TOn AITUTOR tiE?KRAt.: Uknbral WILLIAM M'CANDLESS, Of I'tiilru'clpMa. row srnvsvoB gebrat,: Captain JAMES II. COOl'EK, Of Lawrence County. Wk will pay our respects iicxt wr-ck to the cundiJntes on our Stat ticket. The pressure ou our columns hae caused this delay. Thb extra fetsion of the United States He nate adjourned last Saturday. The treaty framed by the Joint High Commission be tween this country and Great Britain wbs ralifiod by a vote of 60 yeas to 12 uaya. It will be recollected that during last March (Jiant issued a high sounding proclamation de clining South Carolina in a state of insurrec tion, and proceeded to send a liheral supply of troops there to quell this imaginary domestic violence. Last week, Scott, the carpet bag Governor, was in Washirgton and informed Crant that no insurrection exists in that State, and that the ciril authorities are fully coinpe tent to preserve the peace and to subdue all attempts at lawlessness. Will Grant now with draw bia troops and permit the people of that State to have peae? In auotber part of today's paper will be f.und an address to tho people of Tennsjl vania. issued by the Democratic members of the Legislature, in reference to tho refusal of thoRidical majority in the House to agree to certain amendments to tho Philadelphia liCgistry law, which had been adopted by the Senate. It is a plain statement of facta connuctwl with the legislation on the subject duilng tho late sossion, and conclusively proves that tho Radical majority in the lower branch of the Legislature wero tho obedient hlaves of William Bi Maun and his corrupt ring of ballot-box stuffier, and that they are opposed to a fair and legal election. It will be seen from tho address that the leads "ug Republican papers of the city admitted the positive necessity of the amendments, in order that frauds on the ballot-box might be prevented and the popular will have a full and fair expression ; yet the influence of the ring was too powerful, and all &t tempts to modify the objoctionablo features of the law failed. It now remains for the honest and independent Republican voters of Puiladelphia to rebuke, through the ballot-box, the persistent refusal of tho Radicals in the House to conseut to a change of this odious and unjust law. and we believe tby will do so from a plain seneo of justice to their political opponents and a determina tion to preserve the purity of elections. Os the day after seventeen members of the State Ssoate thirteen being Democrats and four Rvlicals had passed the House joint resolution allowing the members ten dollars extra per day from the 12th of April, thy adopted a resolution instructing the speaker not to sign the bill. This was re garded as a virtual defeat of the measure. But this was not to be. for the members all received their extra, and that could not have takon placo unless the rc-solullon had.been rescinded. The sum out of which the treas ury of the State Las been thus swindled amounts to about tixty thousand dollors. When this joint resolution was smuggled throngh tha House, under the peculiar rul ing of tho Infamous Sam Josephsthe Dem ocratic press promptly denounced it as an other instance of Radical plunder; but now that a Democratic Senatehas finally endorsed it, the virtnous indignation of Democratic editors has suddenly collapsed, aud not a whisper of rebuke is to be heard. In their judgment vow all the legislation of the Senate was unselfish , patriotic, and based upon the pnrest motives. We admit that most cf it wasjof that character, but this is a notable exception, and it cannot be palliated, much less defended. The 'facts connected with the passage of this joint rewlution throngh the Senate will materially impair. the confi dence of the people!in any Domocratic-pro-fsssioDS in favor of legislative economy and retrenchment that may hereafter bo made.' A Constitutional Convention. Senator Buckalew's bill (submitting the question of caUing a Convention to alter and amend tho Constitution of the State to a vote of tho people at the next October elec tion, passed both branches of tbe Legislature If the majority of the people decide In favor f a convention, as we have no doubt thoy vdlL. additional legislation on the subject will ba required at the next seseion of the Legislature. The meeting of the convention eu!d not take- place before tho middle of xext summer. The course- of tho Radicals iu the Legislature oa this question was as ws'ilar as it was unprecedented. They OfigiEaod- and for a long time stubbornly adhered to a bill giving the people the right to vote In favor of or against a convention, and also, on t5e j.z day, to elect its mem- ler.

