LAST year the Democratic Htate govern ment of tax ridden Maryland expended over xr.r hundred thousand dollars for luilitia purposes. The taxes of this State are al ready about three times as great as those of Pennsylvania, and at this rate a farm across the border will in a few years hardly be worth taking as a present. Let our Pennsylvania farmers—who through a Republican administration hold their farms exempt and free—reflect on the meaning and consequences of having a Democra'ic Governor and Legislature next year.— PhiVa Press. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. —In fifty-nine contested districts the Government pary have chosen 30 candidates, and the Op position 28, one district remaining doubtful. The parties in the next Legislature of France will -urn up as follows: For the Government, 213: Independent, 42: Radical, 35. The outright opposition have gained, as it stands, about fourteen votes. The main body of the forces of the two latter parties tnay be massed at need against the E tn pire_. A fiOOD IDEA. —The new constitution of the state of New York disfranchises for a time all voters who off- r or accept bribes in shape or form for votes at any election. Such a rule might be of decided advantage to the purity of the ballot box in other parts of the country. It would certainly work well in Pennsylvania, especially if made to embrace members of the legislature and others occupying representative positions. THE accident to the passenger train from Washington to Baltimore on Wednesday night, the 9th inst., on which President Grar.t was a passenger, is supposed oil good grounds to have been the result of design on the part of unknown parties. The run ning ov;racow, the alleged cause, never before resulted in so much damage. The railroad officials are also extremely reticent on the subject. CHUN affairs Ere every day growing brighter for the insurgents. The Spanish authorities now admit the successful land ing of some 5000 filibusters with an abund ant supply of amunition. They al-o report that the rich planters have supplied the in surgents with a sufficient amount of funds to carry on the war for an indefinite length of time. THE returns of the French elections are not altogether flattering to the Emperor. The liberal vote, cast against the Govern ment amounted to 3,248,385 and the vote for the Government 4,053,56. It is un derstood that Napoleon is not all pleased with the result, ENGLAND is still in a state of excitement over the Irish Church Bill. Large meet ings ate held in various parts of the coun try. The Tinas says the Lords must defer to the country or the government cannot be carried on, yet the house of Lords resists the disestablishment with all its strength. Railroad Accident. President Grant a Passenger on the Train. Th,'e ( 'art Thrown fran: da TracJ: anil Badly/ Damaged—A A'umber of Person* Serin tidy/ Injured. WASHINGTON, Juno 10, 1860. i .Startling rumors reached here this morn j ing concerning a raiirou I accident, near An napolis .Junction, on the road to Baltimore. | to the train on which the President was a passenger. The accident occurred about 20 minutes to 10 o'clock last night On in quiry the facts- were ascertained to be as follows: The locomotive ran against a cow, and before the train passed the cow was thrown down with her logs under the wheels ol the baggage ear. The latter and the two front passenger cars were thrown off the . track. These cars were overturned and i shattered, and the passengers thrown pro miscuous'}'. Much excitement naturally prevailed, and men-urea were immediately i taken to extricate the passengers front (heir ; perilous situation. The cars, when thev left i Washing;,.;;, were in the following order: After the two first cars wa the chair car, ! the sleeping-car, and the President's ear] In the la-t named were the President, his wife, and two children, Mr. Cramer, the brotherin-low of the President, and his wife, and Secretary Boutwell. No one was in jured in the ears in the rear of the two front passenger ears, but on these ten or twelve persons were cut and bruised, several severely. So far as known, none were fa tally injured. Four passengers who received bruises returned to Washington. Several of the others remained in the vicinity of the accident, and others proceeded northward. As soon as information of the disaster reached Washington, relief was despatched to the scene, and after a delay of five hours other cars were substituted for those damaged, and the train reached Baltimore in time to connect with the early morning Northern train from that city. The above account is based on information received here by the railroad authorities, but the pas-engers who have returned to this city represent the accident as far more appallin" One of them says that at lea-t twenty per sons were injured, One from Georgia had his face battered completely out of shape, and was picked up senseless, weltering in gore. It is not probable he will recover Not only were the first two passenger oßrs completely destroyed, but the two im mediately in the rear of them were damaged. These cars were thrown viol utly together. The passengers in the after cars were startled by the screams of the wounded. One man had his leg broken. Speeial cars were despatched from Baltimore and Wash ington to the relief of the sufferers. The surgeons sewed np the wounds of a number ot persons, and set the limbs requiring such Services, besides rendering other necessary professional offices. There is now no ob struction to travel. How NEW \OKK IS GOVERNED.