Tlio people of Westmoreland county claim
that their ancestors declared their Independ
ence) of Great llritain a hundred years ago
on tho loth of May. They accordingly held
n Centennial celebration on that day. Gen.
Cameron presided, lion. Edgar Cowan was
tho orator of tho day. l'higs and military
nbounded. Tho attendanco was very large
and the proceedings spirited.
Ji-mcui. Impartiality. The Supremo
court of tho United States having reached
tho conclusion that tlio Enforcement act is
unconstitutional, withheld its decision to
that effect in order that the Republican par
ty and tho Administration might have time
of graco wherein to unload the political
stock taken in its iniquitous provisions.
As wo learn from our exchanges tho moun
tains aro on tiro in every direction through
out tho State, and much damage is being
dono. In many case? these fires are mali
ciously started, in 8omo by hunters to improve
their hunting grounds and tho pasturage for
deer, and in others they are the result of
accident and carelessness. Tho extreme
dryness cause them to burn witli rapidity
and in some cases with fury.
Tho general laws passed by tho legislature
last winter only covered fifty-eight pages.
Tho special laws would not make a larger
pamphlet. In 1872 the general and special
laws made a volume of 1,492 pages. In this
wilderness of legislation the people of Penn
sylvania were about as badly off as tho citi
zens of Homo when the emperor caused his
edicts to bo posted upon high pillars so that
tlio populace could not read them. Of all
the changes wrought by tho new Constution
the lopping off of special legislation was the
most beneficent. Eichangc.
Tho recent adjustment of the salaries of
County Superintendents by tho School
Hoards of tho State, may be taken as illus
trating tho views of tlio people on the high
salary question. Tho salaries of School Su
perintendents, as a rule, have not been high
heretofore, having no proportion to those
fixed by the Legislature and Congress) yet
they liavo been reduced in a majority of
cases, and in tho aggreato very considerably,
JI'Kean is the only county that favored sala
ty grabbing, and it ought to bo snubbed.
In tho western states, where grain is
cheap, it costs 20 cents to make a gallon of
whisky. Upon an article worth 20 cents,
Congress levies tho enormous tax of 90
cents, which is equivalent to offering a pre
mium of 400 per cent, upon rascality.
roguo who doesn't pay his whisky tax has a
margin of 100 per cent, of profit after divi
ding 350 per cent, with government officials,
in order to secure immunity. Could better
legislation bo devised to break down hones
ty and build up dishonesty 1 Patriot.
Vice President Wilson, ono of the gran
nied wet-nurses of Radicalism, lias been
traveling extensively in tlio south. Tlio peo
ple pay due honor to the office ho holds, but
his progress certainly has so far demonstrated
tho utter absence of any necessity or reason
for force bills. A people who can bo brought
to pay honor to a Credit Mobilier Sena
tor, who attempted to load tho infamy upon
it dead wife, and isa biped calf at that, douot
need further humiliation, and certainly no
force to restrain them from violence.
It requires no prophet to predict a cold
summer as long as tho liorth Atlantic is fili
al with immense ficldi'of floating ice. Tho
effect of this glacial propinquity will bo sen
sibly felt throughout tho country. The
bteamship Nova Scotia, which arrived from
Liverpool at li.iltimoro a few days ago, re
ported experiencing great difficulty in get
ting through, and a largo number of ships
were seen frozen solidly in tho ice-fields. Tho
presoneo of such great quantities of ico in
tho North Atlantic at this season of tho year
is unusual, and it will perceptibly all'ect
our climato for several weeks to come.'

