OlIAIHMAN Ill'.NSI'l, AlHUtUSSES TI1K Pllll. ADKI.I'IIIA UI5MOOKACV. Chairman IIousol delivered an ex haustive address to the members of the city executive committee of Philadel phia on Monday night. His words were full of hope and they frequently aroused applause. Ho spoko of tho present year being an'exceptionally ac tive one, from the. fact that politics were everywhere on tho go. "Pcoplo were talking polities and editors writ ing politics and the interest in politics was unusual in every county I bavo vi sited," said Ilcnscl. "It has been re presented that there is a break in tho democratic ranks. Tliero are people who go out of politics in off years, but of these pcoplo I say thoy have no right to go out of politics in an off year, and if thoy do go out then letthem stay out altogether. I believo that wo should servo a notico on such pcoplo that if thoy intend to ko ouc of politics this year or stay in that year let them go out for good. The importance of this campaign cannot bo overestimated. Tiie sentiment which actuates tho democratic party this year must bo supplemented oy ino wont next year, xncro are 150,000 democratic voters in tho state of Pennsylvania. Of this numbor not 850,000 votes aro over polled. If there aro 300,000 democratic votes cast noxt November Powell and Taggart will be elected by 25,000 majority. Tho ob ject wo aro to look forward to now is to get tho full democratic voto out. lins matter can be looked after be tween now and tho last of Sentembor. After that dale our solo attention must bo given to tho ainglo work of retris tration, and then you havo thirty days to make the final chargo and carry tho stato by a round majority. This, as the plan of this campaign, is tho plan of tho state committee and tho plan I will try to impress on tho county committees. There is no reason why wo can not got out the full voto this year, and it we do, the democratic tiok ot will bo elected. It ought not to bo such a groat thins to tret out tho demo cratic voto. If wo get tho samo voto tins year that wo did Jast, we will ,havo a handsome majority in tho state. I know that thero is a feeling that tho democratic lookout is not encouraging, owing io mo milieu motions oi me ro publican nartjv but that is a wronc im pression. If you analyze tho vote of iasi year you will lind tuat not more than 25,000 votes were cast for tho do mocratic ticket by independent repub licans. From tho reports I havo had from the democratic counties in tho in tcrior and western pnrts of tho stato I am assured that tho full democratic voto will come out this year, and if it noes victory will rest on the democra tic standard in November.

Captain Tacirart. tho Democratic candidate for Auditor General, stands high at homo with all classes of citi zens, regardless of party affiliations. The Tidioute Weekly News, n Bepub lican paper printed at tho Captain's placo of residence, has this to say of his nomination : i'Tho Democratic Stato Convention did itself and tho party an honor when they nominated Captain Robert Tag gart as its candidate for Auditor Gen. oral. We, who know tho Captain, who meet him ovcry day, who do business witit nun, know now good a ciueod, how prompt n business man, how en tirely thoroughly reliable ho is.

Death of Judge Black, I'lio eminent liiiist died at his homo nt York, Pa. on Sunday morning last, after an illness of ono week.

Shortly boforo Judge Black died ho said to his wife t "How can I fear to cross tho dark river when my Father waits for mo on tho other shore V and addod : "Would I were as comforlnblo about all I leavo behind unfinished in this world," and then breathed tho following earnest prayor "Uh,,Tliou beloved nnd most mercltui heavenly Father, from whom I had my being and in whom I havo ovor trusted if it bo Thy will grant that my suffering may end nnd that I spcodtly bo called homo to Thee, and O 1 bless and com fort thee, my Mary. Till! EMINENT JUIUSTd MIT. Jeremiah Sullivan Black was bom in Stony Creek township, Somerset county Pa., iu January, 1810. His father was Henry Black, a prominent man in that region in his day, who at ono timo re incsontod his district in oougress. Ho was oi scoicu extinction on ins miners side atidPomisvlvania Gorman on that of tho mother whoso ninidou name was Sullivan. Judco Black's early days were spent on his father's farm but his tnsto for books soon led his father to avail himself of such advantages for the education of his son as tho schools of that day nffordud. On attaining his majority young Black was admitted to tho bar of Somerset which at that timo numbered among its members the nblcst lawyers and tho most accom plished orators of the state, among them Chauncoy Forward, Charles Oulo and Joshua F. Cox. After some years' practice ho was appointed presi dent judge of tho common pleas of tho Somorsot district in which office he soon becamo distinguished for his earning, auiuiy unu integrity. uuu the judiciary becamo elective in 1830 ho was chosen ono of tho justices of tho Biiprcino court of tho stato Which office ho held until 1857. During his term as iudcro of tho supremo court lie served as chief justico for a number of years. ENTKKINO TI1K 11UC1IANAN UAUINET.

