So far as I am prtoail; concerned, these people hare treat ed m with ublfrm kindaesa and .courtesy, and 1 will not hart tbm. Extiact Irom the speech of Abraham Kopelin, Siq., at the Jctmatowa meeting. It was Tery kiad acd coralderate, but very hypocritical, on the part cf Mr. Kopelin to thus publicly announce that he would not hurt the people cf ELerfburg. In view of hit disclaimer of 8ny hostile intentions towards our people, it is fnir to presume that the people of this "ubeolete village," will now breathe freer and deep er ; and in their name, therefore, we ten der him their most profound feelings of consideration and respect. His counter feit magnanimity has relieTe-J our "pec-pie" from a great impending calamity, and for this we know that their hearts yearn to ward "Fathir Abraham" with the most enlarged feelings of gratitude, as well as reverence. Although he is one of the principal actors in the play known as The Removal Farce" and although be is doing his "level best" to promote the suc cess of that contemptible outrage, we wish him distinctly to understand, that when he seriously undertakes to uhurt the people of Ebensburg" he is going into a very lacge field of young corn with a very small and diminutive hoe. The Attorney General of the United States, E. R. Hoar, resigned bis office cd day last week, and Grant" has ap pointed as his successor a man from Geor gia by the name of Auos T. Acrekman. The old question ngain arises, as it did when the Radical leaders were bewildered and dumbfounded at the appointment of Eorie, Kobison and Belknap as Cubinet It seems that b was burn in New Hamp shire that at an early age he removed to Georgia studied law with John Mc Fbehson 13 tu pi f.n, at one time a Whig Senator of the United States was a rebel sympathizer during the war served on the military staff of Gen. Toombs and that his political disabilities as a Southern sym pathizer were removed by an act of Con gress duriuc th session of 18G8-9. This Is Acklrman's hittory in brief. ;" As a Democrat we care nothing about Grant's appointments, singular and in comprehensible as they have been. The President himself is admitted by his own political friends to be the weakest and most unintellectual man who has everoc copied the Presidential chair. His whole aim and purpose Bee ma to have been from the outeet of his administration to have no man in bis cabinet who possessed more claims to statesmanship than himself, and in this stroke of policy he Las been re ruorknbly successful. In this view of Grant and his cabinet there has been full and complete accord on his part, and in what is well known in political circles as the fitness of things," it cannot be denied that the ' 'Second Washington" has achieved immortal success. The different nominating conventions representing -'the party of great moral Ueas," met in Philadelphia on yesterday week, to select candidates for Congress, as well as for the Legislature and the various city offices. The Radical press of that city being the judges of what took placo, the proceedings were eminently disgrace ful to the party of "progress and decency.' Although no person was killed outright, several good and truly loyal men were severely wounded in the general terror and rowdyism that prevailed in the various conventions. It was calculated to reminc one of the pugilistic scenes and the fierce encounters of a genuine, old fashioned Donnybrook fair. It is the first time that "American citizens of African descent' took part in the delegate elections, as wcl as in the nominating conventions of that luicnsciy loyai municipality. What is likely to be the practical effect of this new political element, which has been in trodaced into the Radical party under the operation of the fifteenth amendment, is clearly foreshadowed in the following ex tract from an article in the Inquirer, a leading Republican journal. It is the handwriting on the wall and ia as easily read and interpreted as that of old on a memorable occasion : "There should have bean a lesson for these tricksters in the result of the late elec tion contest for Mayor and other munlcina officers. Just now that lesson is forcotton. because since then several thousand colored rctem have been added to the Kepablican party, this addition, the coavcntiomsts believed, would again permit then to foi6t upon tbe comroun'.ty a horde of party hacks. In this, hwveT, they have made a mistake. The organiAtion ia net as strong to-day, notwithstanding the reinforcements it has received from the fifteenth amendment, as it was at the time of the Majoral election. It is estimated there are between five and sii thousand colored voters in Philadelphia, and tbat at least fonr thousand of these will