JubTicra or Tin: Pkaci: In regard to
tho duties of tho Justices of tho Peaco an
exchango remarks : Tho requisites which
tho law requires in order to make tho records
of tho justices complete arc comparatively
few and easily understood. A reasonable
degreo of care and study is all that is neces
sary on tho part of tho justices to enablo
them to proceed properly and to mako up
their records so that they shall contain all
tho essentials of a valid judgment. If they
do this it will savo them tho annoyance of
having their proceedings reversed, and will
provent loss and delay to thoso who bring
suits beforo them.
Tlio Judicial Salary drub,
lu another column wo print an nrticlo
from tlio Ibltcfonto Watchman illustrating
and going into complcto detail on this sub
ject. The figures given are startling. They
may not be exactly correct as to tho salaries
of the Supreme Judges in 1850,(wo hat " not
the documents at hand to verify them,i but
In the main they aro reliable, Tho pending
proposlthu is to add from a fourth to n fifth
to tho unre.'sjnably high salaries already
paid the Judges. If this bo onco agreed to
it will tie fixed beyond repeal or alteration
until tho terms expire. Onco agreed lo, tlio
next move will bo to add largely tothoiiutii
bor of Courts nlid Judges, and in tills way
tho judiciary of tlio Stato will bo made to
cut tho people over a million of dollars an
nually, whero it lately cost less than ono
hundred thousand dollars, in tlio latter case
with tho very best talent of tho Stato on
tlio bench, Instead of a largo sprinkling of
demagogue, superannuated grannies and
scurvy politicians as now, with high salaries.
It is qulto certain that tho people, must
look to their Representatives in tlio Legisla-
uro If they do not want this enormous bur
then fastened upon them. It passed tho Re-
ublican Senate last winter and failed in tlio
leiuocratic lloiiso by only two votes. Tho
Tadges aro men of great personal inlluenco
u 1 as a consequence- havo nreat weight
when they mako personal requests of Repre-
utatlvos; they aro in a condition to liter-
illy dictato to tho bar, tho most numerous,
earned and influential body of professional
gentlemen in the State ; and these combined
argely sway the newspaper press and In gen
eral control tho petty politicians. Tho peo-
le, therefore, plainly seo the odds they havo
i fight against. Tlio babblers aro agrtlnst
theni the active inlluenco that affects legis
lation is against them tho "borers," and
roosters," and salary grabbers aro all against
them, and tho people havo to depend alouc
upon their moral power, tho strong common
sense and integrity of their Representatives,
and the eternal fitness of justice and right.
Iiut in this strugglo the people daro not bo
piiet. Th"j must attend to their ReprucnUi'
the. A few faithful men cannot resist tho
tide expressed public sentiment must.
trengthen them. Tho Legislature, tho
Democratic House, is tho only point whero
the extravagance can bo siiccassfully resist
ed. The Republican Scnato has pronounced
in favor of tho grab. It is checked in th e
Democratic House by a closo vote. Gov.
Hartranft is himself a salary grabber and
therefore cannot veto tho scheme. Tho only
chance, therefore, is for tho people to throt
tle their members of the Legislature and the
politicians and compel them to d) right. L ct
every mau who feels an interest in the busi
ness attend to it.
Tlio lllght to Work.
Tho right to cam one's bread "by tho sweat

which does not carry with it an absolute

without directly defying tho Creator himself,
Hut it is not required at this day to arguo

