Captain JAMES If. COOPER,
Of Lawrence County.
13 EN Bctler lias announced bimlf as a
candidate for Governor of Massachusetts.
It is now said that Geaj signcl the bill
restoring the Spring elections, on the 28th of
Juae. - If be did bo, eyen at the elerenth
hour, then some good can coma out of Naz
areth. Bt why the delay ? He came
promptly to time in approving (he swind
ling joint resolution, giying the members
cf the Legislature ten dollars per day extra,
by which the treasury was defrauded out cf
sixty tftcusand dollars.
A State Temperance Convemtioit, to
nominate candidates for Auditor General and
Surveyor General, will bo held at Harris
burg on the 9th of August. A meeting of
the State Executive Committee took place
at Philadelphia on the 11th instant. Chair
men of the various county committees were
appointed to organize their counties under
the rules then adopted by the committee.
Hon. A. A. Barker was appointed chairman
for Cambria county.
YiM have seon it stated very generally in
the papers, that the last Legislature in
creased the salaries of the President Judges
from thirty-five hundred to five thousarul
dollars a year. This Is an error. Their
pay was Increased five hundred dollars, mak
ing their annual salary four thousand dol
lars. The salary of the Associate Judges
remains the same as heretofore five dollars
per day for every day they may be employed
in the diacharge of their official duties, with
& proviso, that the salary of no Associate
Judge shall be less than three hundred dol
lars. The salaries of the Judges of the Su
preme Court were increasod from six to seven
thousand dollars.
According to the most reliable informa
tion, the casualties growing out of the New
York riot on the 12th Instant were at fob
Iowa :
Members of the N"ationl Guard killed" .... C
Members of the National Guard wounded. . 13
Number of civilians killed and died tf their
wounds 56
Number f civilians wounded tO
Of the 250 or 300 Orangemen in parade,
r.cne were either killed or wounded, for the
reason that they were flanked on either side
by the military, and the bullets fired at
them took effect among the troops. As is
usual at all such unfortunate occurrences, a
largo number cf the killed and wounded Lad
no connection with the rioters, but were
mere spectators, whose curiosity had drawn
them to that particular locality along the
line of the procession where the attack was
made by tho rioters and repulsed by tho
military. It was a bloody day's work, and
nught to satisfy the jmtriotic pride of the
Orauge societies of New York, at least until
the 12th of July, 1890, which will be the
two hundredth anniversary of the battle of
the Boyne an event in which, at the pres
ent day, the people of this country feel just
about the same interest that they do in the
battle of Bannockburn, or even in the val
liant but bloodless assault made by Don
Quixote on the inoffensive windmills of
Spain.
Howeii's Pardon.
On the 13th of June, in tho Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, C. C.
Bowen, a Radical member of Congress from
the Charleston (South Carolina) district,who
was succeeded on the 4th of March last by
one De Large, a colored gentleman, was
convicted of bigamy and sentenced two years
to the Penitentiary,. About ten days ago,
divers good aud sufficient considerations
thereunto movicg. Grant, from his head
quarters at Long Branch, signed, sealed and
sent to the aforesaid Christopher Columbus
BoweD, the following Interesting document,
which is a nice and handy thing to have in
the house :
Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United
Stales To all whom it mij concern there
presents shall come creeling : Whereat on
the 1 3ih day of June, It"!, the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, holding a criminal
term, one C. U. Towen was cormcied of big
amy and tentenced to he imprisoned for two
years ai d to pay $210 tine, aud whereas it is
represented that he wti innocent of any vio
lation of the law, but lie acted in good faith
belierin;; hia former wife to be dead, and it ap
pears that be rendered good service to the
rauteofthe Union during the rebellion and
rinee ita termination, and has endeavored to
lead an honest and upright life, sdJ for these
ion eleven of the jurors who found the
verJiet agains: him and many other citizens of
the higbtut consideration and weight urge this
j anion, and Uuited States Attorney Kirhar
would be gratified by the exerciteof Executive
clemency ; no , tLt-refore, be it known that I,
U. S Grant, President of the United Status of
.America, in considerations of the premises and
divers other good and suflicient reasons me
thereunto moving, do hereby grant to the said
0. (J. Boweu a full and unconditional pardon.