Judge Black has been at various times favorably and prominently mentioned in connection with the presidency. Ho has written much for the public press, and his contributions to the periodical literature of his time havo been widely read and greatly admired. Judgo Blaok leaves a widow (who was a daughter of the late Chauncey Forward), two sons, Chauncey F. (now lieutenant governor), and Henry Blaok, and sev eral daughters. Pennsylvania's Standing Army. The National Guard of Pennsylva nia for tho fourth time has iono through a tour of one week of camp iluty. r rom tno revenues ot tno State the Guard receives yearly 8220,000, Uno-nalt ot tins is devoted annually to transportation to and from camp and to pay aud subsistence while there. JNo Pennsylvanian will question tho expe diency of spending this sum for the support of an efficient military force, but the question is whether tho encamp meats carry out the purposes tor which thoy aro intended. It is a high sense ot patriotism m tho employer and in the employee, that will induce tho former to permit and the latter to turn out at tho call for camp to tho number of twenty-three hundred ; not lor a picnic in the coun try, as many suppose, but to be subicct oa io ino nara aiscipune mat. rouis out tho Uity Trooper, accustomed to sou beds and late hours, at 5 o'clock in tho morning, to tho work of cleaning his own horse, and to a breakfast, perhaps, of salt pork, hard tack and boiled cof fee. Whether tho chief objects for which tho encampments aro held arc being accomplished or not, the work now put upon a national uuardsmau in Pennsylvania is rigorous and severe, So far as the amount of work and the hours devoted thereto arc concerned, it would not bo much harder in active ser vice. Teaching them to labor from early morning until night and to subsist on army ioou is easuy accompusueu. um this is not essential. It tends not only to disorganize their stomaohs, but often i t 1 !l - If v . 1 T, i to disgust them with tho service. Tho more essential object is, we iear, being neglected. Discipline is not being en torccd to mo extent that it should be; guard duty is lax, tho oiheers under standing it no better than the men, and making but little cltort to inform them selves. Tho Booncr tho militiamen aro taught that guard service is one of the most important of their duties, aud tho more they aro brought under strict military discipline in every respect, tho more cmcient will thoy become, in fact, until this is dono thoy will not bo efficient, and tho money will continue to be expended uselessly.

A deci sion was rendered by Judgo Mills, iu mo pouce conn oi una uny yesieruay, in tho civil rights caso of tho Rev, Georgo II. Smith, colored, of Norwich Conn., against James VY. Jiell, pro prietor ot a restaurant on I'ennsylva avenue. Tho groand ofcomphunt i that Bell had denied tho aocommoda tions of bis restaurant to tho plaintiff on account of tho latter's color, and suit was brought to enforce tho crimi ual provisions of tho act of March 1875. Tho court holds that undor tho common law an innkeeper is bound to tnko in and rectivo nil travelers am wayfarers, and that by the act o March 1, 1875, it is made a misdemea nor to discriminate against a traveler on account of raco or color, regardles of any previous condition or borvitude, A restaurant keeper has tho light to establish ceitain regulation as to hours for inoals and to designate certain places or seats for customers t but such hours and seats must bo tho same for all, or if any discrimination bo made it must bo made upon some principal or for some reason that tho law rccog. nlsied as lust and reasonable and not on nucount of colof, moo xr previous conditioli of herviludu. All guests Of an inn or rtstauraut must bp given i qual privileges, and Hid places desig nated for them must ho accessible to all respectable persons nt n uniform tato of charge. From theso principles ii ionows mat, me dciemient, in dis criminating against tho complainant, Smith, on account of his raoo and color was guilty of misdemeanor, nnd incur red tho penalty prescribed by tho so- cond section of tho civil Hunts net of 875. .Iildirement is entered iicnonllinr. ly. This caso is in some respects a no vel otic, bIiico it is tho first attempt to enforco the penalty under the second section of tho civil rights act, which makes violation of tho law a misdemea nor, mid it is tho iirst effort mado to enforce tho criminal provisions of tho law iu a territory where tho Concress of the United States has oxoulsivo and nbsolute legislative jurisdioation.

