racy. We make the following extracts from a leader
in the Bloomsburg Columbian of a late date:
If a single discharge from the battery of
Senator Morton has frightened the nervous por
tion of the Democratic leaders and sent them
panic-etricken from their strongest entrench
ments, what may we not look for hereafter so
far as these child-like warriors are concerned?
The panic-etricken and nimble-footed gentry
of the Age and Patriot of Washington and Har
rieburg, and the freebootlng World, will volun
tarily or otherwise return to their allegiance
when they learn, as assuredly they will, that
there is no retreat except into the ranks of the
enemy. The rank and file of the party is a nnit
on the question of negro suffrage and consequent,
eqnality, and will never brook the attempt to
back the party down from its high and noble
position of eternal opposition to the debasement
of the Government by voluntarily sharing it
with degraded races.
Jeff. Davis and his frlehds tell the people of
the South that negro suffrage may be tolerated
there because it will keep them peaceable, that
they will in a very short time generally vote
with their old masters, who alone appreciate
their true character sufficiently to permanently
influence their action, and that the negro, at all
events is as fit to vote as the Yankee! Mr. Lew
Caesiday backs up his retreating friends by
declaring that the negro vote elected Colonel
Dechert and gave to the Democracy the victory
in the First Senatorial district, so important to
the party and the country in its results. That the
negroes wiil eventually vote with the party that
is least aristocratic in its tendencies we
never doubted, and it may be a consoling re
flection to eotjpe people that, like all others,
they will be altogether likely to vote with those
with whom tbey are most Intimate and bear the
closest personal relation. But all that is begging
the question. The principle is that this is a
white man's government, made by white men
for white men and their posterity forever! Shall
white men submit to have it mongrelized? Shall
we tamely and forever submit to the fraud by
which this debasing result was temporarily ac-.
complished? We say resist it.
By some surprising means a small majority
was obtained in our late State Convention, and
in that of Ohio, to endorse this suicidal and dis
graceful policy. The subject was studiously
kept from the people, and a majority of our
Representatives were suddenly transformed into
dictators. In this those Representatives were
as much above their business as the Dutchman's
ram that jumped out of the field from the sheep
into that of the neat cattle, and the action in the
two cases was about equally appropriate.
We warn the men engaged in this business
not to attempt to clog the candidates with this
fatal platform. Destruction will follow if
they do.

deadly wind than the one christened the "New
Departure." It is a new departure in
Democrats from all the records of the
party as to constitutional law. It is the extreme
of stultification; the essence of a want of proper

the National Convention, a craven hope and
faith in our cause and country, at war with all
our protessions tnat man is capable oi sen-

people. It will be found on trial weak and
rickety, with no backbone even of policy.

It may well be supposed that it was from
sinister design that those various preparations
of which we have heard arose mines in the
sewers, wires intended for their ignition by
means of electric batteries placed at Montmartre.
But there was never anything serious about
these preparations. If any quantity of ex
plosive materials has been found in the
sewers, the batteries intended to ignite them
have never been in a condition to do so. It was
the same with those famous mines which were
to be placed in front of the barricades. Not one
ot the mines was exploded: they never bad ex
istence, save in the columns of the Communallst
Journal Offldtl, where they appeared as a
menace to produce hesitation among the sol
diers, and to i mask the real designs of the
Commune, Petroleum was the real instru
ment which it had determined to em
ploy. Jtven Deiore the last moments
of its agony, tne Commune had taken its mea
sures to effect its object. It had taken forcible
possession of all inflammable oils, and especially
petroleum. In the laet few days of the struggle
the committee oi ruonc oaiety was evervthioer.
the Commune was nothing. The Committee of
Public Safety bad completely abandoned the
milltarv arrangements to tne "Central Commit-
tee of the Federation of the Rational Guard,"
and reserved to itself the incendiary arrange

connected, and Delescluze stood between them
as a sort ot dictator.

