FOR ACDITOR 02KnALi General WILLIAM M'CAISDLESS, Of Philadelphia. TOR SURVEYOR GEXKRAL: C a rr a in JAMES U. COOPER, Of Lamrenee Count. Both Houses of the Legislature Lavs pass ed a resolution to adjourn to-dav (Saturday) at 12 o'clock. Ok the eight before the meeting of the Radical State Convention, John Scott ad dressed a Philadelphia Radical club, then at Ilarrisburg with the notorious William B. Benn as its leader. In which, among many tilings that were peculiar, he (Scott) said that "in his (Grant's) hands the destinies of the nation are ssfe, for the policy of his administration is the people's will." If this is true, which it is not, it ts moat remarka ble that the Radical State Convention re fused to endorse tlx San Domingo job and the Ko Kiux lLfamj, the only measures whtcd Grant has stubbornly pressed as "the policy of his administration." Did either of these rreidential schenee represent "the people's will ?" The force of public opinion compelled Grant to abandon bis original programme, and let Ban Dorningo be burled ont of sight. The whole process was lawless and fraudulent In its inception, as well as in its subsequent progress, and has disap peared before the opposition cf the people speaking through the press. The effect of his Ka Klux bill, under the manipulation and management of John Scott, who is chairman of the committee of Investigation under it, will prove as disastrous to his ad min'stration as his secret and unauthorized negotiations with his willing friend Baez. Grant has not the ability to inaugurate a wise and statesmanlike policy en aay one subject, and in the most prominent instance in which he has ventured ont of his beaten path te attempt it. a most inglorious failure hai been the result. Oeary Insulted. No more pointed insult could be offered to the Governor of this or any other State than that which was aimed at Jno. W. Geary by the late Radical State Convention. Among the resolutions passed by that con clave of office holders, was the following : Eighth. That our confidence in the firm ness, wisdom and integrity of our present wor thy governor. John V. Ge.trv, remains unsha ken, and we believe his qualifications for tle office he now holds are unquestionable, as is clearly proven in lue manner he baa brought the Mate through every storm. There is a refineoees of cruelty In this un expected stab which, to a roan of John W Geary's well-known modeBty, must be pecu liarly painful. The resolutions were written by Russell Errett, of Pittsburgh, who is an office-holder under Grant, and the ono in reference to Geary has therefore peculiar significance. It is what is called the cut dirtct, and was intended as a notice to Geary that while Cameron and hla understrappers in the con vention might graciously tolerate Geary as Governor, they will not permit him to trespass on the Presidential field, which they regard aa forbidden greund. A man who has twice been elected Governor of a great Commonwealth has a time-honored right to aspire to yet higher political distinction, but this reasonable privelege has been rudely denied to Geary by a convention of his own party, speaking ex cathedra. This Radical frost has nipped Geary's ambition to the very root, jnst when he thought full surely that Lis greatness was about to ripen. It is a spectacle that ought to excite the com miseration of both gods and men. The State Convention. The Demoeratlo State Convention met in the Hall of the House of Representatives at Ilarrisburg, on Wednesday last, and was called to order by Wro. Motchler, Esq.. Chairman of the State Central Committee, who delivered a brief and appropriate ad dress, lien. Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette county, was elected temporary Chairman. The permanent President of the Convention fwa that veteran democrat, Willi a u Hop " kins, of Washington county. On the fourth ballot. Gen. Wa. M'Candlbss. of Philadel phia, was nominated for; Auditor General, and afterwards, on the fourth ballot, Capt. Jambs H. Coopks, of Lawrence county, was nominated for Surveyor Genera!. We will publish the fall proceedings of the Con vention and the platform adopted next week. Every district in the State wasrepresented and the proceedings were marked with per fect harmony. Of the nominees, wa will speak hereafter. The eampaign opens auspiciously. That it will end in a Demo cratic victory we do not entertain a