FOB Al'EITOB GENERAL 1 GwutL WILLIAM M'CANDLESS, ron ecrtsvoi rkt;sai.: Captain- JAMES IL COOPEIt, Of L tnrcnce County. In aiu.tler column of our jajicr will be fjuixl an act of Assernb'y, passed by the Fnfct Legislature for the regulation of bor oughs. The third section provides for what is known as the cumulative system of vo ting in the election of members of the town council. This svbtern has bten tested in the election cf these ofiicers in Bloomsburg Columbia county, with the most satisfactory results. At some future time we will refer to it at length and explain Its operation. Last week two of the Commissioner! of Allegheny county, Neely, Republican, and McUee, Democrat, who were indicted for accepting bribes in granting tavern licenses, pleaded guilty and were sentenced by the ciurt to pay a fine of two thousand dollars and to undergo an imprisonment in the ct unty work-house for one year. Both Nee ly and M'Qce stood high in the estimation oi me community until their corrupt prac tices were discovered end publicly exposed Their ense presents a sad picture of official delinquency, and at th same time places them beyond the pale- of genuine sympathy. Wh. II. Iiosu, Esq., enr representative at Ilarrisburg, was in town last week attend ir.g court. We paid close attention to Mr Rose's course in the legislature during tLe late session and found nothing In It which did not meet our approval. On all ques tions of a public character, which came be fore the House, such as tho Apportionment bill and the Philadelphia registry bill, ha acted with his political friends in forcing the radical majority to act honestly in reference to the former, and to do justice to the Dem ocracy of Philadelphia in the latter. Of one thing we feel very confident, and that is. that Mr. Rose in no instance eormptly Bol his vote and thereby dishonored bis constit uents. At the election In New Hampshire, which took place last March, there was no election of Governor by the people, and therefore, under a provision of the constitution of the State, the election of that officer devolved upon the legislature. That body assembled last week, and, after a wearisome contest, the Democrats, aided by the labor reform members, organized the Assembly by the election of a Democratic Spsaker. Clerk, and other officers. On Saturday last the mem bers of the Senate and Hotjsq met in joint convention and eloctcd James A. Weston Democrat, Governor, by a vote of 1C7 iigaiust 159 received by James Pike, radical. The State government be.Dg thus once more under Democratic control, it is safe to pre dict that New Hampshire will assist in swell lag tho grand Democratic triumph in tho Presidential election of 1872. Call Fob a Labor Convention. We cheeifully give place to tie following call for a convention of the workingmen of this State, and trust that the move-vent, should it prove worthy of it, as we have no doubt it will, may be a complots success : IIbadquaktkrs Labor Union, No Dan ville. Pa.. May, 15. 1871. To All Trade Unions. Believing the time has come to effect a thorough organization of the work ingmen cf Pennsylvania, under the plat form of the National Labor Union, has ar rived, by the power vested in me by R. F. Trevellick, President of the National Labor Uuion of the United States, authorizing and directing me to call together without delay delegates from all trades unions or labor as sociations through t thi6 btate, I do hereby request all unions, trades or labor associa tions, to appoint two delegates, to convene together at Danville, Montour county. Pa., on Tuesday, the 27th day of June, 1871, for tho purpose of forming a State Labor Uuiou and to transact any business that may come before said convention. Victor A. Lotier, Executive cf State. Slieuunn and I lie Presidency. The following letter coming from a true end tried soldier like Sherman, 13 directly to tho question and fairly hits the mark. It , is something as new as it is remarkable, in the political movements cf the country, to fee so distinguished a man as Sherman thus deliberately but firmly putting aside all at tempts to iuduce him to become a candidate for the Presidency. The mott notable fea ture of this letter, is the utter absence of any allusion in it to the propriety of nomi nating Grant for a second term. When it is remembered, however, that in his late speech at New Orleans General Sherman de nounced the reconstruction measures of Con gress as well as the infamous Ku-K!ux law, Lis omission to say anything in favor of Grant or his administration is easily account ed for. Gen. Sherman is a close observer of passing events and their ultimate- results, and is too shrewd a man to identify himself with tho waning political fortunes of Grant. Four Sjll, Comanche Reservation, ) May 25, 1871. J To He Editor rfthe Herald I have been bkirting the Texas frontier for the pant month, and here for the first time I meet files of Eastern papers, by which I see quito an unnecessary muss has been raised by a jiurported speech made by mo at a supper of the Uuion League Ciub of New Orleans the night preceding my departure from that city. Whoever reported that as