On tho evening before the meeting of the Democratic State Convention, the lloya mensiug Democratic Association of Phila delphia arrived in llarrieburg and was es corted to Brant's Hall by the Central Demo- ciatio Cinb of that city, where a meeting was held. Loud calls being made for Gen. McCaudless, that gentleman addressed tho crowd as follows : Mr. TVosident, and especially you gcntle nieu from Philadelphia, will agree with me ttiat ttiis is neither the liuie nor occasion to cuter into a dintussion of the political iniqui ties of radicalism. But is your President, Gei.erl llouiufort, has well "said, "in your selectioa of candidates on to morrow select no man who is not honest, and n man who has to be defended." To that I say amen, and going one step farther declare that to morrow's dawn will see gathered in this city the advance gunrJ of 3U0.000 white democratic fieemeu ot this commonwealth, who, throwing at the feet of radicalism the gauntlet of aggressive war fare, demand the restoration of those state rights which protect individual liberty and con stitutional privileges against the aggrandize ment ot federal centralization. For ten years we have been upan the defen sive. During that time you.have seen a press, corrupted by patronage, hurling i:s anathemas and publishing its Blunders against the loyalty of democracy. You have seen the ballot box polluted under the provisions of a registry law far more infamous than tho Draconian code. You have seen the poor perjured creature who does the bidding of Master Radical in al terin'' the election returns go to jail by tbe ac tion of an honest judiciary, and I regret say that you see, what is more humiliating than all, the governor of oui great stato extending, under the whip and svuR, the executive clem ency to a roan whose crime struck tjeep into the very "vitals of our form of government. You have seen in our great city, where free dom of speech, freedom ot the press and free dom of conscience was born and matured on this continent, that in less than a century tbe bayonets of the federal marines were gleaming in our streets upon election day to maintain a despotism by interfering with the freedom of our elections. This was the last feather that broke the camol's back. Tho people became alarmed as they saw themselvct at the mercy ot this irrtspousible power, and now they aro turning their eyes to you anxiously desiring that you shall maintain the true foundation of either state or national grestness by presenting for their sufi'rage men of political morality and personal integrity. 1 know you will do it the pulse of the dem ocracy beats strong and healthy. Any man who loves his country better than he loves a party will throw aside all personal considera tions of individual advancements, and laying his prejudices on the altar of his country, he wiU, with unselfish patriotism, select some man against whose civil or military record the tongue of slander dare not wag. Tut him ou a platform tliat grappa the living issues of the hour, defends the rights of labor, accepts the situation of negro emancipation, and all the amendments constitutionally adopted. They are law, aud must be obejred until tho supreme court says nay. Cease to do battle upon tilings that have departed, and remember that no animal but an ass kicks a dead lion. I talk thus earnestly to you.gentleinent, in order that you may exercise your reason and act with judgment. By the adoption of these principles you will have the vanuge ground, and if you are ouly led with the energy ami ability with which you will follow, Pennsylvania will be rcdoemed and rudicalisin will topple to its fall. Tlie Legislature. To the infinito reilef of the people, the Legislature, after a session of almost Jive monllu, adjourned on last Saturday. For the good it did it will receive adequate praise and for the evil it failed to accom plish sincere thanks will be rendered to an overruling Providence. The exlraordiary length of the session is mainly aUribu'.ible to the partisan acticn of the Radicals in tho IIouso on the Apportionment bill. Tho bill which they passed, and for a long time re fuse to recede from, was more palpably unjust and one-sided than even tho bill of 18C4. It was owing to tho firm and immova ble stand taken by the Democratic members of the Senate that w e a-e indebted for the pas sage of the present bill, whichpproximates to a degree of fairness and political equity, which the Radicals at first were deteimined never to grant, but which they were finally compalled to accept. It will be impossible to tell what laws of a general character were enaoted nutil the small pamphlet containing them, consisting of about seventy pages, is furnished by tbe public printer, to be fol lowed some time in August by the usual hago volume of "Acts," showing the entire work of tho session. The Governor signed the AppToprletion bill under a protest. This bill, the most important of the session, is never matured and sent to the executive until a day or two before the final adjourn meut, when bo is constrained either to ap prove it as a whole, or veto it because of his objections to some of its provisions, and thereby prolong the time fixed for adjourn merit, or else call an extra session. To re lieve the Governor from this dilemma tho constitution ought to be so amended as to coufer on him the power bf withholding his asseut to certain sections of the bill and ap proving the remainder, and also compelling the Legislature to present the bill to him at least fifteen days before its adjournment. An amendment to the Constituton was pro posed, providing for the election of the State Treasurer by the people. If any man supposes tbat this cbang will remove any of the'well known ami inherent irregalari ties in the management of the affairs of tbat office, he is wonderfully mistaken. The bill restoring the Spring eloctions passed. The Local Option bill died, i it deserved to do. in tbe bands of tbe Seuate committee. The bill prcbibiDg the a!a of spirituous liquors on eloalioa days, for some reason unknown to us, alro failed. Other bills of a pnblio nature may have passed, of the character of which at tbi writing we have no knowl edge. Stat Sunday-School Cokvkntioh. The Seventh Annual Convention of the Pa.