When Grant issued this pardon to his
friend Bjwen he should Lava seen to it. that
it was at least written in good English. As
it stands, it is an oSTanse both agaiust syn
tax and truth. If, as is Bet forth in the
pardon, Bjweri was "innocent of any viola
tion cf the law," then his conviction was a
gross outrage, and Judge O'in, before whom
he was tried, ought tob summarily removed
from office. Grant asserts that Bowen
"acted in good faith, believing hia former
wife to bo dead." This is simply not the
fact, as every one knows who is at all fa
miliar with the trial of tho case. Bowen's
strong plea was, that be had been divorced,
and in snpport of that allegation his coun
sel offered in evidence the record tf a divorce
in one of the courts of the city of New York,
which was proved by the proper oSccr of
the court to be a base forgery. Grant also
informs us that "United States Attorney
Fisher would be gratified" with the pardon
of Bowen. This is arsigning a reason for
Executive clemency as is a reason, and if
true, only shows that Fisher is totally unfit
for hia position. In what way did Bowen
render "good service to the cause of the
Union dniing the rebullion," as is asserted
in the pardon 1 It is admitted that he
served in the Confederate army, and that he
was implicated either as a principal cr as an
accessory in the murder of his commanding
officer. This pardon, in all its aspects and
surroundings, completely casts in the shade
any effort in that line which was ever made
by any former President, Nethiug but it
self could be its own parallel. How true is
the philosophy of Shakspeare:
Plate sin with pelt!,
And the strong: lance of justice hnrtless breaks;
Clothe it iii ruifl, a pijf uiy's btraw may pierce it.
The New York Riot.
A terrible and bloody riot, resulting in the
death so far of 56 persons, aud the wound
ing, more or less severely of. 98 others, took
place in New York on yesterday week, the
anniversary of the Boyne, which occurred in
1G90 between the armies of William III.
and James II., ending in the total defeat of
the latter. Out of that contest grew a re
ligious feud of intense bitUrneas, which has
been carried on in Ireland by the opposing
factions ever since, and has been transferred
to this country by tho descendants of the
men who engaged in mortal combat on the
banks of the Boyne. Certain Irish societies,
composed of men calling themselves Orange
men, proposed celebrating the anniversary
of this battle by a procession throrgh the
street of New York, while another class of
Irishmen, known as Eibbcnmen, declared
that in no ovent should the proposed parade
take place. Here was an issue, distinctly
made up, to fight over again the battle of
the Boyne on American soil. In order to
prevent a threatened riot, the Chief of Po
lice, Kelso, issued instructions to the tCicers
of his force on Monday, forbidding tho pa
rade and directiug the police to carry out
his order. If this order, issued, as we have
a right to suppose, on full reflection and in
view of the danger to bo apprehended, had
been adhered to, it is admitted by the New
York papers that there would have been no
attempt at a public display by the Orange
men, and therefore no riot and bloodshed.
But in an evil hour, on Tuesday at midnight,
Kelso revoked his order, which caD be rc
garded in no other light than as a tame sur
render to the avowed pnrpose of those who
proclaimed that they would prevent the
procersion. At this juncture, Governor
Hoffman arrived in the city from Albany,
and promptly issued a proclamation permit
ting tho parade peaceably to take place and
declaring that it should be protected to the
fullest eztent possible by the military and
police authorities. That Governor Hoffman
acted properly, no right minded man for
a moment can doubt. If threats of mob
violence be permitted to overawe public au
thority and paralyze the strong arm of the
law, then anarchy asserts its riotous sway
and both life and property are absolutely
without protection. That the Orange pro
cession, typifying an intense religious quar
rel, originating in a foreign country, ought
not to have taken place, is undoubtedly true,
but we must emphatically deny the right of
any set of men to decide that question
through tho bloody intervention of a riot.
Whenever their right to do so is tacitly con
ceded, society is resolved into ita original
elements, brute.- force reigns supreme, and
the restraints of civilized government become
a solemn farce. Riots must bo prevented at
all hazards, and if men will recklessly en
gage in them they must take the conse
quences of their own acts.
Too much credit cannot bo awarded to
Archbishop McCloskey and the Catholic
priests of Now York, for their earnest efforts
at preventing any interference with the
procession by the Irishmen who were op
posed to it. Against such a coarse Eermons
were preached in all the Catholic churches on
the previous Sunday. Among ether good
advice tho Archbishop said :
"Let tbea parade until they are tired. Tho
public sentiment will condemn them. It is
reidv to do so now if you do not change it
Public opinion ia against them, but if yu vio
lently iuterfere with them it will bo againat
you."
