I.'ST week we published an article from it s St. Lo'uio Republican in reference to tbe Democratic party and its policy in tbe next Presidential election. In our present rum lr we lay before our readers an article from Tew York World on tho oame (ubject. cisru'rd E. Cbnrch, Chief Justice of tbe State of New York, an able man and a vet sran politician, in a recent conversation In w hich tbe policy of a union of all tbe elo ;r.?tit8 of opposition to the re-election of trrant was frlj discussed, expressed his belief that with vigorous unanimity Grant "carr be made to come out of tbe next con gest the worst beaten man that ever ran for '.:.e Presidency." The Grand Dcke Alixis, third living : n of the Emperor Alexander II. arrived ai ?scwYorkin a Russian vessel of war on sst Sunday. He intends making an ex 'ended tour of the country and will go as far west as California. He will first visit Washington, where it will be peculiarly ap propriate that this representative of a mon arch whose law is the bayonet, should be welcomed to "the freest government on the face of tbe earth," by a President who rules by a suspension of the writ of Jiaheas corpus ami a declaration of martial law. That ginnt crime against liberty and law, the par tition of Poland and the remorseless banish ment of her purest patriots and most gifted men to the inhospitable wilds and dreary mines of Siberia, by a despotic government of which this Grand Duke is a scion, will all be forgotten In the bright and dazzling glare of royalty, and his presence amongst us, like that of Prince Albert soma years ago, will offorJ a splendid opportunity to our phoddy aristocracy, of both sexes, to act tho part of fawning flatterers to this descendant of the house of Romanoff and generally to make first-class fools of themselves. t Tim forco of public opinion has at length compelled Grant's counsellor and friend, Thoopia Murphy, collector of the port of New York, to tender his resignation. He was beyond all controversy tho most noto riously corrnpt Republican official in the wVlo country, as was repeatedly demon tratad in tbe columns cf the New York Tribune. In his letter accepting Murphy's r j-sij-nation. Grant informs him that his "un tjualifioj confidence" in him remains un fthtken. Who doubts it, since it is to just rich men as Murphy that Grant attaches himselt as with hooks of steel ? furphy was a shoddy swindler during the war and h been a corrupt "ring" operator ever si ".re. He waj intimately connected with Tweed in some of his swindling j jibs and was a man after his own heart, the only dif ference between the two being that he did not succeed in stealing quite as much as Tweed, simply becauee his opportunities ware not so great. While Tweed has been unsparingly denounced by tbe radical press for his villainies, hia confederate, Tom Mur phy, bus been held up to tbe public as a paragon of virtue, a terribly abused effic and a marvellously proper man. From one of the local rttults of the lato Icv York election an instructive lrsson can La learned of the supreme hypocrisy f radi cal love for the negro. In tbe tecond'legia lativa district In the coumy ef Monroe, Fredarick Douglass was tbe republican can didate for Assembly, and Lord tbe demo cratic candidate. The official vote of the district for Secretary of State and Assembly wan as follows : State. I .4 snemhlj. TVP.Uri. (Iem.)....K.04.1 I Lord. (Dem.) 5,4.Trt Geribr.sr, (Kep.)...4.8J8 I Doujflass, (Kep.)..4.2.rj0 Ie-m. maj 145 Pern, maj 1,184 It will thus be seen, that 643 radicals who voie l fr Scribner, their candidate for the highest State ffloe, refused to vole for Dou glass, and what is stiil worse, about two hundred of them actually voted for Lord, tho democratic candidate. Here was the ablest and most prominent colored man in tho country a candidate for an cCice which be was abundantly competent to fill, and jet his republican white friends spurn him ai d refuse to vote for him. This is a nota ble instance of radical practice against radi cal profession and shows th:it however low that party can stoop in order to secure negro v.des, it is non est inventus when a colored man ar d brother ? running on its ticket for an i Dice, It id stated on reliable aathority that tho men who have been arrested and thrown into prison by Grant's soldiers in that por tlon c f South Carolina embraced within the territory covered by his proclamation de coring martial law, will be defended by Reverdy Johnson of Baltimore and Henry .'Unberry of Cincinnati, formerly Attorney Gnerlof tbe United States. Tbe trials will take place before tbe United States Gjurt at Columbia, presided over by Judge Bond, a well-known radical politician of Maryland, who was appointed to that posi tion by Grant about a year ago, and whose couraa at Raleigh, North Carolina, last sum mor, when a large number of similar cases were tried before him, affords a truo criterion of what naay be expected from him when he comes to administer the law in the other Carolina. Messrs. Johnson and Stansberry will base the defence of their clients upon tb unconstitutionality of the act of Congress of tho last session, known as the Ku-Klax law, under which Grant claims the right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at his sovereign will and pleasure. It is about tico that wo sheuld have an authorative decision by tbe highest judicial tribunal in the hnd