please ; and when character is gone, honor lost, the system a wreck mentally and physically, the error of parents is seen, but too late.— Ex. Four Children Burned, to Death. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 30.—A special fromYoungstown, Ohio, says: Brier Hill, a suburb of this city, was the scene last night of a horrible affair. Four children of Mrs. Ann jl/urphy re tired to bed about nine o'clock, mid ;i --boul eleven o'clock smoke and flames, were discovered issuing from their lied room window. Neighbors came to tho rescue and soon put out the flro, but not before three of the children, boys aged respectively live, seven and nine years were so badly burned that the flesh peeled off their bones and they died wil Inn an hour. The fourth and eldest child jufnped from the second story window and escaped with slight burns. Mr. Murphy says that there was no lire or light in the room. It is supposed that an Italian neighbor play fully threw a lighted stump of a cigar in at the children when retiring. — J JAY Tn KM AWAY.
