CW last Saturday the conferees from the Judicial District composed of the counties of Indiana, Armstrong anil Westmoreland, met in Pittsburgh, am oa the second ballot nom nated Silas M. Clark, Esq., of Indiana, as the democratic candidate for President Judge. Sir. Clark is eminently qualified for tha po sition, and wc think his election is among the political probabilities of next October. "Now when it is remembered that 40.C09 negroes vote in that State (Kentucky) for the first time this year, and that they will naturally vote with tb? Bviical party, the reduction of th usual Democratic majority will bignify nothing." The Pittsburgh Post, we believe, is re sponsible for the above statement. Other Democratic papers have repeated it ia refer ring to the Kentucky election, which will take placo ou tho first Monday of August. It is simply a mistake. At tha Congression al election held in that State last year, all Mie negroes voted. Their votes biting threa fourths Radical, did not prevent tho Demo crats from currying every Congressional Dis trict in tho Stata and securing a popular majority of over 30,000. What was done then, will be repeated oa tho first Monday in August. Tim Pp.esidkst JiTLGSsinr. We publish this week, on our first page, at the request of tho fiiends of Judga Taylor, who support him ns an independent candidate for the i fiieo of Presidont Judge of this judicial dis- trict, his letters to certain citizms of Altoo na and of Blair county, in which he sets forth tho ground? upon which ho is a candi date for re-election. His letters to certain citizens of Wilmore aud vicinity, in this county, was inserted ia our columns some time ago. Wo givo place to thoso letters, as was done by tho IIolHJaysburg Standard, (imply because; they contain matter for pub l.c information, about which the people must forLi their own judgment. As tho editor of a democratic paper, wo do not of coursa commit ourselves to thtm by their mere publication, nor in any way compromise our earnost and unqualified support of the regu lar nominee rf tho party for that position, iw cuse one thould be named. Wk are indebted to "iVra. II. Hose, Eq., fir a neatly bound copy of tho general laws passed at the last session of tho Legislature. Excluding the general appropriation bill and apportionment bill, v hich cover twenty-three pags, all tha other general laws are con tained in seven ly-threc pages. Wa were greatly astonished, in looking over them, to fiud that the net restoring tho Spring elecs tions is not to bo found among them. It wfii'd be difficult even to imtgine a plau?B Lie reason for Geary withholding his signa ture from that bill. It was domandeJ by the people of the Stata with one voice. What new light beamed upon the capacious mind of John W. Geary to indues him to pocket tho bill, ia beyond our dull compre hension. As it was presented to him within fun days of tho 'final adjournment, he can hold it until the third day after the meeting of the nest session, by which timo he must either sign or veto it. In tho meantime the October election will take place, cud the ob ject of tho law will thus have been substan tially defeated. "For ways that are dark," mruffnd us to our astute aud far-seiijg Governor, John W. Geary. licneral Slicrmau's Opinion. General Shremam is a Republican, and a plain, outspoken man. Whatever views ho entertains ou any question, political or otherwise, he is not afraid to avow them in Ian; juage that cannot be misunderstood. The opinion of no mau in tha country in reference to the people of the South and the truo state of public fooling iu that taction, is rntitled to more weight than is that of Gen. Sherman. Whan the late civil war broko ont ho was a resident of Louisiana, and since tho commencement of G.-ant's cdministra tion he has acted ssCommanding General f tho army, a position which peculiarly en ables him to form an accurate and intelligent judgment in regard to Southern sentiment. Gen. Sherman a few days ago attended the commencement exorcises of Georgetown Col lege, in the District of Columbia, tho students at which coma from all sections of the cctm. try, and delivered a brief address to them, from which wo take the following extract : "You must have at boart the interest of tho who!j country, which must never bo di vided. The attempt in our generation failed, aud it will always fail, and would as soon upcrt to see an attempt to dissolve thit Union in the future come from tfte North as from the South." In comparison with this candid and pub licly expressed conviction of a man io Gen eral Sherman's position, how supremely ab surd and disgusting is all tho Radical elec tioneering cant about tho inauguration of another rebellion by the leading men of tho Southern States. What Gen. Sherman said is true to the letter, and is fully sustained by all the facta. 