vote the Eepublican ticket at the October elec tion. Both these estimates may be correct but at a fcheff there must be considered the lost (f thcusandt cf whits ConservcUivet, nohctt atfiliatiant with the parly were never ttrong. and vha will not go to the polls in eontequence cfthe tvffrage being given 1o col ored citizens. It is believed by those who hare made it their business to know, that t ntt lection, tt least, the colored vote to& tt a tost to (he JZcpubU'can party." Jebnsfswo on tbe Rampage. On last -Saturday week, a public meeting was held in Johnstown, on what is called, by way of farksque, "Court House Fquare," for the purpose of enabling cer tain gentlemen of that city of the two rivers to relieve themselves of their super abundant wrath against the people of tbensburg, and to throw off a vast and astonishing quantity of rant and twaddle on the question of the removal of the coun ty seat. The array of orators on the in teresting occasion was quite formidable, as well in cumbers as in intellectual strength and personal end political influx ecce. We have no. doubt that after each of the speakers had apoken hia Utile piece, and had been safely delivered of "thoughts that breathe and words tbat burn," he felt in love with himself and arrived at the conclusion that the meeting was a "big thing' that the new juil would be num bered among (he things that were to have been and that "Court House Square" is a Jixed J'act. Prominent among the list of speak crs was A. Kopelin Esq , and while all the addresses will afford first-class light read ing on a rainy day, the following choice extract from that gentleman's effort is peculiarly refreshing : 'Standing in the bv-waT of progress, your opponents don't seem to tee the notice, 'Look. out for the locomotive. (Jan t tney Fee that 'tis commercial and not geographical centres which control the forces impelling tbe machi nery of society. IIow absurd that a lady of seventy should be forced by an ancient organ ization of society to travel thirty miles with two witnesses op the Allegheny Mountains to prove, tb k&k, the fact that her dear husband was dead, and gave her enough to live on out of their joint earnings until she should die ; or that one of you, having bought a lot in some humble spot for a lowly home, for twenty -five dollars, should Le forced to go to the same place to record your tide at an (if you treat or retreat) average expense of five dollars. Sup pose you have personal dilnculties with your neighbors ? Won't it cost you less time and money to have all that settled at home ? Why carry these matters some thirty ml.es awnj to have them adjudicated-" Suppose that this "lady of seventy" re sided in the eastern portion of Chest cr White townships, or in the northern part of Susquehamtu township, and that she should be forced by a medtm "organize tion of society" to travel, not "thirty milt s with two witness" to prove her bus band's will, but be compelled to go to Johnstown, a distance of nearly s'xty miles, for the very same purpose, what would Mr. Kopelin say to the absurdity of that proposition I The rule will work both ways. The same thing might be said in reference to recording a deed or mortgage, or to the trial of a cause in court, which Mr. K. thinks ought to be "settled at home." If thiB convenient arrangement could be effected, then it fol lows, according to his new fangled ideas, that there ought to be not only a Register and Recorder's office but also a Court House in every township in the county, in order tbat all these legal matters might be "eettled at home." His superlative nonsense being admitted, forces him to the other preposterous conclusion. How ever warmly Mr. K. may be. wedded to the removal humbug, he enjoys the repu tation of having at least a fair share of common sense ; but when he is compelled to resort to such puerile arguments as are contained in the foregoing paragraph, he confesses the utter rottenness of the cause he advocates aud presumes largely on the credulity of those who listened to and wore possibly delighted with his palaver. At the primary elections which were held last week in Fayette and Westmore land counties, Henkt D. Foster was declared to be the choice of the Democrat ic party for Congress. Indiana county will of course concur in his nomination, thus placing Gen. Foster again before the people of the district for their suffrages. It is a great pity that John Covode has retired from the contest. Some of the Radicals in the district, doubt Covode's sincerity in declining to be a candidate and affect to believe that "Oily Gam- mon is '-fixlnrr thinorq in nrAar tn onfnr the conte8t ir8t Q FoSTER wj can only hope that this surmise may prove to be correct.

