.MORE GOOD NEWS.
Washington despatches of last Friday,
spread over the whole country the most j
gTateful news, that has cheered the hearts ol
the people for a long time. It was nothibg
ing less than the fact that the expenditures of
the government for the fiscal just ended, were
$485,000,000 less than the for the prcviov.
year. Add to such grateful news the addi
tional fact that beside this retrenchment
that reduced the national expenditures one
half, there have been paid off sixty millions
of the national debt since the 4th of March
last, and we have surely abundant reason to
be proud of our progress toward the pay
ment of our debt. This is tho Republican j
extravagance of which copperheads talk so i
gliby and exhort the people to put a stop to j
it by giving them the reins of government.
We should think the people would scarcely j
desire any change as long as Republicanism j
presents such a record. Here are deeds
that tell their own story. They are the
evidences of promises faithfully kept and of
duties honestly discharged. No party ever
before presented so fair a record. While
copperheadism relies on empty promises
and has no record, but broken pledges, Re
publicanism points proudly to promises
more than kept and such an exhibition of
retrenchment and economy as must put to
shame the most brazen faced of the opposi- 1
tion whenever they dare to make compari
son. The pride and glory of Republicanism,
not only at the national capital, but in
every state of the Union where they are in
power, is that their deeds have more than
made good their promises. From every
stale where they are in power comes the
same grateful news of debts paid off, ex
penses reduced and of government credit
improved. The marvellous performances
of the war are even surpassed by the won
derful economy exhibited in managing the
public affairs in peace. No administration
that shows such a record can fail to keep
the confidence of tbe people. No party
ever before performed such feats in finances.
be wonders of the war pale in brillianey
and effect before those of peace. While
the enemies of the President malign him for .
seeking refreshment in a day's fishing among
the mountains of Pennsylvania, or in a fly
ing visit to the seashore at Long Branch or
Cape May, Republicans can proudly point
to the record of their chief and his adminis
tration and challenge even copperhead
malignity to do its worst. Grant and Re
publicanism will continue to stand upon
their record and while s-vh exhibitions of
financial retrenchment and reform contiuue
to be made they need not fear the loss of
public confidence. The people trust and
approve, and copperhead abuse cannot weak
en their confidence nor pre tent their ap
proval. By their fruits ye shall know them.
Here are substantial fruits in contrast with
the emptiness of copperhead promises.
Which do the people prefer?
PRACTICE versus PROFESSION.
The copperheads are asking to be given
the control of the State Legislature on the
ground of public economy. They do not
point to their past record as a recommenda
tion, YOT it would a condt-mnstion ins'cal,
but they present fair promises because their
stock in trade u promises and promises on
ly. Let every one remember the practices
of the copperheads. Here is a specimen.
A motion was made last winter to increase
the pay of members of tbe Legislature front
$lOOO to $1500; for tbi s measure sixteen out
of thirty-eight copperheads voted, while but
twelve out of sixty-two Republican mem
bers could be induced to vote for the bill.
A pretty specimen of copperhead economy.
Stealing and appropriating the public funds
is the only principle of their party to which
copperheads unflinchingly stick, through
thick and thin. They advocate measures
to snit any section or climate, but they nev
er forget anywhere to fill their pockets from
the public funds, whenever and wherever
opportunity offers. In this, and in this
alone, they are consistent the whole country
over.
THE Democratic ticket in Philadelphia is
badly demoralized and is beginning to fall to
pieces. Even Packer's gold cannot keep
them together. The ticket is so unraitiga
tedly bad and the candidates so notoriously
corrupt and disreputable that even copper
heads can no longer support it. The elec
tion of such a ticket would have been a
criitio against society. Ail good citizens re ;
joiec io its disolution as they would have
done in its defeat. Copperheadism is so
notoriously corrupt in Philadelphia that the
nomination of a good ticket is impossible.
.The only assurance of peace and safety is in
the election of the Republican ticket.