doubt. P. S. Since the above was in type, we have received the proceedings of the convene tion ic full. The platform adopted declares that the Democratic party is in favor of re vising and amending the constitution of the State, and that the people shall vote next October for or against a convention for that purpose endorses the action of the Demo-, cratic members of the Senate on the Appor tionment and Registry bills denounces the force and bayonet laws enacted by Congress declares that the public debt is binding and must be paid -opposes all movements looking towards repudiation, direct or in direct opposes the present system of fed eral taxation and finance depreciates all a-trife between labor and capital, and oppos es Chineae importation recognizes the bind ing force of the constitutional amendments demands economy and retrenchment, and the waving of the public revenue to discharge the public debt declares that the income tax is unjiut and oppressive and ought to be re peal ad and rtcotnmeods a revision of the jrnt tariff", at the tame time properly guarding the Industries of the State. i Greeley In IVew Orleans. On his way to Texas to deliver an address before the State Agricultural Society at Houston, Horace Grcelry stopped at New Orleans, and on the 18tb instant was enter tained by the American Union Club of that city. In his speech to the Club Mr. Gree ley said : "This is my first visit to the South. I come here with a he.irt devoted to the good of the people. They ore not my enemies now who were six or eight years ago. I bear hatred te no one. lie believed the beat men shoald occupy the best places, without any ref creoce to bygone.-,' for the peril which necessi tated the exclusion of some men from the bal lot box no longer exists. lie opposed disfran chisement as 110 longer a necessity, and said THIII TOCID SOT BE A Kv K.LVX.

For that he had struggleJ, and the time was not far distant when evary American would hare bis fair chance at the ballot box, end the majority woa'd rale.' Coming from Harare Greeley this lan guage Is not at all singular, and Is In peifect harmony with the advice he has given to bis political friends In Congress for the last four years. Ever since a reckless and despotic Radical Congress forced negro suffrage upon the South, to gratify its hatred and malice towards the white people of that section. Horace Greeley Las been the outspoken ad vocateof general amnesty, thus neutralizing the bane wtih the antidote. Grant on the other band, with hia well known narrow mindedness and stolidity, has . uniformly opposod a general amnesty bill, and a eer vile Congress has Dot had the courage to disregard his dictation. It was at his in stance, prompted thereto by Morton, Butler, and other Radicals, that the Ku Klux bill was passed, to enable him at his discretion to arrest and punish the members of an or ganization which, according to Greeley's political philsophy, would never have bad an existence if universal amnesty had gone hand in hand with universal suffrage. Grant himself Is therefore the chief sinner, and Is more responsible than other men for whatever outraccs have been committed by Ku Klux marauders. We do not doubt that during the brief term of office that remains to him, be will be consistent in bis opposi tion to a measure that would carry with it such a healing Influence as a bill ef general amnesty. Ox yesterday week the Senate took Tip and passed the House joint resolution giving teu dollars per day extra to the members of the Legislature after April 12th.

No valid excuse can be given for this raid on the treasury. It is simply an outrage, and in the expressive language of FalstafT, is "robbing the exchequer with unwashed hands." The salary of a member, as fixed by law, is cue thousand dollars and mileage, without any limitation as to the length of the session. Who are art to blame for the continuance of the session after the middle of April 7 Net the tax-payers of the Com monwealth, but the members themselves, and they alone should bear the burden. We expected better things from a Demo cratic Senate. Indeed, that body became ashamed of its own action, and on the next day adopted a resolution directing the Speaker not to sign the joint resolution, for the present. Whether the Senate will finally agree to stand by its original vote, or be guided by Its sober second thought, remains to be seen.

