"Let justice be done, though the heavens should fall." --- CoNoitKss met in ex ra session on Mon day last, when Hon. Samuel J. Randall, v ho had lieen nominated by the Demo riatic caucus on the previous Saturday iiiglit, was elected Speaker by a vote of lia to 182 for Hon. John A.Gaifield, Re publican, of Ohio. As Mr. Randall's suc- ivHS was forshadowed fiom the commcr.ee l ient of the contest for the Speakership, Ma election has created no Furpriso. He was fl:ly entitled to the position and is eminently qualified to discharge its duties. On Tuesday Mr. Hayes sent to both houses i biief message stating the purposes for v hioh the session had boon called. There no leasou whatever why Ihe subject re ferred to in the message could not ue dis ostd of in two weeks, and if that should turn out to be tho fact tho coitntiy will be Krcebly surprised. All the chances, how ever, are against so eaily on adjournment. VnT ninj nity will Cambria county j;iv! Ihe Democratic State ticket?

The above is an extract fioni a letter ! written to us by an ac ive Democrat in tbc tun tliern section i f the couiry. Just At w hat aye a man becomes competent to dis charge the duties of a county office has never been judicially determined, as his fitness depends entiiely on other considerations. man may be too old for an efftcieut discharge of tlie duties of Pi othonotarv. or of any other county office, but lie is ; never ton young if lie is legally eligible.and j possesses the necessary qualifications. Com- petrnry, ?,v not a'je. is the standard by ! which a candidate must stand or fall. The I man to whom our correspondent refers j j would nv be fool enough to assert that (' j Donnell is nnt( for the offii e of Prothono : lary. Any active, intelligent young man j -.vho knows how to handle A re,, W1'0 un- d"istands the purposes of the different ) dockets, and who has a fair knowledge of i the gcnoial run of the business pertaining j to the office, etnnot fail to make ati effi- cient officer. That Charley O'Donncll pos j senses all these requisites will not be qnos l tioned by any one who knows Mm. His j duties as Deputy Sheriff enabled Mm to j acquire an accurate knowledge of tbebtisi j ness required to be performed by a Pro j Ihonotary, and he would not therefore have I to learn it from the beginning. For tMs i reason he is as well if not bet tcr equipped to J day to take charge of the nffieeand correctly j ransact its business than cither of the other i four candidates would be at the end of the first yeai's experience. The other allega tion, that he made a largo amount of money out of the Deputy Sheriffs office, is too silly and ridiculous to require any notice. Whatever salary be was paid was earned by a faithful discharge of his duties and to the satisfaction of the people. Hero is a candidate who is fully com petent and who was nominated by a con ventiun representing the cntiro Democracy of the connfy. He struggled manfully, as he bad a right to do, for the nomination, lu he resorted to no base or dlshororabie means to secure it. The battle was square ly fought and fairly won, and what true Demon at will refuse to sustain the decision of the convention ? No Democrat deserves he name lio withholds his support from a cnmtietent man for an office after be lias been faiily and honorably nominated by a county convention. If Charley O' Donnell hould be defeated now an event, wo do not fear the same fate may overtake some other cndidate next year, and tlie year after that, and then the Democratic party in the county, with its organization des troyed ami its ranks shattered by personal and sectional animosities, will stand naked and helpless before its enemies. There is no safety for a Democrat ontidc of a regular nomination no half-way bouse at which he can afford to stop. Party supre in.icy depends upon fidelity to party oigtin izatiou, and that cat; only bo maintained by supposing nominations honestly and faiily made by a county convention, wh;ch is thf court of final resort in settling the rival claims of candidates for county of lices. i- -m W11.1. Pennsylvania, on the sixth of No vember, repeat the victory of the Ohio Democtacy 011 the ninth of October? All the indications arc that she will. It is plain and prtlpablc that since the inaugura lion of Mr. Hayes as President tho Repub lican party has been slowly but surely un dergoing the process of dissolution, and the result of the election in Ohio is regarded by nine-tenths of the Republican leaders in this State as the unmistakable hat.dwrit ing on the wall which needs no interpreta tion. Rut throwing Democratic confidence and Republican fears aside, success at the November election in this State can only be rendered certain by a vigorous effort, in every district in each county, to eet every voter to the polls. There is no other possi blo plan or device, and if that necessary work is commenced now there can be no doubt about the rcsnb. Will tho Democrats of Cambria from now until Ihe day of the election rork to assist in achieving a victory in the State, or will they remain inacMve and rely upon chance? They themselves must answer this question. In this con nection we publish tho following brier, but stii ring address of Capt. McClelland, Chair man or tho Democratic State Committee: TMlll.Anci.PHlA.