'When Radicals utter their stereotyped anathemas against tho Southern people, and chargo them with plotting an other civil war, they know that thoir allega tions are groundless. It is a basa attempt to inflame the passions of the north against the people of tho south, with tho hope that the Radical party may be thereby benefitted at tho next Presidential election, and for four years more retain, jts power and mis govern the country. Ou. J55tf Irsrtii?8 I-efler. The Democrats t-f New York city, in ac cordance with their time-honored custom, celebrated the 4lh of July with more than their usual spirit. An eloquent oration was i delivered by Gen. Runyon, of New Jersey, j and letters were read from several of the ablest an"d most prominent Democrats in ! the country. The follow iag letter from ! Gen. McCiellan is so admirably written, and so replete with wise and statesmanlike coun ! "el, that we lay it before our readers iu its ' entirety. Ic was evidently written with : great care, and coming from so clear-headed a man as Gen. McCiellan, is entitled to great ! weight and consideration. It contains rna- terial enough out of which the Democratic National Convention could construct a wise and acceptable platform of principles upon which to conduct tho next Presidential cam paign. Here is the letter in full : Dear Sm: I have the honor to acknowl edge tha receipt of tho invitation to meet with the Tammany Society upon the occa sion i f the celebration of tha approaching Independence Day. I regret that circumstances will not permit me to be in tho city then. At a time like the present it . is right to express once more my deep and abiding in terest in the groat principles advocated by tho Democratic party ; and, remembering the former relations between tho party aud myself, perhaps it will not seem cftlcious if, in accordance, with your request, I proffer a few words to those who honored me so high ly in a season of difficulty. Although I have retired from public life it has been impossible to avoid forming opin ions upon public r.fuirs, and what I have to say must be regarded simply as the nti ments of a private citizen. Tho Presidential campaign, so soon to be opened, is destined to be one of the most important of all that have been conducted. I trust that every Democrat will recognize the magnitude of the issues at stake no less, it would seem, than the very existence of tho frco institutions our fathers gave us, tho true foundations of peace, happiness and pnsperity to bequeath which to our chil dren we should be ready to make any hon orable sacrifice. I trust that when the moment for action arrives there wiM be found none in tho Dem ocratic ranks who will for a moment hesitate j to sacrifice personal advantage or private leeling for the public good ; for our or.jact should bo not a mere party triumph, but iho rescuo of the country from tho hands of those j with whom personal aggrandizement and party ends outweigh all reverence for the vital spirit of our institutions and desire for the real good of the entire nation, j trust that our leadtrs will clearly see ' tchich of the issues that have so long agitated the country arc irrevocably seltlel. and that j we shall not le called upon to contend for a corpse. Ltl us leave behind as the dead issues of the past, and loch only to the present and the future. Slavery is dead dead let it remain jor eccr, ami let no one disturb its grace. Tho negro has the right to vote lei him keej' it ; but strive to educate him to fitness for the high privilege conferred upon him Show him who his real friends are, and we will eventually turn in our favor the weapon so carefully forged for our destruction. Let U3 hope that the tnunciation of the financial principles of the party will be so clear