We frequently see it stated in the papers
of both parties that the next Legislature will
be calleJ on to divide the State into Senator
ial and Representative district. This is a
misapprehension. The constitution requires
an apportionment of the State to le made
every seventh year, and as the last one was
made in 1854, it is plain l-hat the next one
will not take place until the session of 1871.
Tna editor of the Johnstown Tribune is
Trry much mistaken if he supposes that we
have been induced to change cur views in
regard to tiie District Court question, lecaui9
we did not again refer to the subject in cur
lt issue. We have neither real anything
in that paper nor have we heard anything
from any other source at all calculated to
produce a change in our opinion relative to
the exorbitant price charged for Union Hall.
We never intimated that any undue influ
ence had been used to induce the leasing of
that building, we did not view it as an act
of favoritism, nor did we drag politics into
the discussion of the subject, but treated it
simply as a question effecting the interests
of the tax-payers of the county. We ex
pressed our opinion plainly, and an we can
see no good that can result from its further
discussion, we do not intend nain to refer
to it.
On t wo or three occasions we have referred
to the appointment by President Grant of
James Li. Ashley as Governor cf Munt&n
Territory. It was a most disgraceful selec
tion, and 13 bo regarded by. the whole coun
try. It is among the strangest of Grant's
singular appointments, and oue that reflects
deep dishonor ou the administration. Ash
ley will have a hot time of it in the Territo
ry, lla recently made a statement that he
did not own any town lots or quartz proper
ty in that region. The Gazdle, published at
Helena, the capital of the Territory, refers to
this statement in the following style:
Now, one thing is certain : Mr. A. must
have the poorest memory of any man living,
or be oue of the greatest liars of the age .'
We would not deem it important to give any
notoriety to this oue horse, played-out car
jet-bag politician, were it not for the fact
that he has been sent out to Montana as a
ijiisfionary in the cause of Radicalism, and
for the purpose of evangelizing the Democra
cy. Hence we meet him at tho threshold,
and denounce him according to his demerits.
No political hutnbugger need come here
sounding his own hora, and expecting to pro
selyte the hardy miners to th doctrine of
negro equality, and equality with Chinamen,
Tartars and Mongolians. The American
population of Montana is Christian, and can
not be made to worship at the ehrine of Josh
or Jiin Ashley.
He does not come here with clean hands,
lie says he owns no quartz, lie lies. Tho
evidence stands out in bold relief against him
ia the Recorder's office of Lewis and Clark
county. Let him pray to God for forgive
ness of his past 6ins. Let him reform his
morals, and once iu his life do hia best to be
honest and decent, and all will be well with
him. By virtue of the organio act and an
unfavorable Providence, he is the legal Gov
ernor of Montana. But woe be unto him if
he undertakes to cut high old Radical fan
tastic tricks in this glorious, free aud inde
pendent Territory; for should he da so.
mountains might fall upon him and iu vain
screen him from the wrath of an indignant
people.
Governor Geary.
It may now be regarded as a foregone
conclusion, that John W. Geary will be re
Dominated as the radical candidate for Gov
ernor by the convention of his party, which
is to meet in Philadelphia on Wednesday of
next week. There has been a good deal of
talk and bluster in his own party in opposi
tion to his again being a candidate , and much
crimination and recrimination on that ques
tion has taken place. That ho is by far the
weakest candidate that his party could nom
inate is apparent, for many reasons which
we will not now discuss at length. There
will be a time for that. That he is intellec
tually weak and in vanity and telf-impor-tance
unequalled and indeed unapproach
able, is not to be questioned. That he will
bo defeated, as he ought to be, we do not en
tertain a doubt.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, a
leading radical paper, in a recent article on
this subject, uses tho following plain and
significant language :
"Without possessing a single qualification
for the office, withous having the respect of
any significant portion of the people of the
Commonwealth, and devoid cf every quality
which should recommend hini for such a
high position, the sublimity of his impudence
and bis grasping need alone inducs him to
thrust himself forward as a candidate for
Governor. The slave of the "Ring," tnd
their willing coadjutor, he ia for them the
most fitting instrument, and he will, it is
feared, receive their nomination. But they
BDd he must clearly understand that he is
not and cannot be the choice of the great
Republican party, whom for one term ho has
already shamefully misrepresented. The
email ward politicians may possibly foist him
tipon u, but just as certain aa they do ju6t
so certain will our party organization see in
the nomination of John W. Geary the defeat
of Its principles, and the State will, for one
gubernatorial te;ca t letst, low tho benefits
of Republican influence. The Republican
party is a gnat and powerful organization,
and it may not be lightly broken down; but
while it was sufficiently strong to send to the
field scores upon scores of regiments, to spend
scores of millions of dollars in perpetuating
the Union, yet it is not strong enough to
stand another term of the misrule of the pre
sent Governor."