In the foregoing paragraph the Gazette perpetrates a wicked and malicious libel upon the truth of history. Its editors evi dently sympathise with that numerous and blessed class ef men who are bsppy Id the bolief, that "Where Ignorance Is bibs, 'tis folly to be uHst." Besides this, they are the representatives of a party that claims a monopoly of all the bralDs and Intelligence of the country, and for that reason their offence Is grievous and not to be condoned. It wonld be as unpar donable an offence against hirtory to say that Napoleon was victorious at Waterloo as that he was defeated at Anstsrlitz. At the latter bloody enconnter the emperors of Russia, Austr'a and Frauce were all pres ent, directing the movements of their armies. The victory of Napoleon was decisive and overwhelming, and his soldiers always re ferred to the battle as "the day of the three Emperors," while Napoleon himself named It "the day of AuslerlilzV Do the editors f the Gazette know what is meant by the expresstsn, "ihe Hun of AusterUtzJ" We commend to their serious reflection the wholesome advice of the poet, "Brink deep, or taste not the Pierian soring a. uu teaming us a aangerous minjr. Although the committee on resolutions of the Radical State Convention refused to report one in favor of the re-nomination of Grant for the Presidency, an amendment to that effect was offered to the ninth resolu tion by Judge Peter Chrysostom Shannon, of Pittsburgh. This amendment, thus sudden ly sprung upon the convention, was strongly resisted by several members of more polit ical sagacity than Judge Shannon, but being presented, the'eonvention dared not refuse to pass it, and it was adopted. The Demo cratic party most cordially endorse Judge Shannou's amendment. It would be satis factory to kuow what office Grant will be stow ou the Judge, as a suitable reward for this successful Jlank movement iu the con vention on his behalf. It was a service that t-'cmanJ ample and speedy recognition A Sad Story. A few days since, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle, we published a little paragraph to the effect that Florella Linton had disap pcared from the home of her parents, and was earnestly entreated by thorn to return to them if she were still alive. The story connected with this paragraph is a strange and sad, though not, we are sorry to say, a sineular one. Florella Linton is a girl of about eighteen years of age, and very beautiful. She is the daughter of respectable prrents of the mid dle class, living in the Sixth ward of this city. The parents are members of the "Church of God" in this place, and their daughter was well and strictly brought up. Some months ago Florella was on a visit to West Newton, and there made the ac quaintance of a man who passed by the Dame of Jacob Shelby. He was a man cf prepossessing appearance and good address and very popular among the Christian pop ulation of the place. He was a regular at tendant at church, and on "prayer-meeting" night his presence was always looked for, and he rarely disappointed expectation by staying away. He wus strong in exhorta tion and edifying in prayer. Altogether, he seemed a most exemplary man. His ac quaintance with Florella rapidly ripened into intimacy, and eventually resulted in a marriage engagement. Florella returned home, and soon Shelby followed her to the city, where he went into business. He satisfied the girl's parents as to his good character, and they approved the proposed marriage. Some six months ago the marriage was consummated, and the couple commenced "keeping house" in tho same neighborhood with the bride's fam ily. For awhile the husband and wife were happy, and life seemed very bright before them. About a month sgo a letter which the husband had carelessly dropped at his father- in-law's houe was picked up. Some recent events had made the father-in-law vaguely suspicious, and he opened and read the let ter. It contained allusions to his son-in- law's children, and indicated that they were oon to be sent to Pittsburgh. Florella's husband was "interviewed" by hoi parents and after some circumlocution he acknowl edged that he had a wife and three children living in Colorado. The manner in which this acknowledgement was received may be imagined. The man who made the confes sion promised to leave Pittsburgh in twenty four hours, with the promise that if be ever returned to the city he should be prosecuted for bigamy. Since this time he has disap peared from the scene. In the gentlest manner possible the infor mation was conveyed to the daughter, who had a marriage certificate and yet was not a wife. Her grief and despair were terrible. She was almost distracted, and it was feared that her reason would permanently leave her. She declared that she could Dot live to face the world after this blow. The parents soothed her as well as they could, and took her to their home, where a close watch was kept upon her, to prevent her carrying suicidal threats into execution. Eventually she became calmer, and seem'' ed resigned to her great sorrow. About a week ego, with her mother's consent, she left the house to go to her former home, for the purpose of bringing back some of her c'othlng. She promised to be gone do more thau an hour, but from that time to this she has neither been seen nor heard of. Her parents fear, and with too great reason, that she has committed