GREAT MEW.
Tin: Jladicah held a meeting In thi
plneo on Tuesday evening, nt the Court
jtousu, mid wero entertained by twooi
the nut men of Hradfbril County. Wo
refer to tlu Hon. l Merctir and How
tieorge liuulon. Tho burden of tholr
discourse wits the eirusdfty of " Anterl
can citizens of African descent" with
whttu mull. From whnt win eufd It
could bo clearly Inferred tlmt wlilto liven
liud no rights which tho black man was
bound to respect.
Morcur apologized for his vote Ini fa
vorof negro stitrrugo In tho District of
Columbia on two grounds ! Tlio first
was, tltut the olllcorn to boeleeted iutho
District wero municipal or loud, mid
thewi, that negroos of tlio District
wero more intelligent and liettr educat
ed than the best educated white- man In
his audience. This l.s tv fact which ho
must have discovered by association
with the citizens of Hloomsburg mid
the negroes of thoDIstrictof Columbia.
Had ho given tho names of his white
associates hero and his negro acquaint-
juiced in "Washington tlw public could
havo formed their own opinion of tho
torrectness of his conclusions. I.aiidon
was eloquent, pathetic, mul vociferous.
Now ho was hero, now there, but al
ways upon tlio negro, without refureucu
to sexes. Wo luivo heard ITf him as n
mioudam prcaelvcr, but did not know
that ho still claimed to exercise tho func
tions of mnlnister of theUospel until wo
listened to his glowing account of a ser
mon ho had recently delivered to a ne
gro congregation In "Washington. If
tlio contortions and grimaces of tiie
eountenaiHw of his negro audience
quailed his own, wo can only say that
whllo soma may havo been amused,
others must havo boon disgusted. Ho
informed us of two facts In relation to
this congregation. First, they had
heads, and second, brains. If Mercur's
educated negroes were present on that
occasion, we strongly suspect that r.an
don saw in them what they failed to
discover in him brains.
In this connection it Is proper to add
tiiat I.andon is unquestionably a man
f varied acquirements. Law as well as"
theology and politics must have bc-
ured no small share of his attention,
dierwUe ho could not havo surprised
.s audience by tlio filhlff of a non se-
juitur.
A SIGNIFICANT HE'CORD.

which the people of any of tho said

JUDGE ELWEIiL.
Tun llradford Argus, published at
Towanda, Pennsylvania, tlio former
homo of Judge Klweli, in referring to
his recent unanimous nomination for
Congress, speaks of him as follows :
Judgo Elwcll is one of tho few men
of distinction who havo a vast number
of attached and ardent friends, ami sel
dom, if ever, an open enemy. Ho is of
mat raro class or men, prominent in
public affairs, who unlto a generous,
kindly, and unselfish naturo with steady
and profound intellectual strength. I lbs
selection to represent tills district was
entirely unsougnt, and illustrates solely
tho spontaneous sense of tho peoplcA
not tho management of wiro-worklng
politicians. It is almost unnocpssiirv.
therefore, to pass any tribute upon Ids
traits and virtues, to ho disseminated
among nis oni mentis and noigliljons in
this county so well liv Ihnin lj Im
known, so thoroughly is Ids character
estnuiisiied.
Judgo Klweli, previous to his oleva
tlon to tho Ueneh, maintained at tlio
liar of llradford County and thoadjoin-
iNixuii u supremacy wnicn never
disturbed tlio equanimity of his man-
ner.s, or aggravated an immodest opin
ion of himself. His hand was always
jvuuj- m ii.-sisi uiu younger nieiuiier.s or
tho profession, and gave cheerfully aid
to some even of equal experience mid
years.
To his clients ho never gave advice
which was insincere, or lia-ed purely
upon motives of personal gain. He
nover tooK tliose, by whom lie was em
ployed, throned tho oxnenslvo cnmtill.
cations of a doubtful law-suit, to get tlio
benefit of a larger fee, ornindo them tho
victims of ill-considered counsel.
Tho clioico which fell upon him for
- juugesniii oi mo i wenty-iirst District
was made, without sollcltntlnn. Uv n
Jlur fully enlightened in regard to 'his
personal diameter, IiH eminent fitness
Jor tho place. Having attained, in his
cIiomhi career of life, ti position Milted
In nil respects to ids umbllion and his
task's, adorned by ids purity and mis.
tallied by his ubillty and learning, ho
lias been put in nomination, ut tho risk
of personal paeri lice, and with extreme
reluctance on his own part, for mi ofllco
(o which, if elected, lie will bring a
rlpo, patient, mid most betlttlngcultiiro,
ti reputation unsullied by personal triek
ory, ft heart unskilled in tlio devious
dishonesty nf political intrigue. Ho is
u man, thus, in every sense of tho ca
pacity and character, to become nu hon
est nud eminent servant of tlio people.
Tlio blameless record Mr. Klweli lias
maintained is beyond the slightest as
persion of Ills political opponents, who-
over moy may no, wnerover mey may
bo found. Hut tho friendship of those
who profess with him sentiments in
common, must not passively permit his
elefftit. If the-o combine, Ids election
is beyond a doubt j and tlio wholo dis
trict may bo redeemed from that relic
te d
of Radical nils-rule, which, sustained
by narrow self-interest In this county,
Is dying by rapid degrees everywhere
else in the country. Knergy mid or
ganization will insure complete success,
The lower counties will give to Mr. Hi-
wen largely increased majorities; a
proper vigilance In llradford alone, Is
necessary to elect him.
Wo call upon tho people, who havo
made Ills nomination, to make Ids elec
tion sure, to organize at once mid see
mat no votes are lost.
RETURN OP TIIE PRESIDENT TO
WASHINGTON.
This afternoon a procession, including
the military, was In line in the neigh
borhood of tho railroad, ready to receive
tho Presidential party. Thero mid
along Indiana Avenue to thoClty Hall,
whero the reception was to taku place,
thero were large crowds anxiously await
ing tlio coming of tlio train.
About half past six o'clock Secreta