If, after all that, the Radical party will
persist iu namiug the "fool cf fortune" for
re-election, we can only say that "Barkis is
willing," and we shall te much better satis
fied cf its conbistency than we should be did
they select a man having common sense and
common decency. The TtLgraph further
adde :
"The opposition see our weakness ir John
W. Geary, ai;d are aheady iakiug advantage
of it. They will put lurwarJ in the contest
no mere party hack no creature of their
"Ring." They recognize the fact that the
people are tired of imbecility and want of
character in their CLif Magistrate, and they
mean to nominate a man of character and
capacity. With fuch a candidate arrayed
against John W. Geary, their task will be
an easy one. They will have the triumph
and we the defeat."
Tlic Washington Blot.
On last Monday week, the 7th instant, an
election was held in Washington City for
Collector, Register, Surveyor and members
cf the City Council. What then and there
transpired is fully detailed in the following
dispatches telegraphed from that city, on the
day cf the election, to the New York IVurld.
It was a disgraceful affair, and is one cf the
natural fruits of the negro suffrage experi
ment. From all the account we have read
of what took plac9 on that day, as well as
the events that preceded it, it seems that the
conduct cf John W. Forney and a few of hi
choice associates was the inciting cause thit
provoked the wild scene of riot and blood
shed. It is not the first time that Forney'
incendiary conduct and reckless speeches to
the negroes of that city have been calculated,
if not intended, to product turmoil and dis
turbance at the poll. lie is peculiarly fit
ted for such dirty and disreputable work,
and is a perfect master of all the kw arts of
the most groveling demagogue. There could
be no bettor field for his operations in this
respect than amongst the cegroei who have
congregated in Washington since the close
of the war.
This was puiely a negro riot. There is no
pretence whatever that any insult waseffur
ed by any white man to any negro voter, or
that any white man attempted in any way
to interfere with the election. The negroes
in their clubs had determined, under the
teachings of their white leaders, that no ue
gro should vote what was called the citizens'
ticket, unless at the risk of personal injury
being inflicted upon htm. When it wasdis
covered that one of their class, named Steu"
art, intended to vote ths.t ticket, ho was at
tacked by the excited and infuriated black
rabble, and then the riotous and disgraceful
scene commenced. We look for a repetition
of these election riots in the Southern States.
All that has prevented them heretofore is
that the elections in these States have been
held under the overawing power and influ
ence of the bayonet. When that potent in
strument for the preservation of order ia re
moved, the ignorant negroes, under the
mischievous teachings of the white carpet
baggers, wiil re-enact the bloody scenes that
disgraced the national capital on Monday
week. We hope for better things, but all
experience teaches that like causes will rro
duce like results.
Wasiiiwgtos, June 7, 1SC0.
The local government of the capital of the
country passed to-day, amid f cents of arson
and riot and bloodshed and death, into the
hands of the negroea. The inflammatory
appeals of John W. Forney isnd his Chroni
cle and Mayer Buwon to the prejudices of
the ignorant Africans who swarm in this
District, did their work to day, end nothing
bat a well-managed and efficient Metropoli
tan Police force has saved the city ."rom an
extensive and fearful riot. Fortunately for
the whits population the day's bloodshed
wa3 the result of a contest between the riot
era, on the ore band, and the police on the
other, both belonging to the Radical party.