Wmttemoke, unabashed and with bra zen face, has made his appearance at Washington, endorsed by a majority of eight thousand of his negro constituents. He has not yet presented his credentials, but is enJeavoring to find out what are the chances for his admission. Judging from the outspoken utterances of some of the leading Radical members of Congress, as welt an the decided tone of several prominent Republican journals, bis pros pects do not seem to be at all encouraging. His fit habitation would be a prison, in stead of occupying a seat amongst men who claim to be high-minded and honora ble. - In the following truthful and scathing article, Horace Greeley does full and am ple justice to the subject, and at the same time pays a well deserved compliment to the Democratic members of the House for their course in reference to the dis graceful business of corruptly bartering away cadetships : Cokgkess, ob the Pixitentiaxt? A man is presently to offer himself at the bar of the House for readmwnort, concerning whom this same House recently adopted this resolution : RTsoivtD, That B. Y. Whitteraore, late member from the 1st District of fcouth Caro lina, did mike appointment! to the military Academy at West Point and the Kavul Acad emy at Annapolis in violation of law, and that his conduct in the premises has been euch as to show him unworthy of a seat in the House of Representatives, and i therefore condemn ed as conduct unworthy of the Representative of the people. Is this corrupt man, who was unworthy of a scat three months ago, to be Readmitted as woithy now? We bear that he has been tele graphing to hit friend and counsel. Gen Butler, the nt of his triumphant re election; that be confidently expects to be admitted without dis pute; that reputable members are deploring it in a helpless sort of way, and going about dolefully asking each other, "How can .we preveut it?" Really we do not know. The House is made the sole judge as to the qualification of its members. Once it Eeems to have had pretty decided Lotions concerning the qualifications of Mr. B. F. "WLittemoro. It grew less deci ded in some similar cates; finally it disgraced ittelf by permitting Mr. Butler of Tennessee to remain, albeit as guilty as 'Whittemore lam self ; now, perhaps, it may think Mr. Wbiite more possessed ot all the qualifications required for its present standard. It is the Fole judge. But we can assure members that the time is at hand when a larger body of voters will be called to sit in judgment. Thus far the Democrats have promptly spurned and enst out every member ol then partv iound ruiltv of this cadetsbip infamy. We assumed great virtue at the outset ; then we lurnish able counsel for the Congressional cadet merchants; next we excused one because he hid been an unu8Urtltv active Republican, and after that the whole business btcke down. We tell gentlemem that we have hud fully as much of ihi sort of thing as we can stand. We utterly and vehemently protest against assuming any ti.ore party responsibilities in Lieu all ot the carpet-bag Concresrmen. Here la a man no toriously guilty of shameful and criminal acts If the United States authorities have not al ready neglected their duty in the case, he would have been admitted to the penitentiary of South Carolina, ju-t about the time he is approaching the bar of the House to take afresh upon his perjured lips the oath of office. The law of Congress explicitly provides that if any member ol Congress stiaJi, turcct.'y Or mui rectly, receive any" pecuniary or other valua ble consideration for procming any office or place utider the Government, he shall be liable to indictment for misdemeanor in the United Stales Court, and upon conviction shall pay a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, and be imprisoned in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding two years, and be thereafter dis qualified from holding any effice of honor, profit, or trust, under the Government of the United States. The House has "resolved that he has done theee things: it has itself prescribed this pen alty for the doing of these thir.gs; it now asks whether, ignoring the guilt, and defying its own law, it shall readmit Mr. Whittemore perhaps that he may vote for the repeal of the odious law! We have consistently urged Universal Suf frage and Universal Amnesty as the true solu tion for the problem presented at the close of the war by the conquered South. Wo have never held that Negro Suffrage, coupled with Disfranchisement of Whites, afforded such a solution. We point now to its disgraceful workings in the ense of this man Whittemore, and ask "Honorable" members Whittemore himself is soon to show an admiring world what this high title, "Honorable" means to consider the result and draw their own con clusions. x P. S. Since the foregoing article was put in type, the proceedings in the House on last Tuesday, show that Whittrmore was refused his seat by a vote of 57 in hia favor to 84 against him. Death of Jekojie N. Honapaijte. