ADDRESS, orras DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COMMITTEE Totue Democracy of Cambria Cocntt: The prospects for a ppeedy and final re demption from the wrongs of Radicalism were never so bright as at the present mo ment. The Democrats are everywhere standing manfully by their principles, while their opponents are suodered by factionF divided and discordant ! We nre united and hopeful. The pal my days of Democratic supremacy days like those which sustained a Jefferson end a Jackson are again dawning up on us. Victory, like ripe fruit, is ready to fall into our hands, if we but remain firm at our posts to enjoy the triumph. Congress must be redeemed ! Labor must be protected, and not capital. 11. Milton fcPtEit represents the arm of la bor ; Daniel J. Morrkll represents the hand of capital. Spekr will be a fear less and able defender of the rights of the people Morrell an obedient minion of the mom y power. The strong arm of De mocracy should be stretched out against corjorations and tnonojxtlies. and in favor of the rights of the poor man and the labo rer. The Radicals have put no ticket'in the field for county officers, but they seek by the cry of "removal" to distract and Ie feat ths Democatic party. The Demo, cratic county ticket was nominated ac cording to the usages of the Democratic party every ward, borough and township in Cambria county being represented. Ev ery man on the ticket comes up to the Jeffeisonian Btandard. They are all 7 esC they are all "capable." What ex cuse, then, has any Democrat for not giv ing the ticket his full and hearty support. Fellow Dctnocats, the election is upon us. There is no time to falter or delay. The serried columns of the old Demo cratic army U marching on to victory J Many reasoning Republicans nre falling into our swelling ranks. What good Democrat, then, will hesitate to seek the front rank, and participate in the glorious triumph that awaits us on the SECOND TUESDAY OF OCTOHER? From every portion of the Keystone Static the prospects are cheering. The Radicals admit that we shall gain several members of Congrcen. Our friends ure everywhere contesting the field with a gallantry that must bring triumph. Shall "Little Cambria," the "Star that never sets," be behind her sister counties in this grand battle which is to restore the Dem ocrats to power, and redeem the country from misrule and corruption t Let every Democrat, thon, determine to devote one whole day to his country. Go and vote early, and see that your tick et has no spurious namss on it. Do not permit any "scratching." Use your best efforts to poll every vote stir out the indifferent encourage the faltering. In short, do your whole duty, and victory iB ours. By order of the Committee. K. L. JOHNSTON, Chairman. R. Hilton Speer. When this gentleman was nominated as the Democratic canidate for Congress from this district, we spoke of Lim as a gentleman of ability, and as a pure and unimpeachable democrat. Such is Mil ton Specr's private and political oharac ter. We do not fear to compare him with the friend of all the land grabbing-scbemes in Congress, Daniel J. Worrell. Against Mr. Morrell, as a citizen and a gentleman we have nothing to say. But we do ob ject to Lim as a member of Congress. Tell us what important measure of Con gress Mr. Morrell has ever refused to vote for, not even excepting the impeachment of Andrew Johnston, which proved to be a failure and a disgrace. Mr. Speer will represent the district with undoubted cred it to himself and honor to his constituen cy, lie will receive an overwhelming majority in Cambria county, and although we live in a heretofore radical district, we regard the election of Mr. Speer as a fix ed fact. The Removal Fraud Once More. There is not nor will there be any ef fort on the part vf the enemies of the re moval of the county mat to assert a lie or to play any false dodge this week, or be fore the election. Wo appeal to the bon CBt and intelligent voters and tax-payerB of Cambria county, standing on and oc cupying a square and upright position, and one that must command general re spect, even in the southern portion of the county. If there ever was, in the history of political parties in this county, or in any other county in the State, as bare-faced and impudent an attempt to accomplish a purely selfish purpose and to defraud the people of the northern section oi tbe coun ty, this removal farce isentilled presemi nently to tbe preference. Have the two Johnstcwn papers ever yet offered a soli tary argument in its favor ? We have proven