Some of our Republican biethero do not approve of the remark of Governor Tilden, that when elected he will -ntcr upon the duties of his position, "not as a holiday recreation, but very mac'i in that ppiiit of consecration in which the soldiers euters battle." To our mind this feeling of the importance of the work before him, of the enormity of the task which it i f.r l.itn to accomplish, is one of the surest auguries of tho success with which we fee! confident that his efforts are destined to be crowned. It displays a just appreciation of tho ob stacles that will bo thrown in his way, of tho dangers with which l.is path will be beset, of the amount of persistent enoigy that it w ill be necessary to expend in the prosecution of Lis work. The grer.t mass of corruption which is now ro ling over tho country has, in its movemcut, acquired such momentum that lo stay its progress will reipiiro the cxiensa of greater foico than most men po:cns. In addition to this impetus, depending upon, iu own in crtia, every man wh- tri the new Tiesidont wil! find in ofiico will h.ivo an i..!c-.Tt iu impeding his cr.dcr.v.-us ;i:..l j.u: hinr on the hidci.uti heap. Tiii'm l.:is, howeTcr, fliown his eminent ability to d j s.it such work ad will he itt cessmy for its ilcstruc tion, ar.d we have no doubt about his suc cess in whatever of the kind he undertakes. It cannot be done, however, by junketing about the country, and engaging in a Eer ie of varied pleai-ures and immoral rev eliies, like Grant, who views his osition as a personal cift for past services, and a thing intended only to yield him as much sensuous gratification as possible. It will bo hard work to upio,t Grant ism. Hayes could never accomplish it. lie his neither tho necessary strength of will nor capacity for the work. Tilden has ; but he knows that to the strongest man it will bo a most arduous undertaking, and he will enter upon it in a proper and becoming spirit. Ox the day after the adjournment of Congress, with an indecent haste worthy of the present corrupt alministration, Sec retary of War Camomn issued an older to General Shi man commanding him to place troops at various rviin's in scvrr.il nf tho Southern States for the avowed purpose of protecting tue negroes in mo ngtit or suf frage, but with no other object, in view than to secure for Hayes the electoral vote of Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, and maybe Alabama. In issuing this in famous order tho wily Secretary, who in this respect at least fully verifies the old adage of "like father, like son," has tho impudence to assert that tho proceeding is in accordance with tho spirit of the resolu tions recently passed by the Democratic House of Representatives in rceard to the 1 right of free suffrage at tho South. Tb people everywhere fail to see it in that light, and not only tho Democratic and Independent, but many of the leadirg Re publican papers of the country, denounce the infamy in no measured terms, as wit ness the following from tho New York rott, a journal about whoso Republican orthodoxy there can be no question : The indeeenry of the President of tho United States usiiir his office and his author ty for the promotion of purely partisan ends is too manifest to prrd pointing onf, nnd whetheror not the President has willingly done this, he is worthy of blame for seeming to do it. His order is unwise from the point of view of either patriotism or statesmanship, and there should le no other point of view possible to a President of the Uuited States. -t Ho. Gideon 'VVei.lfj, who it will be remembered was the fust Secretary of the Navy under President Lincoln, is out flat footed for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform. In speaking of Mr. Tildcn's letter of accept ance Mr. Welles says it "is the product of an able mind a statesman and a olitictan, who will give us an energetic and capable administration." He has little or no doubt about Tilden 's election. Death of Speaker Kerr. llavinc learned from tbe brief announce ment in our last issue that Hon. Michael ! C. Kerr, late Speaker of the national House of Representatives, was lying at the point of death at Kockbridge Alum Springs, W.

For monti.s r.rr,n,ed to bear Fah wuiiii j r these sad tidings, Mr. Kerr having long j been a great sufferer from consumption of the bowels, which toward the end involved the lungsalso, but the hope was still upper most in the public mind that some change for the better would take place in his phy sical condition and that this faithful and ablo statesmen would yet be spared, for a timo at least, to the nation that so fit tingly honored him and to whose service he devoted the best years of a pnro and spotless life. At the time of his death Mr. Kerr was a member of Congress from the Third District of Indiana, which ho was then representing for the fifth time in that j body, and was, as already stated, Speaker of tho U. S. IIouso of Representatives at its recent session, being the first one hold ing that high position who died whilo in office. He was born near Titusville, Craw ford county, this State, in the year 1827, and has a tw in brother still residing in that county His, father, Samuel Kerr, upon j whose farm tho first oil is said to havo liccn discovered, emigrated,) the Cil creek valley from Fraukstown, then in Hunting don but now in Blair county, towards the close of the last century, whither he was accompanied by Mr. Jonathan Titns, after whom the city of Titusville was subse quently named these two being the first white settlers in that region. Tho father of the deceasodwas a surveyor by profus ion, and a man of shrewd sense, wit aud natural ability, but not for seeing enongh, it would seem, to behold in the great fu ture the valuo of his own possessions, he having sold iu 1852 for $9,5G0 a tract of land which brought over $250,000 after tho discovery of oil iu that vicinity. The subject of this sketch, non. M. C. Kerr, received his education at the old Erie academy and spent several years in that city, where at the age of nineteen ho married a schoolmistress named Miss Coo ver, who was several years his senior. He soou after went west, where he remained for a couple of years, his wife at ill continu ing to reside in Erie, tho fact of their mar riage being kepta profound secret between them. II is friends wore greatly astonished at the end of that timo to learn that he was married, and their forebodings in his be half were anything but pleasant to con template, although future developoments show ed that they were entirely groundless, the match proving in eery respect a very fortunate one. lis wifo, however, during I his absence in the west, had the misfortune to fall out of a window, receiving injuries which greatly marred her personal beauty. Mr. Kerr subsequently studied law in tho University of Louisville, where he gradua ted in 1851, and from there removed to New Albany, Ind,, one year later. From this lim until his death bis highly honor able career i-s briefly traced in the following which we clip Troia Monday's issuo of the Philadelphia Timet: "Here (at New Albany) his talents and r.t'ility soon uroitjjht him into notice, aud in IK.j.1 lie was elected to thu Legislature of Indiana for two years. In this position ho enhanced his reputation and popularity both by votes and speeches.