1 ROTECTION secures for the laboring man
plenty of work and good wages. Democra
cy opposes protection because it wants wa
ges lowered. For this purpose it advocates
free trade. Free-trade brings the pauper
' a^° r Europe into competition with free
bor and thereby reduces the wages of the
American laborer to starvation rates. Yet
this same party calls itself the poor man's
friend. Such friendship is the friendship
of the woif for the lamb. Trust not the
men nor the party whose practices and
promises so openly disagree.
_ d° a ' our copperhead cotempora
ries point to some of Packer's heroic deeds
or patriotic sayings during the war? He
never did an act, or spoke a wotd for the
union. He was the friend of rebels and the
enemy of his country. Do the people want
such a man for Governor?
THE address of the Republican Executive
Convention of Mississippi have declared in
favor of universal amnesty and universal
suffrage in their address to the people of
that state. There would now sec-m to be no
farther cause for division in that state.
THE Whiskey Ring is moving for an in
crease of the tax on whiskey. It is put in the
plausible shape of an increase of revenue.
The truth of the matter is that the tax is
not high enough at present to enable the
ring to bribe the revenue officers. They
hope to get it increased and then cheat the
Government out of the tax by bribing the
officers. No honest roan will support this
movement. News already comes from the
west that the members of the ring are en
gaged in buying up the stock in anticipation
iof the increase of tax. We hope Congress
1 will disappoint these corrupt speculators by
letting the whiskey tax severely alone.
IT has been constantly charged that Pack
cr moved to Philadelphia to avoid paying
bis honest share of taxes, and his friends
have acknowledged its truth in having nev
er denied the statement. No better evi
dence is needed of his unfitness for office
than the fact that he cheats the Govern
ment in his private business. An honest
man never evades the payment of his fair
share of taxes to the suppoit of his Govern
ment. The mau who does is not to be
trusted.
THE copperheads, who never yet let slip
an opportunity to revile and defame a gal
lant soldier, are doing their very best at
slandering and vilifying Governor Geary.
He has been too faithful a soldier, too true
a patriot to escape the venom of those mis
erable reptiles known as copperheads.
Abuse from them is the best proof of patri
otism and integrity, and so the people accept
I it.
.
WE are constantly obliged to contend
against monopolists yet the Democracy in
sist that one of the greatest monopolists in
the State shall be placed in the Gubernato
rial chair. Down with monopolies and mo
nopolists, they aro the bane of the country
and the sworn enemies of the poor man.
Packer heads the list among the raiiroad
and coal monopolists of the State. Away
with bine
PACKER is worth $20,000,000, yet the
record shows that he managed to evade
the payment of more than eight or nine
dollars of taxes last year. Is the man
who cheats the government out of itsju-t
due? a good citizen? Does such a man de
serve to be given control of tbe Slate gov
ernment? Is the man who is dishonest in
his private business fit to be entrusted with
the control of the public funds?
THE Ohio copperheads are already colo
nizing for the October election. They are
also relea.-iug their jail birds so as to enable
them to get ready for coring. They are
determined to rally their whole force and
j recruit from the jails as well as from abroad.
| They are going strong for Pendleton and
| repudiation and the rallying of the jail birds
is nut at all unnatural, as birds of a feather
flock together.
BILI. MCMULLIN, the Philadelphia rough,
who secured Packer's nomination, has
openly threatened riot and murder, on elec
tion day and declared that the officers ap
pointed to hold the election in his ward shall
never be permitted to enter its prccints.
Such are the supporters of Packer. They
stop not at riot, bloodshed and murder to
accomplish their nefarious purposes.
J. T. KEAUY, Esq., requests us to say
that he dimes the charges made against
bitn in the card of Conley and Wiiliauis in
la?t week's INQUIRER. Mr Keagy had pre
pared a reply to the card but as it was calcula
ted to call forth a rejoinder from the other
party we declined to publish it as we do not
wish to open an unfriendly controversy upon
the subject.