to them that Ebensburg is located within a short distance of the centre of the county, and that it is accessible by good country roads ; just such as lead to the county seats of Westmoreland, Som erset, Indiana and Blair counties. Now, what is and has been the arguments of the Removal advocates against our facts? Simply that there is mismanagement in the l'oor House and in the County Com missioners Office. Well, admit for the mere sake of the argument, that all this is true. What does it prove ? Is it any reason for the removal of the county seat! If the Poor House has not been managed properly, or if the County Commissioners' Office has not been conducted as economi cally as it ought to have been, do both of these things, when put together, afford the slightest argument in favor of the remov al of the county seat t In this county, as well as in this country, the people always govern and regulate their own local affairs. They are pecuniarily and of course person ally interested in the proper management of the affairs of the county. The perfect and complete remedy is in their own hands, and if they fail through the ballot box to apply it they are alone to blame. Are H. L. Woodruff, Harry Boggs, D. M'Laughlin, John F. Barnes, and other leaders of the Removal humbug, wiser, more honest, or more patriotic than the balance of the honest people of Cambria county, that they should take these mat ters specially under their peculiar charge, and that they should set themselves up as "Judges in Israel"! In the name of hon esty and fair play, in the name of justice and in the name of all that is fair between the two sections of the county, we forbid it, and appeal to the people in the their soverign capacity to say that tbe contem plated outrsge, for the reasons adduced, shall never by their voles be consummated. Cambria county does not exist for the special benefit of a few land sharks in Johnstown, but for the interests of tbe whole county. It has always heretofore been so, and will continue to be and re main so in the future. A Tfurnlag. The false and fraudulent impression has attempted to be made by the two re moval papers in Johnstown, that in the event of the removal of the county seat, Charles B. Ellis, Lewis Plitt, and other heaiy men of Johnstown, would guaranty that the erection of the new Court House and Jail should not increase the taxes of the people of the northern portion of the county. The idea is, that Ellis, ITitt fc Co. would tbroughfthe length of ther pur ses and in all the well known magnanim ity of their soul, erect the Court House and Jail themselves. Does any man in Cambria county who is fit to be outside of a Lunatic Asylum believe that their is one word -of sincerity or truth in these Johnstown professions ? It is the wooden horse of the Greeks, smuggled within the walls of the city of Troy, the fatal consequence of which are an instructive as well as a war ning page in history, even though it be a myth. We think there is no northern mnn, nor even a citizen of Johnstown, who is so short sighted and simple as to be in duced to take up his temporary residence as afiy in the nicely furnished parlor of these removal tpidrrs. It is all bosh nothing less than a transparent farce. Let Woodruff be elected to the Legislature, and let the removal bill be psssed, and then aak the leaders of the removal Dro- ject in Johnstown where the money is to come irom witn which to erect the new Court House and Jail, and they will say to the tax-payers of Blacklick, Carroll, Susquehanna, Chest, White, Clearfield, Allegheny, Gallitzin, Munster, Washing ton, Summerhill, and Crovle, as the veil ed Prophet of Kohrassan said to his will ing but unsuspecting dupes : You would be victims, and you aee." We h ave received tbe first number of "Tue Mountain Echo, a new paper which has jjst been established at Johns town. It pre6ents'a remarkably neat and creditable appearance, and is the same size as the Freeman. Tbe editor is G. Nklson Smith, which is a sufficient guar anty that in political sentiment it will be of the most orthodox democratic char acter. It is opposed to the removal of the County seat, and proposes as a fair com promise betwoen the friends and enemies of that measure, to advocate the proprie ty of the passage of a law "giving the District Court at Johnstown generafciv-. il jurisdiction." Mr. Smith is a veteran editor, and is well known to the people of Cambria county, having represented them for three successive years in the low er branch of the Legislature. Tbe new paper has our best wishes for