In 1SC2 he made his appearance on a national pi at form, having been chosen to the Thirty ninth Congress, and was re-electi in 18tt5, 1ST.S, 1S70 and 1874. In Congress the career of Mr. Kerr was true to the principles which he professed. He opposed ail illegal schemes for abstracting money from the national treasury, insisted upon public officers lieing held to a strict account, nrgfd the discon tinuance of nffdless office-holders, and r eomniended bringing the government back to the early rules of honesty and economy. Being an impressive speaker, and at all times fortified with facts, Mr. Kerr com manded the atleuiinn of the House when ever he spoke. His record is that of an honest, upright and cousitUent.

It seems that paits of the nation he served so long aud ' so well. On Monday his remains, after being embalmed, were taken to Now Al- . bany, Ind., his late homo, under an escort rosistirjg of several officers and members of t e House of Repre entatives, and w ill this afternoon be consigned to th ir lat ; earthly resting place in the Presbyterian cemetery, of which Church he was for : many years an earnest and consistent mem ber.

This is an entirely proper declaration, and the President and Secretary Cameron would do well to heed it when they begin to .ntrndiicn soldiers nto the South for the 1 purpose of carrying the State; of North i Carolina, Mississippi ano liniusiana, Dnt it is only the declaration of a principle, and ; docs not confer a particle of power iiHm ( anvbodv, . It is impossible to construe the ! resolution as an act of legislation. The country believes that all attempts to prevent tho free exorcise of the right of suffrage should be punished, and the res- olution was passed with the object of bringing this belief to tho attention of those whoso duty it is to punish such of fenses. Whose duty, then, is it? Not yours, Mr. Grant ; nor yours, Mr. Cameron; but the duty of tho government of the Siate in which the offenses arc committed. That it is neither yonr duty nor your right to interfere in the matter has been declared by two practically unanimous decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, so plainly and uumistakably that no doubt can be raised concerning be raised concerning tne principle J ami its application. "Lertaiuly it 'ill not bo claimed," says the Court, adjudicating this very question of prevention of the right of suffrage, "that the United States havo tho power or are required to tlo mere ioIice duty in the States." But this point is be yond argument. It has been settled by the highest authority in the land. The House of Representatives, recognizing this settle ment, confined itself to the declaration of the principle, and did not attempt to do an unconstitutional act by conferring power to enforce it. That is left to the States, where alone it belongs. The Fifteenth Amendment declares that the right of suf frage shall uot be abridged by the United States or any State on account of color, etc. It is not claimed that either the United Stales or any States have attempted to abridge the right of suffrage on this ac count. Tuorefore there is no case to which the Fifteenth Amendment can possibly apply- Messrs. Grant and Cameron may bo pre sumed to interpose another view of the case. Suppose, they may say, that the States are unable to prevent olTeuses against tho right of suffrage, or to punish such offenses, and that they call upon the United States for assistance ? You had better overhaul the Constitution of yonr country, gontlenr.en, and remember that it is now the law of tho land. The provision is plain and simple. Cut out section IV of article IV, and paste it iu your hats. Then you may remember that the United States is authorized to protect tho States only against invasion or domestic violence. The domestic violence iust pass the limit of a mere riot or hical disturbance, and at tain the dignity of an insurrection against State authority. Of this there, is uot the slilrest danger in any Si a to of the Union. If euch a case of domestic violence were to i ..... occur, you could only interfere ou the ap- piicciuou oi mo iA.-g!si;iiurt 01 meoiaie, or I of the executive, when tlio Legislature cannot be convened. The limit of your jxiwcr is prescribed by this section, and these is not even au unconstitutional enact Ujim.L, now in existence, giving yju any other or further authority. Neither iu tho Constitution nor in the laws of the country is thoro tho slightest authority fov tho acts which Messrs. Grant and Cameron propose lo commit. Tho section above referred to gives no powt r whatever to nso the army of the United States "for protecting all citizens in the exorcist) of tho right to vote," nor for assisting in the puuishment of any per sons whatever. The possession of any such power by the United States has boon point edly denied by the Supreme Court ia tho Grant Parish case, whero it was expressly declared that the "dnty of the Goverumeut to alrord protection is limited always bv tho power it possesses for that nnroose." 'n. - j for it) of the President through Secretary t ameron therefore means that tho t inted States, transcending its constitutional pow ers, and unauthorized by oven tho sem blance ol a law, intends to wage war against certain States of the Uuion, for tho purpose of upholding tho supremacy of a political party. Secretary Cameron orders General Sherman to do a manifestly illegal act, an act for which there is not the tbadow of a warrant in law. Tho tict would be entirely improper and indefensible if it were hou eMly intended for Umj protection of the right of suffrage ; as it is intended as a r f.on of the plnu to carry certain States for the Republican party by the use cf troops and tuoney," it becomes a conspiracy aga;i.st tho sonstitutiou, an outrage upon the rights of th people. President Grant and Secretary Cameron had better stop just where they are, or they will be met with such a storm of public indignation as will make them think that a tornado has bocn let loose.