A document which was found upon him after

This document Is signed by the members of
the Committee of Public Safety, at the head of
whom stands the name of Delefctuza. Thus
there was a band of fuseens organized in the
dark, and of whom no mention was ever made
by the Journal Officiel, to whom was intrusted
the burning of Purls, and who doubtless had
long stndied tbeir field of action. Some indis
cretions caused this plan to become known, but
no one would believe it. The fuseens, under
the direction of a scientific committee, com
posed of medical men and practical chemists,
proposed various contrivances, matches and
other means of producing explosion. Barrels of
powder and of petroleum were placed in the
monuments destined to destruction, and at the
points where incendiarism was Intended. It
must be observed that the chiefs who were
charged with carrying out these abominable
orders of the Committee of Public Safety were
to make arrangements in concert with the com-.
manders of barricades, who were under the
orders ot the Central Committee. "Blow up or
burn the houses which interfere with
your plan of defense," wrote De
lescluze and Blllioray to Dombrowskl,
in an order which has been found. "The
barricades ought not to be assailable from the
houses." Thus a rampart of burnt houses was to
be formed. The same citizens again wrote to
Van der llooven, commanding the barricade of
the Faubourg du Temple: "Thccitlzen delegate
commanding at the Barrack of the Chateau
d'Eau is requested to deliver to the bearer of
this present the barrels of mineral oil required
by the citizen the General-ln-Chlef of the barri
cades of the Faubourg du Temple." There was
between incendiarism and the defense a pre
viously established connection.

Cincinnati. June 17.
Editor of Cincinnati Times and Chronicle:
me startling announcement is last pouted on
your bulletin that at 9 o'clock this morning Cle
ment L Vallandigham died at Lebanon, Warren
county, OL io. That t-ls announcement will fall on
tne public mina witn an errect- that a similar an
nouncement in the case of the very fewest number
ot prominent men In this country would produce, Is
a iact Deyona dispute.
Of his past history in connection with the politics
of this State and the nation at large, it is perhaps
not necessary for me to speak, others better ac
quainted with the man, socially and politically, will
pay their tributes of regard or review to his
memory. Nevertheless, I am prompted by the
memory of a recent occasion, brought vividly to my
mind by the sad announcement of to-day, to put
into this shape some of the particulars of that which
was probably the last political interview that Mr.
Vallandigham had. . .
A week ago yesterday I received directions to go
to Lebanon to report the proceedings in the McGoUau
murder trial, men in progress tnere, in wnicn, as
the leading attorney for the defense, Mr. Valiandlg
nam was to piay a prominent part. The day or my
arrival there, at the noon recess of the court, I
songht and received at the hands of a friend an in
trodutlon to Mr. Vallandigham, whose acquaintance,
as counsel in the case I deemed it essential to the
performance of ray reportonal duties that I should
form. To say that he received me cordially is
to express but feebly the earnest assurance with
which I was -met that every facility in his power
should be a Horded me in my duties. I had never
met him personally before that time, but I am free
to admtt that all my personal feelings toward the
man had taken color from the Intense antagonism
to his political actions during the time of strife,
that had become, as It were, a part of my nature.
Neither was this antagonists feeling concealed en
tirely at this my first meeting witn tiira.
lie then expressed very plainly the opinion that
the conrse of your journal towttrda him had been
anything but mild, or of a nature to afford him
gratification. 1 could not conscientiously say any
thing to mouuy or alter nis views oi your course,
and candidly said so, even at the risk of losing (tome
professional advantages that I had hoped to gain by
his acquaintance. This course, however, Instead of
having tne enect i learea. naa quite me contrary
enect. ana seemea instantly to piace us on more
cordial terms, lie snooK my nana warmiy, as
sured me that this was the day of new depar
tures, and said : " Ask me for anythlug
in my power to give you and you shall
have it" Henceforth, and through the remainder
of my stay in Lebanon, my acquaintance with this
distinguished man continued to grow more intimate
aad personally friendly. To say that he grew upon
nte, and developed most attractive points of per
sonal character, sucn as i never Deiore aeemea mm
the possessor of, is to express in the very mildest
form my estimate of him, and the real pleasure that
1 round in tne enjoyment oi nis society, on several
occasions he invited me to accompany him on his
walks to and fro between the court-house and the
hotel, and at other times we sat together in the in
tervals of recess, talking over the events of the trial
and other matters of mutual interest.
One of these talks is now brought to mind with
the vividness of sunlight. It took place lost Wed
nesday morning. McGehan's counsel had been to
gether In conference oulte late the Drecedlnir nlirht.
and In consequence Mr. Vallandigham came from
ins room mat morning a mue later man usual.
Meeting him near the head of the staircase, he
asked the hour, remarked that he was late to oreak-
fast, and said : "Come to the dining-room while I
take breakfast. I want to talk to you."
(Such an invitation of course l could not decline.
and now am more than ever gratified that 1 did not
decline. That morning he was feeling very well.
The consultation of the night before had satisfied
him that the case of bis client looked well, and the
fact seemed to lift a bnrden of rare from his mind,
and allowed him freedom to think and taik of other
matters.
After a little inquiry as to the probable length or
the trial, his general ideas of tne case, and some in
quiries from Mr. Vallandigham about personal
menus in this city, I said :
"Mr. Vallandigham, what Is your opinion about
the alleged difficulty with the tally sheets at your
convention?"
He said : "I am not fully advised about that mat
ter, but when our committee meets on the 81st, at
Columbus. I shall favor a close examination into it.
and if there is any mistake it must be rectified. It
looks to me irom tne ugures row given as u mere
was a marked discrepancy that needs explanation.
This naturally led to other talk about politics. I
said, "Well, how much do you think your party will
h. Vinton In tho novt tllal. canvmi'l" H an til iW
shall not be beaten at all, especially if you show auy
signs ef discord at your State Convention, or make
a ticket out or weak material."
At this I laughed, when lie snook nis head and
said, "Oh 1 you needn't laugh. I am In earnest about
what I say."
But.' said l, "now about tuose malcontents in
the Northwest?"
He thought that they could be brought into line
and made to behave themselves. "But," said be
am! here he warmed to his subject "this is not a
Question ol immediate Buouesset. The question is.
which or the great parties or this country is to be
the party or progress, tne party or advanced ideas?
There can be no more political campaigns fought on
the issues of the last few years. They are dead.
And ir the Democratic party refuses to move to the
front, to accept the new order or things, it will
cass awav. and some other party, made up or the
eamest,progresslve elements or both the old parties,
will take possession of the Government."
i tnnuiri '-Don't vou think that the campaign
of 1 will be fought on the present issues?" lie
said: "That may be undertaken by our party,
but it will rail. A year ago Grant gave pro
mise or bis Intention to lead the Republican
nartv into a new departure, and ue would nave