Goon NEWS FROM MAINE.—The Maine
election on Monday resulted in a Republican
victory, Governor Chamberiin being re
elected by a majority of 8,000 or 10.000 in
-pi'c of the temperance division. The R -
| publicans also elect 27 out of the 31 Senators,
making sure the passage of the fifteenth
amendment.
Two MILLION DOLLARS per year is the
rate at which Republicanism has been pay
ing off tbe state debt of Pennsylvania.
Governor Geary and the Republican party
stand pledged to continue it at this rate.
Can the people do better therefore than to
re elect Gov. Geary?
FORTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of a state
debt is tin; black record of thirty-years of
Democratic rule in Pennsylvania. If the
P'-ople wish a return to debLs and land taxes
they can soon get it by voting for Packer.
But if they wish to be freed from debts and
taxes the only sure way is to vote for Geary.
REPUBLICANISM IN? become the syno
ny me fur economy and that of Democracy for
extravagance. No better evidence of this
can be found than the record of the State
and narional finances.
C. L. PERSHING the copperhead candi

POLITICAL, ITEMS.
THE Democratic party will not suffer from
the drouth, and it does not complain of it.
The members avoid the use of' water as a
beverage and it is their boast to be num
bered with the great Unwashed.
EIGHT more years of Republican rule at
the same rate as the past eight will com
pletely wipe out the State debt left us by
Democratic rulers. Everybody who want
it done will accordingly vote for Geary.
THE Democratic party, being a party of
discipline rather than of principle, ha the
advantage in ordinary eontcsts. It is not a
party of "moral ideas," but tbe pand-.rer
to any vice that will give votes.
CONSERVATISM is dead as a door nail in
Mississippi and Texa-. The opposition, in
those States, flies once more to the c 1
Democratic flag, with an occasional she--., . i
the stars and bars. The Conservative dodge
is played out.
THE Patriot ridicules Geary's visit t >
Gettysburg on the recent meeting of th
Union officers. G aiy wa- in the battle !
GettyAburg, and had a right to meet th r
his fel'ow soldiers. Where was Packer v. h n
the battle of Gettysburg was fought ?
DEMOCRACY is a hard thing to un I -r
-statid. It means negro suffrage in the Sim;lt,
and opposition to it in the North. If thi
doctrinc is right in one place, it certainly
ought to be in another; but then Democra •;>
never means eou-istency.
ASA PACKER is a Democrat of the
\ aHaodigham stripe, and yet be cxpee'g
the Union loving people of Pennsylvania t ,
fleet him in opposition to a gallant soldier,
who was perilling his life on the battle-field
while he (Packer) was hobnobbing with
rebel.- in Europe.
PACKER'S sympathies, before and during
the was, were all given to the Southern wing
of the Democracy. In 180.) he supported
Breckinrid.e in or; ■ ili m to Douglas, and
during the war, wlivn even a word from a
man of his influence would have helped the
Union cause, he was silent.
EVERY Republican will appreciate the
importance of the present campaing, in view
of the fact that the election of lYrshb g
would give the Democracy tho control of tin
Snpretu : Court of the State, and enabU
them again, as last year, to deluge us with
fraudulent naturalization papers.
V HIT.E the Democracy in almost ever;
State is making progress towards accepting
the issues decided by the late war, and
ceasing their opposition to colored suffrage,
the Bourbons of Pennsylvania are enteric
upon a great campaign with no principle-,
no creed, nor anything except abuse of the
negro and the denial of his rights.
ASA PACKER is taid to be the "\\ orkiuo
man's candidate." Who chucked him in o
the Lehigh river? llis own workmen. What
for? Attempting to compel them to work
at starvation wages. Will the workingmen
be stupid enough to support a man who
respects th ir right- only when he is com
pelled to do so at the ri-k of his own life ?
We think not.
THE officers of the Lehigh Valley Rail
way deny that the company has c ut ibuti I
a dollar in any way to the L high Uuiver i
ty, or that Judge Packer ever negotiated a
lean for them in Europe What railway
company was it then, or was there any,
which was really saddled with the univer.ri
ty subscription here; fore attributed to Mr.