Hbout tho sumo time a largo force of po
llco commenced to clear tho station to
prepare for the reception.
A couple of howitzers wero stationed
on the hill above tho depot, mid about
seven o'clock commenced to fire a sa
lute, announcing tlio approach of
tho train, which in a few minutes
entered tlio depot. Knglno 20!),
which was gayly decorated with lings,
etc., brought down tho train, includ
ing tlio splendid private- car lately
built for tho use of tho president and
directors of tho road.
Immediately on the stoppage of the
train, tlio party left, tlio President lean
ing on tho arm of T. E. hloyd, and
Secretary Welles in company witli
Councilman W. W. Moore. Tho police
and military having formed an unbro
ken lino direct to the carriage in wait
ing, the party passed through amid the
cheers of the multitude, and wero drlv
en slowly along to the City Hall.
As early as four o'clock p.m. a large
crowd of not less than three thousand
people assembled in tlio square and
around tlio fueudc of the City Hall, and
before four and a half o'clock tho van
ous trades, the Twelfth Regiment Uni
ted States artillery, and employes of
tho Navy Yard, Treasury, mid public
printing oflices, and numerous other
organized bodies, chief among which
were tlio firemen witli their burnished
engines and prancing horses decked
witii flowers, began to form under the
directions of tlio various marshals
Flvo o'clock came, hut not tho I'rcsl
dent, and by that timo tliesteps descend
ing from tho main colonado of the City
Hail were thronged witli ladies, while
tho broad avenuo was packed from Four-
and-a-half Street to nearly Sixth, not
less than seven thousand people buinir
already present. The bands played al
ternately, and occasionally tlio oflicer.-
would clear tho approaches of tho Citv
Hall.
Tliis continued till after seven, when,
amid a very storm of cheers, tlio vari
ous bands struck up "Hail to the Chief,"
and tho officers succeeded in clearing a
way to tho City Hall, up to which the
President's carriage drove, and he, de
scending, walked up the steps, accom
panied by Secretary Welles and some
other members of his party. Tho
greater number, however, remained in
thosovoral carriages, despairing of ptish-
ng through the crowd that closed in af
ter tho President as tlio waves eloso in
tho wake of a ship.
Shaking hands with tho President,
Mayor Wallach made tho following
neat speech of welcome:

PENITENTIARY.
AIiout two years since a wedding
wmik piaco at mo olllco of Alderman
uoiiiddson, and a wealthy old gentle
man named liurns, then re.sidiinr in
Manchester, but since deceased, became
thu husband of a prepo-sessing danisiil
of sweet sixteen. After enjoyintr the
sweets of connubial felicity for the brief
space ot six months tho aged bridegroom
died, leaving his youthful partner the
snug sum of ten thousand dollars. Be
ing very fond of paying visits to the
rural districts, as well as to the irravo oi
lier dear departed, sIio frequently had
recourse to tho livery stable of Andrew
.luckinun, for thu purpose- of hiring ve
hicles. Hero she met a young man
named Clay Crider, who was engaged
by Mr. Jacknian in tlio capacity of
groom or driver. At the lady's own re
quest crider always took charge of tho
team when slio went out. After a time
they became intimate, then allcctionate.
mm miaiiy me young widow threw her
sen into tho arms of the "lackey," mul
declared tlio full measure uf her passion.
Another marriage took place In the
dingy office of Alderman Donaldson on
the tenth day of hist January, and Cri
der became tho lawful successor r
Bums, not only in tho infections of tho
ludy, but in tho management of her
Jiroperty. Everything glided smoothly
with them for a time, until tlio father
of the bride learned that Crider had left
a wife and two children In Gettysburcr.
After investigating tho report . mul bi-lixi-
fully satisfied of its accuracy, lie r'm.-iir.
" u oiueo oi Alderman Donalson.
where ho preferred a ehargo of bigamy
against tlio husband of his daughter. Cri
der became cognizant of this mutter, and
ero ho could bo arrested ho'llod from tho
city. Ho returned on Saturday, how
ever, and on Monday was arrested by
Oflicer Sanber, who at hls'ro(iiest con-
voyeu mm to tho homo of Mrs. Crider,
Allegheny City. Ho Implored her to
furnish tlio necessary ball, but slmoniv
laughed, and chucklitnr him under i.,
chin, bid him goto tho penitentiary liko
a man. Ho turned from her disgusted,
and Iu two hours after was consigned lo
tlio county Jail to await trial. I'iltsburg
