In 1864 George B. McClellan wa tbe
Democratic candidate for President and
George II. Pendleton for Vice President.
On Tuesday last General McClellan was in
augurated Governor of New Jersey at
Trenton, and on tbe name day, at Columbus,
George II. Pendleton was elected to tbe
Voited StateB Senate by tbe Legislature of
Ohio. Thisis rather a rematkalie coinci
dence. O.i the discussion of a motion made in
the U. 8. Semite last week, but which was

females to Appear on tbe floor of the Senate

ameudment to the constitution conferiing
on women the right of snffiagc, Mr. Thnr

' Geo RGB II. Pkk d 1. eton was elected u
Tuesday of last wetk by the Democrats of
tieO'-io Legislature to the United States
Senate, as the successor of Stanley Mat- j
thews, whoea term will expire on tbe 4th
t.f March, 1879. Tbe conUft, which was a '
triangnlar oue between Mr. Pendleton,
Gen. Thomas Ewing, and General Geoige
"W. Morgan, was warmly fought by their
respective fticr.ds, and resulted in Mr.
.Pendleton's uomiuHtion on the third ballot,
lie is so prominent a member of tbe Dem
reiatie party, and is so well known through
out the country, that it is quite unnecessa
ry to refer at length to bis merit and bis
peculiar qualifications for tbe high position.
His ability is unquestioned, and his services
to the Democracy of Ohio in sunshine and
in storm placed them under great obliga
tions to bim. As a Senator he will oecnpy
a place in the fuiemost rank, and no State
in the Union will be moie ably represented
in tbat body than Ohio with Allen G. Thur
man and Gecrge II. Pendleton.
TstTatklsh Minister of Foieign Affairs,
accompanied by another high officer of the
government, left Constantinople on Tues
day last for Kezanbk to meet tbe Grand
Puke Nicholas, of Russia, and commence
negotiations for peace between the two
countries. Kezaulik, where the conference
is to be held, is a town in Roumelia, at the
f ot of the Balkan mountains on their
nitbern slope. All military operations
will of couise be suspended uu til the result
t)f tho negotiations is known, which will
probably not be for some time to come.
The Bri ish PaiTameiit reassembled jester
day, and it is said in London that the
views of the English government on the
question of tbe proposed treaty of peace
will be declared in a few days. Since the
fall of Plevna one disaster after another
lias befallen the Turkish army. Sophia,
a uth cf tbe Balkans, fell into the posses
sion of a body of Russian cavalry without
auy resistance, and the entire Turkish ar
any, about 25,000 men, tbat was defending
tbe oelebrated Scbipka Pass, was captured
by tho Russians afier a short engagement.
TVith Turkey, therefore, peace has become
a matter of absolute necessity, even though
Bugland may protest against some of its
terms.

