a prosperous voyage and a safe return.
Wiikx the Emperor of Ilussia, in tho
early part of last week, passed over the I
railroad through a portion of Houmanhi, a
Turkish province, on his way to Bucharest,
the headquarters of his army, the most un
usual precaution was taken for his personal
safety. That part of Koumauia has re
cently been suspected of being a gathering
place for Poles ami other turbulent char
acters, intent, in Russian opinion, on the
assassination of the Emperor, if a fit op

Thk Chaiiman, together with a small
fragment of the Republican County Com
mittee, met somewhere in this place on
Statin day last and tlected Wm. M. Jones,
of Ebensbiirg, and W. II. Storey, of East
Conemaugh, Representative delegates to
the State convention. John T. Harper, of
White township, was recommended as
Senatorial delegate, and a resolution adopt-

John A. Lemon for Auditor General. Sat
urday, September 1st, was fixed for holding
the delegate election, and Monday, the 3d,
for tho meeting of tho county convent ion.
Tho leading Republicans in this, end of the

of tlie lOtlr ult., the subsequent appointment .

which was about to bo set on fot by M.

"lar government wi h grave apprehension
for the safety of the Republic, has some- j
what subsided, leaving: the conspirators in !
j
a quandary and the people defiant and con-
fident of ult imate" triumph.
The caise )f lbe c (P ((((t was ,,ie
. .
intrigues of the monarchists by whom
France is continually cursed, embracing
the several prollinate breads of Chambord-
ists, Orlcanists (Botubons), and Bonapait-
isls The Bourbons, who are represented

the event of the success of their united ef
forts to subvert the government of th'e peo-
pie and re-establish the monarchy, the
"
Count de Chanibord, who is considerably
j advanced in years, would be King, with
i the right of succession reserved to the
i Count de Paris. Under this agreement
both of these factions have been plotting
in concert, nd the letter of McMahon to
Simon is supposed to have been dictated
by the Due De IJroglie, the arch-conspirator
of the llighf, or monarchial party, with
uie v;cw uf paving the way lor the nion
.. .
archv 1V precinitatinsr the present crisis
before the corning elections would have
permanently established the Republic,
which they would most assuredly do if
they were conducted by the municipal of
ficers of the nation, Hence the necessity
in the minds of the conspirators of a change
of ministry and the consequent removal of
the obnoxious officials, to be followed by
tho appointment in their stead of men
known to be in sympathy with their dernier
retort of defeating an honest expression of
the popular will at the ballot-box. The
desperate strait of their cause, is seen in
the llimsy pretext setfoith in MacMahon's
letter that Simon had failed to appose the
passage of the repeal of the press law of
1875, which was originally made at the in
in specie, or four times the amount at pres
ent in the treasury of the United States,
which is of course a very tempting bait to
the avaricious minds of the royal brood of
vipers who are plotting against her peace
ami liberties. Once let the Republic have
a successful experiment in Frarce and the
forco of its example will be so powerful
with the down-trodden slaves of monarchy
in Europe that the logical result will be a
revolution iu politics, -which will forever
w ipe out those hereditary dynasties which
have lo;ig been the bane of the old nations of
Christendom. It is for this reason that the
monarchicsof Europe aid and encouiagethe
; trench pielemlers, with the hope that on
j tho ruins of the Republic a monarchy may
bo erected as a prop to their own toMering
j thrones. Rut this hope is without found. i
; tion in fact, for in no country is the Re
i publican sentiment stronger or more potent
i than in France. The votaries of monarchy
; may diduge the land in tho IiI-hmI of itscil
i i.ens and achieve a tcmpoiaiy success, as
; they have dono on several occasions within
J the past century, but the will of the people
! will at. length triumph di'spite the machin
' at ions of kingly usurpers, and the advo
. cate-R of the imvink might of kings will
bo made to feel that the "authority of the
temporal ruler depends upon the consent of
the governed," and not on any right in
,ieiet m ,ie individlIf, b .. f ,
lineage, military prestige, or past services
to the nation.
1. S. Since writing the above, the news
from Pai is indicates that the Hourbonists
now suspect that MacMahon has all along
been acting in the interest, of the young
Napoloon as the future ruler of France,
and that his mother, the ox-Empress Eu
genie, is intriguing with the same end iu
i view.
Hon. n kn it y S. MoTTdicd at Milford,
; Pike county, on yesterday week, in the
' GCthyearof his age. In 1S54, when the
Kuow-Xolhing patty was first organized.
Mr. Mott was the regularly nominated
candidate of the Democratic party for
Canal Commissioner, and George Darsie,
of Pittsburgh, a man of ability and admit
ted iKM'sonal integrity, was the Whiff can-
it would. We are decidedlvof tlm oniniou
that to the square mile Ohio contains more
deep oliiicians and more profound states

