Think of Zach Chandler as the lead- er in weep. u reform campaign, and then The Pittsburir litpaUh, one of the few decent Republican journals of the j present day, wiys that Secretary Rob- j esuu "has Leen guilty of worse things than Belknap." And jet the Cincin nati platform endorses Grant's admin istration and Hayes endorses the plat torm. The Radical organs arc in great tribulation because the Democratic party is going to destroy itself by re pealing the resumption clause of the act of 18T5. That they are entirely sincere in their expressions of grief cannot of course le doubted, though it does Beein entirely unaccountable that they should manifest such a deep interest in the welfare of the Demo cratic party. Tub Johnstown Democrat is right about the willingness manifested by the Republicans of this county to sell out all the other candidates on their ticket iiforder to secure the election f Tom Davis for Sheriff, and it there fore behooves the Democrats to keep a sharp ej-e on them and see that this little game is nipped in the bud where ever attempted. Every man on the Democratic ticket can and must be elected, and there is certainly less ex cuse for trading at this time than there probably ever was before. Beware, therefore, of the traders and their little tricks. A special M9PATCH from Pottsvillc to the Phila. Tirnt., under date of July 24th, says luiltone of the Mollies imprisoned there made a confession to the authorities on Saturday. It is supposed that Michael Lawler is the "squceler." and that he has given a full and detailed account of the bargain made last fall hy which the entire Mollie vote of Schuylkill and Carbon counties were secured for Governor Ilartranft. Lawler and Kehoc were the ambassadors of the- Mollies to Harrisburg, and if Lawler has told all ho knows about it there will be a story revealed which will make every decent citizen of this Commonwealth blush for shame. How much reliance can be placed on the average statements made in the Radici-1 press about prominent Libetal Republicans declaring themselves in favor of the election of Hayes and "Wheeler, may be inferied from the fact that the X. Y. Tribune classes ex-Gov. Cnrtin among tho fiiends of the Republican candidates, while the truth is, as the Bellefonte Watchman declares and has a right to know, being printed at the home of Mr. Curtin.that tLe voice of that eloquent and able gentleman will ere long bo hoard at various points in the State of Indiana ou behalf of the Democratic standard bearers, Tilden and Hendricks, and in favor of an honest administration and a thoiough reform in all departments of Lhe government. It is noted as a significant fact, and one worthy of special attention at this time, that in the political history of the country it has never been known to fail that the party which has had the good fortune to secure a majority in the national House of Representa tives two years preceding a Presiden tial election, has invariably elected its candidate for President. That there will be no exception to this rule in the ' present, contest wc icei penecuy sale in concluding, as the Democratic ma joiity in the House has full' merited the confidence of the country by in vestigating the corruptions and iniqui ties of administration, by exposing and impeaching dishonest officials, and by reducing the public expenditures to the enormous amount of nearly $40, 000,000 in one year. A special telegram to the New Yo. k World declares that the question I the impcaenment, oi secretary knows, never in the world was there reve Roleson will certainly be brought be- lation as deep and a damning as that now lore the Honsoof Representatives this ' week. The Naval Committee have Jlbout Agreed On their report, which recommend his impeachment and re frs certain questions of a legal char ter to the Judiciary Committee. It i not improbable that an effort wil! be mde to press the impeachment to a rote without anr reference. The fllover Committee will also bring in a resolution of imieachment on the pmnnd tht Robeson usel the funds of the government in violation of law. The Secretary i reported to 1 very uneaur on the situation a:id bis friends tre making ererv etfort to prevent a direct toU on impeachment. Tuosk among the leaders of the Re publican partv who for several years i past have been takirg a good deal of stock in the deceptive radical cry of ; peace, reconciliation and good will to wards the people of the South, arc not ! at all happv now that the lack of any thing like argument to sustain a sink ing cause has forced them to embark once more in the bloody shirt business. Conspicuous among these troubled spirts is Col. John V. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Press, who not many years ago was very energetically t hhk ing Ii:.nds across the bloody chasm, but who now beholds in his mental vision a threatening army of confed erate traitors whom he feels it his iKjunuen tl tity to denounce and mis repiesent to li:n utmost of his ability, which is by no means Inadequate to so congenial a task. Of the same ilk also is ex-Uor. Dix, of New York, who has of late been flaunting the bloody shirt in some- of Lis public utterances with such a total disregard Tor his former well known peace and reconciliation pretensions, that the Philadelphia Times has liven prompted to give him the following reminder, which is ex ceedingly cruel to say the least: In August, 18fi6, a political convention,, formally entitled tli6 National ITniou, but familiarly known as the arin-in-arrn" jon vention, was lielil in Philadelphia. Those were the early days of the reconstruction trouble, when the constitutional amend ments were Mill a subject of agitation aid! when the breach between President Johnson and bin party had not yet become aa un payable gn.f. It wan stated in the call for this convention that "the war ha ving coased, war nifjimiriR should also cease, and should be followed by measures of peaceful admin istration," In fact, Its ostensible purpose was reunion and harmony, which weie typi fied by the delegates from Massachiisettsaud South Carolina entering the hall arm in arm, and by the choice of officers, when the nom ination of General Johu A. l)x, of New York, was seconded, with a greeting of loud cheers, by the Confederate General Dick Taylor. General Iix made a speech on the occasion, the tenor of which is expressed in tb it declaration of the convention: The people of the late reltellious States having surrendered to the nation.il author ity, and having shown a readiness to return in spirit and in truth to the principles of gOTernmeut put forth by our common fath ers, it is our duty aa brothers of one national family to forget the past, and. strive by true emulation to perpetuate the principles of American civilization. General Hates has written to Bay that he will accept the Republican nomination for the Presidency. This is what the Pittsburgh Post calls cheering. Hayes is a good natural gentleman, and he will run. He has nothing to say of the present incum bent, and does not promise to follow in the footsteps of Grant. But General Hayes says very adroitly, but with great apparent innocence, that he don't believe in odious the doctrine, "to the victors belong the spoils." Therefore, General Hayes, if elected, will not make any disturbance among the present office-holders, bnt will let just ae many of Grant's dependents remain as are honest, capable, and faithful I Exactly ! Now this simplj means that he will not remove anybody for we all know that all Grant's present office-holders, including brother-in law Sharp, and brother-in-law Casey, and Babcock, and all that sort of people, are acceptable to the Radicals, and Hayes will retain them of course. For wh among the "victors" at his elec tion, will be nble to show that they are more competent, or honest, or truthful than the present incumbents? Be sides, you perceive that they have what untried aspirants cannot have experience they know how to perform all the complicated duties. If this manifesto of Hayes's does not mean an assurance that he will retain Grant's officials in place, what does it mean ? It is not possible that Le intends to put any Democrat into office, although it is certain that none of that stripe will le among the "victors" if Hayes should be elected. At a Democratic ratification meet ing held in Lonisville, a few evenings ago, one of the speakers suggested that the party symbol of this campaign should be a -new broom" typical of reform. The Courier-Journal indors es the idea. "These .ire sweeping time?,"saysthatprtpor: "Honest men have gone in for a sweepstake against corrupt men. The Democrats mean to make a clean sweep cf the Republicans. Ours will be a sweeping victory, and a sweep all around through every de- j part men t of the public service is to be had as the result of it. So the house wife's familiar implement, 'New broom,' furnished by the Democratic party and flouiished by our excellent Uncle Samuel, is just the figure to in spire the ieople. Let every Demo cratic club provide it A New Broom.' It is a useful thir.g to have about a family and will come in nice and handy next 4th of March.