— V striking commentary on the way in which t be snug little island of Manhattan is gov erned, is shown in the expose of the internal arrangements of the New York Tax Com missioners office. According to the ac count given, there are ten clerk*, drawing collectively the sum of $23,500 from the City 1 reasury, who do not eveu perform any service, and who do not even reside in New l ork, some living in New Jersey. Ihey are simply political stipendiaries, sup ported out of the public purse for either real or imaginary service;- rendered to party. The Scourge of l-lah. March of the Destroying Army—Grass hoppers on the Winy — A Track of Dcso lata n Left Behind Them. Countless myriads of grasshoppers have lately made their appearaoee on the north and eastern shore of Salt Lake, and are marching or hopping toward the City of the Destrf. The ground around Promontory Point is literally black with the youne and rapacious insects. They are now about three fourths of an inch in length, black in color, and more resembling a cricket than a grass hopper. But as they increase in size their color chatwcs to brown. About two weeks since these pests made their first appearance in that c'ion. Icing then about an eighth of an inch in length, and having that appear ance of sand crickets. They grow rapidly and are very voracious, destroying everything in their wav. For miles the track of the railroad is black with these destroying in sects, the ties aud rails being hidden from view by the thousands peiehed thereon. Salt Lake City has been cleared of vegetation before by these pests, and in each ca*e the countless ho.-ts have made their first ap pearance to the north aod west of the city, devastating their fields and gardens when pas.-ing throuah on their way to the south and westward. Two years since such a scourge swept over the city, destroying every green thing, oven to the growth of wood and vino of the previous season. Millions of the bisects perished in the lake, for it seems nothing turns them when on their destroying march. In a day the beautiful gardens and orchards of the city were left as bare of verdure as though a fire had swept over them. From the account given us, it appears that the city will again be vi-ited by this scourge. We learn that the scourge, which passed over Halt Lake two years siuce, continued its march, and the following season made an appearance in the lower end of the Great Ba-in. where the -cnes of the previous year were re-enacted. This season the hordes have appeared in the extreme southern Mormon settlements, where they are destroying everything before them. They "re now some five hundred miles From Halt Lake, the localities over which they passed having had one year's respite from their ravages. It seems that when these insects reach maturity they de posit their eggs in the soil and die. The following season the eggs are hatched by the warmth of the spring, and a new army follows on its march. Coal Strikes. The following resolutions have been passed almost unanimously by the Miners' and La borers' Association, of the anthracite coal fields of this State: Whereas, The object of our suspension has. to a great extent, been accomplished— to wit, the depletion of the overplus of coal already io the market, together with the preventing, if possible, the enormous over supply that was going to the market, and which was thereby not only keeping down the price of labor, hut evidently would com pel either local suspension or further reduc tion of wages, and in consequence local stiikes; and whereas, the public press ofth* country in most instances, through which public opinion is formed and expressed, has denounced our association in its first power ful movement, representing that we had. a design to run ptices up to an exorbitant height, Ac., _&c., and in some instances even thieatening to appeal to Congress to repeal the tariff on foreign coal; therefore be it liesolotd, That we do not, nor have not. desired to run up the price of coal too high in the market, but, on the contrary, would prefer a steady and healthy market, wlrch will afford to the operator and dealer fair interest for their investment, and at the same time receive for our share a fair day's wages for a fair day's work : and further lietolmt. That, taking into con-ideration the great risk and danger a miner or labor er lias to incur in pursuing his daily occu pation, we claim that we should receive pay comm. n-urate to said rik or danger, anil not be stinted down to the lowest price giv en to common laborers whose employment are safe and free from all risk to life, limb, and family. Resolved, That on or after the 16th inst.. all districts oi branches which can agree with their emplovers as to basis ami condi tion.s of resumption do resume work. Travel on the Pacific Railroad. The San Francisco Bulletin says: "The condition of -both sections of the Pacific Railroad is rapidly improving; and for the pa-t four weeks every day has lessened the risk of accident. The treacherous tempo rary bridges over the Weber have been re placed by good truss work, the worst curves have been straightened, the banks widened, and where new-made ground had sunk, th" track has been rai-ed. The companies have much to do before they will be prepared for winter storms and next spring's floods, bu> f.jr summer and autumn traffic the road, by the middle of June, wills be as good as the average of railroads, and a large portion of each section is already better. Latest re ports speak of' improvements in the re-tau rant accommodations, and excepting where there are children or ladies in the party it is not necessary for travellers to carry any solid provisions with them. The Pullman palace sleeping-cars are now running to and from Promontory ' ea.