It is a satisfaction to know that the In
dian problem is fast approaching a settle
ment and that the expense, hardship and
danger of au annual military campaign
against the belligerent savages west of tho
Missouri river will be avoided in the futme.
Since the beginning of March nearly all
the leading hostile chiefs, with their war
riors, their aims, and their ponies, have
come to Red Clond, Spotted Tail, and oth
er Indian Agencies, and quietly surrender
ed to General Crook, or some other officer
in command. The surrender of the ablest
and most troublesome of all the Indian
leaders, the renowned Crazy Hoise, and his
band, took place on the Cih of May. He
will bo remembered as the chief who met
tho ill-fated Custer in battle last summer,
in Montana Territory, and inflicted such
terrible slaughter on his command. He
and his warriors said that the peace he had
made would last and not be broken. The
only large fighting force of Indians which
has not yet surrendered is Sitting Bull's
band, lie is supposed, as is his custom
when matters become too hot for liim south
of the Yellowstone river, to have crossed
the boundary line into the British posses
sions. The important question of distrib
uting and maintaining the large number
of these Indians now at the agencies will
be disposed of during the summer. If this
can be done satisfactorily our Indian wars
will be over, except perhaps with the
Apaches in Arizona, the most blood-thirsty
and treacherous savages on tho continent.
They have repeatedly been compelled to
make peace, only to be followed by their
again taking the war path, dealing death
and destruction wherever they roamed.
D EST R VCT I V E FlUE AXI GREAT LOSS OF
Like. The most disastrous fire ever expe
rienced in Bridgeport, Conn., occurred on
Thursday night last. At 11:30 a light was
discovered in the fourth stoiy of G rover,
San ford & Sons' factory. The flames were
first seen in the dyeing or mixing room, in
the northwest corner of the third story of
the main building, and running along that
floor were communicated by the dummy to
the stories below.
While volunteers were removing the
goods from the office, a one story sti net ure,
suddenly and without warning the back
and front walls of the factory fell, leaving
the two highest walls unsupported. The
one adjoining the office leaned outward,
and as a shriek went up fiom the specta
tors, fell upon the roof of the ollice, crush
ing through to the basement, and burying
those within. One man, who escaped
w ith a gash, stated that there were a dozen !
men in the ruins and already eleven bodies
have been removed. Nearly all are fear- j
fully crushed and more or less burned.
San ford's loss on the building, machine- 1
ry and stock will reach about two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; insurance, one
hundred thousand dollars. There were
about fifteen thousand hats ready for ship
ment, tho most of which were destioyed.
The hat shop gave employment to two hun
dred and fifty hands, and was to have
started on Monday with a full force. San
fords say they will sell or lease rather than
put up a new factory without a better wa
ter supply. They had a hose on every
floor, but no wafer could be had.
Two bodies not fully identified next day
prove to be I hose of James Coyne, bill pos
ter, and John Killingbcrg. The latter was
only recognizable by a hand, from which
he had previously lost fingers, and a tiuss
worn on the body. This completes tho
hstol tlie dead, eleven in all.
The Wonders of Telegraphy. A
patent has just Wen granted to Loring
Pickering, tine of th editors and proprie
tors of. the Ereninj Bulletin and Morning
Call, of San Franciso, for a method of
rapid telegraphing of fac similes of stereo
typed plates. It is- claimed that by this
process au entire p.ige of a newspaper can
be transmitted by telegraph in from fifteen
to thirty minutes, delivering tho copy di
rectly from the instrument in such form
that it can be handed immediately to the
printers. Iu other words, (he copy will be
a substantial reproduction of the original,
except that it may be given iu a larger
sized letter if so desired. The Btereotyoe
plate requites no prepaiation for the pur
pose of telegraphic transmission other than
the filling of all its depressions or spaces
between the faces of the letter w ith a non
conducting substance which may be quick
ly applied, the faces of the type being left
clear by means of au equally simple pro
cess. The plate thus prepared is placed
upon a cylinder arranged to revolve tapid
ly, so as to present each successive letter
to lingers attached to a travelling frame.
As the cylinder bearing the plate revolves,
the frame gradually advances by the oper
ation of a screw ; and thus each and every
line is successively presented to the fingers
or magnetic points already mentioned.
Necessarily the circuit is open when the
points aro passing over the nonconducting
surface : but as often as the metal type pre
sents itself to said fiugeis the circuit is
closed, and the corresponding magnetic
points or pens at t he qpceiving stat.ion'niake
the record theie in the same, letter as the
original, delineated in a series of fine linps.
j either upon chemically-prepared or ordina
ry paper lixed iip-m a corresponding cylin