It was show n that Mc Ptleii and Patrick Butler, one of the de fendants, held their high court of investi gation iu the presence of a dozen or more persons, some of whom were, aud some were not, members of the order, before which court Thomas Hurley appeared with witnesses, eager to prove that he was a murderer ! Such a scene is not equaled in the history of the world. Such, how ever, was the terror inspired by this or ganization that none of those piesent not belonging to the order dared to disclose what they knew for fear that their lips would be sealed in death within tweuty four hours after such disclosure. Samuel A. Garrett, Esq., opened for the defeud -ants but did not promise any testimony to materially change the facts as proved by the Commonwealth. After the opening the defense put Christopher Donnelly, one of tho defendants, upon the stand, but his testimony was uot concluded when Court adjourned. John J. Slattery, already under bail for procuring parties to commit arson, was again arrested last night aud put in jail upon the charge of beiug implicated in the conspiracy to mnrder Jesse Major and William Major. He was committed in de fault of bail. ANOTflEIt MOL.MR CAOKD. This morning officer John T. Heislcr, of the Coal 6c Iron police, took a stroll to wards Mt. LafTee, having iu his pocket a warrant for the arrest of John Stanton. He saw Stanton and persuaded him, in regular Coal & Iron police style, to ac company him down to 'Squire lieed's office, where John was informed what he was arrested for, and charged with, hav ing conspired with other Mollies to kill Jesse and William Major. Ho was uot much sut prised at the charge, but when the 'Squire told him that he would have to go to jail, providing ho could not fur nish 5,000 bail, his astonishment was very great. Ho wanted a hearing, but as I it was impossible lo have it this inorning, on account or no witnesses being present, it was postponed until to-morrow. Stan ton then wanted to be let off until to-mor row, when he said he thought ho could furnish bail, but tho 'Squire ts not so green as John thought he was. He is tho man mentioned iu the evidence in tho late trials as being one of the managers of tho Mollie Maguire ball, held in the old Town Hall, to raise funds to defend Kelley aud Doyle.

At the Berks couuty fair grounds at Reading, on Saturday, young Tony Espinosa, not yet fourteen years or ago undertook and sue cessfuJly accomppshed the feat of riding 25 miles in less than an hour's time. Tho boy is a dark-skinned Mexican lad, tough, brave, healthy and determined. Ho wore blue kneo breeches and fancy colored cap and white shirt, His father superintended the changing of horses, which was done at the end of every mile. The first milo was run iu 2:14, tho second in 2:0',), the third in 2:15 and in about that timo throughout, with few exceptions, tho miles were run. As each mile was completed, ouc of the troupe would catch tho horse as ho crossed the score in full speed, aud throw him back nearly on his haunches, while tho boy would jump uffaud iu an instant would be on the back of xn other animal and gallop ing away. The sixth heat the horse bolt ed from the track and rau down over the rocks, but the boy mastered the animal and kept on his back. By this accident three minutes wore lost, However, the lad determined to make up for lost time and he rodo swifter than before. Round and round the course he went, fifty-two times without stopping and as he came home the last time, he was received with great applause when the judges announced that the 25 miles had ben accomplished in USJ minutes. Tho boy was obliged to ride around the course 52 times to make tip the distance lost between the two stands, as the start was made at the outcome, the track being short. The boy did not appear veiy tired. lie was slightly per spired, and all the refreshments he took during the ride w as a few swallows of water, lie sits gracefully in tho saddle and appear cd to ride without an effort.