WiUou. . Judge. Trunkey, It is doing but scant justice to the merits of Judge Trunkey, the Democratic candi date for Supieine .Judge, to say that lie is in all lespects the peer of Judge Stenett, ! against whom he is making a friendly cmi ' test for a seat on the Supreme bench. His i judicial experience lias not been so great, j but in intellectual vigor and grasp lie sur passes his competitor. This opinion we have heard, as coming from Republican lawyers of high reputation ami long ser- vice at the bar of Allegheny county. Judge Trunkey has hardly reached the prime of life lie is but. Tor y-eight years ; old and yet he has made a reputation, in 1 his eleven yeats' service on the bench, j second to that oT no Common Pleas Judge j in the State. His decisions have been j models of lucidity and sound law, and they I have more than once received the com men- I da t ion of the Supreme Court. They have j seldom been reversed. His reputation. I wMcii secured his nomination over one of the most distinguished and upright mem bers of the Philadelphia bar, is the sure and solid grow th of his judicial acts. Another point of his character merits no tice. That is Ms indilterence to popular clamor. or those moral ebuluions which ! .: : . r . ! This ws illustrated at the April term, 1S74, iti Venango county, when he was besieged by some three hundred ladies, with a tin- ! morons eHCort and a formidable petition I against grunting any more licenses to sell liquor in Venango county. Judge Trnnkey I showed that clear appreciation of duty 111 his response so characlei isl ic of the man. We copy his words as published in the Franklin Upeetator at the time : ".ludire Trunkey said the LejrisInT ore was the law-miikimr power. If laws are fuel mid im perfect, t he people who ohjeclcd to them hnd their remedy tiy application to their represen tatives in liie I irishitiiic, and their action as voters. The Court was not the place to alter a law. to nullify law, or to make a law. It Is the Court's plce to ascertain "vhat tl.e law ! In rf jrird to license, as well as to ail other matters ' hat come before if. and toapply the law to lh fact ns iriven in evidence. If it was expected that nny demonstration, however laijr -in nutn-lii-rs, or howevi r much it mipht he entitled to individual sympathy and respect, could make the Court depart from Its duty in exeeutitiB the law a. it rounr? it, thone who l.chl such ex pectntions wiuld t-e disappointed. If would, he unseemly in the Court to condemn or take ex ceptions to any law enacted hj- its superior. The remedy airainst a laid law was not here. The Supreme Court had settled the question as to tlie duty of the lower Courts in ihis matter of license. (The .Judjje read the decision of the s!iipreme Court. ?elininr Mieduly of the Court below, and rivinr the h-jrnl definition of the word discretion as used in the license acts.) The discretion to be exercised was not nn ar bitrary power the mere will of the Court hut Judicial discretion, bused upon a kuowl edoervf ft.s, ftr " r consider-. Ion rif all Multi-is connected "M'h the cave. To say there should be no license granted was as wrong-as to say there should be none refused. The Court must hear and determine each case tipe. its own met lis. and whs ready to rccr-ii testi mony ns to 1 he n ppl' cant's fit ties n nder t he law. as to t he character of the house lorwhicii li cense is asked, und as to the necessity contem plated by tlie net of Assembly." The character of Judge Trunkey is strongly illustrated by that calm declara tion, during a time of intense excitement. Jt was unanswerable, and the rule then laid down has governed all his judicial acts. His plain words : "The Court is not the place to alter a law, to notify a law, nor to make law," would be a gotal motto for the walla of every Couit House in the State. Judge Trunkey 's standing at home, among those who know him best, through long years of social and professional inter course, is attested by the fact that he has been twice elected to the Common Pleas bench as a Democratic candidate in Repub lican districts, and of course by Republican votes. In