Upon the heads t-f those charged with the execution tf the laws ii-slu the responsi bility for this collision. If it is true that Governor tcott placed these aims and this ammunition i" the hauri of these ignorant people, it was a ci iuie against them and the white people that he did so. It was a crime in Governor Moses to have allowed them to remain iu their hands, and it was more than a crime in Governor Chamber lain in the light of his experience upon that subject. It was a cruel and inexcusable wroug, an unpardonable tsin against the peace of the country and the lives of the people that he should have allowed these guns and ammunition to remain in their hands. The jurisdiction and powers of a Trial Justice are la rue aud the responsibili ty proportionally increased, at an impor tant point on our bo: tier, like Hamburg; and a man of the grcatestdiscretion, fidelity and firmness, could and should havo been procured to till the office ; but instead of that, this man, Prince Rivers, wholly unfit for so important a station, ia the only act ing Trial Justice in Hamburg, and 1 be lieve the next nearest in Aiken county is about twelve miles distant. Now, if there had been a Trial Justice accessible, who would have given Mr. Robert Butler jus tice, when, like a law-abiding man, as be is, be appealed to him to protect members of his family against this so-culled militia, "this horror" would never have been chronicled. Not only does he not afford him protection, but the rutli.m constable of this Trial Justice, one Bill Nelson, a copper colored negro, insults me as his attorney Then I approached him in a perfectly re spectful manner, to inquire about the whereabouts of the Trial Justice in order to begin the investigation. I was more over buffied and trilled with for hours by this Trial Justice and his negro associates until this armed company of outlaws had time to concentrate in their armory, where they could successfully maintain their at titude of armed insurrection, armed with guns which this same Prince Rivers ad mitted in my presence had been taken from him by these negroes without authority. The town bad a negro iutendenl, negro aldermen, negro marshals. It was almost a terror to every white man vhose business required him to pass through it. They had harbored thieves and criminals from every direction. They had arrested aud fined some of the best and most peaceable citizens for the most tiivial offenses against their ordinances some for drinking out of a spring adjacent to the highway. One young man was lireti upon, the ball passiDg through bis hat, arrested, dragged to prison and heavily fined, because his horse shied on the edge of a sidewalk. An old man was arrested, Insulted, and fined, because his horse turned ou the sidewalk as lie was in the act of mounting. Market wagons, camping within five or six miles of the town, have been robbed night after night, cattle had been stolen and run into this place aud sold. Stolen goods have been systematically received here, iho parlies knowing chem to have been stolen. For nights previous to the collision uuoflemlin" white citizens were halted by tiie pickets of these militiamen, armed with Mate guns mid stationed on tho highways. In ote in stance five or six of them had scraped their bayonets on the palings of a gentle man, and upon his remonstrance cursed aud abused him in the hearing of his wife and some visiting ladies. The names of all these persons can be given. Why did this Attorney General and theta "swift denouncing" newspapers not put themselves to some trouble to ascertain tlie provocations on both sides? That this was not a company of State militia, but a band of negroes organized contrary to law, or without the authority of law, who had taken the State property without authority, that "Company A, Ninth Regiment, Na tional Guard of the State of South Chio Una," had been disbanded for several years, and that this band had usurped their or ganization without authority, that they had not only unlawfully and riotously ob structed the public highway, but had broken up a civil court, defied its process and resisted its mandates, and insulted its o fried s and riotously threatened the lives of peaceable citizens. I invito a judicial investigation, and am prepared to submit to the arbitrament of the law ; and such is the feeling, as far as I have been able to learn, of every white man who is in any degree connected with the affair. The white men of this county have some lights which the negroes are bound to respect. They have no other feeling for them than kindness and pity. Kiudncss for their loyalty to our families during the war, and pity that they will crmit themselves to be made the tools of bad, mischievous, designing white men and mulattoes. So long as they oliey the laws every honorable man of the country will feel bound to protect and encourage them in happiness and prosperity. L'harU$ton Journal nf Commerce. Kiixed by a Rattlesnakb. A Horri ble Death in the Woods. A correspondent writing from Portage, Pa., (not Portage, Cam bi in county, as some of the papers have it,) says that on Monday morning of last week Miss Sarah Uoodloe, daughter of a prominent citizen of that place, accom panied by two little girls named Jenuie W aguer and Laura Webb, went out in the Wyckoff Mountain to pick huckleberries. About ten o'clock the Webb girl returned crying to the village, and said that Miss Ooodloe had been bitten by a rattlesnake and was sick in the woods about a mile away. The young lady's father, accom panied by a couple of friends aud Dr. Crane, went to the spot, guided by the girl. On reaching it a fearful sight presented itself. Miss Goodloe lay in convulsions ou the ground aud was swollen to an enormous Bize. Dr. Crane at once tore her clothing loose and revealed the fact that the flesh bad commenced to turn black- She was entire ly unconscious and was at once pronounced beyond all human aid. The snake had sunk his fangs deep into the calf of ber leg in two places, and one of them was found hanging to her stocking. The doctor admistred such remedies as are used in such cases, but the unfortunate young wo man died in a few minutes after the arrival of her father and party. Her limbs swelled so that the one bitten by the snake burst the skin. She died in the most intense agony. One of the little girls, Laura Webb, says that when the snake struck Miss Good loe they were near the top of the ridge, and were about to start home, having their pails filled with berries. Miss Goodloe threw herself on the ground shrieking, and the little girl saw the snake still banging to Iter leer. She ran itn and iui7uH it l 1,0 tail, jerked it loose, and killed it with a club. It was then lhe fang was torn out. The deceased young lady was the only surviviag child of her father, whose wife and son met with violent deaths, the former dying from lock-jaw, caused by running a needle in her fnt, and the latter having been gored to death by a bull.