Address of the Demora tic Members of tbe l.ogisiaUiire. The undersigned present to their constitu ents and to the people of the commonwealth this statement of facts in relation to tbe Phil adelphia registry law, in the hope and witli tho belief that it will arouse attention to tho palpable violation of tho right of a large number of our fellow-citizeus to a voica in the selection of their election officers ; to the opportunities for fraud, corruption and forged returns it affords ; to the excitement to violence and bloodshed it contains, and to the desperate character of the men who perpetuate their own power by thesa means despite the wishes and the "ballots of a ma jority of the people of that city. Tbe act of assembly known as the registry law was passed on the 19th day of April, 18C9. The provisions thereof applicable to the rural districts are essentially different from those applicable to the city of Phila delphia. An entirely different system was created therefor. Under the latter the board of aldermen or justices of the peace for that city were vested with power to select three canvasseis for each election district therein. whoe dutv was to make out the list of voters, and who had power conferred upon them to strike from taid listB or add thereto at their pleasure, and buch action was to be Dual aud could not be appealed from. The board of alderman also appoints the fficers to hold the elections in each election division. and by the lasv they were directed to ap potut the judgo, one inspector anu one re turn inspector from the political party which polled the majority of legal votes in the election division at the next preceding general election and one iuspector and one return inspector from the political party which polled the next highest number at such election. It will thus be seen that this law for Philadelphia took from the people of each election division therein the right to select their own election officers, and vested it in a tribunal whose duties under the Constitution and laws have no relation to that subject. Under tho registry law for the rural districts tbe assessors elected by the poople make out the canvass lists and complete the registry, aud the people tbemselvos choose their elec tion officers in each election district. The law for Philadelphia is therefore directly in conflict, upon these two impcrtaut points, with the law for the other parts of the State. It is, iu this, destructive of a vital principle of local self-government, and tramples on a right which has come to be recognized as a fundamental American principle. Why were theso great powcis takon from the peo ple of each division and vested in the board of aldermen ? Tbe answer is found in the fact that the board was partisau in its char acter, and could be dopeuded upon to exer cise its authority in the interests ol a corrupt clique. The majority of tbe board of aldermen consliluta the board and that majority has the power to appoint all of the election offi cers, as well those to which the minority are entitled as thoso of the majority, yet at tha organization cf that board iu 18C9, its mora hers by solemn resolution at the suggestion of the court, gave to the minority of the board the right to choose the minority of the election officers. In this they acted justly and tacitly admitted the injustice of this grossly partisan law.. This act of fairness has been rescinded by tha action of the board, and the Republican majoiity now appoint a majority of tho canvassers, tho Republican election officers and the Democratic election officers. Uador the dictation of corrupt and desperate men this power has grown to be a mo6t fruitful source of impurity iu the elec tions of Philadelphia, Men are appointed as canvassers who know no law and recog nize no system of morals, but the success of their party and the attainment of their own selfish ends and those of their designing leaders. They without hesitation strike from tho registry lists the names of voters who are duly qualified, and add thereto the names of thoee who have no shadow of right to vote. ATo legal power exists to pyreveni these in famou wrongs. One member of the Legis lature holds his place to-day because tho names of one hundred and forty-eight legal voters from his district were struck from the registry without authority of law aud for purely partisan purposes. In the selection of election officers tho board of aldermen take especial caro to choose astute and unscrupulous Republican who will do the bidding of their party friends and almost invariably select illiterate, weak or corruptible men as Democratic election officers. In many cases, indeed, tbey violate the plain letter of -tho law by appointing Republicans instead of Demo crats. One of the officere of the recent Re publican State Convention was a man who had been appointed and had acted as a "Democratic" election officer at the last election! By tho election of shrewd and unscrupulous men upon one side and of in competent and corruptible men upon the other, the door to fraud and wrong is widely