It must be distinctly understood that no
respectable and intelligent Catholics took
any part iu this riot. Oa the contrary, they
did all they could to prevent It. Ti e chief
actors In it, but unfortunately not the only
victims of it, were men of tho very lowest
order the willing but deluded tool of a few
demagogues who would scorn tho counsel
even of an archangel just as readily as they
did that of tho Archbishop and the Priests.
In connection with this subject, we pub
lish below the Proclamation issued by Gov.
Hoffman :
BY JOHN T. HOFFMAN, GOVERNOR.

Dated at Xw York thie eleventh day of
July, A. P. 1871. Jon T. HorriiAN.
By tho Governor;
"John D, Van Burcn, Private Secretary.
Tlie Sew YorS. Itftit.
The exciting topic of the day is the Irish
riots in New York. The excitement in
Philadelphia yesterday, resulting therefrom,
especially in the neighborhood of the news
paper offices, has not been equaled since tho
battle bulletins of the Rebellion attracted
crowds of citizens to the same general source
of intelligence. It was to be observed, how
ever, that the crowds, wherever gathered
together, were orderly and quiet. They
awaited the unfolding of events with pro
found, earnest interest, but whatever their
feelings may have been they were expressed
in no noisy, offensive demonstration.
As the day wore on and the news of riot
and shooting were spread about, tho" groups
of the'morning grew larger and the interest
deepened. The occasion was a grave one,
even; in Philadelphia, for underlying the
crnde detail of the reports was the principle
that again, by the action of a few strong
headed and wrong-headed Orangemen and
the murderous intentions of some other few
Ribbonmen, the principles of a government
of the people, for, the people, by the people,
was again undergoing trial. Partisans of
one body or tho other may have perused tho
despatches with a view of learning how the
figr.t was being carried on for the particular
side they espoused, but tuch partisans were
limited in number, and the real interest was
shown by the vast mass of the community,
who waited to learn whether or not here, in
free America, a mob, no more respectable
than that called in Paris, the Commune,
could override the constituted authorities of
the State. New York, through its chief ex
ecutive officer, Govbrnor Hoffman, bad de
clared that the whole power of the Common
wealth should be put into action to protect
the Orangemen in their undoubted right of
walking through the streets in a body. The
opponents of the Orangemen had similarly
declared that no such parade should take
place. Both parties were determined, and
the exciting conflict that occurred, and
which resulted in serious loss of life, was in
evitable. The questions filling the minds of all pa
triotic citizens were, "Is the law or the mob
to rule? Is our boasted civil and religious
liberty real or not?" When Governor lloff
man, with admirable Intelligence and genu
ine moral heroism, decided that the Orange
men should be protected in their public dis
play, he practically answered both questions
and in tho manner they should be answered.
While every crtizsrr must feel that the pro
cession of Orangemen, in view of the relig
ious animosities it would engender, was ab
solutely without excuse, he must also fuel
that it was the duty cf the government to
exert its whole strength to insure them in a
right they could justly claim. The govern
ment of this country is only a government
so long as the people will it to be so; law
and order are but words, intagible as bub
bles, unless tho people give them meaning
and effect. A mob that openly and defiant
ly raised its hand against. the government,
against law and order, Lad to be trampled
under foot or the government and law and
order were things of the past. The New
York riot hud exactly that significance, and
on that account the whole country yesterday
awaited the issues with absorbing interest.
About three o'clock p. M. less than two
hundred Orangemen, preceded by a band of
music, carrying a national and a society
flag, started from their headquarters along
Twonty-ninth street. As was threatened,
they were attacked, and similarly they were
protected in their unwisely exercised right
by the police and military. Tho mob was
repulsed,' and though at other poiuts the
Orangemen were again and again furiously
assaulted, they did, under the broad sanction
of the authority of tho commonwealth, carry
out their intention of parading through the
streets of New York.
The rights they demanded were given
them, and the protection they claimed in
the pursuit of their inclinations was extend
ed them. Had it been otherwise, had the
authorities been compelled to yield to the
threats of the outlawed mob, the disgrace of
such a surrender of the government to such
intimidation would have boon a national
wrong and dishonor.