a speech by me committed a broach cf propriety, for Governor Warmouth presided, and before I consented te rospoud to a call, I was assured ly the President of the society that no re ; porters were present, mid that whatever was would be sacred and confined to the I .ersnn present, how, as to politics. I think all my personal friends know my deep eatcd antipathy to the tuljcct ; yt as you iccm wot to understand rr.c, I hereby sialo, and mean all that I say that I never have bern and never will be a candidate for Pres ident ; and if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve. If yon can find language stronger to con vey this meaning you are at liberty to use it. I am, your obedient servant, W. T. Sur.r.MAN, General. Jefioifiou Davis. T!.9 radical press has been thrown into a high fever of loyalty ia contoqnence of cer taiu utterances of Jefferson Davis, contained in a upeech which he lately delivered at At lanta, Georgia. One wonld suppose from the tone and temper with which this address has been commented on, that Jefferson Davis was the trusted and acknowledged oracle of the Southern people the true ex ponent of their views and that they repose tho mort unbounded confidence in every thing, no matter how absurd, that may fall from his lips. The very reverse of this is the truth, for if there is any one man more than an other who acted a leading and con. spicuous part in the rebellion, and who is now without any solid influence in moulding public sentiment In tho South whose advice- is unheedod and whose counsels are spurned, that man is Jefferson Davis. It is a well known fact that, as President of the southern confederacy, Jefferson Davis was unpopular with his own people. His administration was weak and unsatisfactory, and utterly failed to impress tho Southern mind with any strong belief in his capacity as a leader. It was in the sound judgment and on the strong arm of Robert E. Lee that the people of tho South placed their reliance, and not on one who was so notoriously crotchety, impracticable and dictatorial as Jefferson Davis confessedly was. That ho can gather arouud him a crowd to listen to his foolish and frothy harangues, just as George Francis Train can and does in tho North, is quito natural, but does not prove, either that tbo people of the South sympa thize with Davis, or that Train's audiences in tho North are converted by his endless nonsense. Davis may utter his mournful regrets over the "lost cause" when and where he pleases. lie may protest that ho accepted nothing, but tho Southern mind will fa.il to yield its assent. All this radical hypocracy about Davis' speech and of an other rebellion in prospective, is bo transpa rent that no man, even though he be a fool, can be doceived by it. Radicalism, just now, i sorely In Eeed of a war cry. Its old shibboleths cf "traitor," "copperhead." and "sympathizer with re bellion," having had their day and fallen into contempt, something else must be sub stituted to auswer if possible tho same pur pose. Hence this miserable effort again to inflame the passiens and prejudices of the North, which happily have aiusost entirely disappeared, by fidsely representing Jeffer son Davis as plotting another rebellion, and that tho people of the South are willing and anxious to aid him in the attempt, lhe plain object is to divert public attention from the bins of Grant's administration and to fix it on an imaginary cuUide issue. This old trick will not answer the purposa it is too late tho fatal handwriting is already writ ten on the wall. The people fully under stand the issue and are not to be turned aside from their purpose by any childish fear that Jefferson Davia is about to inaugu rate another civil war. Appolla the Jew may believe that, but no sane man will. The Atlanta speech has met with unquali fied condemnation by the Southern papers. They ridicule cud denounco it, aud have no kind of sympathy with its author. We could fill our paper with extracts from lead ing journals in the South, to show the esti mate in which Jefferson Davis is held in his own section, but will content ourselves by laying before our readers the following from the Richmond Enquirer and tho Now Or leans Times : From the Richmond Enquirer. Mr. Jefferson Davis exhausts our patience. Wo have tried to remain silent, but, as he will have it, we now speak out. What is the upshot ? The upshot is this, the Southern people do not intend to follow Mr. Davis, ihey have not got the slighest idea of It. Mr. Davis is at perfect liberty to "accept nothing" to refuse "to abide the issues of tho ;war to announce that tho South is only waiting," &c. We, on the other hand, do accept tho situation, aud consider the war ended. We have been utterly overwhelmed, and there is nothing else for us to do. We mourned over the lost cause" as bitterly as Mr. Davis. But e are not going to give Jup. We bow to the decrees of God, and conceive it to be the duty of every Southern man now to go for ward, and not to sit forever in the ashes. We have put the past behind us. And we tell Lr. Davis that tbo Southern people are tired of this sort of talk. Their purposo and object