At a late meeting; of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Allegbeny;eonnty, next Tuesday wan fixed as the time for hold tag Iba eounfy convention to elect delegates to ih9 Democratic State couvention. From Le remarks made by several members of tbe committee, it can be tta'.ed, in advance, that the delegates will present a solid front in favor of tbe nomination of Hon. James H. Hopkins, of Pittsburgh, for Governor. He l a gentleman of ability, a consistent and haid-working Demueiat, and retired from Congrewi on the 4ih of Mai eh last, In which be faithfully represented far a single term on of the two strong Republican dis tricts of Allegheny eonuty. We take plea sure n naying this mnch about Blr. ilop kt, and if nil the other prospective can didate were as competent as he Is admitted to be, there would not bo mnch danger of an unfit nomination beirijr made. 1 be qualification of the candidates should bo freely and openly discussed before the meeting of the convention, m that In the event of the Democracy being successful at tho election neilher they nor the people of tbe Stale will have any caue to be ashamed of tbe result. Is a recent sermon Henry Ward Beecher boldly avowed Lis uibolitf in the existence of hell. The same docti Ine has lately been poached in England Ly Dr. Farrar, a dis tinguished clcrgjman of the Established CLoieh, which Las caused a t.ist deal of ex citement in that country. A very short time Lefvjie Detcuei's now departnre, Dr. P..rter, Piesideutof Yale College, and Dr. Hopkins, ex-President of Williams College, the two foremost Congregational Boats of learning in this countiy, in a council held at North Adams. Mass., warmly espoused the same docti ine. If it had been known that Beecher repudiated the existence of a bell his testimony would have been ex eluded on bis trial for ndultery, and the pulpic of Plymouth church would not have known bim for a considerable length of time. His Is the plainest case of a man whose Mwuh is father to his thought." It is a most comfortable belief, and the worst lc meets of society would no doubt like to are tbe dreaded place abolished. If Ueecher could bring the woild to his happy way of viewing the matter, what a high carnival of crime would be inaugurated, to be fol lowed by the building or another ark, tke electiou of another Noah, if one could be found, aud after that a second deluge. TtorjEKT Smalls, the colored member of Congress from tbe Fifdr South Carolina district, baa manifested a devotion to the interests of bis constituent which is worthy of all praise. Smalls bore a good character, but iu lu evil hour during the high old tiroes of reconduction be sought e Mice, and fiom liT8 until be was elected in Congress was a member of the South Carolina Legislature. While he was in the State Senate be fell from grace by ac cepting a bribe of $5,000 for bis vote in favor of a certain bill, for which offense be was indicted and convicted about a mouth ago, and sentenced to three years' impris onment iu the peuitentinry. A motion re lating to the case was mado by bis counsel, and be was permitted to enter bail for bis appearance on the day appointed by tbe Court for its argument. Sm tils' gn.lt was made so plain on bis tiial as to preclude any hope that the sentence will not be ex. rented. The penitentiary, however, has us terrors for him, for only a few days be fore tbe reecss of Congress he quietly ap peared in the House and took his seat as though nothing unusual had befallen him. Smalls enjoys the proud distinction of be ing the first member of Congress who, whiU a sentence of three yeais iu the pen itential i suspended over bim, patrioti cally assist in making laws for ihe govern ment of the people of lbs in.xlel K pub-lie.