ernment which falls to protect Its citizens In

Death of John C. Ureekoiiritlge.
Gen. John C. Drcckcnridge, ono of the
most brilliant men of tho age, died at Lex
ington, Kentucky, on tho 17th inst. in the
05th year of his age, from tho effects of n
shell wound in the side during the rebellion.
He served with distinction during tho Mexi
can war, was several time, elected to Con
gress from Henry Clay's old district, was
elected Vice President of tho United States
at 33 years of age, was elected a U. S. Sena
tor upon the expiration of his term, joined
the Confederacy and becamoj a General in
its armies, afterwards Secretary of War, es
caped from the country after the collapse of
tlio rebellion, but soon returned, nnd died at
his homo as stated, surrounded by friends
and universally regretted. Had his health
permitted ho would havo taken a prominent
and most important part in the restoration
of tlio country to a condition of peace, good
will and fraternity. In 18C0, eight States
and over a million of voters cast their ballots
for him for President. Had he been elected ho
would no doubt have provented tho rebellion,
which was fomented and precipitated by the
successful party of tho time.
Health in Cold anil Warn Seasons.
Some way or other people havo goner
ally got tho notion into their heads that cold
weather is moro healthy than warm. We
think tho experience of tho past winter will
go far to dispel this idea. Jt has been ex
ceedingly fatal to old and weakly people,
though tho cold was steady, dry and intense.
Wo do not remember a season of equal fatal
ity, and this is the news from every locality.
True, decaying vegetation, stagnant water,
unhealthy and immature vegetables and un
ripe fruit, and over work, with other tern
porary causes, produce bilious affections it
summer ami autumn, but cxtreino cold is
nervo destroying, attacking all tho vital for
ces, engendering inflamatiou of every char
acter and thus inciting almost every form of
htent constitutional disease. Compared with
these tho bilious diseases are in general
mild and much moro curable, as well as
moro easily guarded ngainstor checked. Wo
do not in tho least doubt that observation
will establish tho accuracy of this theory
Noxt Governor.
Somo of tho papers suggest ex-Governor
Rigler for the Democratic nomination for
Governor this) fall. Wo aro by no means
clear that that would not bo the card to win
Ho was a safe, prudent and excellent Gov
emor when in offico beforo. His public and
private character stand unreproached . Rc

Ho is tho head nnd front of tlio Centennial
celebration movement, and as such would bo
u peculiarly proper Governor during that
period and hiselection would give great eclat
J and advantage to tho celebration Itself.
lhc.0 facts would also add largely aud inn-
tcrially to his strength as a candidate. Ho

ful to the people. Wo' bolievo ho would
combine extraordinary elements of strength