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who died yesterday iu Baltimore, was nephew to the First Emperor Napoleon, being the son of hia brother, Jeiome Bonaparte, by his marriage, at Baltimore, Maryland, with an American lady, Miss Patterson. This marriage was invalidated in France, on the plea that Jerome was a minor when he contracted it. But the Pope, although much urged to do so, refused to dissolve or impugn the obligations of the religious ceremony, solemnized by eccles- iastics of the Roman Catholic Church. Nevertheless, Jerome married a German Princess, and among his children by thai union is the present Prince Napoleon. I here is, therefore, a rather dubious ques I." . . uon ot tegmmacy in this Prince's case : r r . . c . . . - tut n ma imuuf b nri marriage was in tuil force at the time of the second, it was in valid. Some years ago, when this Prince Napoleon was "assuming an attitude of hostility to President, now Emperor. Lou is Napoleon, he sent to this country for the son of Mr.. Jerome Bonaparte, and placed him in the French army. This was siginfiennt of an intention to recognizo the Baltimore family and stigmatize the Prince Napoleon with illegitimacy. He was, it is thought, very powerfully affec ted by this demonstration, and proved more tractable to his cousin's wishes. The lady whose attractions produced all this trouble is still living in Baltimore, having long preserved the beauty that made the young French midshipman brave the anger of his powerful brother then First Consul. But on Jerome's re turn to France, he soon yielded his nre- forence for his American wife, married another, and was made Kinf of West phalia. He lived to see his nephew as- cend the throne, and died a Prince of the new Empire. He was an insignificant character of whom we never heard any thit?g crcditaWa. ,Jgn 18lh. II? TOC LIOXS DE.V, An Appalling? and Horrible Occurrence rnrw or Rbinwn'g Circna 3In Si iHert and Fonr Shockingly Lacerated by Wild Beaatt. From the Mlddletown (Missouri) Banner. Upon starting from Cincinnati for the season, tie management of James Robin son's circus and animal show determined to produce something novel in the way of a band chariot, and conceived the idea of mounting the band upon the collossal den of performing Numidian lions, and which would form one of the principal and most imposing features of the show. 1 Although repeatedly warned by Pro- ! fessor Sexton that he deemed the cages I insecure and dangerous in the extreme, the managers still persisted in compelling the band to ride npon it. Nothing, how ever, occurred until the fatal morning of the 12ih. The band took their -places and the pro cession commenced to move amid the shouts of the multitude of rustics who bad assembled to witness the grand pageant and hear the enlivening strains of music. Not a thought of danger was entertained by any one, but the awful catastrophe was about to occur. As the driver endeavored to make a turn in the streets the leaders became en tangled and threw the entire team into confusion, and he lost control of them and becoming frightened they broke into a violent run. Upon the opposite side of the street the fore-wheel of the cage came in contact with a large rock with such force as to cause the braces and stanchions which supported the roof to give way, thereby precipitating the entire band into the awtut pit below. For on instant the vast crowd were paralyzed with fear, but for a moment only, and then arose euch a shriek of agony as was never heard before. The awful groans of terror and agony which arose from the poor victims who were be ing torn, lacerated by the frightful mon sters below, was heart-rending and sick ening to a terrible degree. Every moment some one of the band would extricate themselves from the debris and leap over the sides of the cage to the ground with a wild spring and faint away upon striking the earth, so great was their terror. But human nature could not stand and see men literally devoured be fore their very eyes, for there were willing hearts and strong arms ready to render every assistance necessary to rescue the unfortunate victims of this shocking ca lamity. A hardware store which happened to stand opposite was invaded by tho request of the noble-hearted proprietor, and pitch forks, crowbars and long bars of iron, and in fact every available weapon was brought into rrquision. The side doors of the ca;;e were quickly torn from their fasten ings, and then a horrible sight was pre sented to view. Mingled among the bril liant uniforms of the poor unfortunates lay lef, arms, torn from their sockets and half devoured, while the sav:ige brutes glared ferociously with their sickly green colored eyes upon tLe petrified crowd, Professor Charles White arrived at this moment and gave orders in regard to ex tricating the dead and wounded be well knowing it would be a difficult and dan gerous undertaking to remove them from the infuriated monsters. Stationing men