Senator Wallace's Great Speech. We publish herew ith the concluding portiou of a very able speech deliver ed at a large meeting of the Democra cy of Clearfield county, on the 28th of September by lion, William A. Wal lace, and commend it to the considera tion of all ofour readers. . 'IheRepubli can party has had uninterrupted control 1 of the State government from 18(10 up to the present day. Will any intelli gent man, after having read the figures and facts presented by Senator Wal lace, pretend to say that a change i.i the management of the affairs of the State is not imperatively demanded in the interest of every taxpayer in the commonwealth ? The people are thoroughly in earnest on this subject and are fatally bent upon a change of administiation. so that extravagance and corruption shall be dethroned, and honesty and reform be made the rule in the future, and not the exception, as thev have been in the past. The have Increased sl,0!'j,153, in 1S74. Tlie control ! of patron age, power, and place is vested in a cabal of men who dictate nomination?, prescribe legislation, and farm the revenues of your great State. A system of taxation devised in their interest tills your Treasury at the expense, of your industrial corporations, or is so imposed as to lo wrung ultimately ! fiom the people. Taxes upon real estate have been repealed to give the excuse lor the change of your loans from a live to a mx per cent., to the end that, a full Treas ury might be at hand to make earnings for personal pain and political purposes, and the people were made to pay thereby, since lsr.r, more than $2,000,000 ky thisact alone. This subject is one that is worthy the con sideration of l he gentleman who opened the campaign at Rending, and as its results are, upon us yet, and daily affect the finances of the State, it is pertinent to inquire how it was done ? what lias been done? and why it was done? The act of February 2, 107, originated in the Treasury. Its spacious tised. should make such statement through pretext was the lifting of our overdue debt j jgnorar.ee.

The radical leaders fully appreciate the danger of their situation, the probabil- j ity of defeat in Ohio and the disheatt- ' ening influence of last year's failure, and they are making a commensurate struggle to maintain themselves. The energy of their campaign should give energy to ours. The work of Demo cratic organization mustcommencenow and continue until it is crowned by o access in November. A majority of the people of Pennsylvania desire a change. It is the duty of the hour to convert this inert desire into an active force by getting every man to the polls who thinks that it would be a good thing to do to elect Pershing and l'iollet. - The Republican county convention assembled in the Court room on Tues day last. The delegates, so far as our personal knowledge extends, were highly respectable citizens, and their proceedings were conducted in good order. The candidates put in nomina tion are perhaps as creditable a selec tion as could have been made under all the circumstances. Against them personally we know nothing, and have therefore nothing to say. Of course no Republican in this county lielieves r hopes that any portion of the ticket nominated, except one County Com missioner and one County Auditor, will be elected, the calling and election if whom is made secure by the pro vision of the new Constitution, which is eminently right and proper. The convention nominated two candidates for the olllee of County Commissioner, both respectable gentlemen Rees S. Lloyd, of Cambria township, and Da vid J. Jones, of Johnstown. As only one of these gentlemen can be elected in a county 90 decidedly Democratic as Cambria, the contest at the ballot boxes between Lloyd and Jones will simply be one of strength or popular ity with the party, and the highest on the vote will be elected; or, in other words, the devil of Republican politics will take the h imlmost of the two. Wo ned not repeat that there is no doubt about the election of the Democratic county ticket entire. It deserves to be eleVJ. and under the advancing banner of rEr.?ajNa and Reform, the Democracy of .tVbriawill again march to a triumphant victC'r The True Issue of rennsylvania. The N. Y. Sun ably discusses the Pennsylvania canvass, which it says is winning up, and the tactics of the Came ron-.Mac key Ring are developing apace. They intend to run the cam paign on the currency issue, and ignore the troublesome Ring robberies alto gether. It is a hopeful refuge, and they take to it with great alacrity. They arc a modest party, and would fain retire for the present from public notoriety-. Life in jails and peniten tiaries has few charms for them, aad they would much prefers continued res idence in the luxurious palaces reared at the public expense. Having several millions of the people's money, stolen at odd times and in various ways, sudden and imperative demands for restitution would fall heavily upon them in these hard times. They ask to be let alone. They insist that the several hundred cases of bribery and corruption, the few millions embezzled in the form of in terest, and the trilling diversion of the sinking fund from the payment of the public debt to the pockets of the Ring, shall not be dragged into this canvass. It would be an outrage. The attention of the people ought not to bo invited to a matter of so little moment as the wholesale plunder of their treasury, and the habitual use of at least a part of the proceeds to debauch their Leg islature in the interest of the thieves, and even to corrupt the ballot-boxes, so that a fair election has been a thing unknown and impossible in the sccoi d I he Ring mana- ncrn are decidedly in favor ot any other issue, and have seized upon the alleged soft monev deliverance at Krie with an eagerness which shows that they regard the change of discussion from State to national aflairs as a matter of life anil death. The election of Pershing after a heated campaign, in which the Ring enormities had been the principal issue, would be utterly ruinous, no only to tin: Rii.g as a body, but to every in- ! dividual member of it. It would be followed by prosecutions and suits, imprisonments and enforced restitu tions of plunder, which would render! tLit .uOi..ittAn V I t I in Ttl-ll.ll.s-fc ! tl 1 1 W 1 111 I 1 moiP mtM'4tt.