ISOli, during 0110 of the most excited and heated political campaigns in our history it was the year the Republi can! declared war against Piesident John son Mr. Trunkey, Uien a lawyer of large pract ice, was nominated by t he Democratic Convention in the Meicer and Venango districts, and while (Joveriior tieary had a majority in the two counties of l,."i78 he was chosen Judge by a plurality of 1,580. After ten years of judicial service, Judge Trunkey was nominated as his own succes sor in 1870. The jmity lines of a Residen tial campaign secincd to many of his friends too strong to be broken. Yet, again they were ruptured and Venango county, which gave Hayes aniajoiity of 471, elected Judge Turnkey by a majority of 259. ' 3 Nothing can be said to strengthen these endorsements. They como from' Judge Turnkey's political opponents as a free will oflciing to his capacity, integrity and judicial fitness, Out of seven Supreme Judges the Democrats have but two mem bers of the court. It seems to us they will see that the election of Judge Trnnkey is the proper thing to do, to seen ie something approximating a fair representation in the court of last resoit, especially when the opportunity is presented of promoting a gentleman r elevated character, large ex perience and 1 ecognized abilities. The Democrats of Allegheny connty should cer tainly go as far in support of Judge Tiun key as the Republicans of Venango and Meicer did iu ISGG and 1S7G. J'ittsbur'h I'oxt. J Tiik election in France, says the Lan caster Inltdliijenrer, seems to have resulted in a victory for neither side, for although the Republicans have secured a majority of over a hundred in the new assembly, it is not so geat as the majority it held in the one the government dissolved in order to appeal to the people. The adherents of the Marshal in the new body will be forty or fifty more than in the old, so that he has made a great gain by going before the people, and the Republicans have met with a severe loss. In case of their unpleasant arrogance in the new chamber the govern ment may try once more the effect of a new election, under the conviction that the lido in the public mind in Fiance is setting against Republicanism. The Republicans are certainly taught by this lesson that they have not as assured a hold upon the country as they expected. It may well bo very alarming to them to see that their power is decreasing when they sup posed it was growing ; and they will have need of all their wisdom to call a halt iu the down grade they seem to be treading. A domestic event has transpired here, says the Free Orant Gazette, of much inter est to to our secluded community, namely the mariiage of Miss Lambier and Mr. John Vaughan. To get a mari iage license. the bridegroom walked from his place of ! rut 11 re residence, five miles from Beggs- j boro', to Burk's (nine miles). Mr. Burk J not being at home, Vaughan was sent to where he was working, a distance of twen- ! ty-four miles from the residence. Mr ! T....l. . I. : I 1 . .. . I ulna i-ciu, nun uacK r,o tne House for a form, and upon his re urn gave him a It cense, and Vaughan proceeded with it home to tho bride's, eighteen miles further ninety-nine mdes so Tar. Then they went, to the Rev. Mr. Oilmour's, a distance or twelve miles, were there happily united, and ret ui ned home to her house another twelve miles. Total for her 24 miles, and for him l'2:j miles, in the ardent pursuit of matrimony. Needless to say that all this uistanco was travelled 011 foot. Thp.Tcuks Defeated. On Monday last a severe battle tKk place in Asiatic Turkey, - r. :i e i- ,.- - . . B few miles from Kars, resulting in the disastrous defeat of the Turks.

The fact was that at a mcet i iugof the labor commi tee, held in Phila j ddpbia, they declared it expedient, to w itli- draw their State ticket, and a ropy of the following resolutions was sent to Mr. Schell; and it was not until after their reception that he wrote to the committee, publicly withdrawing front the contest. lie contin ued in the fight, heart ami soul with Ihe labor men, until the committee virtually abandoned the ticket.