with forks and bars at every available point, be sprang fearlessly into the den amid the monsters, and com menced raising the wounded, and passing them upon the outside to their friends. He had succeeded in removing the wound ed, and was proceeding to gather up the remains of the lifeless, when the mam moth lion, known to showmen as old Nero, sprang with a frightful ronr upon his keeper, fastening his teeth and claws in his neck and shoulders, lacerating him in a horrible manner. Professor White made three herculenn efforts to thake the monster off, but without avail," and gave orders to lire upon him. The contents of four of Colt's r.avys iramediatelj' poured into the carcass of the ferocious animal, and he fell dead ; and the brave little man, notwithstanding the fearful manner in w hich he was wounded, never left the cage until every vestage of the dead were carefully gathered together and placed upon a sheet, preparatory for burial. It was found that three of the ten were killed outright, and four others terribly lacerated. The names of the killed are August Schoer, Conrad Freiz and Charjes Greiner. Coffins were pro cured and an immediate funeral deter mined upon, as the bodies were so fright fully lorn and lacerated as to be unrecog nizable to their most intimate friends. Tho lions are the same ones which nearly cost Prof. Charles White his life two years ago, while traveling with the Thayer & Isoyes party, and were known to be a dangerous cage of animals. Every attention is being given to the sufferers by the kind and hospitable citizens of Middle town, and at last accounts they were all pronounced out of denger. Another Stoky on Whittkmore. "Z," the special Washington correspond, ent of the Baltimore Gaettte, tells the fol lowing : Another story on Whittemore, the ca detship pedler, has leaked out, and can be vouched for to the letter. Some time before Whittemore resigned to avoid being kicked out of the House,- there was a charitable fetiival of some sort, and tickets of admission were sent to eachmember of Congress. Whittemore evidently thought he was the only person thus honored, and going over to a neighbor, he endeavored to strike up a trade. Said Whittemore. producing his ticket, "Every member is expected to take one of these tickets and hand over $5 ; I've got just this one left, and will let you have it." The member addressed bad a ticket in his pocket, but said nothing, beyond declining to pur chase. Then Whittemore tried another member, with no better result. How many 'more be may have approached is not known. A Vermont hoy rau away from his adopted father. Tho old man caught him in a neichbome town.

The ac- j counts of the terrible outrages committed on white women by negroes, which we read in the newspapers from day to day, from all parts of the country, are about to be realized in oar very midst, with all their attending horrors. On Sunday even ing, the 5th inst., Michael Grim, who resides with his father-in-law, Peter Smith, on the Baltimore Turnpike, in Yoik township, three miles south of this borough, left bis wife alone m the house, while b called to see a neighbor, and during his absence a negro man entered the dwelling, and finding his lady alone and unprotected, took hold of her and at tempted to commit an outrage upon her person. But she being a woman of great courage, seized an iron poker used at the stove, and struck the villain a tremendous blow across the forehead, which had the effect of frustrating his design. He be came enraged, and in return struck the lady over the head with a cane, inflicting a severe wound. She then took hold'of the rope attached to the dinner bell, and rang it to alarm the neighbors, when he made a hasty retreat, and has not since been seen. The lady, as may be supposed, bad become so exhausted and frightened that she was unable to halloo. She had a portion of her clothing torn from her person in the scuffle, when she struck him with the poker. Had she not been gifted with a courage and presence of mind that few women are possessed of, the black scoundrel would have accomplished his hellish purpose. She describes the negro as being of medium height, rather stout, and probably thirty or thirty-five years of age, and pretty dark in color. Had the enraged populace of that vicinity overta ken the fiend, when the facts became known, he would doubtless, have been lynched upon the spot, a reward which his conduct would so richly have deserved. York Press. More Than the National Dkbt. The value of the land given by Congress on Saturday to the 'Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad" was a belt of land fifty-miles wide and three hundred mile9 long, or about as large as the terri tory of New Jersey, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Florida, in one lump. It is given "solid," too. Here tofore alternate tecfions have been given on the plea that the odd sections were re served for settlers and would be so much increased in value by railroads as