-tward. This reduces the number of nights to be spent in ordina ry cars to two, aud that hardship need not be borne another week, as one or more sleeping-cars for the Central Railroad Com pauy are expected at Sacramento ou the Bth instant. Texas Republican Convention. GAI.VESTOM. June 11. —The Republican State Convention met at Houston Monday and adjourned till Tuesday, when J. G. Tracy was chosen President. Resolutions wee adopted approving the cour-e of Gen eral Reynolds in bringing the Jefferson pris oners to trial. K. J. Davis was nominated by acclamation for Governor. J. W. Flan igan was nominated for Lieutenant Gover nor; Frank Carter for Comptroller of the Treasury, and Mr. Kenchler, of Bear coun ty, for Commissioner of the Land Office. Mr. Batcheldcr made a speech condemning the course of A. J. Hamilton, and repudia ting the nominations, made by the gentle men who met at the Hurdling's House. In the platform the main principles of the Re publican party are endorsed. The adoption of the Constitution is recommended. A resolution recon-idering the enfranchisement of the whites was objected to by Mr. Butler, but was finally adopted. On Wednesday the Convention nominated Mr. Haney for State Treasurer, but he declined, and Mr. I'ricc, of Austin, Was nominated. A State Central Committee was appointed, also a Committee of One from each judicial dis tiiet to collect funds to carry on the canvass, i he Convention then adjourned xt'ne die. THE NEW EMIGRATION.— The country is in need of .skilled mechanics, and there is every reason to believe tiiat we shall be fur nished with all that is needed in the course Of the summer. Th,-re was landed one day last week at Castle Garden, New York, fiom one vessel between fourteen and fifteen hundred passengers, a large number of whom are mechanics, who have been obliged to leave their native country because the price of labor had fallen so low that they could no longer provide for their families. About one half of them canto from Germany, Sweeden and Norway, and the rest from t e British Isles. Most of the Englishmen had been employed in the various department* of bouse building. They say that mason* receive for their work about $1 50 per week in the country, and $7 50 in the cities, in go d ; carpenters about the same, and labor ers from s3l to 15 per week in gold, while the cost of living was about $3 a week, and most miserable living at that, leaving scarce ly anytlimg lor clothes. It is expected at vast!© uarden that they will receive at atOOOO more emigrants from the North of Europe alone within the next year and a half. Most of these are probably hound for the Northwest, .V HE JAPANESE IN CALIFORNIA.—BEFORE the Chinese question in California is dis posed ot the Japaoese make their appear ance to add to the perplexity of the situa tion. Jbe latter, it is represented, are less disposed to endure the degradation forced upon them by the whites than the Chinese and threaten to be by far the more trouble some element. The Japanese colonists who reemitly landed in ban Franeiseo have set tled dowu in El Dorado county, and express themselves highly pleased with tL-ir new country for the purpose, contemplated, the culture of tea and stIL. CUSTOM HOUSE SEALS.— The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered the nianutae ture of one hundred aud fitly seals for the use of the collectors, surveyors and naval officers in custom house throughout the United States, accepting to the design fur nished by Mr. j. B. McC*rtee, Superin tendent of the Bureau of Engraving aud Printing. The seals now used bear different devices, and the Secretary desires to have uniformity in the design. They will be about and inch and a half in diameter. In the center, under a ha'o ot stars, is aspread eagle, on the breast of which is a shield en graved in gules. This forms the die, s>rv ing as a matrix for the whole series. The name ot each district is set on the upper half of the seal, the name of the port on the lower half, forming a circle within the cir cumferences ot the seal, while the title of the office is set in au arc, directly under the name of the district—the whole forming a neat and excotlent design. LET THE WOMEN DECIDE.—There is a proposition that the wnuu-n should them selves decide by veto whether they desire female suffrage. There ueed be no objec tion to tbis. They can do it without any body's permission. Let the leading advo cates ol female suffrage, in any given State, appoint a time when the women shall de posit tfceir ballots, at given places, in that State. It should be provided that, in any State where the experiment may be tried, a majority of all the women of proper age -hall at least take trouble enough to ca.-t their votes one way or other, before judg ment is given. We venture to say that it, in any State, it shall be (bund that a ma jority of the female population demand the ballot, they will be nearer to the getting of if after declaring the fact, than they are now. Highly Complimentary. NATIONAL PEACE JUBII.EE ASSOCIATION, 1 BOSTON May 31, 1 stilt. j Dear Sirs : 1 take the pleasure in advis ing you officially that at a meeting of the Execative Committee of this Association, held on Saturday evening, it was, on mo tion of Mr. E. D. Jordan, unanimously voted. That, if any pianos are to bo u e tinner.* of thousands of their race, who wili flock to the sugar and rice fields of the Pelican S'ato, byway of the railroad arid the river. John Chinaman, with his frugal and industrious habits, will be a welcome assistant to the planters in that section. One load of coolies was iui ported thither from Havana two years -ince, and are still working upon a sugar plantation in Lafourche, but the Custom House officials nipped the enterprise, aud stopped the further importation. But how can it be stopped this time ? llow PRINTERS LIVE.