is to unito with the great Demo cratic party of the North, aud try to beat the Republicans in the Union. This can be done, if we are not embarrassed by such im prudent utterances as those of Mr. Davis. From the New Orleans Times. J It is a great pity that thoughtless people in certain parts of the South will persist in calling out Mr. Davis, and badeerins him for speeches. It is also a great mufortuue that Mr. Davis will make speeches like that reported from Georgia, wherein the hope and confidence of the eventual triumph of the principles involed in the Confederate strug- gle are expressed. There is no form of ex pression wbich even so ingenious a rhetori cian os Mr. Davis can employ, of the idea here shadowed forth, that will not be sub ject to misconstruction and baneful distor tion. We, who know air. Davis, under stand well what is meant by his languago that when be hopes to live long enough to witness the resurrection of the principles in which the Confederate movement originated, je referred to his cherished and sincere v held doctrine of Slate rights, which he has ever maintained with Jefforson, Madison, Moo roe, and other robublican fathers as the cardinal ideas of our polltcalj system. This Mr. Davis has always thought, was the real lssne of tho lato so-called "rebillion," and with the great majority of the Southern peo ple he docs not admit that so plain and fun damental a truth has bean destroyed by the remit f a physical conflict and a prepon derates of material force. But the Northern psople put a very different construction ou .! this language. . It is not, therefore, in view of any attempt. Idea, or hope of ever reviving slavery or of reversing any of the consequensns of Its abolition that these infelicitous utterances of Mr. Davis were made. It is, however, to be regretted that he should ever give any occasion for such miscoustrnction or causo his friends to regret tho departure from that dignified silence and reserve which so well befits his history, his character and position."

When the mob of National Guards occupied the church of Notra Dame des Victoiros, "the first act was to expel with various infults and foul abuso the numbers of people who were saying their prayers j they then arrestetl tue clergy and somo of tho neighboring inhabitants who came In to protest. The doors were shut, and tho prlsonerea were informed ly an officer in a pompous speech, that the object of the visit was "to seek tor corpses in the name of high morality." The stone pavement was pulled up ; the treasuary of the church, which was very considerable, including gifts of precious objects and vntive offering worth more than $50,000, was soon discovered in a cellar; but the search for "corses" was less product fve. It was not till late in tho eveniur when the diggers got down deep into the old bur ial ground, that skeletons were found. During the night the Guards, of course, got flrunk ; in the intervals of their work they put on the vestments of the clergy, executed dances, and sang obscene songs before their prisoners. The orgio went on all the next day, the church being despoiled of every thing the guards paid out of the votive offer ings of money in the cash box, the old mo nastic vaults opened and the bones used as drum sticks and the skulls stacked like can non ban 9. lhe consecrated waters were dispensed in mockery of the Holy Comma iou, to crowds of gaping gamins, and every sacrilege which foul minds could conceive was perpetrated. At the Church of the Trinity, the Guards brought out the rnarblo statue of the lrgin, a gem of art, b.ackeu its eyes with charcoal, made a hole in its mouth, into which they stuck a dirty short pipe, and finally dressed up the statute hi the costume of a caniiniere who disrobed herself n purpose. They wound up this exploit by danciag a kind of carmagnole around the statute and toasts. drinking obscone Thrown Into the Air by a Fast Link. ua caiurflay morning last, Detween six and seven o'clock, as a team was passing Marysvillo station, the fast line east camo dashing along and struck the wagon, break ing it into innumerable fragments and send ing one of the occupants, a boy named Isaac Metz, aged about ten years, into the air about twenty-five feet, and hurling him a distance of fifty feet from rhe spot whore the collision occurred. When found the lad was motionless, as if dead, but on investi gation it was discovered that the terrible fall bad not killed him. One of his legs was laid open to the bone, from the kneo to the foot, aud his face was cut considerably. The supposition on Saturday was that he had suffered internal injuries of dangerous character. Although the wagon was comple tely demolished, the horses escaped without 1 fTTS 1 J nurc. j no engineer on me train was in uo way responsible for the accident, as he freely made use of one whistle to sound impending clanger. It seems miraculous that the bov was not instantly killed. Ilarrisburg Fa troit. Horace Gusf.lby denies emphatically that he ever wrote to a man in Missouri that he must feed his cow onJRbode Island green ings, if he would have in the cream a large amount of apple butter.