Thedeath in Peru of Henry Meiggs, whose remarka ble railway work in Chili and Peru have given him a world-wide ceh bi i y, leaves his last and most aalonishiug piece of rail way engineering unfinished. He has built several railways among the Andes rising to an elevation where the air was so raritied that it was difficult to breath it, thrown bridges over gorges t hat made one giddy to look down into their profound depths and excavated tunnels through sj.uts of the mountain ranges wheie greater difficul ties were encountered than in piercing Mount Cenis, An exchange furnishes the following biief sketch of this ictnarkable man : Henry Mei3s was horn nt Cats-kill, Now York, in Isll. He bewail business n a merchant In Host on, but subsequent ly went to New York, where he entered into various enlerpi ises and specular Inn, which in the crash nT I-CS7 lauded him In bankruptcy. Within two years he was atruin In business and npparct.tiy prosperous, but tailed a s. coud time m S17, and soon after bit New Yotk loseek his fort line ill Cn II .'ortiia. Ity bob! enterprises and indomitable energy he soon became wealthy Hitain, but nltiiiiafelv irot 11 (r tin into ilifticul'ies, obtained biriresums of money by misrepresent inif the condition t.r his air.iirs, and In lr'4 was declared n defaulter and a fuirttive Irmii Justice, lie stibscrpti-ntlv compromised with his credito-s. nnd when his fume as a railway contractor in Chili and Peru beenme i stablished, an act of oblivion f r his former olTciiscs was passed by the California LcKir-laf ore, and the wny was open for his re turn. He never went back, however, but con tinued to prosecute his railway enterprises in Peru to the time or his death. His most remarkable achievement is the Cnl lao. Lima and Orova railroad, a work which' must rank amnnir the most Marina achievements if ino-lern c iiKinccricir. It is a successful at tempt to connect the Athint c and Pacific oceans hy n rnilwnv across the Alices, from Callao to the head ot tiavlirnt ion oti the Ama zon. The heieiith ascended by this tailwa ' is within one hundred and thirty six feet of that of the summit of Mt. lilann. The road bends upon itseir with sharp antrlcs ns it aseendsthe mountain sides, like a staircase with many turns. It pierces I lie obstruct inn; peaks with thirty-two tunnels, which oTten ome loR-ether so closely that they seem continuous lo tho traveller, (ireat itorircs had to be traversed, nnd torrent streams spanned by bridges that seem to hanjf in mid air. The uieater portion of tlie work is completed nnd la riiunlnif fr der, trains now Koinir to the highest points on schedule time. Hut the irnri-rmnent of Peru has latterly run idiort of film s, nnd the irreat contractor was consequently Impeded by his own fluaticial troubles. Si:i.F-SAcniFiciN(i IIruoism. Two New York gaslnteis, named Charles V. Spiague and John Farrell, performed an act of self sacrificing heroism on Saturday which ought to make their names remembered. While a mantince peiformaucu was going on iu the Grand Opera House, attended by several hundred people, they were at wotk in the basement making new connect ions between the street main and tlie gaspipes of the theatre building. They had cnt out a piece from the old connecting pipe, and had plugged up the two openings thus made. Having tried one of the plugs with a lighted march and found it tight, Farrell lit another match and held it to the second plug. This happened to be badly fitted ; the escaping gas ignited and a tenible ex plosion followed, forcing out the plug, knocking Farrell back seveial feet and fill ing the place with flame. As soon as he recovered from the shock, Farrell, with singular presence, of mind, picked up his coat, made his way through tlie Haines and wrapped the garmnt about the open pipe to smother the iirn and lessen the fl OW fit R-"s- He stood at the pipe until the gas was n'ff although the fiie was all tins time leiing the flesh off his bauds, neck, face H,,d head. A policeman who happened to be standing on the iron and glass covering of the basement at the time llf tllM l-Ttktiiifiiin 1 ... t had his attention called lo tha trouble li. I low by seveial pieces of the glass being fofcfcd out of the pavement by the concus sion. Summoning help, he went down, 1 turned off the gas, and aided in putting out ; the flames.