Tho property of tho Northern Pacific
railroad company, except certain lands and
land grants, is to bo sold at public auction
in New York, on tho first Monday in August,
under a decree of tho United States circuit
court, in a foreclosure suit. Tho lands nnd
land grants excluded from tho New York
sale aro to be sold at designated places with
in tho States and territories whero they aro
situated. This is tho beginning of tho end
to rule out tho small stock and bond hold
ors of tho Northern Pacific, After tho fin
died part of tho road, and lauds aud laud
grants havo all been sold and monopolized
by a ring, and all Indebtedness expunged by
being rendered worthless, tho construction
of tho road will go on again, further de
mands upon tho government will bo mado
nnd obtained, tho rlugstcrs will amass im
mense sums, while thoso who honestly loaned
their money to Jay Cooko can whlstlo upon
their fingers. All this is tho natural course
of Radical legislation.
Wo hear of Mr. lliglcr, Mr. Oalbraith
and others, declining to bo candidates for
Governor. Wo tako no stock in dccllna
tions, Tho Democratic party and tho peo
plo of the State havo tho right to doraan
tho services of any citizen whonovcr they
aro required, and no man not absolutely
void of patriotism will refuse to comply
with such demand if made. Tho dccllna-
tions mean only that tho persons publishing
them will not strive for tho honor. Wo hop
yet to see the day when no man who makes
himu'lf a candidate, or solicits any such fa
vpr, can bo nominated or elected to any Stato
office.
Wo see it stated that tho Government
will not put in circulation any of tho silver
coinage, in pursuance of tho Resumption act.
until gold liiw fallen to about 110, as with
gold ranging above that quotation tho col
would be bought up for export. Tho same
authority intimates that tho Government au
thorities at tho next session of Congress will
sanction tho introduction of a bill to repeal
tho silver resumption clause. If this bo so.
It is to bo expected that tho secretary of tho
Treasury will uso his discretion in respect to
substituting sliver for the fractional currency
accordingly, aud bo tempcralo In his purch
ases of silver between now and next Decern
bcr,
on for tlio chief Kxccutivo of tho Stato
playing tho petty politician, suppose tlio
people who commit tho outrage upon labor
havo votes, havo not tho honest and law
abiding, God fearing people, votes also?
Will honest or decent men, win votes, ever
permit their fellow-citizens to bo driven from
their labor by murdering mobs? When thnt
time comes thero will bo no security for tho
ghts of property In any tiling, for that gov
ernment which will not protect the poor in
tho enjoyment of tho right to cam their
read, will soon havo no power to protect
any thing, 11ns is a common cause, m
hich nil men nnd people of all parties,
sexes and ages aro directly interested, and
one wherein the ritjht mutt be made to triumph
at every hazard I Let drivelling politicians
quake tho pcoplo will sec to it that in this
Heaven blessed country men shall not be
isturbed in their occupations when earning
their bread by the sweat of their brows at
honest and lawful employments, especially
when theso aru such that the interests of tho
wholo public rcquiro that they should be
conducted steadily and without interruption.
Wo are led to theso remarks becauso of
the driving of a body of workmen from the
bituminous coal mines of Clearfield county,
ly an overwhelming mob, and by similar
occurrences throughout tho coal mining re-
ions, and tho absoluto inaction of tho Gov
ernor of tho State, witli tlio single exception
f sending troops to ono locality. Sending
troops to protect, if nothing moro bo done,
is incro child's play. Iargo rewards ought
to be offered for tho apprehension of all per
sons engaged in tho riots complained of, aud
their punishment ought to bo swift, sure and
amplo to securo future lawful behavior.
We cannot believe that tho more sensible,
n fact tlio great body, of tho striking mi
ners approve tho lawless proceedings, and in
indication of themselves and their cause
they ought to arrest and surrender up the
bad characters amongst them who incite and
commit the unlawful acts.
Wo again call attention to tlio fact that
tho palpable evil out of which all tho wrong
doing in this regard grows, is the incorpora
tion of vast monopolies having authority to
buy up whole regions of coal lands and thus
driving individual competition aud effort out
of tho business. Were theso corporations
outof tho waythcro would be no strikes aud
no trouble. Thousands of miners would
themselves have interests in tho mines and
many would bo wholly owned by actual
workmen. Mining would then proceed as
regularly, quietly and systematically as agri
culture, and other works would not bo
stopped for want of supplies of coal at rca