suicide. No trace of her has been discovered, though her photo graph has been furnished to a detective, and every effort has been made to find some clue to her whereabouts. Her mother during ber search for ber encountered a young man who had paid bis addresses to the girl, and had been rejected by her in favor of the man who betrayed ber. To him she told the story of wrong and sorrow. The young man at once enter ed heart and soul into the fiearch, and de clares that If the unfortunate girl can be found, and will accept hia hand, be will marry ber in spite of all that has occurred. We have given the statements as they were made to us by responsible parties, aod can only express the hope that the search of the friends may be rewarded with success. A Blast against Beast Butler. Ben Batler baa just mads a speech to the negroes of Boston, which is so extremely Radical as to call forth denunciation from the New York Tribune and other Republican news papers. The Ilarrisburg State Journal, Governor Geary's personal organ, goes for the neatnen .Butler in the following rough style : "Gen. Butler is to-day the greatest bore and imposition the Republican party is compelled to carry, lie is determined, bv hook or by crook, to keep himself in the poblic eye and ear, regardless of how much bo disgraces the party to which he profassos to be attached, or imperils the principles he is supposed to uphold. Such men are never of use to any one but themselves. Imprac ticable as they are insincere, you dare not rely on their performances, or trust their professions. Why can t Gen. Grant cive Butler a roving commission to visit and re main in Europe for the Dcxt two years, and give us a roport on the moving cause of French revolutions. He should do this for Butler or once more bottle him." Grant tried making war upon Butler once, but the Beast prepared a niDO column article on Ulysses for the New York Herald, which was put in type and a proof sent to the President. Grant read the damaging review of his life and career, and then, like Capt. Scott's coon, he came down at once. He uncorked Butler, took him to his bosom, made him a familiar friend, and elevated him to the position of counsellor and confi dential adviser. Tho country was astonish ed at the sudden reconciliation of two men who seemed to hate each other so bitterly. That article, which was put in type for the New York Herald bat which was afterwards withdrawn, did the business. Grant cower ed before the printed assault of Butler, and the pea proved to be mightier than the sword. We hope the sketch of Grant by Butler will yet see the light. It would pro duce a profound sensation. NCMBROTJS PRIVATI MARRIAGES AmOKG Young PaorLSS. Almost, if not quite, a year ago, some half dozen or more of young lads and misses, all of them members of the families of some of our tnostcreputable citizens, took it it into their heads to be mar ried. Whether it was a premeditated affair, considered as a j"ke, or was the wild freak of a moment when they were allfcollected together, and each one more or !sa excited to it by the presence of the others we can not sav. but the ceremonv wm nriat.lw .ml secretly performed for each couple, and they w rauy anu truly married. That many of them considered it merslv a ?nfe i K-ma out by the fact that, after the performance, each returned to his or her home. Ab time passed alone, one after nmhr un n- three confessed their situation and their condact to their surprised and saddened pa rents, and the marriac whirh .m v.- a legal and binding one in alllthese Oases. was acs.aow;eueu. juunira Advertiser. A Xllro-GIycerlns Horror, At twentv-five minutes past one o'clock on yesterday afternoon, four hundred pounds of nitro-glycerine in cans, loaded o a wagon i i r t:i...;1I. TMiut. AvnLin.il UOUUU 1 1 Will AlbUBVlllV fc about three-quarters of a mile this aide of Enterprise, ou, the public highway leading from Titusville. The driver, Mr. Charles C. Clark, who is one of Roberts & Co.'s most carefnl agents, was blown to atoms, as also was tho horse and wagon. A large circular excavation, about four or five feet deep and twelve feet in diameter was made in the middle of the road ; the fences and trees for a considerable distance on either side were shattered into fraguents. A barn, the prop erty of Mr. Confer, about forty rods nearer Enterprise, was blown' to pieces, and the whole neighborhood converted into a com plete wreck.. The butt end of the driver's whip was driven a distance of nearly a quar ter cf a mile, paasing through a window in Mr. Arnamine'a bouse, and knocked his wife senseless. Several persons at a remote distance from the scene cf disaster were so stunned by the shock that they are confined in bed. The houses all along the road lead ing into Eutorprise were more or less injured, beine twisted out of shape iu such a manner, as to prevent the opening or shutting of windows or doors. I he shoes was HKe tnat of aa earthquake, extending for miles and being felt throughout the whole surrounding country and distinctly heard in this city. Several houses here were shaken to their foundations. On Church run the report sounded like a boiler, explosion, and in this vicinity like the low rumbling cf an carih- quake.' Dr. Raguel, with the exception cf the unfortunate Clark, was the nearest indi vidual to the explosion. He was on horse back on his way to