About ten days ago, however, be opened his month to a Republican club in Boston, and iu bis undress had the heroic impu dence to say that between tben and the fliBt of February Mr. Hayes mu6i decide whether be would be the President of the I Republic in party, or go clean over to the f IK o-.ocraey. We Lave uo doubt tbat Cut ler is politically miserable and unhappy nnder the changed condition of things at Washington, and tbat it is bard for him to realise tbat Giant does not occupy the White Hotiso with a Iwo-thiids majority in Congress obedient to his stubborn w ill. Butler is in the anvj pitiable pliuht as John A. Logan, who lately confessed, with a sad heart, tbat bis influence with Mr, Hayes and bis administration did not j amount to a row of pine. Logan could not have paid Hayes a higher compliment. It is a most happy deliverance for the countiy that the counsels of the Logans and But lers, and men of their stamp, have ceased to have any iuflueuce at the White House, Butler's oppoeiiiou to Hayes of course grows out of tho Southern policy of the latter. Under its wholesome operation, w Inch was simply adopting the long avowed purpose of the Democratic party, profound peace prevails throgLout the South, and all classes of society ate working harmonious ly and prosperously. Tbat is tbe very con dition of a i!aii s which malcontents like BuUcr do net want to see, and which they did not anticipate when they supported Mi. HayT$ for the Presidency. It is or no consequence, however, what Butler may thiuk or say about Hayes and his treatmeut of the South a long as the country applauds and endorses it. That Mr. Hayes will con tinue in the same patriotic eoutse be has been pursuing in defiance of the loud threats of the radical wing of the Republi can party is not to be doubted. He could not change or reverse Lis policy even if be desired to do so, which be clearly does not. The firt of February, the limit allowed by Butler to Hayes for a change of base, is rapidly approaching, and after it has passed Butler will find that no back step will be Utken, but that Mr. Hayes will rigidly ad here to bis Southern policy because it is right, has brought forth the most satisfsc toty results, and is sustained by fair-minded people throughout the whole country. Beecher os (not is) Hell. The fol lowing extract ftom Henry Ward Beecher' s late ecrmou on Lcll, to which editorial re ference is made elsewhere, w ill enable oar readers to understand the views entertained by that shining light of Plymouth church on so vital and interesting a question : "II wan nlso itniit that Adam slnnnd. sn1 thst In !inseQurneo of that sin the whle human race fell.

Tim doctrine is too horrible. I cannot belbive it and I won't.

Would she not be shocked? And so with this iloct rine ; and by the blood of Christ 1 denounce it ; by the wounds in His hands and His side, abhor It ; by His groans and agony, I abhor and denounce It as the moat hideous nightmure of theology." Shortly after the fall of Plevna, the Emperor or Ilussia went to3t. Petersburg!!, where he was received with the most ex travagant rejoicing by the people. He ptoinised the army that he would return to it in about a month. Heavy snow storms and intensely cold weather iu Bulgaria have rendered army movements impossible, and the ptesent campaign may be regarded as at an end. Many thousands of army horses and several hundred Turkish pris" oners have been rrozen to death. The pon toon bridges across the Danube have been swept away by the floating ice, with the f xceptioti r two, which have been taken up to prevent their destruction. The Rus sian army is consoqnently in a very pre carious position, as its supplies or food for the men and forage for tho horses are on the northern bank of the tiver, and cannot be transposed across it in the absence of bridges until it freezes over. As tbe army cannot go to where the provisions are, nor the provisions be conveyed to the army, i;s petilouB situation can readily be compre hended. Tho Sultan of Turkey, at the close of last week, addressed a note to the British government, asking it to ascertain from Russia upon what terms peace could be effee ed, and Russia lias replied that I Turkey niust first apply to tbe Russian ! oommandoi-s-in chief in Bulgaria and Ar j menia for an armistice, which w ill be grant ' ed. If affair should assume this shape. j the pen will take the place of the swoid. and t.!i war may be terminated by peaceful negotiation before tbe opening of spring.

The superiority of the former as a fighting soldier has gen erally been conceded, but the superiority or the the latter in strategy is beginning to bo acknowledged and, as a consequence, the righteousness of bis quarrel with the ad ministration which recalled him from Rich mond and insisted upon a ditect advance from Washington, These are thenr.es which now have chiefly a historical interest, but a statement in some "Reminiscences of the Civil War," contributed by Gen. Richard Taylor, one of the foremost of the Confed erate commsndets, to the current number rtf tb Xnrth American Rctt'&io revives them f si if li thn inc.intation of a wizard. It puts them also, we are sorry to say, in a new and most painful light. Everybody knew that either the administration or its chosen general had blundeied in that un fortunate campaign of the Wilderness, but few have supposed that the responsibility of either wont any further. General Taylor now clears the military reputation of Grant by an assertion which involves the adminis tration in downright crime. He states that the overland campaign was adopted in the facce of Grant's explicit declaration that it would involve the sacritlce.of 100,000 moie human lives. These are his words : "After the battle of Chickamanga In ISM. fjen. tirnnt was promoted to the command of the armies of tho United States and called to Washington. In a conference t the wnr oftlco l.f.ween him. 1'ie-iident IVn:;oln nnd Secretary Stnntor, the approaching campaign in Viririnia whs discussed.