Members of the Pennsylvania Legisla ture in 1685 were not extravagantly fixed tm nnr lived as scmpulously as those of 1871. a3 will be seen by the following reso lution passed in the former year: "No member shall come to the House barefoot, or eat his bread and cheese on the stcp." Some girls never will learn to restrain the "natural impulses of their nature. A minister was baptizing a girl at Ripon, Wisconsin and when he bad submerged her, and came out of the water, he asked her how she felt iu her mind. Her answer was, "All hunky, only a little wet!" A man recently died la Indiana from a wound received at the battle cf Queens town, Canada, in 1812. An ounce musket ball which had remained imbedded in the bones of his face over fifty-eight years ulcer ated its way into his mouth and was 6pit out. Erom this cause inflammation arose, wbich, extending, terminated fatally. An official notice, issued to ladies, prompted more attention to a a higher style of dress at Queen Victoria's recent drawing room reception. The note read : "The Lord Chamberlain has been commanded to give notice that tho high square-cut gowns which have fcf late been occasional iy worn by ladies attending Her Majesty's courts and drawing rooms can not be admitted ou those occasions." A clergyman of Cairo, 111., expressed lately his ccBtampt of nickels in bis Sunday collection, and positively loroace any oi m coneresation from contributing anything un Apt ilirt denomination of five cents.

He has sold calves from her, which brought him $2G0. She eives between 4 and 5 gallons of milk daily, and yields about 8 pounds of butter weekly. Thare are 9 oi :her caive living vaued at S800. The best time for cutting wheat is when the grain has acquired tho consistency of stiff dough, aud can be kneaded between the thnmb and fort finger. Grain so cut is plump and heavy. Left until it is entirely ripe, it shrinks, and there is mere loss from shattering of the seed, and from broken heads moreover, it has been proven by repeated experiments that wheat cut before it is fully ripe will yield 50 per cent, more flour than the Bame grain win produce when dead ripe. The Ravsnna (Ohio) Democrat puts on record the following new stylo of butter making : "A few days since, Mrs. Mary M Hashes put about a quart cf cream in cloth bag, and buried it about two feet deep iu tne earth where it remained three davs when she disinterred it, and found It tracs formed Into pure, sweet, yellow butter, with not a drop of buttermilk to be seen. Airs Hughes thinks that crcara will yield about one-third more butter by that process thau by the old-fashioned way cf churning. Brigham Young has left Salt Lake City for a Southern tour. It is said that the Mormons aro becoming uneasy at tho fijrt of Gentiles into their territory, and are seriously contemplating a removal to some point in the south or southwest. It may be that Brigham has gone to select a spot for & new settelmeot. If this be true, will those Bchhrnatics and reformers, who are devcloping'eo much strength remain whero civilization can reach them, or will tlicy lol low the great "head of the church ?"

The common saying, "It costs n more to rear a cow here than a hen at the North." is literally trne.

Jadge Chase, according to a correspon dent of the Baltimore Gazette, "aprove3 the platform recently adopted by the Conven tions in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, except the financial feature of the Ohio platform, which, he thinks, might well have been omitted ; firBt, because it was un necessary to provoke discussion on that sub joct ; and second, because it creates a misap prehension as to tne relative interests oi capital and labor. He is rejoiced to find the great Democratic party pronouncing itself unequivocally on general amnesty, and says, if he ehall be in Ohio when the fall election takes place, he will vote for General Mc- Cook." A most ingenious invention is in practical use at Ford's new opera house, on Fayette street, near kutaw. raising .bricRs and mortar to the upper Btoriea. It is in the form of the endless iron ladder, made with links revolvine arouud cylinders above and below, worked by a crank and cog-wheels. The hods each have a stout iron book attach ed which serves to bold them on the rounds of the movinc ladder. Above they are tak en off and the empty hods are sent down on descending rounds.