to make each one of them worth what bjth put to gether were before. Now even that fal lacy is ignoicd. The whole is given away. What was given away on Satur day would more thun pay the national debt, to liquidate which in driblets the Administration maintains war taxes. The loudest advocates for this measure were those superfine loyalists, Messrs. Howard and Ilarland. The land given away be longed to the people, and, as said would more than pay the national debt. Tho votes necessary to carry the majority by which it were undoubtedly bought, and the time will not be long before some of the rogues, by falling out, will enable honest men to write every man's price out against every man's no me w ho parceled out the public domain in-this manner. Yet owing to this kind of legislation, ow ing to the selling of votes to corporations, taxes ate. kept up to war rates, twelve States are shackled, and we are asked to endorse an Administration which squan ders more than the sum total of the na tional indtbtedness on a single bill. A Sad Case An Insane Man in a Small Room for over Ten Years. Com plaint having been made at the Central Station that an insane man, named John Ilerriges, aged about thiity year?, was kept confined in a small room, at the northeast corner of Fourth and Lombard streets, a detective visited the place yes terday. The house at Fourth and Lom bard is owned, it is said, by Joseph Her riges, a brother of the insane man, and who keeps a cigar store. The detective found John Herriges in a small bed room, about 8 by 10 feet, without clothing, ex cept a loose sack or frock of coarse linen. The room was in a most filthy condition, tho walls and floor being covered with dirt. The insane man was also very dirty, and presented a most wretched appear ance. The officer fook him and his broth er to the Central station, where a hearing was had before Alderman Kerr. It was stated by some of the parties present that John had been confined in the room where he was found for the past ten or fifteen years. The brother, Joseph said that he had taken care of him for several years, but could not tell the exact number of years, and that his insanity was caused by a fall. John is very quiet, obeying promptly all orders given him. -Drs. Edward Mayers and T. S. Betes,' who were present, pronounced John in sane, and the Alderman ordered him to be removed to the Almshouse. Joseph, his brother, was held in 5,000 bail to an swer the charge of maintaining a nuisance and cruelty to his brother. PhiL Ledger. On Saturday the Rt. Rev. T.

Ky.. at a late henr on Saturday night last, a man named Sidney Wiley entered the house of Mrs. Shark and slapped her in the face. Her son drew a pistol and shot Wiley, killing him instantly. About the same hour, a man named Lacy got into a fight with his wife. Amos Car rick, living next door, interfered, where upon Lacy turned upon Mrs. Carrick and in sulted.her grossly. Ou hearing of the insult. John Carrick, son of Mrs. Carrick, rushed upon Lacy and stabbed him several times, inflicting wounds from which he cannot re cover. The Meriden fCr.) Republican has this story: "On Tuesday evening a drunken man crept into Mr. S. B. Morgan's" stables, and lay dowu to sleep off the effect of hia deep potatioiis in the horse's bed of clean straw. He went iu at about 6 o'clock. At 9 o'clock some one entered the stable to see "if the horse wa9 littered down for the night, and found that the drunkard was lying at full length beneath the horse's belly. The sagacious animal had backed out 'as far as he could, and stood with legs distended to avoid hurting the inebriated sleeper be neath him. The man was dragged from his perilous position, and restored to his friends. It is lucky for him that the horse had more intelligence than himself." At twilight a few evenings sgo, smoke was been issuing from tho base of the lare gilt cross on the steeple of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church on Christian street, below Tenth, Philadelphia. The alarm was given that the church was on fire, and in a few minutes an excited multitude of men, women and children were in the streets. Upon lookmg up a thin curl of amoke was seen rias ing from the steeple. A local alarm was given and several fire compaoiea went to the spot, but their services were not needed Men went up in the steepla and discovered a small smouldering fire, which was extin guished by a bucket of water. How the fire got there is a mystery. Had It smouldered for an hour later tbe magnificent structure would probably have been destroyed per haps involving a low of life, as service", wss to be held in the church in about half an hour. The church was entuely destroyed by firo near tho close of 1861. 0 EVERY ADVA1 If PTTBCBASrVrj FlHE REABY-MlBE fi:p CAN BS FKCTp.ed r tej HIGHEST DEGBit THIS MOSTB AT WANAMAKER f ANAMAKER iROltr- OAK HALL nr r Sixth and Market Street " -00- Plain, Comfortable Cl:tv For MB of PUio Ta.,- Stylish, Elaborate Gar Tor tfee F.blonabJy.JatUoe.