on tho important question of wheth er we have constitution at all or not, and if we Live, whether the people havo any rihti under it which ft radical Congress is Uviicd to respect. At Local Option. It id now claimed by several leading radi cal papers in this State that "local option," as it is called, was a leading question before tbe people in tbe lato political campaign, and that an affirmative verdict having bean rendered, it will be the duty of the approach ing Legislature to give form and effect to the decision by its enactment into a law. Thi- is an afterthought. "Local option" was no more an Nsue in the late State elec tion than was the question cf "compulsory education," or that other question, "compul sory vaccination." If the question of "local option' was made a distinct issue in any one county of the State we would like to know its locality. If tbe next radical Legislature Bees proper to pass a "local optiou" bill, it may do so, but we deny its right to say that in so acting it is merely registering a decree of the people. Tbe temperance agitation has heretofore been and still is a rich and fertile field for the display of tbe low arts of political demagogueism, and tbe "local op tion" experiment ia the newest and most attractive form in which it has been pre sented. " We have never been able to bring ourself to the conclusion, however, that this particular attempt at reform possesses any substantial merit, or that it will ever real izi the beneficial results claimed for it by its advocates. In this borough, for instance, there are three licersod hotels in the west ward and one in the east ward. If the pro posed "local option" law would submit the question of licensing hotels to a popular vote in each of the wards of a borough, tho strong probabilities are that the three hotels in the west ward would be permitted to continue the sale of ardent spirits, while the one in the east ward would be ostracised and com pelled to stop tbe business. The result would be that tbe three hotels in the west ward would then sell just as much liquor as had previously beeu sold by four. A man's appetite for whisky is not controlled by a street separating one ward from another, and if persons in tbe east ward w ho desire a driuk, or several of them, will only have to cross a street into the west ward to be ac commodated, the morals of the east ward are as much debauched as if tbe liquor had been sold within its own limits. The same result would be produced in two adjoining town ships, the court being authorized to grant licenses in one and prohibited from doing so in tho other. This half way legislation will prove abortive, and although for a time it may amuse and tickle the "local option'' enthusiasts, it will soon prove to be a disas trous failure and its repeal be demanded. Its only possible effect, iu cur judgment, would be to limit the number of places where liquor conld be procured, but not to decrease the quantity consumed. The present license law cf Pennsylvania is as comprehensive in its purposes of repres sion and as stringent in its provisions as it could well be made. Its penalties are se vere, and few hotel or saloon keepers will lightly incur the ruk cf their affliction. If the law is not properly enforced, as is con stantly asserted, who are to blame? Cer tainly not the courts, for they will always discharge their duty when a proper case is brought before them. Like all other crimi nal statute, the license law will not execute itself, and if those who clamor the loudest in favor of just such expedients as the "local option" law will not enforce it and avail themselves of tbe remedy it affords them, their own proposed substitute for the same reason will prcve in the end to be equally as inoperative. To attempt absolutely to prohibit the use of intoxicating liquors is vls'onary and ab rurd. for the history of tho world proves that as long as they continue to bo manu factured tbey will be used in defiance of tbe most rigorous legal enactments. It is to be wished that it were otherwise, and that men would cease "to put an enemy in their moutha to steal away their brains," tut such is the frailty of human nature, acd it stands confessed that although you may pilo statute upon statute as high as Pelion upon Ossa, you cannot legislate mankind into temper ance. An AppALisa Disaster. Caving in of a Coal Mine and Great Damage to J'roperly. Scranton was thrown into a state of cons sttrnation at an early hour on tbe morning of tho 10th inst. That portion of the city known as Hyde Park, under which lies the anthracite coal, caved in between 2 and 3 o'clock. The citizens of all that portion south of Maine street were startled from their slumbers by a rumbling, crashing noise, and a trembling of tho earth as of an earthquake. So violent were the shocks and so loud the noise, that tbey fled terror stricken from their dwellings. In a very short space of time the streets wero crowded with terrified men, women and children. Great Cssures were made in the t IreeU. Bricks from the buildings flew in all directions, and tho destruction of that portion of the city seemed inevitable. The causo of the commotion was tha cav ing in if tho Disord voio. of the Oxford shaft, w hich has been mined over ten years. A similar accident occurred four years ago, but was not as disastrous as the rectnt one. O Id Fellows' Hall was damaged to such