The men were promised. Grant accepted the government plan of campaign and was supported to the end. The above came to me well authenticated aud I have no doubt Cf its correctness." This is certainly a horrible story. The immolation of 100,000 men to avoid a con fession of error on the part or an adminis tration matches anything in the annals or the mo6t despotic governments on earth. To believe that the long ntrony which the nation endured in 1P04 was borne to make good the blunders of civilians involves so mnch that is revolting that nothing but the reputation of the soldier who vouches for the tale could make us entertain it. Gen eral Taylor expressly and significantly says that it came to him on good authority. No authority for snch an accusation can be good which is less than that of one of the men directly concerned. President Lincoln was dead before Gen. Taylor came North after the war. Edwin M. Stantoo was jtrobably capable of the atrocious calcula tion charged, but he is not likely ever to have had an opportunity of cotamnnicating it; to Gen. Taylor. There remains, there fore, but one source from which it could have reached General Taylor. This con sideration will make our readers shudder with ns at the probability of Its troth. JV. r. World. A QcATtrtTMAs's Romakce. Not long ago a man, whose Anglicized name was Peter Taylor, fell from a derrick at the Al landale quarries, in Canaan, Conn., and was killed. He was meieiy a luboior in a stone quarry, and received n. more than usual mention incident to such nccidonts in the local papers. But for all that a 10 mance belonged to his life, more sad per haps than unusual, jet still not without in terest. Many remember how a quarter of a century or more ago the dashing and mag netic Hungarian rebel, Louis Kossuth, came to this country, and how tens of thousands of Americana, sympathizing with the spirit of fieedom and lesistance to tyranny which he presented, not only gave I'im a welcome, but invested in Kos suth bonds, and scorned to ask security. Many others, also, sought these bospi.able shores about the same time, having tied from tbe wrath of angry governments. They wore the black bats and feathers which became the grand rage, and sported the splendid military mustaches that were the envy of tbe young Americans. Among these exiled fellows of the unfortunate chief was Peter Taylor, yonng and hand some, but reserved and sensitive. Tbe ad verse result of this fight for liberty had crushed bis prospects forever. His ambi tion did not thrive in a strange land. There came a time when be might have re turned to Hungary, but It was worse to go than to stay. His nearest friends were dead. The lady whom ho would have married had he returned to bis home with a conquering army was either dead or had married another, and so he remained where he had first found himself after securing an asylum in this countiy. With few friends, and perhaps fewer enemies, he had liver! a patient lire, and in his dalh was hardiy to be pitied, for fortune had been his enemy, and now at least she can no longer quarrel with Lim. The Cask of Biiidoet. It is a pity that Mrs. Jane G. Swisnbelm cannot, be taught a lesson of moderation ud Christian charity by the UniUd Prcby&fian, which publishes a three column article of the mostciuel and unjust abuse of the domestic Bridget," who is so sinful as to bo an Irish woman aud belong to a different church from that which Mrs. Swisshelm honors with her presence. One would im agine tbat a religions newspaper would know better than allow itself to be made the vehicle or the ill-natured phlllipic of a scribbling scold. Among the charges which this Christian lady brings against the poor servant girl is that "she steals more than her w ages," and straightway gets absolu tion by dividing her plunder with her spiritual adviser. This is a cruel falsehood, bitting Bridget and the Church at the same lime. A New York lady, who keeps a large establishment, told the writer, who, on one occasion, expiessed astonishment ! that she, who was not a Catholic, should always insist on having Irish Catholic servants, that she did so because it wa a , guarantee for their good behavior. "Too . often," she said, "one cannot appeal to tho intellieenre of servants, and I find tbat the Roman Catholic Church acts upon my girls ' as a moral police. Many servants are given to pilfering, but I never knew a s endy church going Catholic girl who was dishonest." Wahinyton tZ). C.) Pout.