its success. We are not in the habit of especially endorsing or eom mending any one candi date on the Democratic ticket. We will however say that J. A. Harrold, the nom inee for Coroner, is a gentleman in every sense of the term a model official and a good and reliable Democrat. His as an officer is the best evidence Jf his entire honesty and efficiency. Mr. Har rold has done what no other coroner in th;. county has done kept a complete record of all the inquisitions held by him. He eminently deserves a re-election. Let Capt. Honacker'8) Friends Beware. We hereby caution the friends of Capt. WILLIAM B. BONACKER, the demo ocratic candidate for Sbeiiff, to be aware of a scheme that has been laid for his de feat. It is this : Francis Cramer, who was a candidate before the County Con vention for Sheriff, was defeated by Capt.. Bonacker. Cramer is an independent can didate against Bonacker. On next Tues day there will be tickets at every election district in the county, with the names of all the democratic candidates printed there on, with this single exception, that the name of William B. Bonacker is erased and the name of Cramer is inserted in its place. We have seen the tickets and now have them in our possession. Of course this same man, Frank Cramer is on tbe removal ticket with Woodruff, and is at tempting to ride two horses at tbe same time. We direct the special attention of the prominent and active democrats who ought to be and who we hope will be at tbe polls in every election district in the county, to be on tbeir guard and watch this game. Let Frank Cramer be buried by the true people of Cambria county in the same political grave with Henry D. Woodruff. Ansterllfz or Waterloo. Shall next Tuesday, be the former or the latter to ths democratic party of Cam bria county ? The one was a glorious victory, the other a total" defeat. We have said all that we can in opposition to the removal of the county seat. Although we were first attacked by Woodruff, and although we replied to his vile and per sonal abuse, we felt and told him so, that our characters bad nothing whatever to do with the issue in controversy. We say so still. Woodruff is a Jraud. First, he is a damnable fraud on the Demo cratic parly of this county, and secondly, he id a still meaner fraud on Daniel J. Morrell, who bought him and his paper. If there is any one man in the Democratic party in Cambria county, wbo is more universally despised than II. D- Woodruff, we would like to know his name. Wc said of him in this paper once before, in view of his treachety to the democratic party, and we now repeat it with empha sis : 'Oh ! fer a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason like a deadly blight. Comes o'er the counsels of tbe brave And blasts them in tbeir hour of mi;bt." Daniel J. JtXorrell. "The only reason urged by tbe frieDds of Morrell to induce the people to return him to Congress is his tariff record. Nothing else ib mentioned. Take away the tariit question, aod protection to the iron interests, and so far as the radical organs of this dis trict have any tbirjg to eay on the subject, Mr. Morrell is totally without any record. "But what is his tariff record ? aod to what extent docs it benefit the iron interests of his district 1 These are pertinent ques tions, and we put llic-m to the friends of this gentleman ic the preserjee of all tbe good people of the four leading iron counties of Central Pennsylvania, and challenge them for answers. If his course in Congress was calculated to benefit the manufacturers of iron in this district tbey are certainly able to show it. He is part owner in the only considerable rolling mill in the four counties. It is true, he makes metal but not to sell, mark you but to convert into raiiroad iron, lie is a large purchaser of pig metal, and of course he wants to buy it as cheap as possi ble. The cheaper tht pig metal the mars profit he has on the iron, which, by means of the Bessemer patent, in which it is charged and not denied that he has a direct pecuni ary interest, in converting it into steel rails rl very little addition of labor or expense. Plainly; then, the lower the price of pig metal the more money goes into his pocket. Accordingly Daniel goea to work and reduces the tariff two dollars per ton on pig metal, and, not satisfied with this, increases the duty od steel rails to an amount equal to their cost of production. This is Darnel's actual tariff record. Let any of his supporters, subsidized or other wise, deny it if they dare. "And yet our furnace men are appealed to