that no one can cast the shadow of a doubt upou cur intentions as to finfi'ling in the broadest tense all the obligations of the cation ; rather than indulge in abstract dis cussions as to the meaning of this or that obligation, let us advocate, and when injmwcr pursue, such a policy as will mulce the paper dollar as good as the gold doLar, so that the question will practically settle itself .To secure this result it must bo clearly understood throughout the world that every dollar of the principal and interest of the national debt will be fully paid when flue; tho expenditures of the general government must be confined to tho sums requisite to meet the iutcrcst upon the debt, and the ex penses necessary to maintain the efficiency and dignity of the government ; the sums diawn from (his generation by the tariff and internal taxation should be limited to the pur poses just mentioned, and the effort io reduce lrcinaturc1y the principal of the debt at the expense f the gineral prosjerily of the na tion should be abandoned. We have borne the burden cf the rocent war, and should be called upon to do no mure than meet tho full interest upon the debt ; another generation , more wealthy and numerous than this, can readily take care cf the 2ri ncipal. The issues cf the present and the futnre are distinct enough, and afford us the most, ample an 1 best battlc-Guld for tho approach', ing contest. Universal amnesty and auiTrag; the pres ervation of the rights cf the States as guar anteed by the letter and true spirit cf the Constitution, once hold so sacred; the pres ervation of individual liberty ; the inviola bility of tha right of tho habeas corpu3 ; the maintenance of the puiity aud of the relative powers of the three great branches of the general government ; strict economy in the administration of the government ; the relief of the business interests of the country from the ruinous pressure of all unequal, ill-arranged, and unnecessary burdens ; these constitute some of the main issues upon which we may confidently Lope to rest our chances of success. With tho hope that tho principles pub lished to tho world nicety-five years ago may throughout nil timo guide tho actions and command tho re verenco of tho American people, and apologizing for having tres passed so long on your time and patience, I am, with great respect, truly yours, Geokgk B.

About 6 o'clock this morning people residing in the vicinity of the Burn ughs Mine, on what is known as the plank road, were startled by a loud rumbling noise, and equally surprised to no tice that the water in the north branch of the Wyoming Canal had begun to run up stream, li was soon ascertained that a por tion of the bottom of the Mill Creek level of the canal ovur tha Bui roughs Mino bad caved in, causing a hole fifty feet long and of tho width of the canal and tow-path. The casualty involves tho Hooding cf the Enterprise tnine.cf J, II. Swoyer's tlope and shaft, the Mitchel mine, the mine of Elliot & Co.. and. probably tha works of Mr. Ilile man, as these mines are all counected with gangways. All tho water on the level poured into the opening, aud it may ba said that the mines have received a quantity of liquid two miles long and about four feet deep. The acci dent occurred at a point over a portioa of the Burroughs mine which had been worked out. and was caused, moht likely, by the robbing of the supports of the roof, a practice which sometimes prevails when the chambers have been exhausted. The amount of damage cannot ba estimated at present, but will bo heaviest in the stoppage of the wotks probably for somo weeks. The canal will also ba useless for a time. Preparations for an artificial bottom of the canal will be commenced at onco, and the mines be pumped out. The lntter operation can go on while the repairs are being made, as the entire IpvcI is now clear of water. Fortunately the event took place to day, when all the cmploj'ees were celebrating our national holiday. Great loss of life must have occurred had the mines been working as usual. As it is we have nothing but a vexatious delay in the business of that part of the valley to regret. A a immouse quantity of coal is being sent to market now from thia county, and it looks as if another convulsion would ensue in busiuess between this and winter.