A Ponca Indian, while engaged in tho chase a few days ago, was the victim of a singular aud fatal accident. He was rid ing at full speed through a grove of trees, when his neck became suddenly caught between the forked branches of a tree, and, his horse keeping on its course, he hung suspended, like Absalom or Moham med's coftin, between heaven and eaith. 1 1 is comrades soon after found him, but not un il he had choked to death, aud S) they left him hanging up as bo was, end thriftily saved his funeral expenses. A singular and romantic piece of good luck has befallen a poor young man, aged eighteen, named August Kohleuiaon, a bill clerk in the wholesale drug house of Greens felder Brothers, in St. Louis, working for three dollars per week. Four days ago be received advices from San Francisco that a bachelor uncle, named H. Kohlemann, of whose existence tbe youth knew nothing, bad died leaving him a fortune of $300,000. Young Kohlemann was incredulous, but upon inquiry be learned that the news of his good fortune was true, and be left by tbe next train to take possession of tbe wealth left him. Great excitement prevails in Washing ton, D, C. since Saturday, owing to a terrible outrage jkm pettated upon a young lady in the eastern part of the city on that day. A movement is on foot for the or ganization of a vigilance committee to pa trol the streets. Two negroes were arrest ed on suspicion, aud but for the strong pro tests of the police tbe crowd would have taken the matter in their own hands and summary punishment would havo been visited upon at least one of them then and there. A largely attended indignatiod meet ing was held ou Saturday evening. Tbe K.

Anew invention has been perfected in Paris that of glass printing type. This kind of type is made out of hardened glass, and is an bard as lead. They l;Kt longer than the matallic ; are not liable t be crushed by the printing cylinder ; they do not suffer in the least from sudden cooling in stereotyping, and they do not injure tbe health in handling, as lead types do. In this respect they have great advantage. The atmosphere in printing olBces is im pregnated with panicles of lead, aud chronic lead poisoning is one f the com plaints of type-setters. All this isobviated by the new invention, which has the merit also of being niucu cheaper. At Eden burg, Clarion county, a shuck ing accident occurred a few evenings ago. Henry Grinager left bis home and went down town to make some purchases, leav ing his wife alone with their childieu Hairy, aged five, and Annie, agtd three. Mis. Grinager had been doing some tTon ing and had a hot fire in the stove. When this was done she tiudrrssed thechildreu and put them to bed in an adjoining room, where they weie asleep. She extinguish ed the lamp, closed the 6tove and went to a ncigLbor's houxe, about seventy feet away. Five minutes later tbe ptetnises wete discovered in flames. But it was too late for assistance. Tho whole house was consumed. Nothing but ciispbutned trunks remained of the children. . The horrors of war have been often desciibed, but the following from a corres pondent at Plevna will bear repealing : He says that when the Turks made their sortie they left a thousand pick and wound ed starving and unattended. Thee un fortunates remained in this Mate three days nnd hundreds of them died. Over a thousand have been alieady bmiod, and about a hundred corpses come from tho hospital daily. Undoubtedly many who vere not quite dead have been buried. Those killed in battle wete unburied. Turkish piisoners are encamped among them and are almost starving.

Patrick Quinti, convicted of wife mnr der, November I7th, was sentenced, at Pottsville, on Monday, to eleven years and six mouths in the Eastern Penitentiary. He made a statement giving bis version of the killing, and said be labored under an apprehension that the Mollies were break ing into the bouse to kill him, and be rush ed from bed for a gun which stood in the coiner, and tired down the stairway. He heard more noise, and, believing a rush was being made at the door, bo took bis pistol out of a drawer and fi:ed again. It then dawned upon him that he had shot his wife, and he dressed and went for the priest and a doctor, lie insisted on his in nocence, but the Coutt took no stock in his story, and he was sentenced to within six months of the maximum punishment. In the little manufacturing village of Queechy, Yt., a new bieed of cats have made their appearance. Several old fami ly cats, ail of them quite ngtd, gave birth to litteiat of kittens of a very peculiar ap pearance. They were long haired, with large legs nd long claws and very heavy tails. One specimen in each litter was raised, so as to see this freak of nature iu matmity. At sir months of age they are verylaige. Some of them nre striped like a lion, others aie quite blaek. The fur is fiom three to six inches in length all over the body; a tuft of long hair rims the ears. Tbe head is like that of any cat. ex cept the eyes of all of them have a wild or scared !ook. At the neck the fur stands out like a wide mm, the tail is covered w ith long fur and would measure, perhaps, six inches in circumference. All of them are very active, and will spring from the floor to the top or a room eight or nine feet high with perfect ease. When frightened, they are disposed to turn and show fight, aud they will not permit much petting. A New V fusion or an Oi,n Story.