IE STOUV 1IY MA J OK OA.HKIK, TIIE CON KKpnUATE CHiNKItAT.. uxai fillings. Tho followim? episode in the life f John Wilkes Booth, related by our ar tist, Major Caskie, who scrvod tho Con federacy with distinction, dcrivos in terest from the light it sheds on tho spirit of America's terrible tragedian. It exposes a ripple of tho current on which Booth drifted helplessly into tho commission of his insane act by whioh tho return of pcaco and good will was delayed and the South committed to temporary decay. Of all the misfor tunes that befell tho South Booth was, perhaps, tho greatest. Aud yet it is doubtful if ho had any sincere friend ship for it. Though professing strong sympathy with its struggle he might havo participated in it as an honorable warrior, lie did not, howovcr, nnd his assassination of Lincoln, which, oxens ablo at no time, could only result in disaster to tho South, now that pcaco was concluded, must be regarded as the act of n madman whoso courage, liko Guiteau's, took direction only iu the lino'of bis insanity. Major Caskio re lates tho following facts : "Upon the announcement at Richmond, Virginia, f John Browns raid, tho Richmond grays were ordered to proceed at once Harper s i'erry. liotoro starting, tho guard in chargo of the train to pro- ent citizens irom accompanying tho troops, veported to tho quartermaster that they had discovered an actor in stage costumo concealed in tho baggage car. The stowaway was no less a personage than John Wilkes Booth, who was supposed to be supporting Maggio Mitchell on tho Richmond boards. To tho quartermaster ho stated that, seized with a desire to aid in stamping out abolitionism, ho had left between tho acts, and ho beggod not to bo ejected from the train, declaring that, while not a soldier, ho felt an irrosistiblo im pulse to aid in punishing 'the old scoundrel' who had attempted to preci pitate troublo upon the stato and coun try. Tho quartermaster remonstrated wiiu unu against leaving ino siock com pany witli whioh ho had been playing, and used every effort, short of force, to provent his going, liooth s purpose; howovcr, was indexible, nnd the quar termaster, not desiring to use forco against a person of so gentlemanly ad dress, consented to employ him in subordinate service, for which Bootli seemed very grateful. In camp tho actor, by strict attention to duty, na tural modesty nnd gentlemanly conduct wormed himselt into the good graces of the officers, many of whom, as for instance, Ueneral i urnor Ashby, Uolo nel Diok Ashby, tho General's brother, Major iiird Washington and (Japtain Horner, afterwards won high distinc tion., After tho removal of Brown to Chorlestown, scouts reported to Gener al -Taliaferro tho startling information that raiders, intent on tho rescue of tho celebrated prisoner, had crossed over from tho North, and thoy had observed signals by somtillations of light at n point in tho mountains some low miles distant. Several other parties corrobo rated tho statement made by tho scouts but nothing positivo could bo ascertain ed and the report created intense ex citement. Booth asked tho command ing officer to bo permitted to reconnoi ter the situation, and soma of the offi cers, vouching for his integrity, Talia lerro consented to tho proposition, Booth saw the lights aud shared tho opinion of tho scouts, but ho was de termined to fathom tho matter to its depth, so ho crawled to the placo under cover ot tho darkness, when, to his surprise, ho found that tho so-called signals wore merely sparks from tho chimney ot a littlo cabin occupied by an old couple, who were burning large chunks ot wood to keep comtortablo. Thoy said thoy had heard nothing of tho John lirotvn raid- and were igno rant of unusual proceedings from any quarter. Booth reported these facts to General Taliaferro, who seemed to dis credit them, nt which the former asked that ho sond some of tho scouts with him, upon whom ho had moro reliance, and assured him that their report would show that tho signals and tho supposed army ol rescuers wero nil iti mibtbus, This emphntlo challenge inclined Talia feno to tho beliof that Booth was tell mg tho truth, and, to make things doubly sure, ho sent tho Bcouts, who, with Booth, visited tho cabin. Horo one of tho scouts inquired of tho old ooiiplo if they had seen any pyrotech nic disnlavs in their neighborhood ro- cently. Thoy woro perfectly surprised at the question. A soldier man, whom thoy recoguizod as liooth, they said had presented himself the night boforo during tho wee, small hours and made the samo inquiries. General Taliaferro was satisfied with this solution of tho matter, and tho excitement blow over as suddenly as it had appeared, Booth remained with tho company uutil nftor tliu execution ot John lirown and then returned to theatrical life.