On tho : - C .1 T "I ! 7 7 1 . ucuasicni m iiic x np;u juoiiee an aunrcss was i presented to the Pope by an association of ladies called the "Pla Unione delle Donne Cattolicbe." According to the Voce delta Vert la, II is Holiness replied in the following terms : "I welcrue this yonr estimable visit, and these words in which yon have so well expressed your sentiments. Although tem pests everywhere pursue our Church, it's a great comfort to its to see this affection to ward the. Holy See that is everywhere so strongly and so generously manifested. The mnde you have selected for celebrating this piivilcge that the Lord has accorded to mo in preference to so many of my prede cessors has been tha most appropriate, since there is nothing more holy than to do good to and succor the indigent. Elsewhere also, everywhere iu tho most distant lands, the good Catholics have wished to celebrate it, and two telegrams have just reached me, one informs mc that the good Maltese desire to celebrate this anniversary as an appointed festival, an 1 that the Governor of Malta, granting the request of the Bishops of Malta and Gozzi, has ordered that their wish should be fulfilled. The other telegram in forms me that the Queen of England, ak though uot a Catholic, has aho associated herself with these sentiments by sending me a cordial letter of congratulation." The as sembly at this announcement, broke out into exclamations of joy and applause. According to the correspondent of the Paris Temps, the ladies met after their au dience and sent off the following telegram to MgV. Manning, the Archbishop of West minster: "Make known to her Mjsty tho profound gratitude of 800 Roman ladies for the telegram sent by her to day to His Holiness." The lynching of the wretch Mera, at Watseka, Illinois, for maltreating and killing his son. may ba oxcused by some, says the Phiiad'a Age, on account of tho unnatural cruelty of the act which excited public in dignation, but this really affords no pallia tion for mob violence. A patient trial and legil condemnation should be given to every criminal. It is said that the loader cf the mob laid down the law fbat the accused was only guilty of manslaughter, which is punishable by imprisonment, but in the opinioD of the mob, he should undergo the penalty of death. From this we infer that it was conceded that the man did not intend to kill bis son, and it is possible that rumor may have exaggerated the details of his crime. Those who took his life, without the warrant of tho law, ought to bo severely punished by it. News has been received in Paris of the total wreck of the French sh tp Souvenance on tho South African coast, with all on board. One hundred and fifty bodies have been washed ashoro from the wreck. Terhielb Crime and Lykghisq. A special correspondent seuds the following particuars of an atrocious crime and its re sults at Wat.-eka, 111., Jnly 6th : A man of the name of Martin Mera, abcut three weeks ago beat his son, aged ten years, in a terrible manner, so badly that it was Impossible for the little fellow to get out of bed when called by his father the next morn ing. This seemed to exasperate the brutal fellow, and, taking a red-hot poker, he thrust it into the boy's side, and not satisfied with this, took tha boy up from bed, and putting him on the red hot stove.held him there until he was burned horribly. lie then beat him over the head with the butt end of a whip Uutil dead. The brutal wretch thraw the lifeless body under the bed on which bis wife was lying, and told her if she breathed a word of the alfair he would kill her That night he wrapped the body of the boy in a sheet and buried it near a hedge in bis gar den. The neat morning he went to Gilman and advertised the boy as a i una way, offer ing a reward for information of his where abouts. On Saturday'Jast, suspicion having been aroused by some words let fall by tho boy's sister, the mother and two daughters were taken in charge, and the man arrested. After the mother found her brute of a hus band was under arrest, she told the whole dreadful story of the murder. The body of the boy was found, and the terrible reality of the murder fully demonstrated Of course the excitement was intense, and the officers only with great tact wero able to get Mera into prison. On Wednesday night a mob of 250 men and a great crowd of women and children surrounded the jiil. took Mera out, put him in a wagon, and drove to the woods. Ha was given twenty minutes to say his pray, ers, when a rope was put around his neck, and the men, catching hold of the other end, ran him up and held him until dead. After being taken down lie was shot several times and beaten with clubs. P. S. Since the above was in print somo of the testimony before the coroner's jury has been received by telegraph. All cf the particulars as above given have been veri fied. TLe mother, who was confined in bed at the time, was perfectly helpless.