A MOTHER ANT HER TWO CHILDREN 6UFFO iCATEU TO DEATH. John E. Cameron, residing near Pitts ville, Pa., put a fire in his lime-kiln on the morning of the 13th inRt., and then wentto work in a bay field some distance away. Soon after one of his children, a boy about nine years of age, conceived the idea of lowering bis little sister, aged five years, into the kiln by means of a bucket and windlass used for that purpose. Acting upon this impulse, be induced the little giil to get into the bucket, and before long she found herself at the bottom of the pit. The fire had by this time heated the stone, which emitted poisonous gas, aad the little girl, becoming alarmed, screamed to be drawn up. The boy tried to accomplish that feat, but not being able to do so, ran home and acquainted bis mother and grandmother with the condition of affairs, both of whom hastened to tbescene. Look ing down into the pit the distracted moth er saw ber little daughter lying on the bottom, she having fallen out of the bucket, aud thinking to save the life of ber off spring, she drew up the bucket and putting her son into it, left bim dowu into the noxious pit, telling him to put bis sister in the bucket and get back into it himself as soon as possible. The little Tellow succeed ed in getting the body of bis little sister into the bucket, and clinging to the side of it himself he was drawn up a few feet, when tho gas overcame him and be fell back unconscious to the bottom. The bucket was drawn to the top and the body of the little girl quickly removed and laid on the ground. Mrs. Cameron then told her mother-in-law, a lady nearly seven ty years of age, that she must lower her into the kiln, as she must go down to res cue ber son. The old lady seized the crank and Mrs. Cameron got in the bucket. The weight was more than old Mrs. Cameron could control, and the crank flipped from her hands, and whirling around struck her on the head, stretching ber, bleeding and senseless, on the ground. The mother of the children was precipitated with great force to the bottom, and no doubt rendered unconscious before the poisonous gases had their deadly effect upon her. About this time the Pittsville stage, John Kane, driv er, came alone by Cameron's farm. Kane discovered the body of old Mrs. Cameron, lying bleeding by the kiln, and Ihat of the child lying near ber. He stopped the stage and jumped out to see what wes the mat ter, followed by 9 gentleman passenger. The bodies ef Mrs. Cameron and the other child were discovered at the bottom of the kiln. Kane told the passenger to turn the windlass as soon as he gave him the word, and then rapidly descended into the pit, baud over hand, down the ropo. lie plac ed the body of Mrs. Cameron in the bucket and she was pulled quickly up and placed on the ground. The bucket was then low ered and Kano succeeded in getting into it with tho boy's body. Kane was uncon scious when be reached thetop, and it was a long time before he was able to sit up. By bathing old Mrs. Cameron with water Kane's companions soon restored her to consciousness, but her daughter in law and two grandchildren were dead. As soon as Kane was able to walk the three corpses and old Mrs. Cameron weie put in the stage and taken to the houso, a'ld Mr. Cameron was suinmoued from the field, where he was working all unconscioua of the terrible tragedy. M:s. Cameron was About thirty five years old. This kiln is a singularly fata! one. No longer ago than last fall two men working for Mr. Cameron were suffocated in it under circumstances similar to the above, and three persons be sides have met their death in it at different times during the past seven years. Remarkable Experience with a Rat tlesnake. A Terrible Battle with the L'epttfe. A rfUpatch from Milford, Pa., J dated July 04th. says that a four year-old son of a man named Riley, residing on the old Milford and Oswego turnpike, iu Bloom ing Grove township, that county, came into the house on Saturday last, carrying a rat tlesnake. He had one hand clasped tight ly about its neck, and the other above its rattles. The mother of the child was ter rifled, and screamed to the boy to throw the snake on the floor, which he did. It coiled up in a second, and tilled the room with tha din of its rattles. Mrs. Riley seized a broom and soon dispatched the sereiit Her little boy cried over the death of thevenomous plaything, and said there were more where he got that, and he would go after another one. Mrs. Riley summoned her husband from an adjoining field. He asked the child to show him where he got the snake. He led the way into the scrub oaks about a