and counted upon, as his supporters. Uow can they appeal to their employees and ask them to support the man wbo was in strumental in cutting down the price of articles in the production of which they are employed ? We have many furnaces in this district, some of them producing the best pig iron in market. Their hands are always expected to support tbe roan who will sup port the interests of tbe proprietors j and it has been charged that in t.ome instances these proprietors have imitated Mr. Morrell and given tbeir employees to understand that if they don't vote right they must seek employment elsewhere. Bow, then, we re peat, can these gentlemen ask tbe hundreds of men in their employ to vote for the man who, more thaD any other, is responsible for this reductioa of two dollars per ton on pig meiai t Auoona oun." Gbast Toor Pat.- When the President "swung round the circle" last year, and when the sid of the machine having the President on revolved around to Kane the party remained over Sunday, as will be re membered. The party feeling lonesome, an d really in need of religious instruction and comfort, they sent for Rev. Mr. Wilder, a Methodist, to preach for them. The Rev ereud gentleman was prompt in accepting. He preached a good, wholesome sermon, and prayed earnestly for the President of the United States. The services concluded, and three of the party, the President included, stepped forward, thanking Mr. Wilder for bis effort, and promised to send him each $20. The gentlemen accompanying the President fulfilled their promise, sending each a $20 bill; but Grant,. tbe man who is dead-heading his way over the railroads and on the steamboats and coaches, seems to be trying to dead-head his way to heaven, for he has failed to make good his promise. Mr. Wilder is not yet in receipt of the $20 promised. He naturally thinks Grant a humbug, a man not micdiog his voluDtary promise, and oue unfit to hold his high posi tion. Mr. Wilder says he will not vote for such a man, even though he should be re nominated for the Presidency or auy other oflice. Not that he did not pay him money for his preachiDg, but for the reason that he vo.untarily proffered the amount, together witn his companions, and failed to fulfill, while those obscure individuals with him did as they agreed. Mr. Wilder thinks the incident shows the rhara after stripping him of his official" trappings. From October , no stamp is required to receipts, and none to promissory notes under one hundred dollars. 1 An Infamous Removai Plot Exposed. A Scatblng; Letter frm Wm. XX. Ke. We copy the subjoined letter from Wm. Horace Rose, Esq., the Democratic candi date for Assembly, which we find in tbe Mountain Echo, a new Democratic paper established in Johnstown, the first number of which appeared on last Saturday. It ex poses and thoroughly ventilates as low and dishonest a scheme on the part of tbe leaders in the removal swindle as they are so fully competent of attempting. The plot was this : Boggs, M Laughlin k Co. proposed to raise $1,500 00. through the Cambria Iron Company and from "the people up lown," (Johnstown,) for the base purpose of attempting to control the Democratic Coun ty Convention and nominating therein a candidate favorable to removal.1 If this cor rupt plan had succeeded, it was suggested by; the leaders that Rose "might be willing to give a pledge satisfactory to the Removal men," provided he, Rose was nominated by the regular County Convention. We gather these damaging and disgraceful facts from the letter of Mr. John Ilannan, addressed to Mr. Rose. This pledge was written, as Mr Ilaunan states, by that pure aud incorrupti ble patriot, Daniel M'Laughlin, and was returned to him by Mr. Ilannan. John Ilannan says that Rose "repudiated the whole tiling," and that fee, Rose, "would give no pledge whatever in favor of Jlemoval, either open or private.1" This plain and straight forward letter of Mr. Uannan's unearths as vile, infamous and corrupt a plot as ever disgraced the politics cf this or any other State, and the facts connected with the en tire scheme ought to consign the leaders of the Removal faction who were engaged in it, to richly merited infamy : Johkstown, Sept. 29, 1870. Editor or the Mountain Echo : A mali cious attack having been made n. on rae bj the editor of tbe Johnstown Tribune in bis last week's issue. I wish space in jour columns to reply. Mr. Swauk has publicly stated that he had in his possession au affidavit made by me before Justice Strayer relative to the "Cone maugh" articles, and has published another