sonablo prices. Wipe out the corporations
but by peaceable means.
Mr. John Siney has blundered most inex
cusablv in advising a striko in tho bituniin-
ous coal mines when it is easy to replace
striking miners by others anxious to work
at present prices, iio nas uiuiuiereu still
worse in leading tho miners into personal
collision with peaceful laborers hired to work
in the mines deserted by tho .strikers, for
the first blunder the Miners' Union should
punish him by kicking him out of its em
jiloyment as an incompetent meddler. For
the last blunder tho law probably affords a
remedy in tho lorn; list of penal statutes in
tended for tho protection of life and proper
ty. llamsburg J'lUriol.
Whoever, under tho guiso of friendship
leads organizations of working men or hull
viduals, or others, into unlawful acts,or such
as lead them into resistance to legal author'
ty, is tho worst and most dangerous enemy
thoso interests can have, If Mr. Siney is
guilty ot that offence, then ho certainly oc
cupies tlio relation of au enemy to tho mi
ncrs, whatever his motives may be. Strikes
arc in themselves o much in tlio nature o
rebellion, revolution and resistance to
peaceful state, that those who join them aro
put on their good behavior, and any violence
by them becomes a gravo offense, and is in
aid of their opponents, as turning not only
tho legal power but public sontiment also
against them. Exactly lawful behavior is
the btrength of all strikes. Without tins
they aro soon destroyed, aud of course de
featcd. A fit leader will uso his utinos
endeavors, therefore, to avoid unlawful ac
tion. Whoever advises it does that which is
sure to bring destruction aud is therefore tlio
worst of enemies.
As to whether Siney is guilty or not, we
at this point havo no means of judging.
Tlio miners, howovcr, know all about that,
and if guilty they owe it to their own inter
ests to depose him. Kor somo reason strikes'
aro only profitablo to certain leaders and
for somo undefined reason, they aro never
successful under tlio lead of thoso who
havo lor somo years been acting in that ca
pacity. They will not bo in tho future.
Cau not tho miners divine tho cause?
Tlio Striko In tlio llitumlnons Itogions
Tho Sheriff of Clearfiold county arrested
about fifty miners who were chnrged with
making threats against tlio men who had
gono to work. They wcro sent to J nil, A
warrant was out for John Slnoy, but ho es
caped, ltitumtnous coal Is mined without
difficulty and nny ono may work at it with
comparative safety. Largo numbers of men
aro ready to work nt tho wages offered, Tho
operators rcfuso lo re-employ nny uf tlio
strikers and also refused to meet them for
purposes of compromise. It Is very evident
that tho striko can not bo mado practicable
In tho nitumlnous region. Tho Allcghc
nics aro filled witli fields of thousands upon
thousands of acres of bituminous coal lands
thnt havo never yet been worked, many of
which would bo by tho resident proprietors
if they had railroad facilities for reaching
market. Tlio Philadelphia and Erie road
(Pennsylvania road lessee) has heretofore
refused theso facilities, tho officers of tlio
lattcrbeing personally Interested In tho Iiroad
'lop nnd other western coal fields. If tlio
striko shall havo tlio effect to compel tho
Philadelphia aud Erie railroad to afford
facilities for transporting all tho coal that
may be mined, at fair rates, vast numbers of
new mines will bo opened on its line, and
the wholo public will thus bo benefitted
Theso facts also go to show how utterly
abortive strikes must beenmo as a means of
rectifying the evils complain of.
P. S. Later Intelligence informs us that
through tho efficiency of the Sheriff of Clear
field county, all trouble in that region has
ceased, aud tliestrikcrs are now settling among
themselves who caused tlio disturbance.
Siney will hereafter havo to keep away from
that locality. Au efficient officer is ever
n blessing to any community.
ino iicpuuucans oi i.yconung aro in a
snarl about instructions to their delegates to
tho Lancaster convention. Their standing
committee pronounced in favor of Wolfe,
for State Treasurer, with a qualification to
the effect that thev did not mean that, but
for Rawle, of Erie, who is designated as tho
nominee by tho Stato ring. Hut. it seems,
there was an outstanding promise that tho
delegates should vote for Strang, of Tioga
and it was a promise coupled with matters
that daro not bo exposed I To settle things,
therefore, a majority of the standing com
mittco wcro induced to sign a paper certify
ing that there wero no proper instructions
at all, thus leaving tho delegates to
be promised to each candidate ! Ordinarily
tins would bo a dilemma, but not so with
Gen. Tliode. Hill, at the head of tlio delega
tion Iio will vote for Strang, and likely car
ry his colleagues along, witli tho perfect
knowledge of each other candidate thnt he