—A gre.tt many people imagine that printers live on rollers, wood type, "pi" and "sicb." This is a mistake. Printers live as other people do. They must have money to buy the necessa ru:s of lite, and flatter themselves that they will get it some dav from their patrons. COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. —There are said to be 50.000 "commercial travelers" in the United States; divided as follows ; Be longing to Boston and the New England States, Io,000; New York, 20,000; Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, 10,000; Pennsyl vania and Maryland, including Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Baltimore, 10,000. TilE recent baptism ofthe Queen of Mada gascar, which took place in one of the churches of the London Missionary Society, is regarded as tending to protect missionaries avainst the gastronomic proclivities of her Majesty's subjects, some of whom have a weakness for flesh of missionaries, without bias in regard to their denominations. i HE renowned Peter Cartwright. who in now closing his fiftieth year as presiding el der in the Methodist Church, and the sixty sixth year of his regular ministry, will have a juhilce entertainment given hint by the ministers of the Illinois Conference, at Lin coln, during their session in September. A GENTLEMAN residing in Lewi-ton, Maine, left his three little children at home while he attended church lust Sabbath, and when he returned found them busily em ployed in cleaning the inside of a S3OO gold watch with soap and water. THE dead body of James L. Irvin, a tax collector of Pittsburgh, was found on the railroad track near Cresson on last Tuesday morning, with his head entirely severed from his body. He is supposed to have been insane. ANOTHER incendiary fire occurred at Altoona on Saturday morning a week. The loss was not very heavy, aud several per sons have been arrested on suspicion of complicity in these frequent attempts. THE recent lease of the Fort Wayne road to the Pennsylvania Centra' will be submit to the stockholders of the first, after their approval, at a meeting to be held in this eity on the 24th of June. JACOB LOUTUER, employed at Jones & Laughlin.s Iron works, Allegheny county, came to his death by suffocation in the ash pit under the boilers on Tuesday last. IT IS STATED that Hon. Caleb Gushing and Hon. R. J. Walker both indorse Senator Sumner's views on the Alabama ca-e, aud that the latter gentleman is preparing an argument in support of the same. THE Attorney General of Indiana fully sustains Senator Morton's opinion in favor of the legality of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment by the Legislature of that State. A SPECIAL election for Judge in the Muskingum district, of Ohio, has resulted in a close vote, with the odds in favor of Wood, the Republican candidate, —————————— HUNTINGDON' A BROADTOP RAILROAD On ami after Monday, May 24, 1869, Pas senger Trains will arrive and depart as follows: OC TRAINS.

Having far four yea:■ pa.-l labor*] to improve ami enlarge the INQCIRER and to ro till It with the iateat newt that our people would hare little or no need of any other paper, we have found that one of the chief difficulties in our way has been thtt of getting a sufficient number of subscribers to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak ing a county paper what it ought to be. Tbougb tbc IXQI'IRKK has a larger number of subscribers than any other paper in the county, it still has but little more thun half what it ought to have to justify us in the outlay necessary to keep it op to the itandardat which wc have steadily aimed. The INQUIRER will continue to be the exponent and advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism, and of retrenchment, economy and reform in the administration of the affairs ol county, state and nation. It will also, as usual, contain a larger amount of lato news and carefully selected gener al reading matter than any other paper in this Congressional District. An important political campaign is just shoot to begin, involving the election of a Governor, Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the Legislature, and a full county ticket. Tbc State and District tickets are of the highest importance as there will be a new apportionment made at the next Session of the Legislature. With such an important campaign before ua, it is highly desira ble to pat the INQUIRER in the hands of every Republican in the county. We therefore call up on our friends to help us put it at once into the hands of as many of our people as possible. As a further inducement to exertion wc have conclu ded to offer the following desirable PREMIUMS: For one new subscriber and $2.00 in advance, we will give one number of Scott's novels. 20 cent edition.

The reputation this excellent medicine eujoye, \s derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed saturated with corrup tion, have been puritiojiand cured by it. Scrofu lous affections and dfimrders, which were aggra vated by the scrofulous contamination until tbey were painfully afflicting, have been radically ca-- ed in such great numbers in almost every section of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our rare. Often, this and un telt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of er r cebling or fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its presen?e. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its hideous forms, cither on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be t>ud denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tnuior3 formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparrilta is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use "f this SAKS A PAH ILL A, St. Anthony's Fire , Rose or Erysipe'rs, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various I*icero"S af fections of the muscular and nervous systems. Those painful diseases. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat ters in the blood, y ield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamation of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood. This Sarsap&rilia is a great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
