It was peopled by tho wanderers from every stato and was now with over 8,000,000 people, placing In tho ballot box over 100,000 democratio majority.

An interesting discovery has been mado by Thomas Ailing nt tho old Benedict Arnold house in Water street. In tnkiug out u portion ot tho garret lioor Jin lound a vault which is taippos-. ed to havo boon used by Arnold dur ing tho wur of tho revolution ns n hid ing placo for suspects or lugitives whom ho wished to befriend. Tho lifting of sorao of tho garret floor planking revealed the pocket or vault underneath. It is about four and one- half feet deep and six feet square, nnd is plastered on tho aides. Two or more persons could remain in concealment thoro without being crowded. Tho vault is located by tho side ot tho large old-lashionod chimney. Un tho iloor adjacent to tlio vault former. ly stood a largo bookcase, and it is supposed that through this cnlrnnco was obtained to tho hiding place, in dido the vault aro plain evidences of a former staircaso extending to a small enclosed space on another side of tho $180,100,477.01. Mr. Allison stated that tho total amount for this year at 5rJii,2Ul,US7.13. Tho discrepancy be tween Mr. Randall's total and that of Mr. Allison is accounted for by tho fact that Mr. Allison assumed a furth er appropriation for tho narv to cover tho last six mon'.hs of tho current fiscal year. Adding this amount, which is nearly $8,000,000, and tho S0G.O0O, 000 unexpended balances of former ap printions for pensions reappropriated brings tho grand total appropriated for tho fiscal year already entered upon to $250,201,087 as stated by Mr. Alli son, and tho courage of men who lovo their country accepted the verdict of tho fraud and were grand er to-day In their retirement than the men who profited by the fraud. Tho democratic party would bo In power to-day but for republican gold and notes, notes fresh and uncut from Washington the money ot the Star routes attesting to the ve nality ot the republican party.

Our esteemed contemporary, tho JSeening l'ost, in a series of articles in which candor and acuteness have kent oven sten. brinirs out verv clearlv tho tact that Air. Ulaino told nt (inter- cut times two entirely different stories about his connection with tho Little ownership of tho Ltttlo Rook bonds nnd if our recollection is right this very statement was subsequently incorpora ted at his own request into his sworn testimony buforo tho invcsllgatlhgcom mltttco ho had no renson to supposo thnt his own letters to Mr. Wairen J. Fisher, jr., would uver sec the light ngain, or that tho memorandum ot Mr. Fishers bookkeeper, air. Juullignn, would ovor bo produced for the infor mation of n committee of congress. Ho theieforo took high ground. Tho ru mor that ho whs tho owner of of $150,- 000 or more of theso bonds was absurd. Ho had bought somo of tho bonds not a very largo amount pnying mon ey for them precisely as overy other investor did, nnd at tho market price. Had it como to this, he demanded, thnt nu American citizen was to bo exclud ed from n perfectly honorablo nnd open business investment merely becnuso ho happened to bo n representative in con gress f Mr. Blaine's indignation wns ns lofty ns tho sentiment which ho ad vanced wns virtuous : "Whero conceal niont is desirable avoidance is advisable." Yet it w&s destined thnt within six weeks Mr. Blaino should bo forced to read in tho house a letter written and signed by himself showing tho exact sizo of tho "small amount" of his hold ings in Littlo Rock nnd Fort Smith bonds n small amount, ns ho said, paid for in cash nt tho market price, nnd magnified by absurd rumor to something ovor $150,000. On Octo ber I, 1871, ho wroto to Mr. l'ishcr: 1 have befn treated with positive cruelty In re gard to tho bonds.

It nppcars that tho "absurd rumor" ns to the amount wns nbout right. But if Mr. Blaino hnd paid in cash for his $lo7,000 of bonds, just liko overy oth er investor, and nt tlio open market price, how was it possible for Josiah Caldwell nnd Warren Fisher, jr., to defraud him of his rights? How did it happen that tho Boston capitalists wero in a position to trent tho innocent nnd simple-minded legislator with positivo cruelty 1" 1 ho nnswer is aflorded by tho mem orandum in Mr. Blaine's handwriting showing thnt ho did not pay n dollar for his Jiittlo Kock bonds, but receiv ed them as .1 gratuity or commission ; and further light is allorded by Mr. Blaino himself in 0110 of tho Mulligan letters : Mr Drak Mn. FisnEH : Your offer to admit me ton participation In the new railroad enter prise Is In every respect as generous as I could ex pect or desire. I thank you very sincerely for It.

Tho maxim which Mr. Blaino laid down for tho government of his rela tion with speculative enterprises may bo slightly improved to lit his caic "Whero avoidanco would have been advisable nnd concealment is urgently necssnry, silence is tho best policy until the memorandum books havo all been produced."