To stir up religious animosities, to trans
fer from Ireland to this soil, and to keep
alive here the ancient quarrels which at
home divided and weakened themselves as
a people, and strengthened the hands of
their enemies, is conduct that is without
reason or exense. The doors of our great
refuge of freedom and equal rights is open
to the people of all nations. Our land is
broad enough and long enough for them all.
But we have a right to expect that when
they accept our hospitality they will do
nothing to outrage it ; that they will honor
our laws, and that, above all, they will un
derstand that the corner-stone of the edifice
is tolerance and 4tbe fullest liberty In all
matters of creed. Orangemen or Ribbon
men, they are alike welcome, but they
should leave behind them that bigotry and
intolerance out of which grow such scenes as
yesterday disgraced New York city. rhila.

Sfnsation in Hioh Life. Mrs. E. G.
Wharton, widow of the late Major II. W.
Wharton, of the United States Army, resi
ding in Hamilton Place, in Baltimore, was
arrested on Monday night, week, on a war
rant issued from the Criminal Ceurt of that
city, charging her with poisoning Gen. Wm.
Scott Ketchum, a retired officer of the Uni
ted States Army ; also with poisoning
Eugene Van Noss, book-keeper in the bank
ing bouse cf Alexander Brown & Sous.
Gen. Ketehum arrived at Mrs. Wharton's on
the 23d of last month, and was taken sud
denly ill on the 24th and died on the 28th.
An analyzitiou of the contents of his stom
ach by Prof. Aiken discovered twenty grains
of tartar emetic.
Mr. Van Nes was taken ill during Mr.
Ketchum's sickness, and now lies in a very
critical condition. Mrs. Wharton has been
indicted by the grand jury for the murder
of Gen. Ketcbum, and is now in jail. Her
daughter, a beautiful, accomplished and
amiable young girl, remains with her as a
voluntary prisoner.
Dhep Wrong to the Catmolic Church.
Under this caption the New York Hun,
edited by Charles- A. Dana, long known as
one of the most prominent Radical leaders,
speaks in this wise of tho attempt to saddlo
the Catholic Church with the recent riots :
It is a very great wrong to suppose that
the Catholic Irish justify or desire any attack
upon Orange processions. The Catholic
clergy, from Archbishop McCloskey down,
have all denounced and forbidden any such
attack. They have spoken out boldly, like
good men and good Christians, and the
members of their Church sympathize with
them. We do not doubt that tha Irish
Catholics of this city would, if necessary,
turn oat under arm to defend the right of
Orangemen to walk through the streets with
their banners and music. It is only the grog
shop and bar-room ruffians, men with no
religion and no principles of any kind, who
would attempt to kill or maim the Irish Pro
testants. Good Catholics all repndiate and
hate such brutal wickedness.
Tad Lincoln died on Saturday, in Chi
cago, of dropsy of the cheat, in the eighteenth
year of his age.
Political Religion.
They Radical press, which is eagerly fan
ning the flames of religious intolerance, in
tho hope of making some political capital
out of it, falls into the egregious blander of
assuming that the principles represeuted by
"Orangeism" are those of all Protestants.
They are not so J no, not even in Ireland.
Some of the most eminent Irish patriots,
who died on the scaffold, or in prison, or in
exile, the victim? of British tyranny, were
staunch Protestants, and joined hands with
their Roman Catholic countrymen in resist
ing the political oppression which Radical
ism now espouses, under the name of Or
angeism," and lauds with blundering igno
rance, or wilful disingenuousness, a the
representative of religious liberty. It is a
gross misrepresentation of political history.
In stbe catalogue of Irish patriots, !ome of
the most eminent were Protestants. Wolf
Tone was a Protestant, and his thrilling an
peals to his countrymen called n Protest
ants and Catholics to unite in one common
cause, the regeneration of their country.
They did thus unite in the well-known or
ganization, "The United IrUhmen." Lord
Edward Fitzgerald, the Emmetts, and many
more of names known to fame in the strug
gle for Irish liberty, were Protestants. When
the victims took their places in tho criminal
deck, it was Curran. the Irish Protestant,
who defended them with a blaze of eloquence,
some snatches of which were familiar to all
school boys. In the days when their books
took examples of oratory from the great ef
forts made in defense of civil and religious
liberty. Robert Emmett died on an Eng
lish scaffold. . Thomas Addis Emmett
escaped with his life ; came to New York;
received there the hearty welcome of the
people, and surmounted the opposition
which the Federalists the forefathers of our
Radicals displayed to him and his cause.