Packer?
THE Democratic leaders, look upon poli
tics as a gambler does upon a game of card.-
—cheat whenever you can. Did you ever
know a Democrat politician venture a pro
test against any infamy of his party ? When
organized petjury i- employed to override
the numerical superiority of a community,
did you ever hear a D: m< era tic voice raised
against the desecration ?
"CAN a leopard change its spots ?'' quer
ies the punster. '"Yes," he answers him
self, "if he don't like one place he can go to
another. It is pretty much, so with tho
I Democratic party to-day, for in almost every
State the party has a different platform, so
that if a Democrat don't like the platform
in one State, all he has to d > is to cross the
border into another. "You pays your
money and takes your choice."
DURING tho war, while Geary was lead
ing his White Star Division, Packer was in
j Europe expre-.-ing his sympathy with th
Confederacy. Hi infamous assertion that
he would rather-ce Jt-ff.rson Davi- Presi
dent of the United State? than Abraham
Lincoln, is a- notorious as the fact of hi?
bitter hostility to the Reconstruction acts
and the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
mcnt.
THE C lsiirman of the Republican State
Central Committee intends making ;
vigorous campaign, and speakers will be in
the field early in September. Gov. Geary
ar.d Hon. John Scott arc announced to
speak at several places. A number oi
eminent speakers will canvass the State.
Let the Republicans put their shoulders to
the wheel and the election of Geary will be
readily secured.
IT APPEARS that the money for Mr. Asa
Packer's half million endowment of the
Lehigh I niver-ity, did not cotne out of his
own pocket, but was paid by a railway
company, in which he was and is interested,
the inducement and consideration therefor
being the succesJ'ul negoiiaticn, by that
gentleman, of a loan of some millions for
the Company from English capitalists. This
is a queer story, but ifeis so confidently told,
down in the Lehigh Valley, as to demand
new evidence before we can consent to credit
the reported munificence.
THREE years ago Hie-ter Clymer, of
Berks, was the candidate of tho Democrats
for Governor. He was a young man of
noble and gtnerou; impulses, and much
more liberal in his political views than
Packer, but he was backed by the Copper
head wing of the Democratic party and that
was enough to defeat him. Now the Democ
racy present Asa Packer a regular Old
Hunker, — a Breckearidge Democrat, and a
thorough bred Copperhead, who was just
as bitter against the 1 nion men during the
war as the Rebels themselves. Are the
people of Pennsylvania going to endorse
that sort of a man, merely because ho is
rich? We rather think not.
CARLOTTO is not the only victim of Bona
parte's ill fated ambition. Senatar Salazer,
ex-Minis ter of Maximilian, has been for
some time io the lunatic asylum at Wash
ington, while his wife lives in the utmost
destitution at Georgetown. Salazar was a
statesman and financier of remarkable at
tainments. His fortune having been con
fiseated by Mexico, aud he having taken to
heart the tuisfoi tunes of Maximilian, whose
cause he had warmly espouted, his mind
has succumbed to his misfortunes.
Terrible Calamity.
The inns* terrible calamity that has ever
happened in our State, occurred at Ply
mouth, Luzerne county, on Monday la.*L
The coalbroaker of the Avondalc mine at
th-it place, caught fite and the shaft of the
mine became choked with burning rubbish-
Over two hundred men and hoys were in j
the mine at the time, all of whom perished.
The origin ofthe fire lias been a: -rrtain d
to he as follows: On M relay morning, ash
usual, a fire was kindled in the furnae
-ituated in a chamber off from a gangway < f
the mine, about 150 feet from lite fco-tom of
•he shaft, the object of the fire being to tro
•luoe a draft which ventil-.red the mine. The
fire was started with wood, and tho blase
;'ot fire to the gas in the shaft, and the flam
spread to the breaker, which was instantly
:-1 on fir,*. The timbers from tlw breaker
ai 1 building above falling into the shaft si t
lite to the lining of tho shaft, ann thus pre
vented all entrance or exit from the mine.