Last night the negroes commenced to con
gregate at the polling precincts, so as to hold
theui this morning in long lines, which they
did to the exclusion of tho white voters.
During the night, the store of a candi
date on the Citizens' ticket, in the First
Ward, wes et on fire and burned up. Invol
ving a loss of eight thousand dollars. The
ri"t of to day shows th3 motive and class
which prompted this incendiarism.
The election proceeded iu the several wards
up to two o'clock with an unusual amount
of rioting, but nothing serious occurred until
about three p. m., when the negroes in the
Second Ward, in pursuance of the dictation
of the white Radical loaders and by consul
tation .during tho night, determined not to
allow any colored man to vote the Citizens'
or Democratic ticket, though a man heads
that ticket who is not, and nover has been, a
Democrat. It having been ascertained that
a colored man named Stuart, employed as a
porter in a store, intended to vote the Citi
zens' ticket, a mob of negroes armed with
bricks and stones proceeded to the premises
and attempted to seiZ9 Stuart, amid cries of
hang and lynch him. Stuart fled to a dwell
ing over the storo. This was assaulted, and
the family occupying it were driven out. By
this time the Superintendent of Police and
a mounted force arrived on the ground,
formed lines in front of the house, and kept
the crowd back. The Superintendent of
Police, having sent tolStuart to know if he
wished to come out, received from him an
answer in the affirmative. The police force
were' then ordered to clear the crowd from
the front of the building, which they did
with considerable difficulty, the crowd shout
ing : "Here he comes, the s n of a b ;
hang him." Maj r Richards, the Superin
tendent of Police, having taken his position
at the front door of the store, Stuart in a
few minutes appeared, which was the aignal
for the crowd to make a dash at him, but
they were beaten off by the mounted men,
and the dismounted men formed a hollow
square around Stuart, who was in company
with the Superintendent, and the police and
Staart commenced to march off in that order.
Tho crowd whooped, swore, and threatened
to mob Stuart, and it required all tho exer
tions of the mounted men to keep him from
being lynched cn the spot, lie was finally
taken to another precinct and allowed to
vote.
This seemed to enrage the mob, who sud
denly grew jn proportions and rnshed ont of
tie adjacent alleys ia gwaroca, s,rDd with
razors, stones, clubs, and firearms, and sent
a volley at the Superintendent of Police and
Stuart.
A pistol-shot was fired at the Supeiinten
dent. The mounted police then drove the
mob back, but reinforced, - they came up
Thirteenth street, near K street drove the
police a little. There were successive vol
leys of stouts and brickbats fired at the po
lice, who still fell back from the ;nfuriated
demons, who taunted and yelled defiant
oaths at thera, crying. "Kill 'era ! kill 'em!"
"Knock down the damn blue-coated white
trash!" &c.
The officers cf tLe force, realizing that
prompt measures should be taken to put
down the riot, now assuming alarming pro
portions, abandoned the de feuMve they had
too long Maintained, and fired a volley at the
mob. By ibis time. Urge crowds of specta
tors had filled the sidewalks aud streets, and
the filing by the police created a regular
panic. Men flew into the houses, jumped
ido tho yards, run down alleys, got behind
tree boxes, and sought every means of es
cape. Women aud childreu ran under the
door-steps, half frightened to death, while
several colored worren were trampled down
by the mob. Caninges in the etreet were
suddenly whirled about and driven pell-mell
away. One fst gentleman was riding iu a
barouche, and, finding that the driver could
not go fast enough, jumped ont. right ii to
the mob, by whom he was Liuissd not a
little.