not the one I made. If be has the affidavit, he has committed a base forgery, and if be did not have it then he stated what is not true -He rays 1 made the affidavit for the purpose of keeping in with the Removal men. The party before whom the affidavit was made will in form him that the removal question had noth ing whatever to io with it. Swank nays that 1 eternlv denied giving information to "Cooe maugh." If he goes to 'Squire Strnyer and the other party to whom the affidavit was given tbey will tell him that I distinctly said I bad talked about things that appeared in tbe articles, doubtless in tbe presence of "Cone maugh," or some one wbo told him, but I did not know who the writer was. I say now what 1 said then, that I did not know what was to appear in the "Couemaugh" articles until I read thera in the paper or heard parties spe'ik of them. I don't know to this moment who the writer of tbe "Conemaugh' articles was. Swank says the conversation he had with rae on the "Justice" articles was private. I can prove that two other jarties were present and beard it, and that the conversation was an angry one, and that same evening repeated it openly to parties in a store and among others to a gentleman connected with the Johnstown Democrat. Swank sars the party who held the affidavit took it to him for publication. That gentleman publicly denies it. As to the local item, I never authorized it or knew it had been prepared until about three weeks since. Tbe gentleman who wrote it will pay so. Swank next saye tht just before the beus burg Convention 1 wrote to him and wished space in his paper to show up Pershing. That I spoke disparagingly of Brown and Griffin That I threatened to divulge something on Home. That I could aud would deleat any pei sou nominated but W. U. Rose The statement that I would, before a con vention in which I intended to present my name as a candidate, go and put myself in the bands of the editor oi an opposition paper in tbe manner indicated by Swauk is too absurd to require denial. I never asked Swank any such privilege-' He baa no such conversation with me. Mr. Swank has heretofore promised to prove that I offered to pledge myself for Removal. Last wtek he attempted to do so. For this purpose a card sigued by H. A. Boggs, A Copeliu and others, is published These cen- tlemeu assert that some party they fail to give the name proposes to speak for me. 1 never authorized auy one so to do. On the contrary, I was onered to have put at my dis posal means to carry the cauvass if 1 would give such a pledge. I refused. I have steadi ly said and say now I am in favor of general civil jurisdiction tor the District Court. Th it the limit of two hundred dollars is wrong. Be yond this 1 did not go. I was hence anxious to kuow who had been proposing to speak in that way lor me. I noticedLtbat the gentle man certified that Joseph CroJse. the Chair man of tbe Removal Committee, bad been present. 1 knew be would tell me who the party was. I noticed he bad not signed the card. I called upon him and here is what he says : Johnstown, Tx., Sept. 27, 1670 W. Horace Rose Sir j In answer to your inquiry I have to say that I was noi present at any meeting of the friends of the Removal movement when your name was propossd as a candidate of tbe Removal Party, or when any person said that he was authorized to say that you would give tue Kemoval men a pledge Yours, Josk.ru Caousx. I heard from another source that John Han- nan was said to be the person. I called upon Air. ilannan, and Here is what be says : Sept. 28th, IS70. Wm. H. Rose, Esq. Dear Sir : My atten tion having been called to a certificate in the last Johnstown Iribune, signed by A. Cope- lin and others, and being informed by one of the signers to that document that I am the person who it is there reported assumed to act by your authority in making or agreeing to matte a pledge in favor of "Removal," I deem it but just to you to make the following state ment in denial thereof : During some of the preliminary conversa tions with reference to "Removal," the pro priety of attempting to control the Democratic County Convention and nominating therein a candidate favorable to Removal was discussed, and as you had already made some progress in tbe cauvass for tbe Democratic nomination, it was suggested that voc might be willinc to give a pledge satisfactory to the Removal men. J a written pieage was urawn up, wnicn it was suggested should be shown to you. after first securing irom Mr. Boggs, of the Cambria Iron Company, an assurance that sufficient