E "merriment" which Minim

Tim attention of awe who are dis

the following testimony given by
Charles T. Yerkes, broker of Phila

ago:

ro

"I paid to John F. Hantranft the sum
of two thousand seven hundred dollars,
which sow was derive," from profits on
purchase, of hians of the same to the
Sinking Fund, which sale was made on
the '.:9th of April 1570:'
Persons who are inclined to support
a man' for the Governorship of the
State, who is thus show:. to have
been gambling with its stocks, and
plundering its people while filling
the Mike of Auditor General, may do
so, but tee cannot find it consistent
with duty to aid in his election.
THE interested parties who are
just now denouncing every person
hereabouts who expresses a partiali
ty fort .ireeley and reform ,are perhaps
not consciops of the fact that the New
York Tribune, ((freeley is nut its ed
itor now) the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican, the Detroit Tribune, the
Chicago Tribune,the Cincinnati Coni
merciul, and fit. Louis Republican,
are all supporting Greeley and Brown
and advoeating their election with
unbounded zeal. These are the lead
ing Republican papers in the Uni
ted States, and that they have dnne
more to - build up the Republin,in
party than all the other newspapers
combined, is a well nuthentimted
fact. Add to these, Senators Sum
ner, 'Schurz, Fenton, Tipton, Trum
bull, and - ir score or more of Repre
sentatives in Congress—the founders
()rand for years the wheel-hors of
the Republican party—all of whom
are in the Cincinnati movement-and
earnestly supporting its nominees.

To-DAY, June 18th. the Legisla
ture of New Hampshire will vote
for a U. S. Senator for the term com
mencing March 4th, 1873. The Re
publicans have a very large majority
in both Houses of the Legislature,
and consequently their candidate will
be elected. A . great struggle, how
ever is going on within the party
lines between the friends of James
W. Patterson, the present Senator,
and three of ;Edward M. Rollins,
and it is not yet certain which of
these two candidates will receive the
caucus nomination. The chances
are believed to be in favor of Mr.
and regret is freely expressed
that the services of so well tried a
statesman as James , W. Patters()
way be lost to the public.

There were three elements of oppo

Treasury with two or three treasury
clerks, the latent device men and
inspectors, oil the floor of the Senate
Conkiing was the only opposing c•le

amounted to anything, and he suc
cessfully held the bill off and .flnally
threw it over.
Tit ERE was (Innen Hurry of words
of denunciation and vulgarity in the

last day of the Session, occasioned by
the persistent attempts of the ad niin

suspending the ha...te.: cor
pus, and granting power t lace a
military squad at, every or any elec

ham declared resistance to the en
forcement amendment as disreputa

on inaugrated twelve - years ago by
the bayonet. Uen. Morgan, at the
top of his voice, branded the stifte
went as a lie. Bingham repeated and
Morgan retorted in stronger terms.—
Meantime the Speaker was pounding
with all his might, members were
calling order and asking the Speaker
to make arrests, and ,genera Ily speak
ing, there mas bedlam let hx)se on
the floor. Finally, both sides called
for the words of Iting,hum and Mor

these were being written ont, order
was restored. The bill could not be
forced through. As the next hest

POSTING THE Books FOR GREELEY.

We will remember that in 1840,
Mr. Greeley, then the tditor of The
Log Cobb', a campaign paper, de
voted to the interest of Gen. Harri
son for President, used to post what
he called the books. - We now pro
pose to do a little posting for the

It will be seen that there are 250

against them. The States heard from
are Mail parts of the Union. They
are the reflex of those which are yet
to elect. Within the next four weeks

well known as if they had appointed
delegates. Those who are well vers
ed in what is going on concede to Mr.
Greeley 35 States at Baltimore out
of the 37. Two States, lieleware and
New-Jerwy, will probably, in the
first instance, be against him,' and
there may be, a few watteriter dele
gates from other States. We donot
believe that in the whole Convention
of 732 delegates there will be :It) who
are against the endorsement of Gree