Tidioute, and bad made an attempt to pass Clark's wagon, but fell back to allow his going down hill. At the instant of the explosion Raguel was about sixty rods in tho rear, and the concustion of the air almost unseated him, and forced both bim and his horve backward. He was so stunned that he staggered, and the rider received so severe a shock that he could hardly realize' the situation. Immediately after the explosion a telegram was sent from Enterprise to this city, aod large numbers of poople-visited the scene of the disaster. Strange to say Clark's face was found almost entire, without the skull. One eye was blown out and the other was open, glaring and transfixed in death. The mouth and nose and mustache were perfectly natural, and apparently he had not time even to put on an expression of alarm. All the remaining portions of the body were scsttcred so widely and ao torn into such diminutive fragments that it was difficult to tell which belonged to the man and which to the horse. Ai the time onr reporter reached the spot the sup posed human remnants wore lying in a bas ket. A telegraph pole on the roadside bore strong evidence of instantaneous demolition, leaving the wire intact over the head. The woods on the upper side of the road were set on fire in several places, but it was sub sequently extinguished. Tho appearance of what was once the horse and wagon beggars all description. The forquarters of the animal was lying in the roadway, the shoes of tho fore feel gone, and the entrails and binder parts scattered ; while a broken shaft and small pieces of steel and iron were all that could be collectod of the wagon. The fragments of steel were for the most part twisted into peculiar shapes and broken with ragged edges. Titusville Herald, Sat urday. Thrillixg Adventure of a Child Capsized and Swept Over the Falls. At Addyville. Ulster Co., N. Y., resides a fami ly name Castney, consisting of father, mother and an only child named Susan, about three years cf age. Saturday Mrs. Castney. hav ing occasiou to go for water, toik Susan with ber, and while she was drawing water from the creek, the child strayed from her. and stepping unobserved into a boat which was moored to the shore, she loosened it and it began drifting down stream. When Mrs. Castney was ready to return home, she look ed about for her child, and saw her alone in the boat far from shore, and rapidly rearing the falls below, which are twenty feet in height. The mother shrieked, and ber cries soon brought a number ot persons. As they looked in mute suspense the boat suddenly capsized, and the littlo form was 6een strug gling io the water. When the struggle ceased the littte girl was seen clinging to the guard of the boat, which now was almost on the verge of the falls. As it drifted nearer and nearer destruction the woman shrieked, and the stontest hearts quailed. A moment more, and both child and boat bad disap peared . By this time a multitude had gathered near the foot of the falls, and as the skiff, with the little girl still clinging to it, plung ed over, a boat shot out from the shore and rescued the child. At first she- was sup posed to be dead, but after awhile she re vived, and was fully recovered. Paris Emtbbed. After three days heavy fighting the Versailles troops succeeded on Monday in entering Paris at two points the gate of St. Cloud in the southwest quarter and the gate of Montreuge on the south. The efforts of Marshal; MacMahon have been directed principally against these parts cf Paris, and we learn by the dispatch es that previous to the entry of the city that the St. Cloud gate was battered down. Montrouge was stormed and captured. Auteuil and Pansy had been bombarded in cessantly, and the ramparts of the city swept by a terrible fire. The communists made desperate efforts to repair and protect the gates, but without avail. After the capture of Montrouge and Petit Vanves they fell back and re-entered Paris in the greatest disorder. General Douai's division followed on their heels and rushed in by the St. Cloud gate. A flag of truce was hoisted at Auteuil, inside the ramparts, and Douai advanced as far as the viaduct of the Circu lar Railway, meeting but feeble resistance. Generals Ludmirault and Clinchamps were preparing to follow. The Paris dispatches state that General Cecelia has retreated. into the city, that Dombowski is in command in the Bois de Boulogne, and that Wroblswaki is at Gentilly, which is southeast of Mon trouge. There is a panic in Paris, and it is reported that Pyat, Grousset, and other in surgent leaders have dieappeared. The crisis has come, and the Commune is evident ly in the last ditch. The Roman Catholics of the entire world have turned anxious eyes to Pome, and wait with patience to see if the sovereign Pontiff will live to celebrate the twenty-fifth anni versary of his reign as Head of the Church. Tho anniversary of his election occurs on the 16th of next month, and, inasmuch as it has been a popular belief that no Pops could oc cupy the chair as long as St. Peter is said to have filled it, all are much interested and the day is anxiously awaited for a confirmation or denial of the truth of the tradition. Pope Pius celebrated bis 79th birthday on the 13th inst. A rumor says that ho is now dangerously ill and that death seems close at hand. Of the 257 Popes who preceded him none had a longer reign.

