While Ihe AVv Km will advocate '.he line princi ple of the He) nlilican paity, as its editor m;d publisher nude, si a lid them, it pi opuses to be fcailcssdy indcpcr.tletit of all coiiupt Hepublican lings and factions. It is well known that the Cameron clan of politicians has long cxcici.'cd supreme cont.ol over the Iiepublienn n gat. iz it ion in Lancaster county, as well as in the Slate, and we .indjje that it will be t':c mission of the Xe-.r Era to irscue its pruty fiom the foul cm- j brace i f that di nir.i al:z.!g jxilitical power. It is only recently that Mr. Geist seveied j bis connection with Ihe Lancaster Exprei, which, under his long and able rililorialj management, became one of the hading i Republican organs in the State, and if he i now wages war lo the knife against politi- i cat corruption and in favor of honesty in 1 government, national, Stato and loci', ' which wo do not doubt the Xrw Era will faiflll all the expectations that its n.vr.e implies We hope in tho meantime, bow- i ever, that the Fhkkm'as will be deemed ' worthy of a daily instead of a weekly visit from tl.;s new ami biilliant candidate for public and gencious "apptnval. j J. J. WmoiiT, a colo.ed lawyer, former- ! ly resided in llotiesdaie, Susjuehanna ; county, in this State. Soon after the close of the lebcllion, and about the same time ! that John J. Patterson carpet-baggid from the Juniata valley to South A'aiolina in seatcl. of "fresh lields and pastures new," Wiight also pitched his tent in the Palmet- lo State. While Patterson's chief object1 was plunder and the putting of money in bis purse by any means whatever, Wiight wns intent on achieving high judicial posi tion on a very small capital. During the memorable days of t (-construct ion in the , Southern Slates, and while the political cauldron was boiling, the f-riiin was sure to come to i he sut face. In a very few years a motley Legislature of South Carolina elected Wiight to the high and honorable office of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. During the last, few twmt hs some of Wright's oiKcial as well as unofficial acts have caused his colored brethein to doubt his judicial purity and to I Link that it was not above suspicion. The Legisla- ' lure of the State being now in session, Mr. ! Mtnouf, a coloted Kepuhlican member of . . ' the House, has introduced a resold! ion for th appointment of a committee of live "to make a full examination of all matters per taininp to Ihe proper discharge of the of ficial conduct of J. J. Wright, Associate Justice of the Suptemc Court." The res olution was adopted by a vote of 7C to in, most of the colored membets voting for it. Our only purpose in referring to this matter now is that inasmuch Jas Wright in a ctl nred. man and a Judge of the highest Coint in the Slate of which Wade Hampton is Governor, if lie should be impeached and removed from office, KepuLlic.in nympalhy for him cannot charge his judicial downfall tothe "rebel Pernorine'." but must at tribute Ii Ik fttiddi'ii tftkitig-off to men of his own political party and of binuisu uuLIeacb &bi color.

' on Saturday last, has cieatcd much s-.ir- ' prise. The only reason f,r an extra ses- i .... , ' i.vn at all, and it is tho single one as-1 signed in the proclamation, is the failure of Congress to pass the army appropriation , -. I M !... .!.