Mr. Archbold, considered competent,
itithoritv, is fully of the opinion that all life
in tho mine was destroyed very soon after
ihtiro began—that the etiti/e force of the
heat c.iid flame drew dircclly into the mine,
swe< ping the whole extent of the workings
at with the besom of destruction The ac
curacy of this theory may he said to be do
tuonstrated beyond qutstirn by the discov. ry
made lu-A evening that the earea.- > of the
two dead mules, which he about fifty yards
from the month of the shaft, are crasie i
over with soot a quarter of an inch thick.
But if this fact had left any ground for hope,
it must have been dissipated by the un
fortunate operations of yesterday, which
during the whole day tended directly to
quench whatever spark of life might pe -ibly
stiil have lingered and cowered in some re
mote nook ofthe workings.
An entrance into tlie mine was made on
Wednesday, morning at three o'clock. Tin
chambers were reached without serious diffi
culty. The first body discovered was that of
Mr. F:eelo. Further out. in the most r
mote chamber, an appalling spectacle e
sentcd itself to the explorers. There, i a
heap, and in all sorts of positions in which
their last agonies bad placed them, b y t!
bodies of 202 men, dead, not a vesti; "of a
being v.sible in the countenance or f-nn of
any of the unfortunate men who had ni
death so untimely and horrible. The wii
: xeitement prevailed at the entrance to tl
shaft, and the shrieks ofthe Frit nds of th ■
d. ad as the bodies were brought up I
d afening.
Nothing can approximate to at! E.i;
of the scene. No pen can portray it.
pent up grief of those who still hop*: ti
against agony. The endearing and t* n ! r
words of the mother or wife as she gra-j i
the lifeless form of her son or hu-band, a:
tried to bring it again to life, refu-ing ' *
believe it could be dead, and defending I
against ail attempts at removal, touched t!*"
stoutest heart. At the latest accountsm
of the bodies hud been brought up out of
the mine.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writing from Plymouth, under date ol tb
Bth iost . gives this account of the outran.-
info the mine, and the incidents ot arring
io and about the place .
About eight o'clock this morning the fir-t
door of the gangway was Ir ken in an 1 sixty
bodies were found there. Their situation
was awful; fathers lay stiff in d-aib w th
arms about their departed sons. Some were
also kneeling, as though in prayer: >n r:g
men were hand in hand with tlu-ir lVl:ow>.
The pickaxes and shovel- which t' ,• lnd
used in making an embankment to prevent
he entrance of foul air, lay on one side. It
seemed, then, that they had fled a few st ; -,
when in an agony they fill in one anotfa
arms, suffocated by the deadly damp. In
another chamber every man was with ot a
sliirt. They had stripped themselves -•
clothes to use them in fi ling upcrcvu-e-aud
ranriies- One man had pu shed a part of"
his garment into an aperture, when a gut
ofthe gas rushed through and strangled turn
'o death. \\ agon load* of coffins tin,- tie
to id, and litters filled with sheeted dead p'i-s
along the line every few minutes. As they
re brought nut of the tunnel, an inquest i
ht-M; the dead are exposed for recognition;
.i d. when one is identifi 1, the Justice calls
••ut his mime and home; his friends take the
body and convey it to their homes.
Already the doz n mules have caused a
insirffWfrHlc stench, having s— '• j
our.-ted. The men who go down to Li-g
up the dead, have to pass these care;-
and the stench together with the gas. which
his not yet been pumped out, mokes it
difficult to hrirtg them up. The damnify
of the place is not alone that wl,i 'i im
presses the spectator. The weeping women
and loudly crying children strike the -[ e
tator with, sadin sa: but the active t cu* <
and the Provision Committee, and tl. poli.
and hucksters, and the unemotional miner-',
make it painfully obvious that the pre * tit
• a time for business and not for mourtiii;
along.
Forty-five have olrrady been talxn up.
One r.f thein showed signs of life. II w:-
bleeding and moved. He was found with
his face in the water, lying flat, on ti
bottom ofthe mine. Efforts arc beir.g ma
to r -u itatc him now.