funds would be provided to secure your nomination and election if you would consent to give tbe required pledge. I carried the pledge to Mr. Boggs myself, who took exception to some of the verbal parts thereof, but who thought that with some assistance from 'the people up town" the required amount ($1,500.1)0) could be raised. I then returned the pledge to Mc Laughlin (who had written it) and afterwards sought a casual opportunity to converse with you, and by incidental conversation I learned that you would give no pledge whatever in favor of Removal, either open or private. In fact, you repudiated tbe whole thing. Of course no pledge was submitted to you. At the meeting thereafter I could not assume to act and did not act by your authority for any purpose, much less for the purpose of offering any pledge. I could not have said that I had your authority for that purpose for I bad no such authority from you, and I did not say that yon would give a secret or any other kind of ft pledge in favor of Removal, for I was satisfied by the course of your remarks that you would not do so. .These are the facts, and I trust to the power of Truth to prevail over any array of names used to bolster up Falsehood. John Hank ax . I new submit the question to the public: Who lies'! W. Horace Rose. The Great Floods. JticHMOND. Va.. Oct. 2 At midnight last night the river was still rising aod invaded still further the lower part of the city. Hundreds of persons were busy carrying off the furniture from the houses about to be swept away. In front of the St. Charles Hotel, about the centre of the city, is anchor ed a schooner. Her crew pull off in the boats as regularly as if at sea.' Last night the Western Union Telegraph office was crowd ed with anxious people tryiag to ascertain the whereabouts of their friends wbo left in the late trains, and for whose fate the an nouncement that the river at Lynchburg was rising again created much excitement. In the lower part of the city the only object of attention was a single gas-lamp that still burned, though wjthin a few inches oi being submerged. The Richmond and Petersburg Railroad has'puton their road four times the usual number of cars bo as to accommo date the Smthero travel. The flood on the Rivanna River is the highest since 1807. Tbe families of Mr. Jennings and Mr. Miller, whose homes were near tbe river, were washed away in all, five persons. Mr. Jennings is supposed to have been drowned. His wife and two children are known to have perished. A young lady of the family clurg to a tree forty-eight hours, but was washed away and drowned. Her death was witnessed by a crowd on the other bank-of the river, but there was no boat near by which she might have been rescued. On the Manassas Rnilroad the bridges acrr&a the North and South Shenandoah Rivers are gone. No information has been received from beyond Strasburg. Many lives are known to have been lost. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad above Harper's Ferry has been swept away. Scottsville, in Alber marle county, has been inundated, and the destruction of property is very great. Eigh teen lives were lost. Trains are running regularly between Alexandria aod Rich mond. A FAMILY PBOWNED. On Thursday, while the water was rising, James Ramson, daughter and servant girl ; Robert Whitley, wife and three children ; and a colored woman with her three chil dren, were standing cn an abutment of the canal bridge at Lynchburg, waiting for a boat to take them off, when a dredging ma chine broke loose above, aod, drifting against the abutment, carried it away, with all on it. All were drowned. FOBTT-SKVES LIVES LOST AT ItA HPEb'S FEBBT Baltimobk, Oct. 2 A private despatch from Harper's Ferry, from a reliable source, this afternoon, stales the Dumber of lives lost at that place by the flood at forty-seven. Immense damage has beeo done in the Val ley of the Shenandoah. The Winchester Railroad between Harper's Ferry and Hall town is badly damaged. All is quiet on the Potomac above Harper's Ferry, the rise and flood above that point being confined to the Shenandoah. The Baltimore and Ohio Fail road track is uninjured. Tbe rain recom menced fallinghercat lo'clock this afternoon, and continues steadily at the present hour 11 P. M. Baltimore, Oct. 3. Despatches from Harper's Ferry to-day, say the los3 of life by tbe flood at that place will not exceed thirty. Tbe Chesapeake and Ohio Canal below Har per's Ferry, is badly damaged. The Presi dent of the canal telegraphs that he has hopes that navigation will be resumed in thirty