A few days ago tho inmates of a country seat, pleasantly situated at Chestnut Hill, were thrown into a state of confusion by the fact that the lady of the house had given birth to twins. One little stranger was expected and duly provided for, bat the second was one too many. Confusion was, however, worse confounded when investiga tion showed the color of the babes. They were not simply brunettes they were mulat tos! At first nothing was said to the uio'h tr cf this mistako in the color, but the truth could not loug ba concealed from the hus band. Nearly maddened by the terrible state ment, his first thought was for vengoance on the author of his shame. Suspicion, of course, fell first upon the colored coachman. 11a was sought and soon found. Upon being charged with tho crimo be at once admitted his guilt. "But," said he, taking an elegant gold watch out of his pocket, "you ought not to blame mo. Look at thia gold watch. She gave it to me." The directness und simplicity of the state ment disarmed tho husbaud. He took the watch in his hand and went to tha bedside of his wife. "Did yon give this watch to John ?" "Yes," was the reply. Deeming further icquiry unnecessary, and abandoning all thought of revenge or retribution, the ter ribly stricken man. taking with him the other children, left his wife in possession of the house bhe had polluted. The coachman drove him into tho city, and so the story ends. I'hila. Herald. Rcu M cede it and tre Rbmbdt. Apro pos of tho "acute insanity" resulting from driuk, undor.the influence of which Dr. Con nolly murdered his children and then took his own life, the Herald asks: "Is thera no remedy for these terrible deeds? Is there nothing upon our statute books that requires the police to lock up voluntary madmen ? Is there no laws to restrain these 'sprees' that lead to madness and murder V There arc laws, indeed, but they are insufficient. It is not enough to fine the drunkard who makes a public nuisance of himself, for the fine does not prevent a repetition of the tffense, and the habit grows onlil the victim in a fit of delirium or drunken rage kills somebody, whereupon the community rolls its eyes and lifts its hands ia horror, ex claiming, "What shall bo done to correct this awful state of affairs'?" The remedy is easy enough, if you will only apply it. Send the drunkard, who exposes himself in public places, to State prison. Make inebri ety, under such cirsumstances, as much a crime as theft. Surely with the terrible ex penente we have had of what drunkenness leads to, no maudlin sympathy for man's weakness ought to stand in the way of that protection to human life which society has a right to demand. Moreover, the mere "knowl edge of such a penalty as that suggested, would throw the responsibility entirely upon the shoulders of the maa who invoked it. If ho should choose to get drunk in the face of such a law, thera would be nobody to blame but himself. New York Commercial Advertiser. The trial of Mrs, Sherman for the awful dark deeds of murder by poison so fairly laid to her charge, promises to prove one of the most remarkable in criminal history. The accused is a woman of education and culture, of handsome appearance and pleasant ways aside from her pencliant for poisoning ber nearest relatives and moved in good vil lage society. The evidence against ber seems to show that she has sent eight chil dren natural aud step-children and threo husbands all traveling in closo succession into eternity by tha aid of arsenic. Certaiuly the preyence of this deadly poison was dis covered in large quantities in the stomachs of two of bar departed husbands and two of hor children, the bodies of whom were ex humed by tha coroner engaged in conducting the investigation. Mrs. Sherman appears to hava indulged in the poisoning business merely for the-gratification of some singular monomania, as no selfish or other object seems to have influenced her. ADd yet no one has ever discovered anything mentally wrong about ber. She is a member in high standing of a temperanco society, and! had always been, as her mother-in-law states, a kind mother and a good and faithful wife. Bat ber crimes have been even darker than those for which Mrs. Grinder, our modern Borgia, died on 'the scaffold, 'and in all probability the same wretched fate awaits her. Pittsburgh Gazette.

General Hancook is reported to be op, posed to his own nomination for President for the following reason : He thinks that by the time the American people get through with Grant they will not want another Sol dier President for a generation.

The 8.05 train from Nw York and the 7.35 train from New York, on the New York and Newark railroad, met on an open switch, at Boyles' station, on Saturday last and both engines were demolished, and the first and second cars of each train were telescoped. Both the trains were thrown from the track, the cars caught fire from tho locomotives, and two of them were entirely consumed. Four persons were killed and nine wonnded. Various other persons were slightly bruised. A later dispatch says that it is supposed, there are many other bodies in the ruins. The noble conduct of those two railroad engineers on the New Jersey road, who, when they saw their two trains, by a switch man's fault, rushing at each other with resistless force.'etood bravely at their posts, and exerted themselves to moderate the inevitable shock, deserves to be embalmed in immortal verse. They both looked thoir death firmly in the face and met it like heroes, as they were.