A Long Wait 101: a Wkimunl Orango county has just had a wedding with enough romance about it lor a novel. In lbt!2 the bridegroom, then a young man, though under an engagement lo the lady whom he has just inatlRd, enlisted in the Union Army. Ilis sweetheait made no t-fToit to dissuade him from what he thought his duty, and with a breaking heart she bade him alieu, and quietly buried herself in her home with her widowed mother, the only living member of the family beside herself. For a while all went well, and loving letters from bis sweetheait cheered the gallant soldier, and tender winds of hope from him made life endurable to her. After the battle of Chancellorsvillo his let ters suddenly ceased. Letter after letter was written to him nnd his comrades, but all that could be learned was that aftei"' hat terrible battle he was missng. Whether be had been killed or taken prisoner no one could tell, and bis fate remained a mysfeiy. His stricken sweetheart nver entirely abandoned ho-, and lived on, "tender and true," hoping against e for his return. After many patient yearn her troth has been rewarded, and she is now a happy jride. His narrative is that some time dm ing the tight be w as taken prisoner, and soon after be was sent, to n Southern prison, wheie he was kept about a year, sntfeiing untold torture. He finally es caped and reached the sea boa id, where ho conceived the idea of persona'.ing an Eng lish sailor and getting to England 011 a blockade runner. After that all is a blank. He learned afterward that he had been taken ill, and soon after insane. On his arrival in England be was taken an in sane asylum by the captain of the blockade runner, where heiemaiued until a year ago, when he was discharged cured, but penni less. He succeeded by tlie assistance of friends in the asylum in sccui ing a siluat ion I ; 111 a meicautile house, where he rapidly- won the esteem of the principals, to whom be told his story. A leave of absence was granted hi:n, he came to Middletown and found bis old sweetheait, now a tnatuie lady of thiity two, still faithful to his memo ry. They wete quiet ly man ied, and have lelurncd to England, wheie lie proposes to remain for a tenn of yeais. During his long absence his only surviving relatives, a brother and uncle, had died, and he had no ties to keep him here, savo the love of country, which will eventually bring him am! his faithful wife back lo our shores. Albany Argvt. Tiik WoxDr.nrcf. D.o of Cohoks. Morrison, Colwell tfc Page have in connec tion w it Ii their rolling-mill at Cohoes a large stable for their huge stock of horses.

This practice was kept up until on an unlucky inght, some tunc ago, when he. attempted lo drive a vicious mule into his stall from which lie had escaped, when the animal lei fly with both hind feet, one of which took ell-ct on the jor dog's head, knocking out a number of teeth and cutting his Lice badly. Since that tunc the know ing dog has not attempted to drive back any of his equine charge that may become loose, but sliaigbtway goes for the watch man 011 guaid. A 01. n tiu.e some loose straw and hay lying in the rear of and against the barn by some means caught tire. When discovered the fai hful dog was nt his post, and standing in tire and smoke was scratching away with all his might, removing the burning mass f-om the build ing and baiking lustily for aid. Although the dog was buined somewhat, the build ing, mainly through his cffotls, was saved.

About 10 o'clock Sunday night as John Con ley, the night wntchmaii at the liatilo House, was making his usual rounds of inspect 1011, while in the rear of the building ho heard a noise iu the vard. On his way to see what it was his foot slipped on the smooth bias.s snips with which the stairs are faced and he plunged over the balusteis grasping nt tha lop rail, and turned a complete somersault, Ho llands slipped fiom the tail but fastened w ith a despera'.e grip on the end of one of the steps which projected only an inch or two. It was a fcai ful position. His back was to the stairs, his bauds over bis head and his head under the stairs, and far be low him the stone-paved yaid. He called for help lustily, and the noiso was heaid at the office by some gentlemen standing there, who rcmaiked that there must be a fight in the street. The housckeenu heard his cries and went to his assistance, but was not able to relieve him, but added her cries to his. The noise was heard below, and several persons rushed to see what was the matter. One of the night cleiks came rushing up with a Babcock strapped on his back. Mr. Soto leaned over, and, putting his baud through tho stair-rails, took firm hold of Conley's wrist, and en couraged bjm to hold on, that it was all tight, and they would save him. One of the other gentlemen goi hold of Conley's coat, and raised him so his leg could be got hold of, w hen they succeeded iu draw ing him safely on to the stairs. His strength was nearly exhausted, and his en durance would have Iteetibmited to seconds. It was a narrow escatw and a .inicly ddiv e ran ce. Mobile Hey inter. How to Thkat the Indians. One of the curious revelations recently made con tradicts an established lielief a"nd deserves to and must hae indu-nce upon our treat ment of the Indian problem, that, surviv ing its slave and Moinion successors, is again in tho Trout. Lieut. Col. Warrick Mallery has wrought out an elaborate de monstration that the vanishing Indians have began to multiply; thai in spite of fire water and diminishing buffalo and invad ing pale faces there are more of them than there were twenty years ago. If this is stV the treatment that was suited to a disatv. pearing people must be discarded, and one adapted to a growing race substituted. Ihis conduct would require permanent reservations, higher education, a modifica tion of tribal Uw and industrial training. And such a treatment, supposing the In dians iivted for it, would soon change the nature and distribution of their appropria tions. We must then caloula e 011 preserv ing our aborigines and incorporating them in our population, s Fathers Marquette, Hennepin and many other black robes counselled yea:s ajfo.