He concluded, however, that he could carry on the afi'ahs of his depaitment without a new appropri ation until tlie l ist day of October, and so stated at a Cabinet meeting on Saturday, and this, it is claimed by the friends of the administration, was the reason for the .postponement. llns appears piausiuie 'enough, but other and weightier reasons could be readily given. It has been well known that Hayes has all the time been opposed to an extra session, if it could possibly be avoided. The people also are ' opp sed lo it unless it is absolutely neccs sary. as the country always bieaths freeer ' and deeper when Congress is not in session. ! Hayes and his Cabinet fear to run the ' gauntlet of the discussion of his Southern ' policy, which would be certain to take place in Juno if Congress was in session, : although we believe that the political situ : ation iii Ohio was the true cause of the postponement. The election in that State will lake place on the 9th of Octcber, six j days lifure the time fixed for the extra ! f-ession. Hayes dreads losing his own State by the election of a Democratic Leg : ii-Iatuie, which would displ.ee his friend, counsellor and guide, Stanley Matthews, . f;-om his scatjin the Senate, to which he de sires a reelection. Too much discussion . in Congress in June might make it very I uncomfortable; for both Hayes and Mat j llicws in Ohio in October, and hence the eleventh hour postponement of the extta session. I An Act of Assembly passed in 1871 di '. reeled that 3,000 copies of Smull's Legis lative Hand Book should be published an nnalty for disM ibut ion among the members j of the Senate and House of Representatives, as follows: One thousand to the Senate ; and two thousand to tho House. We will not now discuss the question whether or not such an act should ever have been ; passed at all. Al every session, however, since its enactment, the Legislature, not satisfied with the large number of o,000 copies furnished to its members without ( IIH'III I .nil' lOUHiUI. Ill lur, Ililft il U II Ul I SCll 1 the p.iuting of 3,000 additional copies of the same book, to be also distributed among the mem bets, thus entailing on the treasury the cost of publishing at each session G,000 copies in all. Tlie ptiuting and donating to the members of these 3,000 additional copies has been a gross outrage and does not admit of the least palli.it ion or excuse. One would suppose that w ith 6,000 copies at each session this thirst for Hand Books would be assuaged and that the appetite of members would cease to grow upon what it fed. Rut the last Leu islat ore eclipsed all : its predecessors by authorizing tle printing i of jt'jr thousand additional copies, fifothons- 3tid foi the Senate and four thousand for 1 the House, thus making nine thousand i copies for distiibution at one Ression. All ! this supplemental legislation is a clear vio i lation of the letter as well as spirit of the ; original act, and a shameless tcbbciy of the I pubi c tieafuty. The Legislature has no I more legal or moral tight to use the pnlTltc : money to print and supply i's members ! w ith this or any other book than to fui nisi. ; each of them with a new hat or a new pair ! of boots, and especially has it no right to vote these addit ional number of t he Hand j Rook at its own sweet will and pleasure, j Rut such is the style of Pennsylvania legis lation, and the taxjuiveis submit w it bout a murmur, thus justifying the piesumptioii i hat. the more they aie plundered the but ter they like it.

The Renders might have continued their bl.i.,! y woik in peace and prospeiify for an n. definite length of time had they continued j planting their victims in ihe gaaden. Hut j jPVinus tothe kiliingof Dr. Yoik thev had j murdered a man named Jones.

It proved to lie tho , body of Jones. lie had had his skull i Sill.lNll'.-U 111 ILII il II, Ull. lit I .11111 llin I I. HI. II, j cut from ear to oar. The body bad no '. clothing upon it save a shirt. Some tel. or a dozen fanners met quietly on the banks of Drum creek, and after viewing the body of Jones held a council. At this meeting the Renders were spoken of suspiciously, and it was determined to keep the discovery of the body quiet until future developments. The next day a man who was evidently a tramp and had footed it from Independence on his way to Fort Scott, stopped at. Diitrtot's house and asked for something to eat. In conversation with this man, Dutroit learned that late the pre vious evening the tramp had, w bile looking around for a place to pass the night, come across a small hay stack back of the Ren der's house, into which be quietly nestled himself. It must have been midnight w hen he was awakened by voices, and quietly looking out from his nest he saw the dim outline of three persons, evidently at woik digging :tt a short distance from him. It was so daik that he could not distinguish them, but he could hear them speak in German, a lmgnage he could t.jt under stand. His first impulse was to go out to them. Rut something seemed to with hold him, and after a time they finished whatever work they were at and withdrew into the house. The tramp departed early in the morning and had tramped on until he had stopped at Dutroit' s for breakfast. He concluded his tale by remarking that it "looked mighty like as if they were burying some one." Mr. Dutroit said nothing at the time, but when the party of twelve met by appointment on Drum creek, he related tiie ciiciini stances to litem, and it was de tennintd to give the Render mansion a quiet investigation. A wagon track was discovered leading to the Render place from where Jones' body had been thrown into the creek. The paity struck out on the wagon trad, and at about sunset it brought them within sight of the tavern. It was then determined to forego proceed ings until the morrow, when in the morn ing the entire paity would meet on Drum creek well armed, and ride over to the Render place. On the mot row, about eight o'ch ck, the party assembled on the creek and immedi ately proceeded over the praities to the sus pected house. Rut when they arrived thete they found the Render ranch deserted. The j Renders had noticed the squad of horse men tiding upon Ihe wagon-trail the pie- vious evening, ami during hy night had : bundled up t licit effects and departed. Tlie j Rendeis at this time had four horses, a cow. and a wagon loal of household truck. While the scouting patty were canvass ing the new state nf aflaiis, Mr. Dutroit - . . ... 