As for Piollet, he is even worse. From him they have no reason to ex pect anything but sharp and seiious work. His life, his character, his ag gressive career as a reformer, with the great constituency of farmers and workingmen whom his eloquence, more than anything else, has awakened to the necessity of self-protection, make him the very incarnation of all that is dreadful to the Ring. When Sam Josephs heard of his nomination he exclaimed, out of the depths of his soul: ' (J;cat (Jod ! if he ever gets into the treasury he w on't leave a leaf j unturned Maekoy, it is said, can- ; not contain his tciror; and the faces j of the whole gang are white over the , prospect.

The Republican leaders were shrewd when they seized upon the currency question and pushed it into prominence, in the hope that it wcnhl prove the one ab sorbing theme of the campaign ; and the Democrats will be foolish if they allow the ruse to succeed. The whole Republican party press, orators, and all are out in full cry on the impro vised money issue. Mr. Wright and the Democratic marshals should brin" them up on a sudden turn. tion in Pennsylvania is for a Governor and a State Treasurer not for Presi dent or Representatives in Congress. The real question is whether the State shall be honestly or dishonestly gov erned ; whether the taxes wrung from the people shall be applied to the pur poses for which they are levied, or go to feed and fatten the Rings. The taxpayers need care but little whether their money is hard or soft, if it is to be ground out of them to support an extravagant and licentious Adminis tration, and a large part of it stolen as fast as it is raised. Pennsylvania has issues of her own, upon which every- honest man who is not a party bigot or a party slave will inevitably vote with the Democrats and reformers.

However, we pre Ter the tobacco theory to account for the phenom- enal psychological tergiversation in which Sinbad ingloriously dispoited himself. ; Sinbad had gravely followed the horse's j course half way around the arena with his : shrewd glance, when lie quickly turnen around, bringing himself face to face with the horse as lie latter came up. Then, in this reversed position, to the horror of Col. Rice and the attendants and the great de light of the audience, Sinbad jumped and alighted upon the pad, with his face to the horse's tail. In the next instant the horse was passing under the platform. But Sinbad where was be? Like the illustrious original Sinbad, when he had his little ballooning trip with the roc, Sin bad was suspended in midair. As we stated iu the start, Sinbad has long horns. By the tips of these horns, caught over the platform, Sinbad hung suspended, graceful ly oscillatir.g, peudulum-likc, so to sjK-ak, while the audience roared with laughter.

Some fur ther particulars of the frightful catastro phe w hich befel a largo party of pilgrims to the jMahal'mgam shrine, on the Tin nevelly frontier, hi India, have come to hand. It appeals that they were camped in the dry bed of a torrent at the base of the shrine one Sunday evening. Thou sands of men, women ai d children were talking, or eating, or dancing in the sandy bed; hundreds of sheep.and fowls, brought. J iin to be sacrificed, stood in mournful j groups, each awaiting, its turn. At five o'clock there was a heavy shoner of rain, but the multitudes stirred not ; ten min utes later the hitherto dry Ind was full, ami the freshet rushed down headlong, carrying those who, notwithstanding ail their frantic efforts to gain the hank, could not force their way through the crowd. The water did not gradnadly itse, else the leop!e would have escaped ; hut a wall of water came down unexpectedly, and ren dered any attempt of the rear ranks to gain the shore problematical. In half an hour the water had fallen considerably, and one hour after the castastrophe there was no water in the bed. only the surface was wet and slipiery. Many dead bodies inter cepted by roots and bushes were picked up. Some were found to be jammed between stones, and only a very few of 1 he ill starred J now lot saved themselves by c.t.lniig a irienuly bough. It is believed t hat over two hun dred men, women and children must have perished.. The catastrophe was somewhat similar in character and results to that in Allegheny, a little more thau a year ago. A Contrast. The commissioners of Schuylkill county two democrats and one republican were recently convicted of wilful misappropriation of the public funds. A motion for a new trial was at once made, but after being fully and ably argued, was refused, and Judge Pershing sentenced each of them Patrick Conroy, Moses lline and Valentine Renner to two years imprisonment, if 1,000 line and to pay back t he county's money w hich they had wasted. They wei e, too, at once removed from.ofliee, and their places filled by appointments by the court. This was done in an overwhelm ingly democratic county, by a democratic judge, and prosecuted throughout by dem- j ocrat ic ollicials. ! Contrast this case with another we all re- momber, when three years ago a rcpubli-. can governor, wmun a lew oays ot tt-.e j elacttoti, opened the door of the peuiten ! tiary and freed two convicts whose false oaths as a consideration for their freedom, placarded broadcast; over the country, muilii gain voles lor uio men lepuuncan candidate for governor, John V.