opeued and the purity of tha ballot is utter ly destroyed. Such has now come to be the case in ths city of Philadelphia, and the voice of her people is stifled by the wiles and machinations of lawless men acting under the forms cf an unjust statute. Canvass lists are "doctored ballot boxes are stuffed; returns are altered, forged aud manipulated, and fraud and violence in their worst forms are resorted to in order to maintain the po litical supremacy of desperate and evil men. The true remedy for these wrongs consists in restoring to the people the rights taken from them and in making the general law applicable to tho city of Philadelphia. We were powerless to effect this in the present condition of the Legislature, and we have soitght to to amend the law as in some degree to lessen the evils now bo glaring. The measures we have again 'and again during this session proposed to the Republicans for enactment, and which have been invariably rejected by them, are throe in number. First. That the minority of the board of aldermen shall have tho right to select their due proportion of the election officers for each election division. Second. That the judgea of the eourt of common pleas shall have the right to super vise the aetion of the canvassers in making np the registry lit, and to restore the name of any legal voter left off, and to strike off the names of any improperly placed thereon Third. That the board of retarn judgee- Bhall meet to count toe returns of election in the presence of the aforesaid judges, who shall have power summarily to prevent fraudulent returns from being counted and to determine any question arising therein. These provisions are so eminently just and proper tbat the nowspaper press of Philadel phia, without distinction of party, has ap proved them, and we append extracts there from showjng this fact. Leading members of the Republican party in the House . of Representatives have unqualifiedly endorsed them, bat have been compelled by a party caucus to vote against them and prevent their enactment. The Pres of Philadelphia, ia an article upon the proposed amendment of the regis try Jaw, April 2Z, 1871, eaid : "To the proposition to have the return judges meet in the presence of tho judges of' we have no ob IUC loui Wl vvuv j,.- . iection, save that the provisions of the law as regards tneir meetings factory as it stands." The Philadelphia Evening JiuUeim, April 27, 1871. says : tk fttW amendment renmrei tnat the voteehall be counted in the presence of the court of common pleas. ".Now there is no gooa oujecuou vj wui. last amendment." The Philadelphia rosl of January 26, 1871, Baid: "Anyone who will succeed in devising a plan by which tbe nsual scenes of violence and disorder which have attend ed these meetings for some years past will bo precluded, will do Philadelphia an incalcula ble service, aud deserve the gratitude of tbe people. The annual meetings of the return judges have become to be regarded with as mHch apprehension by peaceably disposed people as wouia do a pucneu um have been arenas of carnage, rather than an assemblage of a judicial character, and riot ing and fatal casualties have been the natu ral concomitants. They may net be inci dental to the system, but the fact remains that they seem to be a part of it, aud public morality and public security demand a radi-. cal change. mere follow extracts of like Import from the Philadelphia Eceiiina .Jiullctin, iu'uiirr. ana Public Ledger, but want of space prevents us from publishing tlieru. Koitok.1 Upon tbe question to indefinitely post rnr.r th Snato amendments bv the House, (which amendments were the three proposi tions specified; on May 19, 1871. Mr. Elliott said : 1 desire to state that I vote upon this question in accordance with the views of my political associates. I there fore vote aye. Mr. Mann said : Upon this question I vote in aecordance with tbe judgment of my political associatos and against my own. I therefore vote "aye." These amendments were Indefinitely post poned by a strict party vote 47 to 41 ex cept that William F.Smith, of Philadelphia, voted with the Democrats. We have labor ed during this entire i.ession to bring about this much Deeded reform, because we have felt that it would measurably restore the purity of the ballot box iu Philadelphia, that it would aid in preventing false person ations and fraud upon the registry, that it would prevent the fraudulent counting and false returns of votes, and that the restraining power of a judicial tribuual would prevent the recurrence of scenes of riot, bloodshed and murder heretofore occurring at the meeting of the board of return judges. We have failed in the attaiument of these just ends, and we now deliberately charge that the republican organization, in obedience to a party caucus, controlled by a riDgof Phil adelphia politicians, has prevented these necessary reforms and thus aided In perpet uating fraud, false counting, forgery of elec tion returns and riot, bloodshed and murder. Tho responsibility ia upon them, and not upon u. Signed by