1 otlioi'K u-fit oi :.-.. '1. ..r i... cated by the tramp. Thev searched around tor some t line in vain, as the ground had been tecently plow ed over, but at last struck a spot that appeared tiio-Mer than the rest, as though the ground beneath it had tecently beet, turned up. No shovel being found thiee of :he party set to work with shingles tout from the roof of the house, and after digging a hole four feet deep, one of them i cached down bis band and pulled up the skiit of a man's iiudei gar ment, and beneath could be seen aii"ex posed poitiou of a human body. This w;s the corpse of Dr. Young, though at the time the exploreis did no, know it. The track of the Render wagon could be seen leading to the southwest. The horse men follow ed it af full speed. Just bcfiro sunset the pu.suers came in sight of t he fu gitives. I hey had evidently urged their i teams on with ail speed possible, as they S were a good foily-tive miies fmni their ! tavern, and their animals appeared well used up. There was no cow with the ; outfit, nor had the Renders' cow been seen from that flay to this. As the pursuers ! came in sight of their game I hey gave a ! yell and charged down upon thorn. The i moment the Renders caught sight of their ; l'ursuers the greatest consternation ap ; pea red to seize upon them. John Render, who was walking by the side of the wagon) ; ran forward to the lead team as though to I unhitch them, but was evidently recalled by the old man, who handed him out ait ! ol I fashioned smooth-bo. e Yeager rifle, j With this weapon he tiled a harmless shot I at the advancing horseme n, and then drew : his navy revolver and reached his hand into j the wagon f.,:- another. Refote he had lime to draw it forth, however, a shot fiotn one of the farmers laid him out. lifeless on the prairie, the ball entering the left breast and piercing the heart. Old man Render stood up in the wagon, ; and, striking down the over, yelled at his ! hoi sen in German and flourished a revolver , over his head. The pursuers wished to capture them alive, if possible, but did not j like to approach too close lo the old man's I volver. As they were going down a roll j prairie one of their lead horses fell i and Kate, springing out of the wagon, went i to the fallen animal as if to get it up. Rut . instead of raising the fallen beast, she cut loose its mate, and, mounting it, was en- deavoiing to make her escape on its back. At this the old man seemed crazed with anger and in ea Ins revolver at her. He did not hit her, however, hut the hor.se sminc- ing forward caught n leg in the breechins ; of its fallen mate and went down with Kate ' under him. The old man having emptied , his revolver, tho pursur.s closed in on him , and beat him down with their gun barrels j though he and his wife fought like tigers j to the last. After they had tied Render ! and his wife they got the gi.l out from i under the horse and found that she had a I leg broken in the fall, dutroit said Kate i acted like a very devd. She cursed them j cursed her father and mother, and seemed' j a red hot vial of w rath, j The party m ned over to a "ruti" and ! camped for the night. Old Render refused : to say a word in English, but both he and his wife cursed their captors in German. Kate Render seemed to think their captors j knew evetythinp, and while she would not i answer quest ions she made no concealment I of the hellish work that had been can ied on at, me tavern, and asserted frequently that they had killed over 100 persons. She said she hud done most of the throat cutting herself; that John was afraid; that he or tho old woman did well enough to knock their victims on the head, bin they appeared to be afraid of them after iney were down. When asked why they killed so many (referring to her assertion of bavin" killed 100 persons) she replied that the old peo ple (meaning her parents) liked the money, hut she liked to see the blood, she was ly ing on the ground unbound, her 1 iiinu preventing her escape. One of the men happened to sit down near her when, quick as thought, she jerked the revolver from his belt and fired at him. The ball missed him and entered the fleshy part of the thigh of a man named Love. Refote she could fire again she wras shot, one of the balls passing thiough her head. The old couple looked with appaient indiffer ence upon the terrible scene, and when spo ken to woulj make :ic reply save lo giv ut- terance to maledictions? upon their pursuers, j The farmers held a long consultation a i to the disposal of theirp. isoucrs. A bond of sworn secresy was entered into, and sj the old man and his wife were both idiot, They made no appeal for mercy, but died cursing. The following morning their ef- fects were divided up aiming their captors, The bodies weie buiicd on the spot. Chicago Time. 1 . . 1 Thrilling Welsh Story.