The first volley, which was fired in front
of the residence of the Secretary of the Brit
ish Legation, corner of Thirteenth and K
streets created a little lull, but when the
mob discovered that two of thtir uumber
had been thot down, they came up cry ing
and. yelling and hurling ttones and bricks iu
gre-iter force than ever. They fired n few
stray thots, hitting, a horse in the flank and
inflicting a llesh Wound on a policeman. A
mounted officer, who accidentally got de
tached from the force, was most inhumanly
beaten with stones and bricks, and succeed -ed
in dragging himself into an alley. The
tiountad force charged again cn the ur.'b.
firing a few shots, and slightly wounding
several, but diivir.g the riotets a square
away. The police then moved up and d )wn
the crowd, who teemed afraid to tene.v the
attack. The Mayor of the city, Bowe-j, ar
rived on the ground at this point, and a ytil
went up from a gang cf ueu.ro rufli.ms on
the sidewalk cf "Here's out Mayor," "B-'s.
let's give thf cit'zi-n's hell," "Let's kill every
damned Democrat."
Tiny failed, even with Bowen's presence,
to renew the ik,t. arid the police held the
scene of the mob rule in peace thereafter.
The casualties' are not exactly known.
Two negroes were fatally wounded, four
severely wounded, and half a dozen slightly
wounded. The police were cut, bruised and
maimed, and the Superintend? nt is suffering
badiy this evening. Too much praise can
not b& awarded to the police fur their pa
tience, coolness, and decisive action.
A fur all was quiet Pietident Grant rode
to the hccne of the riot.
Iu the Seventh Ward, two hours after the
above riot, thd police put down another at
tempt to incite un b-law by promptly shoot
ing a negro who started to lynch a man.
Th;re were minor riots all ever the town
during ttie day and to night.
Of course, the nt-gro ticket is elected.
Every ward is repreocuted in the City Coun
cils by a negro. The colored barber at Wil
lard's is Alderman fiorn tn First Ward.
The negro head waiter at the National is
Councilman from the Fourth Ward. Those
are fair samples.
Let no Northern man, be he Democrat or
Rennb'ican. for hi life or his cronertv set
f w ai
hia foot in Washington with a dollar : for
under the municipal rule row in force,
neither is safe. Before this riot, capitalists
have shunned this place- Let them do so
forever more. The town is doomed and
damned.
LToSBIBLS OUTBAGB AND MURDER 37 A
Nkgro. A correspondent cf the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Ltnington, Va., nn.
der date of the 9th inst., gives the following
particulars of a terrible outrage and murder
committed within a few miles of that place
by a negro on the evening cf the Oth inst. :
Our community ha3 been shocked by a
horrille crime which was perpetrated s me
eight miles below here, on Sunday evening
last. The confession of the negro and other
incontrovertible testimony e'.icit the follow
ing facts : Miss Suss.n Kite, a young lady of
high respectability, was cn her way to
church, when a negro named Jesse Edwards
met with her, dragged her into the woods,
outraged her person, aud then murdered her,
and threw her body into the tiver. Suspicion
fell upon the negro, and when, after pursuit,
he was arrested, hs confessed the murder,
but insisted it was in self dffense. He told
where the body could be found. It has leeu
recovered, ami the examination before the
coroner revealed the full enormity of the
crime. The negro now makes full confess
ion, but, even without hia confession, the
proof of guilt is conclusive.
The fisnd was lodged in jiil on yesterday,
and was this morning brought before the
Mayor and committed for trial. The fact
that he was tot lynched, but permitted to
take the rlow process of trial, and pardon by
Wells, sf eaks volumes for the disposition of
our pecple to submit to even badly tdminis
tered liws,
TLe young lady was about eighteen years
old, and bore a high character in the com
munity. Five of her brothers loft their
lives in the Confederate army. Alas ! that
they should have fallen in a struggle which
has resulted in such a state of things as that
a negro dare perpetrate such an outrage,
and go snwhipt of" justice.