days. Richmond, Oct. S, The flood has gone down and the merchants are calculating their Josses. It is thought this morning that half a million will cover the loss in this city, but not in the towns about here. The War Record. Fighting was going on yesterday near St. Germain, on the road to Beauvais. There was a battle between the Germans and Na tional Guards of the Army of Ronen on Sat urday in which the latter was defeated with considerable loss. The Germans have occu pied Mantes. There have been fresh sorties from Metz and Soissons. The report from the neighborhood of Paris is that the Prus sians are preparing to go into winter quar ters. Among the recently killed on the German side is the Duke of Nassau, He was picked off probably by sharp-shooters, while pro ceeding from Rheims to Chalous in compa ny with the King of Prussia. The latter had a narrow escape. The Duke was a Gen eral in the Prussian service, and also com manded a regiment of Wes'phalian Lancers. Ten thousand German troops have been left to garrison Strasburg, while 40,000 en gaged in the scige have been ordered to the lines before Paris. Th& Strasbourgers still maintain a defiant attitude. The city is badly injured. The Cathedral has suffered so much that architects have been sent from Munich to make an examination of it. The books and manuscripts of the public library are uninjured, having been remove! to a place of safety during the bouibardmeot. General Ulrich, the heroic defeuder of Stras bourg, arrived in Tours on Saturday eight. A great popular demonstration took place at the gates. The General was escorted by an immense crowd of people to the Archie piscopal Palace, where he was installed as a public guest. He was repeatedly cheered, and made a brief speech returning thauksto the Ministers aud the poople for the warmth of his reception. Minister Cremitux made a eulogistic response. Voting on the plebiscitum was progressing quietly in Rome yesterday. The voting in the country districts will not take place un til next week. Tbe palace of the Quirinal is being put in order for King Victor Eman uel. The Pope declines to quit Rome, and will for the present remain at the Castle St. Angelo with an Italian guard. Tbe health of bis Holiness is excellent. General Mast commands the national forces in Rome, and civil affairs are administered by a commis sion of eighteen members, over which Sig nor Caetani presides. A great sermon was preached yesterday in the Jloman Catholic Cathedral of Westminister by Archbishop Manning, on the present aspect of the R man question. He declared that Rome was to-day in the bands of a mob, and upbraided England for her indifference to the fate of the Holy City, which was the fate of Chris tianity and of civil order. The sermon made a great impression. World, 3d. Saturday last we charged a prominent Radical protectionist with supporting Mor rell q ft r Via vnfc.r in f.im. .t .

The decaying remains of three persons, all In a pile," were found in the woods In Jasper county, Iod., recently. No clue to their identity or the cause of their death has been discovered. Cayuga has the longest railroad bridge in the world, says a New York paper. Not so. The railroad bridge at Columbia, Penn sylvania, is a a mile and a quarter long, while that at Cayuga is only a mile and fifty yards. Th Osage Mission Journal of Kansas, says : "The wealthiest people in the world are the Ossges. The tribe numberB 3,000. and have, after all expenses ere paid, one hundred and sixty acres of choice land per capita, and $6,000,000 in money." The following lines it is said were scratched with a piece of Bessemer steel on the window glass of a Pittsburgh hotel, by Gov. Geary : Who's this comes waddling on his pgs, Right straight athwart my optics 1 By all the bullets in my legs. 'Tis a Chinaman with chopsticks f In the centre of the City of Richmond, Virginia, a schooner was anchored Sunday night. The crew pulled off in boats as if at sea. The city is half submerged, and the freshet is still rising. Maoy cases of drown ing are reported, A whole family was swept away at LyDchburg. The bridges over the rivers are nearly all gone, and the damage everywhere is very great. Another loyal thief has been discovered to add to the three hundred and forty offi cially reported not long ago. John Speer, ex-collector of internal revenue, was arrested at Lawrence, Kansas, on the 22J ult.. charged with emlxzziiDg $159,000 in Gov ernment bonds. His deputy, VV. W. Bar icklow, was also arrested. Speer gave bonds in $.35,000. and then left of course