Lycoming Radicalism, and especially tho
leaders thereof!

The Republican Stato convention is to
meet at Lancaster on Wednesday next. Gov
Hartranft will bo renominated without for
mal opposition. As Gen. Cameron and tho
Radical State Ring havo pronounced in fa
vor of Mayor Rawle, of Erie, for State
Treasurer, that personage will no doubt be
the nominee. There will bo a fight (public
or private) about tlio third term businessi
but as most of tho Radical leaders vaiiily
nscribe their recent defeats every where to
the influence of that bugbear, they will
probably pronounce against it, not thnt they
arc really opposed to it, but for tho sake o
votes. Unless they can convince Grant that
such action is a mere blind, ho will take
good care to see that their ticket is defeated
Otherwise tho convention wilt have no par

How Carpctdtaggprs aro Illputcl to tlio
United .States Senate.
A Legislative investigation has for some
timo been going on in Alabama as to the
manner in which George E, Spencer, a car
pet-bagger, was elected to tlio United
States Senate by a portion of tho Legislature
of that State. Over 300 pages of manuscript
testimony by republican witnesses provo the
following facts:
liefore tho election Spencer went toLoui.-
villc to see General Tracy aud urged him to
send troops to Alabama, tho purpose belli
to use tlio troops as a political machine to
intnnuato democratic voters; aitertho clec
tion a separata court room legislature was
organized, becauss it was feared that if both
parties met together tno democrats would
control the organization and ueicat spencer
republican!) who opposed spencer wero
bought over witli money and tlio promise o
appointments to office in order to tret a nuo
rum for tlio court room body; men were sent
for and paid to como and represent counties
not only without certificates of election, but
without any pretense ot election, in order to
dcleat a quorum m the capitol legislature
Uue member was bribed by Hinds, and an
other was drugged to insensibility. Tlio
money used in corrupting members was gov
eminent lauds borrowed for that purpose
lrom post oincc nnd revenue nmciais.
When a comnromise was iironosed bv At
tomey General Williams, it was found that
unless ono democratic senator could be
unseated and a republican placed in his
stead, the record would show that tho court
room legislature hud no quorum in the sou
ate. and that Spencer's election was void
Thereupon ono Glass, the republican senutor
from Macon county was paid from $300 to
$.100 to pair of' with a democratic senator I
what was known as the Miller and Marti
contest, nnd violate his nlediro. The Lieu
tenant governor, M'ivinsley, was to rulo and
tho republican senators wcro to sustain his
rulings oo as to nettlo tho contest beforo notice
of tlio treachery could bo conveyed to tho
absent democratic senators. Tlio testimony
ot ICobert llarber, cleric ot tho court room
lower house, aud also clerk ot the samo
house after consolidation, is a sample of tho
wholo mass, liarber being duly sworn tes
tified n. follows: I was clerk of tho lower
hoiiso of tho court room legislature, ami also
clerk ol tho liouso in tlio consolidated legis
laturc. Tho obiect of tlio com t room lenis
latum was to securo tlio organization aud
elect General Spencer to the United States
Senate. Wo did not think this could bo
dono if we met at tlio capitol. After rel

When tho firm of Jay Cooko it Co. wcro
at tho high tide of prosperity, tho favorilo
brokers of tho government unit tho bankers
of ttio loyal pcoplo throughout tho land,
they succeeded in selling toeonfldlng Penii-
sylvaulaiis a great deal of Northern Pacific
railroad stoek. Tho failure of tlio great fi
nancier, who demonstrated that a national
debt win n national blessing, wasa sad stroko
for Northern Pacific, a schema in which ho
had put nearly all his own money and n
great deal moro belonging to other people.
An eflort Is now being mado to dlstnbuto tlio
losses among tho bondholders, stockholders
and creditors of tlio Northern Pacific Com-
pany so as to set that project upon its. feet
again. Tho following facts in regard to it
aro gleaned from tlio money nttlclo of the
Philadelphia Ledger. It says: "Tlio pres
ent assets of tho company are reported to
consist of G,"0 miles of finished railroad, over
100.000.000 acres of land, whllo the liabili
ties aro mnrtgago bonds to tho amount of
430.000.000, stock to tho ninoiint or 825.000...
000, which was distributed as a premium to
the bonds, nnd a floating debt or less than
8700.000, or which $500,000 is duo to tho
directors or tlio road. Resides thero Is $2.
500.000 or back interest duo, which is un
classified, and which will probably be re
linquished by tho bondholders in their pres
ent difficulty. Three plans havo been sug
gested ns means or relieving tho company
from embarrassment: First, to form an as
sociation or bondholders that might bo
strong enough to foreclose tho niortgngo and
buy in the road ; second, for tho bondhold
ers to exchango their bonds for prererrcd
stock, leaving tlio completed road clear or
debt as the basis or a now scries or bonds,
and then later to effect a second exchango
or bonds for tho stock, if desired; third,
to hold the road built nnd lands earned ns
sole security for tho bonds now out, to di
vido the road to bo constructed into sections
of twenty-fivo miles, aud to mako an issue or
bonds for cacli section, to bo secured by that
particular section and tlio lands earned
through it. Something may be said in favor
of each of these several plans, but nothing
has been determined as vet."