an extent that it trust be torn down. Tha dwelling of David J. Richards was torn from c -liar to attic, au 1 tho family were compelled to rush to another nort safety. Twenty acres of ground caved in. The Hermans House, a three-story brick, is badly damaged. Every room in the house was more or less seriously injured. Every well and cistern has been pierced, and are now dry. The inhabitants wore compelled to go over half a mile for water. The post office and the residence of Mr. Hermans set tled down some eighteen inches, and Scran ton avenue is one sceno'of destruction. Large cracks, some of which are over a foot wide, with an unfathomable depth, were made. In all of tho buildings, and particu'arly thrse of Messrs. Philips, Richards and How ell, the hotel and Odd Fellows' Ha'I, is tho destructive effects of this disaster most clear ly visible, as hardly any part of them re msin uninjured. Tho walls and ceiling are broken, floors sunken, windows broken wainscoting torn loose, while cisterns, wells and cellars have literally lost their bottoms, causing a destruction of property amounting to $80,000. b better from Ireland "o. 3. Correspondence of Cambria Freeman. LuiKiiicK City. Ihkland, November 6, 1ST 1. J Fbiesd Mac I believe my last letter left me musing on 6T. MAUY?S STEEPLE, gat'ng en tho grand and gorgeous scenes around mo. Af:er feasting my eyes on the quaint old Castle of Carrigogunnel, which looms up in tho distance, among the wooded bills of the beautiful Tervoe, upon the rock impeded Curraeur. tho fortified Castle of Kirg John, and a host cf other sights and scenes, I descended by the same dilapidated stone stairway with more difficulty than I had experienced in ascending it. In this steeple is a very fine chime cf be'.ls, which are rang only on some groat occastCm. The piesent chime ef bolls was put there when the Catholics lost possession of tho Cathedral. There is a curious tradition and interesting legend connected with tbe original bells. The legend as told to me is too long for present recital, but the tradition its that tbe Cath olics, seeing that their grand old church was about to pass into other hands, gathered at night and took down tho bells, and fur tho better safety thereof buried them in the bed of the river Shannon. The samo tradition says that these belli are heard or.ee every seven years chiming some plaintive, melan choly air. as if mourning over their watery do"m. I have met several persons who be lieve in this tradition, but none who claim to have ever heard tho chiming cf the bells. Accompanied by an intelligent friend, I strolled about the city until we csme to the head of George street, which is graced by a splendid STATUE OF o'cOSSfll,. The gret and illustrious Irish tribune stands,' life size and with bock in hand, on a high pedestal, forcibly reminding one of the mighty genius, tho towering intellect, the master mind of the immortal Dan. whoso every thought was fur bis down-trodden country. One is lost in admiration as he stands facing that mute statue and is ca'rit-d back in fancy to the stormy days of '29, when with herculean effcrts he labored to wring Catholic Emancipation from a bigoted and tyrannical London Parliament. Th's city often echoed his stentorian strains of burning eloquence, as ho exposed iu vivid colors the galling trorny, the slavish statutes, tho perfidy, plunder and persecution praetised by tha false hearted British usurpers upon the enslaved Iri&h nation. In this too were held soma of the most lively meetings of the Young Inlanders, when thesajre philosopher. Smith O'Brien, the daring and fearless Mitch ell, tbe dashing, silver toned Meagher, and tho other fiery.spirits who thought to art ue to action tho Irish people and iuduce them to make an effort to throw ifl the yoko of English misrule. Just as I was on my way to visit some of the many magnificent churches f r which this city is famed, the friend who was with mo introduced me to Mr. Michael Hogan, THE BARD OF IH'JMOXD, and before I was many minutes talk;r.cr t'i him I was struck by the force of the adage, Poela nascilur non Jit. for he is liuly na ture's poet. His large, prominent eyed are a sufficient index to tho gnius nithin, for when ho speaks of pretic subjects those orbs seem to dance with delight. Ho received almost no education and yet he can mount the ParnasMan heights and travel ever the richest fields of the sweetest poesy and song, and gather in his flight such a gr'and of beautiful similes, lofty imagery and high flown metaphors as would adorn the brow of the goddess of poetry. He presented me with a volume of his poems and his photo graph, which I certainly shall pre?eive as pleasing souvenirs of my visit to Limerick. In reading his "Battle Poems" one would imagine that he heard the cleaving, clashing and ciang'ng of the ponderous battle-axes as they dealt death and destruction to the perjured invaders. With regret did I take leave of this talented author, fully impressed that Limerick has a poet of whom it may well feel proud. The public buildings cf Limerick are in keeping with its enterprise. Going along George and Patrick streets I have seen as ex tensive and beautiful st ;res as Stewart's or Lord & Taylor's, of New Yoik. Any stran ger visiting this placo must admire the many bsautifcl ciiuncnxs in which the city abounds. I have visited since I came hero ten Catholic churches alone and