It is not tho religious element in Orangeism
that now attracts the Radicals ; it is the
political element in it, the despotism cf the
Enslish domination of Ireland, so like the
military subjugation which is the political
policy of tho bastard Americans who have
forsworn all the principles on which Ameri
can liberty is founded. They cannot now
cover up their political designs with snivel
ling, hypocritical zeal for Protestantism,
which they falsely represent as the same
thing R9 Orangeism. This ia either a blun
der, or a falsehood, and as such every decent
ly well informed man recognizes it. The
political significance of modern Irish Orange
ism lies in its sympathy with English rule
In Ireland, imposing political disabilities
and religious tests upon the majority of the
people in the interests of a mieoiity. This
ia as well recognized now as it ever was in
Ireland, by the levers of liberty of every
creed. Tho leader if "Young Ireland,"
Sm ith O'B'ien.and many others of his party,
were Protestants, and in earnest antagonism
to the political element in the Orange organ
ization. It is an Impertinence to dwarf, be
little and demean American Protestantism,
embracing various denominations wholly
founded on religions principles, by confound
ing it with Orangeinm. We utterly repndi
ate the imputation ; neither as Protestants
nor Americans will we wear the badge of
Enelish misrule and oppression in Ireland.
The Age.
A Small Boat Draws et Fish. A let
ter from Easton, Pa., speaks of a novel use
made of sturgeons by Mr. L. Phillippi and
Col. J. R. Sifgraves, of that place. They
cause a couple of the fish to draw a ima!l
boat, in harness, and attach them also to
two imitation swans, which float above them
and prevent their diving. The boat is
shaped like a shell. The mode of harness
ing the sturgeons is peculiar. A broad iodia
rubber band, encircling each fish behind the
pectoral fin, has a brass ring attached on
top. Through these rings a stout ashen
pole, a bout eipht feet long, is inserted, and
to two staples in the pole the traces are
fastened. There is also a gum elastic band
around each sturgeon, just behind the dorsal
fin. with a loop In the side holding the op
posite ends of a much slighter polo, to com
pel them to swim at a regular distance from
each other. Mr. Phillippi, who acts as dri
ver, has his sat in the bow, and directs
thoir course with a goad, which is a long
pole, and as thick as one's wrist, with a
sharp spike sticking ont at right angles
from tho end, and it Is surprising with what
alacrity they obey. When they are to bo
turned to the right or left, a sudden prick
on the opposide side of each sturgeon causes
the pair to take the desired course ; when a
greater speed is desired, they are pierced
near the tail ; when they are required to
halt, the goad is reached forward and they
are pricked in front of the head.
Dr. Morris, says the Western Sentinel of
the 22d ultimo, delivered a negro woman of a
female chilJ, near Graham's meeting-house,
in Forsyth county, N. C. last week, which
is a curiosity worthy of Birnnm's Museum.
Tho child has a tail three inches long, flat,
and about three inches broad, and covered
with fuzz, and on the end of the tail is some
thing like a fleshy bulb, and a finger with
one joint and a well-developed nail. Dr.
Morris states that the child can wiggle its
tail, and is perfectly formed in every other
respect. We understand that there Is a
white man living in Salem who is blessed
with a caudal appendage. His tail, we un
derstand, resembles that of a hog. particu
larly tho peccary, or South American species
of that animal. Where is Darwin ?

A correspondent of the Medina Gazette
tells the following goose story : "Harrison
Beach has a gander which has two mates.
One of the females has a nest about the
house or buildings, over which the male
goose keeps vigils at night ; and. each morn
ing about sunrise ho rises on wing about
thirty feet high and flies nearly three-fourths
of a mile, where his other mate has nested,
and bestows his kindnesses over that one
during the day till about snnset, when he
returns on the wing to his night's charge.
The j jurney ho makes regularly every day."
A writer in the N. Y. Tribune argues
that the President has not the power of
pardoning the bigamous Bowen, for the rea
son that the District of Columbia has a terri
torial constitution, under which the Govern
ment ia vested with the power of pardoning
common criminals sentenced by the courts
of the District. Bigamy is a common crime,
and in no way an offance against the United
States; and so this writer maintains that
the President could have no legal authority
to pardon ia this case.