quar ter of a mile from tho road, to a small ledge of rock, iu which there were many fissures. There, basking in the sun, the farmer saw dozens of rattlesnakes. He took his child in his arm and hurried away from the spot. Procuring the assistance of a hired man, the two, armed with flails, returned to the den. They attacked the serpents, thresh ing right and left. For five minutes the contest waged, the noise made by rattles of the snakes being almost deafening. Uiley and his man killed twenty-one of the rep tiles, aud many escaped into the fissures in the rock. Riley's little boy had wandered alone to this dangerous place, and bad captured the snake and taken it home. It was two feet and a half long and had seven rattles. The Mouie Maotjires. Some Very Plain Talk from a Catltolic Prient.Ax. first mass Sunday morning, in the Church of the Holy Infancy, South Bethlehem, the pastor, Uev. M. C. McEnroe, paid bis com pliments to the members of the South Bethlehem division, Ancient Order of Hi bernians, or "Molly Maguires." lie said that recently one Sunday some of the mem lers of the order went to the furnace at Freemansburg, took whiskey width them, made drunk the workmen there, and then endeavored to induce them to join the ac cursed order. He named these men. The reverend gentleman reviewed the history of the order, and the same was not exces sively flattering. He said the very con stitution of the order was a fraud. It de manded that members must be Irishmen and Catholics, must commune once a year, and be honest, respectable citizens. Then naming half a dozen of the men prominent in the order here, he asked, "Who that has beeu here for the past ten years has seen , and so and so commune?" He scarcely saw how they claimed to be Catho lics. "Are they honeBt and reputable? Go to the shops aud stores throughout the borough and see." Father McEnroe dwelt on the subject at length ; gave the "Mol lies" to understand that there could be no half way measures, no compromise : that he meant to follow ihnm, that all true Irishmen would support him, a,nd that, for one, he was not afraid of the dreaded "Mol lie Majniirea."

A mass of thick ice tilled the point of Lake Erie from which the Niagara river starts, damming the wafer effectually for nearly a whole day. The falls soon drained the river above leav ing only a deep creek to run over tho Amer ican sido, and the British channel reduced to less than half its ordinary size. The present is the fourth invasion of the Big Horn country by United States troops. Gen. Conner went there in 1805, and destroyed a village of hostile Cbey ennes and Arapahoes. In 1SGG Gen.

Two lads named John O'Brien and Ro bert Milner undertook to drive an express wagon at Englewood, N. J., on Tuesday, but the whifHetreo broke, the horses ran away, the wagon was upset and a coibayof of vitriol was broken, scattering the lluid over the boys, turning both of them teni bly.

Tbe talk about making Mr. Evarts tho Republican nominee for Governor of New York," says the Brooklyn Eagle, is quite lively among the female seminary wing of tho Republican partv." "But," according to the Eagle, "the evidence that Mr. Evarts will support Hayes at all is wholly wanting. The evidence that be will be likely to suppoit Tilden is uot want ing, and it will probably bo shown lu a short time beyond mistake." Steel freight cars are the latest and most important railroad novelty, the object being to make the cars lighter thau the present wooden ones, and thus save the wear and tear of the rails. It is claimed that these steel freight cars can bo made weighing not more than fifteen thousand pounds that will carry from twelve to fif teen tons of freight, and that by uing steel trucks a car weighing twenty thonsand pounds can be made to carry twenty-five tons of freight, and that steel passenger ami freight, cars can be made stroucr aud more durablo than wooden ones. The Cleveland Plain Dealer publishes a call for the formation of a Tildeu club, which is copied from the Wachteram Erie, and signed by 441 German-American citi zens, only 58 of whom have heretofore af filiated and acted with the Democratic party. The names published iu the Wnrchter do not compiis more than one half who have signed the call for the for mation of this club. This call is not the work of mere politicians ; it emanates from men who feel the importance and necessity of administrative rcfoim. A large majority of the signers of this call voted last fa 1 for Mr. Hayes, but they now regarn inm'as tbe typical candidate of Grant ism, and they repudiat that ism as they have all lhe other iunt of the day.