realizing about $124,000 by the "venture." Next! In the Salt Lake District G'Ort. the other day, before Chief Justice McKean, a Mormon, named Sanborn, applied to be naturalized. In reply to the question of the Judge, Sanborn said he then had but one wife, but that he believed it right, and according to the laws of God, to marry an other while his present wife was living, and. although the laws of the land forbid, he thought it hiJ duty to obey the laws of God rather than the laws of man. The Chief Justice refused to naturalize him on account of his opinions. The fat Tenderers of Jersey City are on the road to condign punishment. It seems that these men have been putting diseased meat dogs and horses, as well as betf and pork through a certain chemical process, and then selling it to the sausage makers. The fact coming to the knowledge of a Jer sey City magistrate, he instituted an exam ination into the matter, and discovered a state of things which is too disgusting to describe. It fs expected that the guilty parties will be brought up with a short turn in a few daj-s. New Yorkers eat a good many sausages, and, as a rule, they like to have them made of healthy meat. A citizen of Massachusetts, having late ly undergone a very severe operation at the hands of the surgeons, was seized with the conviction that they had removed all the internal organs from his body, and left him a mere anatomical shell. All their protesta tions to the contrary only convinced him the more of the perfidy of the whole medical profession. Under the circumstances it was, of course, useless for him to eat or drink, and he steadily refused to do either. After lingering in this condition for nearly a month, he died the otber day in a Salem hospital, bewailing his stolen vitals, and execrating the thievish doctors. One of the Negro State Senators of Tex as, who is married to a white woman (the shameless creature !) was in New York last week with his pale-faced bride. D. N. Powell, of the National Standard. ient notes to ten of the leading hotels asking rooms and equal accommodations for Senator Ruby and wife. The proprietors of nine of them civilly declined, but he of the Astor House, the Radical headquarters, added insult to his declination, so Mr. Powell said in a speech delivered subsequently at Cooper Institute. He proposed that Mr. Powell should take the darkey Senator to Lis own home, and he would stand the expense. Now the question arises did the insult to Powell consist in atking him to entertain Ruby and his other half, or in offering to pay for their grub t Who can answer that conundrum ? Bazeillks. The conduct of tbe Bavari an troops in burning the town of Bazeilles on the day of the battle of Sedan, is the sub ject of severe comment. The Duke da Fitz james, whose statements, it la alleged, are confirmed by the correspondents of the Eng lish Liberal Journals say that when the Germans were advancing ou Bazeilles, the inhabitants bnt on their National Guards" uniforms and fought with the French troops. The French were driven back into Bawrilles. and the Bavarians formed a circle around tbe village and set it on fire. A large num ber of persons who had taken refuge in the cellais were burned alive, and out of a pop ulation of 2000 only 300 were saved. It is asserted that the Bavarians drove the wo men and children back into the flames, and shot those who succeeded in breaking past. The atmosphere around the village, it is reported, is pervaded with the smell of char red flesh, and the charred bodies of the in habitants are lying around. Pbotectionist8 ask protection for Amer ican manufacturers against those of foreign countries, but want perfect liberty to import cheap labor free ; this shows how much they propose to protect laboring men. D. J. Morrell's votes oo questions affecting bis own interests prove that he is favor of im porting the rat-eaters of China to take the place of white labor. Chinamen work for little or nothing aod that would exactly suit Morrell. Mr. Speer is the open and decided opponent of every scheme having for its object the degredatioo of white men. For whom will workingmen yote 1 Hunt ingdon Monitor. Last week's Journal declared that Mr. Speer was the nominee of the Free Trade League and that that organization had flood ed the district with money to elect him. The assertion Is a lie, as shameless as only McDivitt or the devil could conceive. Mr. Speer has not received a dollar from any man. association, party or league for politi cal purposes, nor has he used one peony to influence a vote. Monitor.