about defeat until be went square back into the
old nets. Grant is an honest man, and would do
right ir the politicians would let him; but that
they won't do. He took the back track on the San
Domingo question, in which, apart from the corrupt
mPAna used, he was clearly light. 1 tell you, sir. an-

the American people. We shall nave Ban Domingo,

We missed the greatest chance we ever had In not

have bad it then for the mere asking, and
in a rew yeara we would have been owners or the
richest and most productive niece or territory In the
world. Why, they used to talk about me and call
m a riiHnnlonlat. I tell vou. sir. earnestly and hon-
estly, that I never was a dlsunlonist; that I always
did believe and now believe that this Union will be

uie naireo mat is exniimed toward you iy toe aeaa
tssue Democracy, 1 don't see how it is that yon cm

and said : "Why, what can I do ? The Republican
party won't move forward. It wants to stick to its
old clothes, and my best hope Is to get the Democ
racy to push to the front. However, there is no
telling what three hunnred and sixty-live dafs may

convictions decide to act with any other political

Those who read mv construe this expression as
they please. 1 write it almost verbatim as he spoke

me that he meant all that he said. The nine senti

talk was about the case of McQehan, which, as
the day of the closing argument approached,
seemed completely to occupy his mind and
engross his attention. He was, as I wrote you In
one of my letters, preparing for the great legal
effort of his lire. That. In his zeal to prepare for
that effort he sacrificed his life, stands to-day as the
best evidence or the truth of what I have stated.