At somo points thero wero heavy falls of hail, and tho rain badly washed out tuo roads ana tields. Among tho sufferers is Levi S. Roist, 111 tho vicinity of Uregon, whoso to bacco sheds wero blown down ; his or chard was badly damaged and over one hundrod locusttrces wero uprooted. Simon Hosteller's losses in fruit trees, fences, wheat, grass and other crops, nour Oregon is estimated at one thous and dollars, lictweeu NelTsvillo and Now Haven at Long's farm the barn was blown down. Fenstermaoher's to bacco shed was moved from its foun dation. A stono barn was blown to pieces with tho exception of ono of tlio gable end walls. At Neffsville, Mr. llerr's cron of tobacco was cut to pieces by hail. Two dwelling houses belong' ing to Daniel Herr, near NclTsville, had their gables blown in. Tho roof of tho barn was torn off and tho crops greatly damaged. Nearly all tho trees Vermont and it was adopted. A reso lution was then ottered and adopted for tho appointment of a committee on credentials, permanent organization and platiorm. it was also ordered that all resolutions in regard to tho platform bo referred to that committee without disoussion.

Congress will not taj Mr. Hayes' Bill, Bpeclal dlapatcli to tuo Times. Washinoton, July 1. An amend mcnt inserted in tho dcllcienoy bill by tho Senato and dofeated in tho House to-day recalls tho stirring times in Louisiana in 1877, when two Stato Governments wero fighting for tho con trol of affairs. Tho amendment ap propriated three thousand dollars to reimburso Ex-President Hayes for mon ey spent by him to pay tho exponses of tho commissioners who went to Louisiana to investigate and report upon tho troubles thero. Hayes paid tho money out of his own pocket and has been trying to get it back over since, by means of a Congressional ap- salo denial under oath which had been tho first rcfugo of tho inculpated states- mon profited them nothing; in the light ot the subsequent disclosures it simply added perjury to their load of shamo. Mr. Blaine mado tho samo mistake. in April, layo, when tho repot t was tirst circulated that Mr. Thomas bcott had taker, off his hands, for SG4.000, bonds of tho Littlo Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company of tho faco value of 75,000, Mr. Blaino hastened to his feet in tho houso of representa tives with a personal explanation, it was mado 011 April 24, 1801, and it is printed on page 2,725 of volume 4, part 3, of tho Congressional Ilecord. Mr. lilaino then said along tho Lititz olko wero uprooted or propriatlon. uepreseniauvo calkins twisted off. Dauiel Herr'n woods, of made a Btrong appeal for Hayes, though five acres, has hardly a tree left stand ing in it, tho trunks being twisted off several feet from tho ground. Mrs. Henry Shifsler's barn near Petersburg, was torn to pieces, and Martin Hess' born unroofed. Joseph Buckwalter's barn in Manheim township, was de molished, his carriages crushed and bis orchard ruined. ho did not claim that the beneficiary was greatly in ueed of tho money. But Randall put his foot down hard on tho paragraph, declaring that thero was no law For making such an appropriation. It was quite noticcablo that in referring to Hayes, Randall spoko of him as Rutherford B. Hayes, and not as Ex president Hayei.

Scott received his t"5,000. Tho statement Is gratuitously and utterly (also. "The littlo Kock and l'ort smith company re ceived a grant Irora tho state, Finally, toward tho close of low, a company ot Boston gentlemen, representing considerable capital, un dertook Its construction. In raising tho requite means they placed the bonds ot the road on the New England market In tho summer ot lM'J, oner. Ing them on terms which seemed very favorable to tho purchaser, and ottering them at a time when Investments ot this kind wero tutally popu lar. In common with UuMrtiU of other jieople In Xeie Itovlaiui ana other lKtrtt f the country, I bought tome vj these bonds nut 11 try large atnowU paying for thnn at precisely the tame rates that otliers paid. "I never heard and do not believe that tho Little Hock Company which I know Is controlled by honorable men over patted with a bond to any person except at the regular prlco flied for tho sale. ' Sly whole connection with tho road has been open as the day. If thero had been any. thing to conceal about It, I should never have touched It. Wherever concealment is desirable avoidanco Is advisable, and I do not know any but ter test to apply to tho honor and fairness ot a business transaction." After putting this noble sentiment into tho form of nn apothegm, Mr. Ultimo summed up his denial : "Instead ot receiving bonds of the Uttle Hock and Fort Smith road as a gratuity, I never had one except at tho regular market price, uud In. steadot malting a largo fortune out of that com pany, I have Incurred a sevcro pecuniary loss from my Investment in Its securities, wnlcu I still retain.

Application of Paul Forlner, nilinlnlstrn nuttcriiillU an n Summer IlrluU. In the warm summer weather mr.ny per sons feel an Irresistible craving for some thing sour and often gratily this deslro by free Indulgence in pickles or vegetables made acid with vinegar. This demand for acids Indicates a deficiency In tbe acid bc- cretlons of the stomach, and tho demand for an artlllcial supply Is a natural one, but vlnegnr Is not tho best substitute. Lactic acidity is one of tho chief agents that gives ncldlty to tho gastric juice of the stomach in health. This Is the acid of sour milk, and therefore one of tho best summer diet drinks that we can use Is but termilk. It satisfies the cravings for acids by giving to the stomach a natural supply, and at tho same time furnishes In Its cheesy matter n good supply of wholcsorao nutrition.