The error of the men who, on their as
from the pit, Mooday night, report- I that
the fire in the ventilating lurnac fwif'ainthe
mine was extinguished, was a fatal error.
Treating fheir report as true, the mire ma'.*
showed that the mo-t favorable eir* .i:
through which to drive the air cur: nt
created by the fan was that which had
ormerly been the "up-cast," or current out
*! the niiae. This, of course, led r lit
through the furnace. At six in the morn
ing a tiri-k current was started through this
avenue, and it was not until four in th
afternoon that it was discovered that th
furnace was a glowing mass af anthn.'-ife,
a;:d that for ten hour- the fan intended to
ourify the minj had been driving into its
depths the full volume of poisonous and
oifling gases thrown off by the furnace.
Tlie misfortune was terrible", and its o:ih
die . iation is found in the probability th t
misfortune lmd done its worst even i Jo:
the first efforts for relief began.
News Irom CoDa—Despitions to the J'a
triot Army—Volunteer Outrages.
A Southern gentleman who visit d Cuba
for the purpose of ascertaining the state Ol
affairs for himself arid friends, writes, under
laic of September 1, as follow-: —
The news of the recent successes of the
Cubans mar Puerto I'iiueipe, Sagua La
Grande and Los Tuna-, have given an imp ■
tus and new lite to the Patriot cans,. which
wid prove irresistible. The exultation ol
the Cubans knows no bounds. They are
rising <• maw and flocking to the fit-era
ting army by hundreds. The Spaniar* -
ooenly assert that the revolution ni l be .sue
eessfal; that the Ssani-h force is zlmn-t
destroyed, tind that Spain cannot send sui
ficieut ri inforeemcnts to regain the positi'm -
o-t, by these battles.
It is reported that the Cubans, in th* -o
engagements, fought with great d termina
tion and during.and showed a discipline equal
to that, of regular troops. The Spanish
troops every where are demoralized and ha- a
no confidence in their commanders, norhave
tho officers confidence in them a* it j.,
known numbers of the regulars sympathize
with the Cubans. The revolution I iton -t
-iy believe will succeed, aud the independ
* oce of Cu! a be obtained. The outra.es
i tterpt trated upon inoffensive and helpless
Iteopleby the volunteers and their tm:s.-a
-ri.-s are of tlie most revolting character, arid
exceed even those perpetrated by the Indi
ans on the frontiers of the United Fats '*.
Everywhere the evidence of these out
rages is to be seen—buildings burned, crops
destroyed, and hundreds of homeless starv
ing wanderers. Added to this are the rav
ages of civil strife, and this ohce beautiful
and luxuriant island is now a barren waste :
and should the war be prolonged for six
months, it will be almost uninhabitable.
Even now, all along the eastern coast ofthe
island the people are on the very verge < f
-t irvation and are dying by fiundr d- ft m
di.ease superinduced by want.
A U. S. Revenue Officer Shot.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.— About noon to
day a party of ruffians went into Keenan's
liquor-shop, at the corner of S nth and
Arch-sts. . and, after inquiring fix Keen *O,
asked, "Where was Brooks? ' .Mr. James
J. Brooks, a I uited States Revenue Offi, r,
who happened to be present, replied that
ho was the man, when one of the ruffians
shot him with a revolver; Brooks's wound is
probably mortal, as the ball passed through
his lungs. The assassins drove to the store
in a carriage, and after the deed escaped i>y
the same conveyance, driving off at a furious
rate. They were traced through the city to
l'airmount Park, where all cluu to them was
lost. Mr. Brooks was appointed a Govern- i
merit detective to prevent illicit distillation,
and the a uu't was undoubtedly in revenge
fur bis successful efforts in detecting frauds.
Gen. Gregory, the I nited States Marshal,
has directed his officers to take steps for
the arrest of the as-:sina, Mr. Brooks is
slid alive, but tlie nature of bis wound
venders bis condition critical.