mine.
THE METHODIST COOK CONCERN.
Progress of the Investigation Testimony
oi ur. Xiananan.
At the trial yesterday. In New Fork, Dr. Lana
han was called, and, after an animated debate
between the counsel on both sides, testified as
follows:
I received notice of the suit Instigated
against me by Mr. Goodenough, about January
li, 187U, ana tola ur. uariton i wisnea to ex
amine sundry books of the Concern; he asked
me why I desired the books; I said, 'You are
probably aware thai I have been sued by Mr.
Goodenougb;' he replied that he was cognizant
of the fact, and I then informed him
that I wanted access to the books, in
order to prepare my defense in that
suit; he refused my application, and I
then asked him to state the reasons for his ac
tion; he replied that the Book Committee had
authorized no investigation of the books;
X suggested tnat the order oi tue committee
related simply to themselves and the sub-com
mittee. Dr. Carlton claimed tnat it related to
all examinations of the books, and added, 'There
shall be no further examination made;' in reply
to a question as to how far back the examination
would extend. I said from the time Mr. Good
enough came into the concern as Superintend
ent ot the Printing department; ne expressed
surprise and intimated that many papers
bad probably been lost; I told him that
fact would be ascertained during the pro
gress of investigation; he quoted the resolu
tion oi the Hook, committee ana sun refused
my request; I said that the Book Committee
had no authority to refuse me an examination,
and had never undertaken to do so; he insisted
tiat their resolution covered my case; X re
marked that It seemed strange to oppose my
efforts to prepare a defense in the libel suit in a
civil court, and added x will make no turtner
fuss in the matter, and if the refusal was per
sisted in, would appeal to a court for an order
for the books, that X might make sufficient
E reparation to meet the Goodenough suit;
e then said any book ' needed might
be taken into court. I replied that
such action would be useless, and he
then asked me what I expected to
prove from the books; X replied that 1 did not
feel disposed to answer his Question, in view of
his intimate relations with Mr. Goodenough; I
had several conversations with my counsel, Mr.
Yanderpoel, and he informed me that certain
books would be needed from time to time, and
said that I hud a right to them on legal and all
other grounds; about October 1st Mr. Vander-
Eoel advised me to employ an accountant, ana
ring him with me to the Book Concern,
and in his presence introduce him to Dr.
Carlton; I brought a Mr. Watson for this pur
pose, and presented him to the chief agent as a
gentleman x naa engagea to examine tne
books; Dr. Carlton refused his permission, and
repeated his former statements; I again referred
him to the fact of the civil suit against me, and
the necessity existing lor a tree access to the
books: I told him be was not justified in his re
fusal, and said I would not resort to anything
but a regular process to obtain tne books; x re
ported this to Mr. Yanderpoel, and about a
week afterwards returned with some gentlemen
to Dr. Carlton's office, and renewed my applica
tion for access to the books; be again refused;
this action was taken nnder advice oi my coua
spl . fi a nrpnar&tnrv to tiroceedlnp-a for a man
damus in court: 1 wished to wait until the
Book Committee met before I pressed this mat
ter." '

Testimony The Case Involned in Mys
tery.
1 he New York World to-day says:
W hen it became generally known that the dead
man was never the drunkard and brute he had been
represented to be during the brief time since the
murder and Buicide, ana mat some secret motive
must have incited him to commit the dreadful deed.
the whole brutal aflair was dlsqussed with renewed
interest throuehout the city. What could his
motive have been ? What secret trouble has
been gnawing! away at the man s heart? What is
the nature or the woman, and why had she been
separated from ;him an day, ne amusing tne chil
dren in oae room, and she sitting! a the front parlor
on the floor below, giving orders to the servant to
let tne man wait on mmseii 7 ii ne was aruns, sue
bad risked the children in bis company all day. But
the man was not Intoxicated. The drunkard mar
murder bis onsprlng in a nt of delirium, but
will not cut his own throat. The facta - also
show that the man was perfectly sane, or he
could not have done bis work with so much
system, if he had determined to murder nis chil
dren In the midst or a mad at. he would have dashed
out their brains with the first thing he could lay his
hands to. instead or doing this he ceuoerateiy ob
tained possession or the carving knife, got both the
children in the room with himself, undressed him
self and them alter locking the doors, ana then laid
them out on the bed and used the knife, with all the
skill of a man having a thorough knowledge of
surgery.

stairs, and I took her down stairs; at abeut 1
o'clock the doctor's bell rang tor me again, and I

taking the baby with me: he then said that Agnes
wanted me ; I attended to her, and then the dinner
bell rang; I asked him if be wanted any dinner; be
told me to bring some up for him and the child ; 1
brought the dinner up, and be appeared to be very
much excited: be sal down and eat some, and I
left him eating: Mrs. Connolly told me to come
down and let mm auena to nimseir; i was down