the Democratic Senators and Mem bers of the House, whose names wo have also been compelled to omit for want of room.J Fobwabd THtt Colcmx! The New York Sun grows enthusiastic over the platform adopted by the Democrats at Harrisburg the other day. Hear it: At the state convention of tbe dsmccrats of Pennsylvania, held at Harrisburg on Wednesday, to nominate candidates for the election which takes'place on Tuesday, Oc tober 10, tbe platform adopted was in all essential particulars the same as that of the memorable meeting held under the auspices of Mr. Vallandinghatn in Montgomery county, Ohio, on the 18th inst. Thus the domocraey of the Keystone state take their stand upon the same great principles with tbe democracy of Ohio. They recognize all tha binding obligations of all tho amendments to the constitution of the United States, and declare their hostility to any discussion which proposes to overset universal suffrage, or to limit the political or civil rights of any class of people for whose protection those amendments were specially designed. There can now be llttlo question that these ideas will be adopted with unanimity and enthasiasm by the democracy of the whole Union, and that the presidential elec tion of 1872 will be fought upon them. When Pennsylvania and Ohio speak In this manner, their declarations must be echoed by Massachusetts, by Illinois, by Missouri, and by all the states of the South. This puts an end forever to the hope of reviving the issues cf the rebellion for use in any fu ture presidential election ; and it puts an end forever to all possibility of the re-election of General Grant by any party or any platform. The democracy show the highest political wlsdem in their enunciation of th'u memora ble and patriotic programme. Now let us seo if they can display equal wisdom in the selection of their men. With such men as William S. Grocsbeck as their candidate for the presidency, and John Quincy Adams as their candidate for the vice-proaidency, and with this progressive platform, their success in 1872 becomes more than probable. Tna Defeat op tem Commune. News from Versailles, under date of May 28th, reports that the remaining insurgents sur rendered unconditionally at nine o'clock this morning. The slaughter on Saturday night was awful. Altogether the suppression ef the Commune cost over sixty thousaud lives and the destruction of one-third of Paris. Lohdou, May 28 10 A. m. Dispatches received during the night from Paris and Versailles all represent that the Commune is dying hard. The insurgents fought with desperation in the Cemetery of Pere-la-Chaise. The departure of the Prussian Guards from Franco has been deferred. Vbrsaili.es, Sunday, Noon, via London, S r. m. Tbe insurgents have shot tbe Archbishop of Paris, the Abbe Duguerry, and sixty-two other hostages remain fag in their possession. The troops had previous ly captured La Roquette, and saved 169 hos tages detained there. Outside Paris, Sunday Evening. All is quiet within the city. Not a shot has been fired since tea o'clock this morning. The firemen 'have the; flames under con trol, but there is still much smoke. The Prussians at Romaicville made 1,000 prisoners, including several armed women, on Saturday evening. All the insurgents who came within their lines were disarmed and placed under guard. ProvisioQ trains are entering1 the city. There is great rejoicing within and with or.t the city over the termination of the strug gle. Near the town of Gtlena, Texas, is a spring, the waters of which simulate lemon ade in their taste. Those who drink of it become Immoderately fond of its flavor. A peculiar fact is that it always induces a gen tle perspiration, whether in warm or cold weather. The spring hat no apparent out let, or inlet, Is socio sist feet ra diameter, and is covered with a white foam resembling tbe cream of tarter on a wine cask. Insects, worms, and small animals are killed if they approach it too nearly, and no fish are found in its waters,. Another Avondalo Blsasler. Burning of a al Mine RUaft-Terrlblc Lost or Life. Pittstoh, May 23. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in tje eoal shaft of Blake & Company, West P:tts too, in top roller, caused by friction. In less than two hours tho whole shaft had been destroyed. There were sixty men at the bottom f the shaft, but by the good management and courage of the engineer, all were got out but thirty-6even. He let tbe carriage down five times, but the last three times it came up empty. It is sup posed they did not understand tho signals. Tho engineer worked till he was to badly bnrned tbat he had to leave his post. tk. .ritmnh &11 last oisht continued intense. At 12J o'clock, a car, which had been rigged up, reached the bottom. At 1 m,.a v, fir&t man rarne nn. alive: tha i tlUA Ufa ' L f uext two that were brought up were ofad. The car continued making the trip, up and down the mine, as. fast as men could be found to go up and down, until 1 o'clock this afternoon, when the last man was brought up. Although sixteen who had been brought np ahead