During a period . of neatly ten days ateirible battle has been , . raging in the Welsh colliery of Troedyi hi w, ; . a battle in which Death savagely fought ; on one iide and the brave miners of Poll- ! typridd on the other. The tab; is one that will live long in the homes of the Rhondda ' valley. It is a story the details of which ; have been given day by day, and which has j stirred to the lowermost depths the sympa- thitsof the English people, and enlisted ! the earnest solicitude of the Queen herself, j Day after day since the strange calamity j occurred which closed a number of hapless miueis in A living tomb, the first tidings j for which the newspaper was searched at ; eveiy household table, has been the latest j report from that dreadful Troedyi hi w mine. I When the news had ben. read that the j miners were still entombed, public sjmpa- ; thy and iuletest gradually quickened into ' an absoibing anxiety, which converted the j battle waged so long and earnestly for life into a national event. It was on Wedues- j day the 12th inst., just as the day shift ; Coliieis were quitting the Tioedyt hiw Pit, j when the catastrophe occurred. Some last J incautious blow, or some accidental bleach j of wall or vein, burst the thin paititioii . w hich held back a vast concealed reservoir ' ofsubtiMTatiea.il water, when suddenly, w ill. a rush like that of an angry incoming sea, ; a black Cocytus of flood bioke i.i upon the mine. Filling the lower galleries and the bottom of the shafts, dtiving before it the I atmosphere fiom eveiy pot t ion of '.he wo. k- I itgs, this mysterious deluge cut olf two ' pailtes of men, who escipeil with difficulty j fiom the peril of immcdiatedrowuiug only ! to find themselves immured in the first and ; second adits of the mine nearest the upper ', shafts. No sooner was it known that a i number of operatives were missing that, j scoies of brave, haidy volunteeis weie fonh- ! coming to lescue their fellows. Many at ' : once descended the shaft, which is 276 feet , 'deep, and etuercd the wot kings. It was 1 then ascertained that all the woi kings j j w ithiu a few hundred yards of the bottom j ! of the shaft we.e filled with nater to the ! , roof, and no hope was enleilaiuetl that j any one would be discovered alive. While j . the exploreis weie consulting as to what ! movement, should be made, taint knock- i ings weie heaid on the other side of the ! coal, as was coiijoctuied. at a distance of j thirty or forty feet. No sooner was this ! discovity made than a score of men linen oil' their jackets and with man . diils woiiimeuced cutting thiougl. (he so. id ; mass. The imprisoned weie also at woik. ; Thiouglioiit the night, telasof men toihd ; wil'n desperate, untiring enetgy, chceied and eneouiagcd by the knocking and sounds of labor of the imprisoned men. , The task was very laborious, it having to be pel formed in deep w ater, but such was the pi og ess made lliat on tlie following nioiniiiL' a mandiil slriu-k II11..0..I1 ni.it mandiil struck through hole was made into that part ot tho it wiiete live men were Mint up. 1 l.e next moment a terrific explosion occulted and one of the imp. isoned, a miner named Morgan, was hu.led into the opening, where the tescue.a found him dead. The inuud'.itioti had been so sudden as to im pi ison the air in the inner workings, and the force of this had kept back tho water from the live men i:i lliat locality. The moment a small hole was cut by Morgan's mandril th is volume of impi isoned air es caped and hulled tlni poor fellow's bodv inio the opening and his soul into eterni'y'. His body was soon a tie) brought to the sur face, and immec'.n.tcly following the four living men were brought up and delivered into ihe hands of their enjoyed friends. Others, however, weie still missing; others I weie mourning over friends still immured j in the pit, and once mote the explorers, I with willing hands and stout, manly heatts, j set to work. Once more knocking w is j hcaid, but at a consideiable distance, j These remaining prisoneis were, like their released fe.lows, shut up in a chamber of ! compressed air leading out of a gallery i which the water had entirely tilled. The j other end of this chamber was a thick solid ) wall of coal, and beyond this again was ! another passage filled with water. Divers j attempted to penetrate this latter passage, j but failed, ami it was not until Mondavi j the loth inst., that the water in il. was so ' far leduced by pumping as to render work- j ing practicable. T til Thursday following j the men who had volunteered lor the task i winked continuously by constant lelays in endeavo. ing lo cut. a passage through the wall which separated iheiu from theii im pi isoned comrades. The passage w as about three feet in diameter, and the met. canied on the woik on their hands and knees. So j gieat was the interest to effect their rescue lliat a colliery owner worth at least j went down in the train of a collier to lend a helping hand. On Tl.u.sday the le.scuers 1 cime neai enough lo communicate with tlie entombed, til. outing at the top of his voice, a miner asked. "How mauyofthem are yon?" The reply came hack, 'Five."