and I told him; he told me to remain there; I
was called downstairs again and I went; he rang
the bell again, but IdlM notgo np; he came down
stalls ioanlrlng why I did not answer the bell, and I
told him the reason; he then went up stairs, but
soon after came down stairs and took the babe from
me and rushed upstairs; I followed them Instantly
np stairs, bnt found the doors closed and locked; I
came nown and told Mrs. Connolly; 1 went to his
door again and knocked and called, but got no
answer; we afterwards tried to open the door, but
could not succeed ; afterwards the police came and
forced open the door.
At this Jnnctnre of the proceedings Coroner
Keensn deemed it advlsabla to adjourn the further
Investigation.
The Herald says:
witnin tne scene was
BIMFLY INDESCRIBABLE.
The family. Judging from appearances, had been
thoroughly renewing the house. The carpets were
oir the floor and piled In the hall. The rich furni
ture lay carelessly about In the deserted rooms.
Awe-struck mends and relatives were talking over
the hideous tragedy in subdued whispers, while
others more Intimate probably, sat In some out-of-the-way
corners with their heads leaning on their
bands, utterly bowed down by the calamity which
naa lanen on me unrortunate iamuy. untneoeu,
literally saturated with blood, lay
TDK STARK NAKED B0PIES
of the unfortunate man and bis children. The
ghastly wounds on the throat of each bad been
sewed np, but the bodies were stained with the
clotted biood, which literally glued them to the bed
on which they lay. The hair, matted with blood,
stuck to tne Dedciotnes. There on tne breast or tne
man was a terrible hole be bad made with the
knife when endeavoring to reach his heart. Across
bis breast were three other silts, and across
his neck the fatal seam through which he drew the
knife when be round he had not pierced his heart.
The body or the child, which yesterday lay between
the legs or the other little one was moved, and the
India rubber ball, which was round floating In the
blood, end the carving-knife, were taken away,
otherwise the corpses were undisturbed. Mrs. Con
nolly herself was In
MOST PITIABLI PLIGHT.
She has undoubtedly lost her reason. When she
learned that the Coroner bad come she at once re
quested blm to order the policeman out, and said
that Captain Washburne was a brute. She then
said to Judge Qulnn, who was present, that she
knew all about It, and was the only person who
could tell the story, at the same time adding, "You
know what I want to di, Judge, snd I'll do it," the
meaning of wblch was probably, from her conduct,
that she wished to hide the fact that ber husband
was adrunkard. During the time that the Coroner
was in the nouse sne wandered about dressed snp
plshly, and raving all the time.
A SUBURBAN EARTHQUAKE.
Rollings and Rumblings Sunday Night
Shocks and .Shakes on Long Island,
Staten Island, and New Jersey.
From various accounts received yesterday in
this city it appears that about 10 o'clock on
Sunday riant there was leit tne enocK or an
earthquake on Long Island, Staten Island, and
in New Jersey.
lu Williamsburg tne windows in tne nouses
were rattled, the bouses themselves shaken,
and the same rumbling noise as on Btaten
Island heard. One gentleman, residing in
South Third street, informed our reporter that
he felt bis bouse shake as if a floor had fallen
through, and his family rushed frightened from
their beds to inquire II 11 were an earthquake.
AT JAMAICA AND RIDGEWOOD
persons describe the disturbance as having a
somewnai ainerent enect irom tnat eisewnere.
People living at the places named were first
awakened by a noise as if made by a team of
horses and wagons going over a cobble-stone
payment. Such a remarkable noise on a country
road of course brought the good people quickly
out of tbeir beds and to tne windows, when the
quick vibration of the earth, shaking the houses
and rattling the windows, almost frightened
them out ot their wits.
At Roslyn the noise preceding the shock was
like that of distant thunder, but seemed to be
directly under loot, ine snock itseii was a
wave or undulating motion, wnicn caused the
windows to rattle as in a furious tempest.
THE EARTHQUAKE ON STATEN ISLAND.
. The shock appears to have extended all over
Statin island, being leit witn equal distinctness
in Clifton and New Brighton. At Clifton the
shock was very plain, jarring houses and furni
ture and snaking people in their chairs, ine
floors of the houses trembled vio
lently. Feesons who were on the first
floors oi tne nouses at tne time describe
the noise and sensation as similar to
the effects produced by dragging a heavy ob
ject across the floor overhead. The shock was
equally distinct m ine neighborhood or vanaer-
bilt landing. A gentleman living two miles from
the landing reports tnat the noors in nis nouse
trembled plainly, witn a vertical motion;
that tne inrniture was larrea in tne up
per rooms, and that the noise was like that
maae dv aragging a neavy trunk across me
floor. His daughter, about fourteen years of
age, was awakened in bed by the shock, and
subsequently experienced a painful feeling of
nausea, requiring the aid of stimulants to relieve
it. In another house near Vanderbilt landing a
similar motion was leit, ana the windows were
violently rattled, but no rumbling noise was
heard. An inmate of the house was awakened
tv the shock. The vibration of the floors in
this buuaing were remarkamy violent, aiinougn
the house was very strongly built. The owner
of the house afterwards experimented by stamp
ing and lumping on the floor, but was unable to
jar it with equal force. A'. Y. Herald, to-day.