In Rhode Island a white man cannot vote
unless he is the owner cf one hundred and
thirty-four dollars' worth of real estate; yet,
at the next seshion of the Legislature, the
Radicals will adopt the fifteenth constitu
tional amendment, by which ail the worth
less negroes in the State can deposdte their
votes in the ballot-box. In the estimation
of the Rhode-Island Radicals, a white man
must own a house and lot in order to be
equal in value and importance to a negro,
who is "simple beauty unadorned." Every
thing for the negro, nothing for white men,
is the motto of the Radical party. In Wash
ington men are beaten and shot, and cut and
hacked, in order to put the Capital of the
nation under regro domination, and the same
spirit is manifested in ali parts of the coun
try. The question is no longer, shall the
negro be equal with the white man 1 He
claims tupericrity, and the Radicals admit
the claim. Phila. Age.
An Institution. Oak Hall has become
one of the "institutions" of the City of
Brotherly Love. Many people have been or
pretended to be concerned for the perman
ency cf the establishment from its very be
ginning ; but every year it has grown iu
Biae, in efficiency and in the favor of the
people, until now after ten years experience
it stands head and shoulders above anything
of the kind in the State if not in the whole
country ; and all lovers of good clothes are
glad to have such an institution to which
they can. resort.
Tlie Grand IVind-rj? Iu Boston.
Boston is about to give out the hymn ; let
the rest of mankind handle their psalm
books. Boston is about to raise the tune ;
let "frogpond" clap its hands, and Bunker
hill be joyful altogether. Boston is about to
lead in prayer ; let the gentiles draw near,
pull off thir hts, and listen to the most elo
quent petition that was ever addressed to a
human audience. Boton has proclaimed a
great National Peace Jutiloe, "to be held in
the city of Boston, June 15th, 16ih and 17th
of the present Anno Domini, to commemo
rate the restoration of peace throughout the
land. Boston is arranging a grand oi chestr a
of one thousand musicians, the first to sing
national airs and hymns cf peace, and the
last to swell the aforesaid national airs and
hymns to ccsmical dimensions. Boston is
erecting an immense coliseum, capable of
accommodating over fifty thousand persons,
f jr the occasion, to be magnificently decora
ted with emblems expressive of Boston no
tions, sentiments, ideas and emotions. B s
ton invite the rest of mankind to attend and
participate in its enjoyments, at the ruinously
low figurs of one hundred dollars the season
ticket, admitting three persons, or thirty
three dollars, thirty three cents and a vulgar
fraction for each individual. Boston is about
to do the thing in style; but like the thrifty
cor.s jrt cf the renowned Gilpin, while the is
bent cn pleasure, she retains her frugal dis
position, and intends to realizs a profit on Ler
anthems and thanksgivings.
Boston rejoiced greatlj over the war.
She led the timbrel!;, and headed the dance
which circled around the cauldron when the
poi.-ronotis mixture which made men blood
thirsty was preparing. Of all the ntxious
ingredients that entered into the compound,
hers whs the moot deadly. Although she
.lid not manifest superior alacrity iu -tending
her sons to the conflict, sho sang the war
song, danced the war dance, and screamed
the'war whoop with a vigor and persiteuey
that left nothing to le deiied. Her clergy
breathed forth thrt-atenings and slaughter
from the pulpit. Her learned pcndit per
ambulated the land, blowing the war trum
pet from the platforms of lectuie halls;
making merchandize of their be'ligerent
sentinels, at tho price of fifty cents for the
admission. Her senators and representa
tives took the lead iu every measure which
strved to make war inevitable, and to foster
and intensify the ev.l passions and cruel
hatreds which war is' calculated to awaken.
Boston has attained her ends, and Boston
is satisfied. She did nothing topromute the
return cf peace ; she doing what lies in her
power to make the people only formal. The
country is only formally at peace, not ac
tually. It is the peace of exhaustiou, not of
consent, the badges of which aro the priva
tions cf right, political constraint and mili
tary despotism. But.it is a peace that is
after the heart of Boston, and therefore
Boston proposes to celebrate it with songs
and thanksgivings; with the "greatest ftatt
of sublime and inspiring harmony that has
ever been heard in any part of the world."