Matisiiat, M'Maiio.n's Policy. The
London Time" Paris special of June 1 lib
gives the following report of President
MacMahon's reply to the Legitimist depu
tation : ".My duty forbids that I should
risk a change of the elements composing
the present Cabinet, seeing that it has of
fended none of the pjwers with which
France is friendly. As to the Legitimist
candidates, any Legitimist candidate really
having a chance of success wil! be openly
and loyally supported by the Administra
tion at the elections. The question of pro
longing mf office will not be considered
during the prorogation of the Chambers,
and I shall lend myself.to no coup tie. main
of any kind whatever nor to any venture of
Imperial or monarchic restoration. It will
pet haps be necessary to demand a dissolu
tion of Chambers. If you accord it to me
I shall use it as well as possible ; if vou re
fuse it I should withdraw."
Pa tits, June 11. The France asserts
that Ihe Government have resolved to pro
hibit the brojected plcuary meeting of the
groups of tho lie ft before the reassembling
of the Chambers.
Mounts Wan no, of Granville, N. Y.,
aged 19 years, and weighing KM) pounds,
deserves Ihe title of champion .Man with

weighing 2(10 pounds sat on a heavy table
in a sal-Mm there. Wando stood on a chair
and seizing the table on one side with his

of the lloor, and held them there tificen
seconds. He lifted a cask of whisky
weighing 400 ounds, astride of which were
two nion whose weight was 300 pounds