If pupils cannot bo obtained for the Stato Agricultural College without sneeinl effort It is iirutty 'good evidence that such n school is not wanted and thnt the state had better clo.io it anil devoto tho money now expended upon it to Homo other ttso. Tho oollcgo is not in good repute, nnd this no doubt deters young men from entering it. The other objection, mining from tho cost, inconvenience nnd dangorsnUoml lug a resldenoo awny from homo for four years, h a serious ono for tho pco pie in the circumstances of thoso who might bo expected to nvail themselves of such privileges. It is reasonably Certain that much better educational work would bo accomplished if tho ap propriation now made for the support of tno stato college wero devoted to helping to establish technical training schools iu tho chief manufacturing cities of tho stnte. It is not necessary that tho stato should pay all tho expen ses oi such education. Privato and corporato cntcrpriso could easily bo in voked to bear tho brunt ot tho under taking if the state should offer to assist, and tno greater amount of useful work could bo dono in night classes, for tho reason that thoso who aro to bo bene fited nro generally employed during tho day. A comprehensive system of state aid for such schools, which would bo all the bettor if thoy wero not entirely free, would doinllmtely moio good than tho maintninanco of a third or fourth tlass collcgo which pupils cannot be persuaded to attend. Prom San Francisco. TIIK CITr FILLED WITH V1S1TINO KNII1IITS TEMl'I.AIt. A telegram from San Franoiseo under dato of Saturday says that tho city had been alive all tho week with preparations for the conclave of tho Knights Tem plar. Many commandcrics had net ar rived, but it was expected all would bo on the ground by Sunday night. Tho number ot visitors will bo larger than tho most 8angnino anticipated. It was estimated that 10,000 Kuights would march in the street parade on Monday and that the procession will be the finest display seen since tho demonstra tion in honor of General Grant four years ago. Thursday night tho exer cises of tho week opened with a ball at the pavilion, which was well attended. Uiie sensible move is thntot tho display of California fruit. It will bo mado in tho pavilion. As tho fruit season is at its height the exhibition will be ono of tho best advertisements tho btnte could have. There is also open a mineral ex position of tho Pacific coast, gotten up by the Stato mineralogist, which is well worth a visit. Tho streets havo been lavishly decorated along the line of tho parado and oven tho unsavory Chinese quarters were cleaned and fumigated Friday night. Tho haunts of the Mon golians were visited Saturday by many of tho Knights. Thero was a perform ance given at the leading Chinese thea tre to which only whito persons wero admitted. The star Mongolian actor, supported by a good company and an ear-splitting orchestra, furnished the ontertainment. Tho visiting Knights will have a good opportunity to see tho best parts of tho State, as excursions havo been planned to the chief resorts within n hundred miles of tho city at very low rates. The first religious services, under tho auspices of tho Knights Templar, wero hold in tho pavilion Sunday afternoon. Thero was a terrible crush, 8,000 people being in tho building nnd 4,000 outside, who continued to make an eltort to ob tain an entrance Although a large polico foroe was present, they woro un able to control the crowd, tho greater number of officers being employed in carrying off fainting women and chil dren. The interior of tho pavilion was so hot that beforo tho services wero half over peoplo commenced streaming out. Expressions oi mauktuiness wero re peatedly heard from thoso who managed to escapo being crushed to death. This was the hrst ovideuco or mismanage ment on tho part of tho committee, who permitted twice too many tickets to bo issued. Tho robbery of tho Yosemito stago in the early part of tho week, just as it was entering tho valley, was on unfor tunate event.

Thoy aro thought to bo Mono county horso thioves, and officers aro on their track. On tho day following the stage was upsot near tho valley and several passengers wero badly hurt. The sin gular leature ot thoo occurrences is that this is tho hrst robbery ever known on the stage lino into tho valloy, and this is tho first serious accident to a coach. ITEMS.