As Boston was inspired with an ardent love
of the beauties of war, so no w Boston is in
spired with an ardent love of the beauties cf
peace. She discovers that all mankind are
brethren. She wonders how they could
have done otherwise than love each other.
She is willing to embrace the survivors of
those whom she sent forth her bands to de
stroy, to admit to thare in her rejoicings
provided they pay the regular fees for ad
mission th se whom sha labored to im
poverish ; and to show the whole world how
little malice she had against tho.e whose
destruction she sought to accomplish.
Magnanimous Boston, who takes the lead in
celebrating the close of tho temple cf Janus
when it was no longer in their power to keep
it opeu, Hud who, finding war times no long
er marketable, sets her organ to a peace
melody, grinds awaj with the air of a com
poser, and passes around the Lat with the
confidence of a benefactor.
There is no objection to the mnsic:ans of
B'jotou assembling together and making all
the harmonious uproar of which they and all
the machinery they are able to press into
the service are capable. There is no objec
tion to putting as high a price as they please
upon their performances, and making outcf
them all the profit of which the thing is
susceptible. But a celebration such as is
contemplated, upon the predicate adopted
a grand national festival on the restoration
of peace throughout the land aud that, cf
all places iu the world, in Boston, is. beyond
measure, impudent aud insolent. Si. Louis

Twitcuell Once More. A Philadelphia
correspondent of a New York paper, signing
himself "Vidocq," relates the following con
cerning the late Geo. S. Twitohell, Jr.;
Thit Twitch ell was a most consummate
knave and hypocrite, and a vil'ain to the
last, is shown ia the remark made to a visit
or ; "I would as leave go to as submit
to these pious exhortations every day, bet 1
must stomach them." This was said imme
diately after the innocent youth, who merely
helped to throw the body of the old woman
out cf the window, had bliown such dap
contrition aa induced the worthy clergyman
to believe that his charge kad already caught
a glimp-e of Paradise.
Such was the vileness and hypocrisy cf
the man. We may know some day how
Mrs. Hill was murdered. Oue who had the
confidence cf George tells rne the poker was
not ui-ed. Then the story of the slucg-shot
made in Camden and found in the house, is
strengthened. The public should know all
about the murder.
We understand that Mr. John O'Byrne
has now in his possession the instrument
with which the murder was committed; that
Twitchell directed him to the spot in which
it was concealed ; and that the murderer
also made a confession to him, which if it
was made public, would entirely relieve
Mrs. Twitchell of odium. Why doesn't Mr.
O'Byrne come out ? Philadelphia Star.
Archbishop Manning and Dr. Cnm
mings of the millennium two very differ
ent characters agree in calling attention to
one fact. The archbishop ia a recent Fermon
claimed that Catholicism was making rapid
progress in England, and as proof stated that
within a very short petiud eleven new
churches had been added to the Diocese of
Westminster. Ia the matter cf Catholic
conversions. Dr. Cummings points out, as
one cf the "signs of the times." that Arch
bishop Manning has converted 2,400 persons
in London alone. Of this number, nineteen
had been clergymen of the Church of Eng
land, ten were graduates of Oxford and
Cambridge, and two were noblemen.
IIakt on Ultbses. A horrible minor
comes from Boston. Ir is said that a circu
lar has been issued calling a general meeting
on Monday of wholesale and retail liquor
dealers, hotel and boarding house proprie
tors, and all parties either directly or indi
rectly interested in the sale of liquor, tutake
into consideration; in consequence of the
passage of the 'Prohibitory bill, tho propriety
of refusing to Bell, as the law commauds. a
single drop of spirituous or malt liquor du

Albert Raselv, a farmer bey, was in

It is significant cf the tendency cf our
government that the present Briti.-h minister
is to be superseded by one of higher rank,
who, it is believed, will be, on that account,
more acceptable to the pr-teat administra

in Southern Arizona, published duriDg the
past thrte months, show that forty warriors
have been killed, a number cf their fa.niiies
captured and immense quantities cf Indian