BELMONT AND TUE CINCIN-
NATI CONVENTION.
The correspondence between C. W,
Woolvy and August Belmont is pub
lished, in which the lust named gen
tleman expresses himself as follows:
"1 take it for grunted that all think
ing,
men have mine to the conclusion"
by titne , that the.nominationof a
straight Democratic ticket at Balti
more will either elects Grant by the
people,in ease of Greeley's withdraw
al, or throw the election into- the
House if Greeley should stand, and
then, also, Grant will be sure to be
eleeted. if the Convention can be
gut to nominatetireeley at Baltimore
with anything like unanituitylt he
large body of the thoeratic party
throughout the country will vote for
him. and we shall have enough Re
publican votes to make the election
more t hen probable,even If we should
lose one-tenth of our votes by defec
tion and apathy. Whether this nom
ination can be brought about remains
a serious question, and I am not able
to form u Judgment on this point at
this early day. At • present many
kurijvc-v rusrgd portion of the Ger-
Man vote, are bitterly opposed to
him. Between rikuiii and the 9th of
July Oreeley's strength must show
an increase or decline, and it will
then be for our Convention to adopt
what course may be the wisest.—
Though he is to nie the most objec
tionable person whom the Libefais
could select, still I am decidedly of
the opinion that our hest policy will
he to indorse the Cincinnati 1 I itforni
and ticket. This is the general feel
ing in this State, anti our delegation
to Baltimore is, by a large majority,
composed of Greeley men. As our
delegation votes as a unit, you may
set the vote of New York down at
most certain for Greeley. I was not
at Rochester and have been left off
the list of delegates,tnost probably on
account of the hoati le position of the
I Vorld and Senats Zeitung against the
Cincinnati nominees, as the delega-•
tion undoubtedly was selected with
but that one idea of making It sure for
Greeley. A most absurd story has for
years past been started, and general
ly credited, that I am a large share
hoider in the World and control its
tendencies. I have never held a single
share in it, and do not exercise any
influence over its editorials. Should
circumstances shape themselves
so that the Liberals desert the Cin
cinnati ticket, then I hope that the
choice may fall on Groesbeck. lie,
with Sanford Church or J. Q,. Ad
ams, would make a stronger ticket
than any other combination.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Falling of a Blast Furnace at West
thnshohocken— Fifteen Workmen
Buried in the Ruins—Se' ren Taken
(Jul Dead thus Itir —Great . Excite
ment in the Vicinity—List of those
Known to be Killed—Probably a
l'earful Loss of Life.
The Philadelphia Imitarer of Fri
day says: A frightful disaster, which
has resdlted in the loss of seven lives
and probably more, occorrt. • _ ter,-
day afternoon at Consholmakik a
borough situated on the river Schk :
kill, on the line of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad.
The place is situated in the midst
of a region of blast furnaces, and iron
working is carried on to a large ex
tent. The disastrous event to which
we have referred occurred about ten
minutes before two, o'clock.
It appears that a new engine house
was being eonstructed at Moorhead's
blast furn:.ce and that it fell from an
over pressure of weight on the lead
ing arch, burying beneath the ruins
a largo number of workmen who
were employed in erecting the struct
u re.
The alarm was quickly given and
spread like wildfire throughout the
entire neighborhood. A large num
ber of people from the vicinity rushed
to the snot, and a scene of great con
fusion and excitement ensued. Ef
forts were promptly made to rescue
thee, if any who were alive, from
the tetrible mass of ruins In which
they wen. entromhed.
The scene was heartrending in the
extreme wives, children, families and
friends of the unfortunate men gath
erol about the place, and frantic ap
peals for help for the victimsmingled
with their grnacs and cries of pain.
Meanwhile strong and ready hands
tame to the rescue with pick and
shovel. Soon the lifeless body of
Matthew 'Mclklerlsey was exhumed,
and all the afternoon people labored
on, and when tired were relieved by
others, anxious to proceed with the
work and render every assistance
possible. Before nightfall several
more lifeless bodies were taken out.
The mangled corpses presented a
frightful spectacle, and the air was
rent with the moans of families and
relatives of the poor laborers.
Up to half past ten o'clock last
night se‘en more bodies have been
recovered. The engineer ch the train
which arrived last night, about a
quarter to tw4ve o'clock, described
the scene as rible in the extreme
at the time ke left the station, near
the scene of thi) terrible catastrophe.
The followibg are the names or the
victims who llati been taken out life
less up to twpive o'clock: Matthew
McMertissey6 John Kelley, John
Dunn, John lowers and two brothers
by the nameV Deveney. The two
following, wifp live in Conshohock
en, were foe nA badly wounded: John
Ramsey and, Demersey.
M. Davis, V. C. Ouckin anu Mur
phy, of Norrkdown, have been taken
OM of the ruifls very dangerously In
jured.
It is supprkiti that the total num