The only ojection which the Rnow Xoths, ing Republicans of Maryland make to the Democratic candidate for Governor of that State is that he is a descendant of the emU . pent revolutionary patriot, Charles Carroll, I of Carrolton. When the great grandfather ' of John LceCarroll fixed his signature to j the Declaration of Independence, and pledged his life, fortune and sacred honor j in its support, no objection was made by his compatriots on the giound that he was a Catholic. But after the lapse of one hundued years this is made the only ground of hostility to a worthy descendant of ' Charles Carroll, of Carrolton. It may ,' well be asked whether the doctrines of re i ligious liberty and toleration have made j any progress since the revolution in view J of this shameful instance of bigotry and I intolerance. What is even yet moro diss graceful is that the colony founded by dotn of the recent lynching of Schell for the alleged horrible murder of Alice Laughlin. It is imwjsuspected that Mrs. Schell, the chief witness against her husband, mur dered the girl from motives of jealousy, as the hair fount! in the hands of Alice after death corresponds with thatof Mrs. Schell. Tlie wife's story, if true, would prove that she was either an abject slave to her hus band, or that, slio was not unwilling that he should commit t he murder, for she says she knew that he intended to kill the girl, and sat quietly in the wagon while the hus band accompanied Alice into the woods and perpetrated the deed, confessing tlie act to the wife after his return. It is in credible that Mrs. Schell would have acted thus, if she had not desired the death of the girl. But, as we have said, the wife's story is now doubted, and even the lynch ers of Schell are believed to regret their hasty action. Schell declared that Ids wife had killed the girl because of jealousy, and died protesting his innocence. No blood stains were found on Schell, and the evi dence of the hair is regarded as conclusive against the wife. The story would have been sufficiently horrible at the best, but ! if Schell was innocent, the lynching of him renders it doubly disgraceful to the com munity in which the double murder occur red, and it seems probable that future de velopments w ill fasten the guilt of murder ing Alice Laughlin on Mrs. Schell.

A gen tleman living up the bay says that a negro man with his wife and four children were forced to take a tree to save themselves during the late storm. The tree swayed to and fro with the violence of the wind, and threatened to fall with its heavy bur den. The old couple concluded that some one must bo sacrificed to save the rest. After a consultation the old woman said she was not prepared to die, and urged the old man to drop himself into eternity. Cut he, too, weren t ready, and tlie matter was A TEnnrm.E Crime. A horrible murder occurred at Suncook, N. II., on Monday last. Miss Long made, daughter of James Longmade, a highly respectable citizen of Suncook, left home that morning for school, having half a mile to walk, part of the way through woods. Not returning at the us ual hour, search was made and the woods scoured. At eight o'clock the same even ing her body was found in the woods half a mile from the road, with the head entire ly severed from the body. She had been fearfully outraged and murdered. As soon as the family received an intimation of her disappearance the alarm was at once given, and the people of Suncook turned out en masse to search for her body. It was found several rods from the road in a clump of bushes. At 11 r. M., the head had not been found. She was last seen alive that morning, one-third of a mile from her home. The road to school is a lonely one, their be ing only two houses on the way. She was seventeen years old, pretty, and a general favorite in the community iu which she lived. ARHEST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDEREH. Concord, Oct. 5. 1875. It is reported that a man named Drew has been arrested at Pemb.oke this morning for tlie murder of tlie girl Longmade, and that a mob is beseiging the station house in Suncook, where he is confined. The head of tlie murdered girl was found this morning about ten yards distant from where the body lay. will so farther ami lie more widely believed than any amount of the fiicndly criticism j of friends or the unfiiciidly ciiticis.u of op- j ponents.!