yet have net seen them all. The rich and beautiful architecture and the cost ly and highly artistic designs of the most of them are sufficient evidence that the people of this city cannot be wanting in anything that pertains to their spiritual welfare. The outskirts of Limerick abound in sp'endid walks and promenades. The other evening I could imagine I was walking down Fifth Avenue or Broadway, Now York, thero was such living stream of female beauty, ac companied by well-dressed, manly-lonkiug gents, promenading up and down tbe Grand Parade. A walk up William street led me to old GARBTOWES, or Owen's Garden. The place which is now pointed out as Garryowen is a large neglect ed space of green sward outside the city limits. Here I was told was born the beau tiful but unfortunate Eily O'Connor, tho he roine of Gerald Griffin's highly interesting nevol, "The Collegians." The gentle Eily" or, as her proper name was, Ellen O'Han lon, was woed ar.d won by an accomplished, respectable villain named llardress Cregan, or more properly, Scanlan. Cregan, as he is called in the novel, was too polished and refined a ruffian to love, e.s his wife, tho confiding, simple Eily, and so employed a brute called Danny Mann, or 9ullivan, to murder her. The deed was done, and Scan lan was arrested, tried, convicted and sen tenced to be hanged. The day of execution came and Scanlan's relatives thought to con vey him in a carriage to the gallows. He eot in, but the horses, though whipped and beater, almost to death, would not stir. At length the proud murderer had to get out and walk to the gallows amdist the scoffa and jeers of an excited public. The horses then jumped and pranced away as if proud of the part they played. These are unex aggerated farts, told mo by people who wit nessed it about fifty years ago. About Eily I will have more to say on my trip down the Shannon. The weather here just now is a little cool, but pleasant enough. If I only accepted one-half of the invites I havo receivcd.I think, Mac. it would be some 'weeks before you would get a scroll again from me. They will make holidays here for any one coming irom America, ii i can only get away I will take a run down the Shannon and send you a sketch f what I see and hear that is worth sketching. Remember me to all my JohDstown and mountain friends. Yours, vory truly, EaioKAcn. The first draft of Grant's Thanksgiving proclamation is said to have had a decided ly klu-klux twang. It commanded tho people to peaceably assemble at church on the 30th, and threatened a general suspens sion of the writ of habeas corpus and a de claration of martial law if the order was not universally observed. ThA clirv. :,..w . . . n u ui.aia&o l was fortunately discovered by the Secretary cf State before publication. f TSic Element of Opposition to general Grant. At least three-fiftbs cf tho voting citizens of the United States deprecate and would gladly prevent tbe re-election of President Grant. These oppouents of his administra tion consist of the whole Democratic party and fully ore fifth of tLo Republican party. Tbe only difficulty ii to combine these into one solid phalanx. The defeat of Grant and the deliverance of tbe country from another four years of his imbecile abd disgraceful administration, depend upon the possibility of peifecting a cordial union among hia op ponents. To accomplish this somo things must be done, and other things must be forborne. Among the things to bo forborne and depre cated are these two : First, appeals to mere parly spirit and party prejudice. If Demo crats should raise their party flag too high, and flaunt it too defiantly in the faces of Grant's Republican enemies, they would set a bad and suicidal example Honest Repub licans can entr into such a union as we pro pose only by breaking their present party tics ; and Democrats are bound, in honor and magnanimity, to concede as much as they ask. We cannot, in conscience and consis tency, ask others to make greater sacrifices for the common good than we are willing to make ourselves. Of course, it would bo an insult to either side to expect it tomako any sacrifice of principle ; but if, on a compari son cf views, the anti Grant men are found to agree on essentials, it is tbe plainest dic tate of patriotism and public dutj- to waive minor points of difference and not allow party punctilio to stand in the way of suc cess. Secondly, another thing to be forborne is any cbstinacy of preference for favorite can didates for President. For our part, we do not much care from which branch of the combined opposition to Grant the candidate is taken, provided he be one who can five the needed tone to our public service. Let it be understood that, in this respect, both wings of the reform parly stand on the ssme footing in every respect, and that there will be on each side equal willingness and zal to support a Presidential candidate selected from the other. It is f. r tho interest cf all to nominate the strongest man, irrespective of geographical position or former party con nections. We hope the friends of no real reformer will be discouraged from pressing his candidacy when the proper time comes. To lead such a movement is an object of honorable ambition to any statesman. The more aspirants the better, provided the sup porters of each will cheerfully submit to the decision of a national convention after a fair comparison