Mikes in this State, having but one shaft, -e not allowed, by tho law cf 1870, to em ploy more thau twenty persons. This is to insure their safety against accidents, lhe law further makes it the duty of the Mine Inspector to know just how many men are at work in each ; if he ascertains that there is an excess, he is to notify the owner or operator, and require compliance with the statute ; if his order is not tt once obeyed, be must go to the courts for an icjunction to compel obedience or a stoppage of work. Notwithstanding the requirements of the law, and under the eya and knowledge of the Inspector of Mines, fifty-four men were at work in the Pittstou mine when the late fire took place. Had but twenty been em ployed, there would have been no loss of life. More than that number were rescued. That raoro were in the mine is the fault of tho Inspector, and he should be held ac countable for the lives of the murdered men. The law of 1870 is worthless, unless enforcoJ in a bold and vigorous manner. Opening a second shaft is expensive to owners and operators, to be sure, but we fail to see why it should not be opened in evsry case. That aborers arc willing to tzko the chances with a single shaft dots uot altar tho requirements that every possible means should be taken to secure their safety. The following para graph upon this subject is to be found iu the new Constitntion of Illinois. In that instru ment it is declared that "it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to pass cuch laws as may be necrssary for tho protection of operative miners, by providing for ventila tion, when tho same way be required, and the cocstrccticn of escapement-shafts, or such i,iber appliances as may Eecure safety in all coal mines, and to provide for the en forcemsnt of said laws by such penalties and punishments as may be deemed proper," The latter clause is the one which should be regarded with the most favor. The law of 1870 in this State will protect miners, i properly enforced by proper men. But it was not thus euforced in the case of the Pittston mine, nor is Inspector Williams fit fcr the placo be occupies. Thila. Age. A Sea of Alligators A Steamer stop ped by the MonstersSeveral Negroes De voured A goatlemao who has been stop ping in our midst for some time gives an account of one of the must terribla scenes ever recorded in the annals tf this country. While steaming up the placid waters of the Qsklawaha river he witnessed a conriict which made his hair stand on end, never to be forgotten. After rounding Sackc-t's Point the stream widens and deepens, and the wa ters at this bend always looked troubled and black. Suddenly the steamer encountered a eea of alligators, floundring and splashing water In every direction ; their bellowing shook the loundation of the waters. The captain says that he never heard or witness ed such a scene before, and never wishes to again. Before the little steamer cculd be checked they found themselves in the midst of these terrible monsters. To go back or go ahead was impossible. The pa-sstogers endeavored to drive them away by shooting, and the hands on board furiously beat them with hand-spike3. yet they seemed more determined to obstruct tho passage of the boat. The situation every moment was critical, and the crow and passengers more and more exhausted, and tho destruc ticn of the boat seemed inevitable. Already three colored hands had been devoured by these terrible monsters, and several others wounded. Soveral planks were torn from the hull, and the steamer was with difficulty kept from sinking. Just at this period a source of relief camo. A huge serpent ap peard making his way from the lakes, the same, it is supposed, that was seen at "Dev il's Elbow" last fall. The alligators eoou disappeared following the sea devil, or what ever you may call him, and such figbting never was witnessed. At a point Le.'o7 where the river suddenly barrows, it soon became blocked with dead alligators and the water was red with blood. It Is difficult to account for the number and sudden appear ance of these animals, but the latest theory may throw some light upon the subject. It Is believed by raany that there is a large subterranean passage of water between the head waters of the Okehobee Lake, and that these monsters have found their way here ia great numbers, and, if not soon ex terminated, will obstruct the nav:gatiou cf the Ocklawaha. PilaUia (Fla.) Herald. Titb new Departure. The New York Herald dashed at tho situation it. the follow ing style : Tho Pennsylvania Democracy have en tered the field for the fall campaign with drums beating and colors flying. They are lead by a gallant soldier, who has as his right bowr one of the best fightirg men of the late war. The Keystone Democracy have taken no step backward ia the march of political events, but rather a step forward, inasmuch as they not only accept the consti tutional amendments, but aver that the dis cussion of those amendments Is unneces-sary and should be avoided. Following the lead of the Pennsylvania democracy appear the sweeping legions of the democracy of Ohio, who, without dilly-dallving a moment. start eff in their platform with the preg nant declatioo that the three constitu tional amendmets are no longer issues be fore the country. Imitating the Pennsylva. nla democracy in another respect, the Busk- eyes have selected as their standard-bearer one of the most popular eoldiers cf the late rebehou. V ith steady arms and heads erect, therefore, the democratic hosts of the great est States enter into a lively skirmish prelim nary to the grand Presidential field fight next year. GEO. C. K.