The party of which Mr. t/reeley is
a candidale -is not in this line of
business.- It believes in civil service
reform, independent journalism, po
litical honesty, and various other
things which Mr. J. - B. Morrow
does not understand, and the tempt
ing proposition we have quoted must
therefore be tearfully declined. But
the Philadelphia party will doubt
less be glad to make a trade. It - has
done a large business in postmasters,
collectors, gaugers, lide,waiterti, and
country editors, and would give a
fair price (out of the public funds)

other small weekly that may be fur

The Olawaka, transfer boat between
Prarie Du Chien and McGregor, for
tunately was at the landing at North
McGregor, and immediately went to
the assistance 01 the sullerers, and
picked up eight of the crew, live of
whom Deere n4.riously woo tided, and
two ut them have so.ce died. It is
not definitely I:nown how many
were on board at the time of the ac
cident, anti it is impossible to ascer
tain at present, as the Caudal!' and
owner of the bout remained in St. Lou
is. As near as can tie ascertained, from
the stories of those saved, there niust
have been between twenty-nine and
thirty-five. The following is a lint
of all heard of: Jack Kelly, killed;
Daniel lioagliy, of Li Crosse, fatally
injured. since died; Harrison, La
Crumse, badly hurt; Charles Peterson,
La Crosse, badly; hit. Kelly, Amboy,
badly; Jame- Morrison, St. Charles, I
*added slightly; Speneer Rice, Ttem
pelean, slightly; Jacob Henly, Wis
consin, slightly; Sam. Johnson, La
Crosse, slightly; \Vall Bigelow, act
ing at ptain,slightly; J. Lynch, cook,
of La Crosse, uninjured; crew proba
bly killed, cannot be found; Patsy
Fianigati, killed; Thomas Riley, un
injured; Mike Dowell, cook, of La
Crosse, and John Martin, second Pi
lot, of La Crosse, killed. Itobt. Sol
omon, second engineer, who was on
duty at the time of the explosion,
and reported to be among the killed,
has shim turned up badly scalded
and bruised, but not seriously injur
ed, The engineer on duty says he
was attending carefully to his duty
and had tried the water not more
than three minutes beforo the explo
sion, and found water in the two top
gauges. He seems to think the boil
er was very inferior, and cannot ac
count for the explosion. The crew
of the Natrona are dragging the riv
er, but as yet have recovered but one
rir - a - n. - Wholt was inpossible- to iden
tify.
CHICAGO,June 15.—A special from
McGregor, low in relation to the
explosion of the h 1). 11. Mc-
Donald, says the see . the boat
after the ex ploshbn was terrible.
The dead and dying were strewn
promiscuously over the unsighty
wreck of the ruined boat. Some of
the dead were frightfully mangled,
their clothes and &f ill having been
torn to shreds by the swift winged
missiles. Many of the dead and
wounded lay under heavy timber,
their hones broken and presenting
a sight sufficiently ghastly to appal
even those wheare used to scenes of
violence and blood shed. Many of
the .wounded are so badly mangled
that it is an impossibility for them
to survive.
{
. air' he Philadelphia Press, of
June he 4th, contained the follow
ing f reible paragraph : •
" e newspaper of t.o-day is a very
difflen t creation from the newspaper
of twenty years ago. Indeed the eon
trast is as wide as between the old
Conestoga wagon and the locomotive
—almost, in fact, us distinct as that
between slavery and freedom. Read
ing out of the party belongs to the
era:if whipping-posts as they repre
sent something. Candidates are use
ful simply as they stand for ideas.—
Parties are only the temporary scaf
folding around the great edifice of
truth and just ice,to be removed when
their work is done: The Republivan
party has not yet finished its mission.
rile modern newspaper fail utterly
%hen it becomes the mere slave of a
party."