To do what thirty-fivo Judges did twenty
years ago, for 803.700, wo now havo eighty
Judges who receive 8302.000. And tho rad
ical press whoso leaders havo stood for tlio
last fourteen years with their hands in tho
Treasury or tlio State, squandering tlio peo
plo's money, berate and abuso the Democrat
ic House for not increasing this amount
eighty thousand dollars, Wero tho Demo
crats right or wrong, tax-payers? It is for
you to answer, and it will be a question for
your determination in November next

Ono of tho assumed prerogatives of tho
"independent newspapers is exemption
from tho obligations ordinarily imposed by
tho ninth commandment. It is not only u
bushwhacker, but a truth crusher. It con
siders Itself at liberty to set fact at defiance,
if It desires lo spit venom at its adversaries
or to impose upon tho public a preposterous
theory of its importance; and accordingly it
will lio fluently and vehemently about any
thing. If Ananias had been tho conductor
of a guerilla journal ho would stand In hlsto
ry as nearly tlio perfect representative or tho
"independent" editor. Hut it is only fair to
tho memory of Ananias to say that whllo ho
misrepresented tho truth for a distinct pur
pose, tlio guerilla editor lies in pure wanton
ness, probably from sheer forco of habit,
I'Mla, Uultttiii,
There was a we.ll grounded public belief
that tho Heecher-Tillon trial never would
come to an end, but, haply, there is now a
prospect thnt it will actually terminate with
in a comparatively brier spaco oC timo
Tho avenue to tho further introduction of
"evidence'' is closed. On Wednesday last
Heccher's attorneys commenced their argu
ment for the defence, and they havo solemnly
promised not to occupy more than a week.
Another week will no doubt be sufficient for
the prosecution, cliargo to tho jury, &c. It
seems to be understood that there is to bo no
verdict, so that the farco will end whero it
began, tho Tilton crowd having accomplished
their main purposes, viz: to add to their no
toriety nnd to givo tho broadest possiblo eir-
ulation to their charges against Hecclier.
That there have been innocent and eompul-
sorily non-resisting victims Mrs. Tilton and
children in all tills nauseous business docs
not seem to have at all been taken into con
sideration by the infamously loathsome crea
ture who instituted tho suit. What the ver
dict of tho characterless jury may be, or
whether any, is not matter oC tho least ac
count, The foul mass of filth and pcriury
piled up during the trial will remain at all
events. Hecclierwill go on as usual with his
seini-rcligious-blaspliemy in his Sunday ex
hibitions at the Plymouth lazar, and Tilton
will go back to tho embraces of his courte
zans, viler than ever. Hut the public is to
bo congratulated that the Hastiness is not
much longer to bo imposed upon it through
the city papers.
General Sherman's Memoirs tlio second
and final volume which has just been pub
lished by Messrs. Appletun & Co., h a book
that will inevitably revive discussion as to
the military merit of many of the officers of
tlio war. Gen, Sherman holds a ready pen
and has always given courageous expression
to his decided opinions. His fellow-soldiers,
some or them, will suffer in tho public es
teem by his criticisms. Hooker, Jefferson
Davis, Secretary Stanton, Logan and others
aro somewhat roughly dissected, and Grant
can no longer tako credit for planning the
march to the sea or tlio movement from
Georgia to Virginia, which cut oil' Lee's
supplies and his retreat from Richmond
The suggestion or egotism in publishing
these memoirs in his own lifetime is coun
terbalanced by tlio chivalric opportunity af
forded to living men to disprove his state
ments and defend themselves. Tlio book
will create a first class sensation J'ulriot.