A child who recently ate some fragments clipped from an oleander bush was poisoned, tho symptoms beiDg suddeD and violent, and the result almost fatal. The Courier Journal says : We are told by the Albany Argus that "Gen. Sherman's father died when he was a lad, leaving a large family of children." This, if true, is a very remarkable circumstance. The lad may have died and left the children, but we can never be made to believe that tbey were his own. A hen in Monogchela City was found on Wednesday iu a wood pile, where it had been jammed in, unable to escape, without food tr water for twenty days. This is al most beyond belief, but is attested.

More than five hundred thous and new trees were planted the past season. In the Legislature of South Carolina there are fifty negroes aud thirteen white members. Of the fifty negroes, only thirty two can read aud write, and nineteen only pay taxes, the sum total of their contribu tions to the support of the government be ing $146.10.

Minn., shot herself on Friday of last week with a Spencer carbine, by placing the muz zle of the gun to the lower part of the abdo men, and, as is supposed, touching the trig ger with her toe. The ball passed diagonally through the body, coming out at the back near the shoulder-blade. She made one scream as the gun went off, and died in two or three minutes. The New York Globe says it is reminded of rather a good story, told of the former iliss L,ane while she was tbe cbaruing mis tress of tbe Executive Mansion.

A gentlemen living in Chesanlng, Michi gan, recently sent a dispatch, to Col. Parke, of Nebraska, saying : "I shall be at Omaha, meet mo there." The operator oaaitted the "t" in the word ""there," so the dispatch read, " meet me here." The Colonel at once started on his journey of eleven hun dred milts, and only learned his mistake on arriving at Cbesaning. That was a dear mis take, and it is proposed to ascertain who shall foot the bill. A Taris dispatch cf the 24th inst. says that the insurgents have fired the palaces of the Tuileries and Louvre, besides numerous other buildings, and it is feared that they will destroyed a large portion of the eity.

It came over the axletree of a buggy in a ravine six miles from Montfomery. and the next day such vast quantities cif it remained on the ground that the people hauled it off and stored it far ice in blocks of from twenty to thirty pounds each. The crops in the track of the storm are a perfect wreck all lost. DoOTOR Livingstokk. Dispatches from Dr. Kirk to Lord Granville, dated Zanzibar, March 10. and read recently by Sir Roderick Murchlson before tho Royal Geographical Society, gave considerable assurance of tho safety of Dr. Livingstone. He was alive and well last November, and stiii pursuing hia explorations in the interior of Africa. Letters from Uj ji state that on tbe 18th of November he was at the town rf Moroboso with Mobamed beo Gharib, waiting for car avans and other means to continue his trav els. He was without means and had only eight meti, so that he could not move for ward or return. Supplies of American cloth, coffee, sugar, salt, shoes, powder, shot, quinine and beads have been sent bim from the Zanguebar coast. Ujiji is a town in the interior of Africa on Lake Tanganika, and was discovered by Burton in 1859. Dr. Livingstone has advanced far beyond that point. iHIRTY THOUSAND si Pi 3DOLI'AR PAID.