pulling on rope which he held in his

Gov. Hendricks on the Presidential i
Flection. J
' Following is a stenographic report of tho
most interest itig part of a farewell speech
delivered at Indianapolis, on Friday even
ing last, by Governor Hendi icks on the oc
casion of his departure for Euroiie :
I have had my conti S'S. I have teen thrown
somewhat into ihe political strifes In Indiana--nnd
they were no ordinary strifes that have j
deeli made in the State; the party lines imvo !
heen closely and t in h l ly di n w n. mid the con
tests have tieen very curliest, very positive,
very determined on lioih sides; ihe tendency
has lieen to make the men of the respective .
parties very loiter towards tlioe of the ottier
side. I have experienced I hat somewhat not
very much, I think anil why is it? Hecause
I have never carried it myself; I have never, i
in the political contests into which I have been
thrown, carried -tioiiK with men person. il pre- j
judice, a bitterness toward the men ol ttie
other side. (Applause.) I conceded it to any
irentlemaii who occupied u dilliereul position
from myself politically the absolute riirht to
oocjpy that position, 1 haxe never quest lotied j
it. 1 conceded that riurlit as I claimed it tor
myself, and only one sentiment has jroverned
me, and that was, believing that the side I oc
cupied was ritrht, I advocateri it with nil my ,
initfht according to the principles of honor and j
liirht. (Vehement applause.) The presiding j
officer of this occasion has relerred to the tact ;
that if the vote of the people had been rejrard-
ed I would occupy the position to which I was
nominated last yenr. (Applause.) Of that I
have no more doubt than that tiovernor Wil- I
Mains was elected tiovernor of Indiana. (Ap- '
plause.) lint at the same time justice requires !
me to soy that if the decision had been left to .
the (rreat body of the people of both parties, !
the decision of the ballot-box truly marie wi u d :
not have been reversed and defeated. (Ap- 1
plause.) I believe that to-nirht it is a subject ;
of reirret to thousands of (rent leinen who did
not ami would not vote for m who did not :
and would not vote for Governor TiWlen a ;
subject of profound regret that the damajriiiK I capiS a joud call w Cutler Cor another Mac
blow has been (men to .-tmerieaii institutions. -,,..
((treat applause.) And I would not refer to It
in any partisan spirit except to say this: That l
hereafter the man who is elected President of j
the ITnited States by the voice and judgment j
of the American people must be inau(t uraied. :
(Wild applause.)
lexpictto see other lands within the rext '
three inont hs. I ex pec: to see countries that
are (TOverni-d bj laws and institutions to which
we arcslranirers. and iu respect to which 1 hope ;
we shall always lie S! ranifei s. (Applause.) And :
It was with pleasure that I anticipated the op-
poi t mill is of making a comparison between
i he Inst it u t ions of my own country and of the
condition of tlie people under those institutions
with the institutions of other lands nn l of the
people under those institutions. From KnR
land we derive to it lartrc extent our system of
laws. In France we had a triend in the time of
Ihe Revolution. (Applause.) It was Lafayette
who stood side by side with ficorxe Vahin
ton. (Applause.) From Germany and Ireland
we have a powerful element in our ow n society.
Them countries I hope to see. Hot in advance
I could never hone to see a country whose in
stitutions are to be compared with our own.
lint the value of our institutions depends upon
the care with which the people guard them. If
we a I low our ir.st i tin ions I o iro into chance and
out of the ruarliau care of the juilir meiit mid
will of the people they will non become no
better and perhaps worse tlinii the institutions
of other countries. (Applause.) Ami if you
would allow mo one sinjrle expression of the
duty that devolves upon the people of the
State of Indiana it would be this: That you
and I, without respect to political faith, should
stand by th Constitution and laws and the in
stitutions of the country, and allow no politi
cal scheme whatever to deTcut the purpose of
any one of t lie provisions of the Constitution
of the land. (Applause.)
- I expect to be a'isent about three months.
That will not (rive :ne an opportunity to see
very much of the world, bui it will tie the first
time f liar I have eycr looked upon Htiy sky ex
cept that ir America. It will be the first time
that I h..ve ever looked in foreiirii lands upon
the people iroverneil by their institutions, and
in that respect it is an opportunity that I prize
verv hiirhly. I thank you, my feliow-cilizens,
and I thitiik you ifut ninir to the men on the
staifei lor the expressions of ri-ifarri and esteem
that I l-a e received from you ti-ni(rht. I shall
never lorjret this nitfhr so lonjr as memory
piesidcs in my brain. (Applause and cheers.)
The plucky little principality of Mon
tenegro can show a record as the licht-
weight champion of the. tt-oi Id. It was in
Ihe fifteenth century that a hand of 30.000
Christians, retiring before the wave of Ot
toman invasion that had ovei (lowed all the
rest, of Turkey, pained the mountain
stronghold of Montenegro, which they
have held eer since against the constant
onsets of Turkey. A few facts w ill give
an idea of their struggle. In July. 1712,
12,000 Montenegrin defeated 100.000
Turks, killing 20,000 and losing bin, CIS.
In 1822, 20,000 Turks were defeated by
I, 000 Montenegrins and their General enp
t nved. In 1TGS, with a great army ot 150,
000, the Turks invaded Montenegro, de
termined to crush so pestilent a thorn in
the side of Turkey. They were met by
II, 000 Montenegrins, defeated with the
loss of 25.000, and thoircamp and baggage
captured. To come down to modern
times, in 18TC, July 28, tlie Turks were
defeated with a loss of 4. 0(K), to 70 Monte
negrins. August 14, 20,000 Turks were
defeated by 5,000 Montenegrins, with a
loss of 4.700. September 0, thev killed
3.000 mo:o Turks. October 7, C,000 Mon
tenegrins deflated 18,000 Tmks. The
summing up for the last war was 20,000
Turks to 1,000 Montenegrins.
A spfciat, dispatch from Easton, Fa.,
to the N. Y. World, bearing date June
11th, says that the seventeen year locusts
have appeared in vast numbers in that part
of the Delaware Valley. They were thee
in 18(50, aul a strange circumstance is no
ted w ith their reappearance,. In that year
fish in the Delaware river and its tributa
ries and in the ponds throughout the val
ley died in large numbers, as if attacked
with some fatal epidemic. This year there
is a similar mortality among the fish in the
DHawarM, but no information as to wheth
er it prevails in the mountain waters has
as yet been leceived. The ouestion in
many circles now is, las the seventeen-year
locust anything to do w ith the death of the
fish? Some parties affect to believe that.
the fish die after eating locusts that drop
in tho water, but only one dead fish out of
a large number that have been examined
had any of these in its stomach. The re
con ence of the epidemic i.? probably noth
ing more than a singular coincidence.

A Panama dispatch or June 1Kb says:
lly the arrival of the steamer "Orova" from
Calloa on the 2Sth ult., we have fuller de
tails of the disasters Hift'ered on the coast
from earthquakes and tidal waves. The
towns of Arica, Inquique, Pont a De Lobos,
Phellon, De Pica, Chanavaya, llnanillas,
Tocopilla, Corij., Mejiltones, De Bolivar,
Antafagasta and Chana.l were nearly all
destroyed, and about six bundled lives
lost. The destruction of projierty is esti
mated at $20,000,000, confined mostly to
the coast, although tho town of Tarapaca,
twenty-three leagues inland, and tho vil
lages of Pica, Mat ilia and C'inchones, far in
the interior, were more or less ruined. The