of him were dead, the last oua was living, There were thirty-soven left in the mine and all, have been brought out. Twenty, one of them were brought up a'.ive'and six teen dead. It is thought tbat tho deaths were caused by suffocation, although some assert that two or three of them were drown ed. The men wero found In the extrema western portion cf the tnino as far back as tbey could'get. Their suffering must have been terrible. Mr. Wm. Abbott, one of the Pennsylva nia Coal Company's men, says that when he went down in tho mino this rooming, he found that the water was but three or four feet deep, but the air was so bad that it was only by, the most strenuous exertions that he was abTc to retain strength sufficient to get the men out. He bad two assibtants, who were almost unable to aid him in the least. The people here, while sorrowing for the dead, cannot help giving vent to feelings of thankfulness that so many wero saved. One of the men that has recovered since gives the following : We discovered the mice to bo on fire about 3.30. that is about half an hour aftr the fire broke;out. We immedi ately built a bairicade, and got behind it, when we made a prayer and sung a hymn, and then waited for our fate. I can remem ber nothing that occurred after 6 o'clock. Of those brought up alivo two have died this evening. An inquest will be held to morrow morning at 9 o'clock. The funerals of the dead wil! take placo on Monday and Tuesday. There has been at least twelve thousand visitors at the scene of the disaster to-day, and the excite ment has been very great all day. It is thought several of those who were brought out alive cannot live, but all is be ing clone for them that is possible for any human being to do. At tho churches and Sunday-bchools to-day the attendance was so meagre that tho regular order of devotion al exercises was not attempted. The feel ings of the community can better be imagined than described, and now that all anxiety for those in the mine is past, every one seems to be looking to the welfare of thoo liring, yet so near death. Much honor to the eng'neer, James Mc Dermott, who bravely stood at his post, and, while the devouring element wrought disas ter around him, and even burned his face, arms andjboots. he succeeded in robbing the death-lUl of eighteen victims, who otherwise would have periohed, and not until the wire rope, secured to tbe carriage in hoisting, snapped at whl:o heat did thi3 noble and brave man desist from his labors. AN APPEAL TO THK CHARITABLE. Pittstok, May 30. To the benevolent public, In behalf of a grief-stricken commu nity, paralyzed by a repetition of tbe great disaster at Avondale, wo appeal to you for substantial aid. Of sixty-five miners who entered the shaft at this placo on Saturday morning, forty-five have been taken out alive, many of whom cannot long Burvive. Thoee who have already died will be buried to-day, mournod by tha wholo community. They leave behind them twelve widows and thirty-six orphan children. In their behalf we ask your charity. Six months of en forced Idleness has made tho community poor. Those who had the wherewithal to give, have given during their ability. Many, very many, are still on the very verge of starvation, and now, jnst as renewed labor had begun to cheer their hearts, wo are stricken down by this awful calamity. Will you give us your mite, to relieve the widow and tho fatherless. All contributions may be sent to Theadore Strong, Esq., President or the First National Bank of Pittston.- Signed, O. F.

Archbishop Dardoy, whose murder by the Commune fiends is confirmed, was born in January, 1813. and was ordained a priest io 183C. In 1844 ho came to Paris, where Mgr. AfFre appointed hirn Almoner of tho College of Henry IV. Ha was made editor of the Msnitaur Calholique, General Almoner and Vicar-General (honorary), and with the title of Inspector of tho Religious Schools of the Diocese. In November, 1847, he ac companied Archbishop Affro to Rome, where the Pope conferred on him the t'rtlo of Pro thonotary Apostolic. In the next year M. Darboy wa appointed Vicar-General of Paris and in 1859 Bishop of Nancy. In January, 1863, he was nominated for the Archiepisco pal See of Paris as the successor of Mgr. Sl bour, and was installed in April following. In January, 1864, he was Almoner to the Emperor, and was called to tbe Senate by a decree of October, the same year. Ho was made a member of the Imperial Council of Public Instruction in 1866. In 1863 he reached the post of Grand Officer of the Le gion of Honor. On the 7th of April he was arrested by order of the Commune, in com pany with his sister and the cures of several churches, and their residence sacked. The cold-blooded mnrder of this venerable prelate and sixty-three priests was not an unfitting climax to the hideons rule of the Gol-defy-ing ruffians who terrorized Paris for nearly three months. Tbe world can no longer be blind to the meaning of the infidel "pro gress" that has laid a third of Paris in'aahes and drenched its streets with blood. Y. Metropolitan Record.