of. claims. A multitude cf com petitors will bo attended with two advanta ges : it will stimulate and diffuse effort pre vious to the nomination; and it will develop the popular strength of leading candidates, thereby aiding t be new President to compose a strong and popular administration. Let all candidates, whether inside or outside the Democratic party, have a fair show in the preliminary canvass. Our chief business, meanwhile, is to settle the principles ar.d is sues on which the combination against Grant shall be made. Withe ut undertaking to give a complete catalogue, we will indicate a few rf the ele ments of opposition to general Graut: I. The crusade against eorrpuiion in fjjic.e. This is one of the most hopetut issues for a combined movement of honest Democrats and honest Republicans. It has been well started in the successful! campaign against the Tammany Ring ; a campaign in which Democrats and Republicans have served to gether with co perating zeal. The over throw of Tammany is a preliminary engage ment, which introduces tho fcer.eral battle against official corruption. It hns demon strated the possibility of sinking party differ ences in a j ir,t ffjrt to expose and dethrone fraud and punish its perpetrators. A move ment of this kind, which is prompted by an awakened publ:c conscience, cannot stop with a mere local triumph. It will spread throughout the ccuntry like a devouring coi.fldgration, consuming the nepotism of Grant and the corruption of his subordinates as effectually as it has the abuses cf Tam many Ring. This is oue plank of the plat form on which all tho opponents of General Grant can stand together. II. Amnesty io the South. Liberal, hon est Republicans can unite with Democrats on this ground as cordially as in opposition to official corruption. The rascality which ha9 been brought to light in the Southern State governments is absolutely astounding'; and it has chiefly resulted from tho vindic tive, ost-acizing policy which has excluded the property holders and iutelligeot classes of the South from their due irifliier.ee in local politics. A victorious crusade against cor ruption necessari'y includes the only radical cure for the hideous maladministration which prevails jn the Southern States. III. The revenue reform or free trade move ment. This is cue cf the most important bares of tbe new political combination. For the last three years, revenue reform has been making great progress among thinking Re publicans, especially in the West. The most widely circulated Republican journals in Chicago and Cincinnati are ardent advo cates of free trade ; and free trade, with am nesty for its eily, carried Missouri against Grant and elected Gratz Brown last year. The revenue reform Republicans and the Democrats can cordially act together on thi3 great issue. IV. These and some other bases for the concurrent and harmonious political action of all good mea are set forth in The Would prospectus for 1S7-, in another column. Though addressed to our Democratic readers, and though setting forth distinctively Demo cratic principles which neither we uor they Can surrender, abandon, or compromise iu the estimation of a hair, we are assured that it none the less commands the support of those who must be our allies u our deteats on issues of the dead past are to be replaced by victories on issues of the living present and the near future. Such a new movement as we propose af fords the best promise of enlisting the Ger man Vvte in ciiposifion to General Grant. The majority of our German citizens, both in the East and the West, favor purity of adminis tration and universal amnesty. Among the most zoalous and determined foes of Tam many were the German voters of this city ; and the great amnesty triumph in Missouri last year was chiefly owing to their co oper ation under the lead of Senator Schurz. This eloquent and gifted statesman justly despises Geueral Grant ; and in such a combined op position as is proposed he would be a host. His vigorous sense and pursuasive tongue would aid the reform movement to captivate and carry the whole body of German voters in the United States, in opposition to such nepotist, venal gift-taker, and corruptor of tho public morals as President Grant. Wo will not, at present, enumerate far ther. It must be obvious, from tho points we have presented, that nothing is needed but a liberal, conciliatory spirit to bring all tbe opponents of General Grant together on a satisfactory platform, and make tha next Presidential election the opening of a new and brighter era in our politics. iVew York World. Tr natives on the west coast cf Africa are dying st a fearful rate from emall-pox.. Ktus of lite Weci.

A Catholic mission has been established in this country, with fpeciil reference to missionary labors among tho colored people. Some one with spare time on his bauos has been investigating a bushel of wheat, and reports that it eot tains 60G.OOO grains.

The cholera has at last reached our shores. A ve.-sel arrived ut New Yo-k las; week with thirty four cases on board. Every precaution is tsken by the authorities to pre vent the spreading of the disease. They believe in witches out in Titus vilie. A lot of men employed in a machine shop there, quit work the other day, because they were informed by a witch that the boil ei would explode at a certain hour. The Titusville Courier says: Col.