Tlio ll.nton Post says that among tho aspirants
for the Republican Presidential nomination,

Grant has appointed his brother, Orvllle,
Superintendent or all the Indian Agencies. If
Orvllle is not worth a million of dollars by the
1th of July, 187(1, It will he became "tho gov
ernment" c.m't como to time on tho Indian
question.
When Ohio and Pennsylvania veto next fall
the country may expect to witness another
sweep of that remarkable tidal wave which
started on ils course lat fall, not to ho stayed
until it mbiiierges tlio White Hoiho in 187G.
The new tax bill has not met tho expectations
of Ils originators. Ilitc.id of Increasing it has
tints far hud the ell'e-et of diiuhiMiing the
revenues. This is only another evidence of
tlio short-sightedness of the majority of the hist
Congress.
Fx-Oovernor Dix has been interviewed by
the Utica Observer, which credits the old
gentleman with saying thnt ho was defeated for
Governor of New York " becniiso he declared
against n third term last fall," and ho feels
"convinced that Grant would like anotlitr reelection."
Senators CameMn nnd Morton dined with
would-be Senator Pinchbaek when lliey wero in
New Orleans, a few weeks ago. Hut " Pinch "
couldn't get them to consider his c.-v-e as they
wero only on a "pleasure trip." This darkey
business is playing out fast.
The Supreme Court of tho United States has
just decided, in a life insurance case, that un
truthful answers to the questions which form
the basis of the policy, even though they may
be immaterial to tho ri"k assumed by tho
company, render tho instrument void.
If tho Democrats should bo successful in
electing tho President in 187(1, of which thero
is every probability, not General Grant only
will have to abdicate, but tlio whole Grant
family, which is legion, will havo to "step
down nnd out" to thogrcat relief of the whole
country.
The marriage of Miss Ida Greeley, eldest
daughter of the late Horace Greeley, to Col.
Nicholas Smith, of Covington, Ky., who served
throughout the war in tlio Confederate army,
took place recently at the residence of tho
bride's aunt, Mrs. John F. Cleveland, in New
York, the services being solemnized according
to the Roman Catholic form that being the
faith of the bridu's mother by the Rev. Father
Fnrrell. Tho spacious p.irlors wero crowded
with invited guests.
The hoard of trade of tho city of Frio has
appointed a committee of its citizens wait to
upon tlio ll.dliinorc and Ohio railioad company
witli a view lo urge llie extension of a branch of
that road to Erie.
Shrewd politicians prophesy that the defec
tion of Republican miners will be of such mag
nitude, tills coming autumn, as to preclude the
possibility of electing the Republican candidate
for Governor.
Douglass had a happy faculty of squeezing
the ultimate farthing out of the stamp .tax on
pomatum, but lie was blind when the whisky

elephants.
It seems that the unrepentant rebels of New
Orleans arc never going to cease persecuting
tho gentlo carpet-baggers. The last act of out
rsge was indicting five of them for trying to
bribe tlio Legislature,
The authorities of the city of New Orleans
have authorized an official statements that there
is general and intense suffering there for the
want of the common ncee---arics of life. What
a terrible commentary ibis fact affords upon the
radical reconstruction policy which lias reduced
one of the mn-t thriving and opulent seats of
commerce m this country in ten years to a con
dition of absoluto beggary.
ino Ulinmiicrsuurg I alley Spirit says:
There seems to be very little doubt entertain
ed by anybody that Governor Hartranft will
be renominated by thcRepublicaii Stato Con
vention. The politicians all feel that ho is
not as strong with tho pcoplo ns liefore the
meeting of the last legislature, but they are
so thoroughly committed to him thnt they
cannot well throw himovcrboard. Hisnoui
ination, however, will in-uro tho nom
ination or a Temperanco ticket that will re
main in tho field until the election, A La
bor Rerorm Convention is also likely to bo
held which will give tho Governor further
trouble. The result will bo that tho candi
date whom tho democracy nomiiiato at Erio
will walk over tho course, and Pennsylvania,
for tho first timo in fourteen years, will havo
a democratic Governor. And why not, as tlio
most of her sister states aro choosing Demo
cratic Governors?