Tiir action of the Republican Stare con- i
vention of New Hampshire last week was '
complete victory for Mr. Hayes and bis (
Southern policy, and a signal defeat for the j
radical wing of the party that Still tights
under the banner of the bloody shirt. Tbiee
or four weeks ago William K. Chandler, of
tbat State, a restless political demaggne ;
and tho mere shadow of Blaine, addressed
a lengthy letter to the Republicans of tbe !
State in which he bitteily denounced Hayes I
aud his administration, and reviewed with !
much detail the alleged bargain, or agree
ment, made last February between Mr.
Hayes' personal representatives from Ohio,
Stanley Matthews, John Sherman and Chas.
Foster, on tbe one side, and certain Demo
cratic members f Congress from the South
on the other, by which it was arranged
that the count of the electoral vote should
be completed, which would result in de
claring Hayes electtd, and that if this was
done Hayes would withdraw the troops
from xew Orleans and Columbia and per
mit tho tottering governments of Packaid
aud ChambeiUiu to full from their own inr
Lerent weakness. Chandler's sublime im
pedence will be properly appreciated when
it is stated that he was one of the conspir
ators who, with Bub Mackey, of this State,
and others of the same stripe, went down
t Tallahassee immediately after the Presi
dential election, and through their corrupt
operations with McLit), a negro, aud Cow
gill, a white man, the two foiuiing a ma-
ioiitv of the Returning Board, cheated i
j
Tildcu out of the vote of Florida and de
clared it for Hayes. In bis letter Chandler
was very careful not to sr.y anything about
the part be himself played in this infamous
business, as a rewaid for which be asked
liases to appoint hint Minister to Spain.
His demand was not complied with and
hence his letter, which was intended to ar
ray the Republican party in bvs own Slate
against tbe Southern policy of the adminis
tration, and revive the spirit of sectional
hate in the rauks of Northern Republican
ism. The letter and its author Trere both
treated with contempt by the State con
vention Governor Piescott, a warm Hayes
man, was renominated a resolution square
ly et.iloising the pacific couise of Hajes
towards the South was adopted, and Chand
ler was branded by one of the delegates iu
a speech as "a political tramp." This
ought to be the last appearance of Chandler
on the political stage, aud be a warning to
him and all others like bim that if theie is
any one thing that the people of the whole
country desire more than another, and are
determined to have, it is peace, with all
its unnumbered blessings, between tbe
North and the South, and tbat any man,
no matter Itow high may be bis position,
who undertakes to iuauguiate an era of
stiife and discord Letwcen tie two sec
tions, will bo overwhelmed by the inesisti
ble power of public opinion.
If S1M05 Camep.ok, bis son Don, and
lhlr poli'cal retainers throughout the Ftate,
have quietly decided, as it is reported they
have done, that Henry M. Hoyt, of Luzerne
county, shall be the Republican candidate
for Governor, all the other fifteen or twenty
patiiots, each one of whom supposed ibat
the honor was specially reserved for him
self, may as well prepare their letters of
declination and put on the Cameron collar.
In the approaching political contest in this
State tbe Cameron clan has but one su
preme object in view, to accomplish which
it will exert all its energies and resort to all
if s piculiar appliances, and that object is
the le-eltctiou of Don to the United States
Senate. Their objective point will be 'the
Legislature, and in order to make that a
sure thing, every other eonsideiation wil1
I be made to bend, or be brushed aside. If
! United States Senators were elected by a
diiect vote of the people, Don Cameion
would be defeated by a majority of more
than fifty thousand, while under the pres
ent infamous apportionment bill a Leg is-,
latin e may be returnedthat will send him
back to the Senate, where he has not yet
and never will give any evidence of his
fitness for the place. Luzerne county will
elect one of the two Senatrrs and all of tbe
nine Representatives to which she is en.
titled at the next election. Once a reliable
Democratic county, it is now essentially
rotten and demoralized, aud opens up an
inviting field for tbe political debaucheries
of Cameronism. Henee the proposed nomi
nation of Hoyt, cue of its citizens, and
then an effort to form a coalition on a cor
rupt basis with the Greenback-Labor party,
which at the last election swept the couuty.
The priee is ten votes for Cameron, Can
he win ilP We will see.

Hartford, Jan. 16, 1878. The railroad
accident at Tai iiTville occurred at the Tres
tle Bridge crossing, Farmington River,
just west of the village. The train was
bound for Willerton, and cariied passen
gers for all stations between this city and

Special trains from "Winsted and Hart
ford, bearing surgeons, reached the scene
at 1 0 a. m.
Fac.ory and church bells weie rnng ami
the citizens rallied, doing all that was pos
sible. The bodies were taken 011 planks or
rude sleds across the ice to the Tai ilVvillo
side. The wounded and dead were mostly
put on a Hartford special and sere h ft at
Tarift'viHe and Haitforrl, aud the train took
the rest ronnd by Plainville on the Fi&bkill
tfe Canal loads to New ILutford 011 the
western roads.
Woik at the wreck of the Connecticut
western train, at Tariffville, f tiil continues.
The relief train has just returned to this

George H. Palch, one of the engineers,
died this morning- Several of the dead
were cut and bruised, but most, of them
were di owned or were suffocated by the
steam, caused by the heateis id the. cars.
The Railroad Commissioners examined
the bridge two months ago, and pronounc
ed it safe. They will hold an investigation
at once.
The following article from the Pittsburgh
Pott will be endorsed by every Democrat.
1 hat Uayes was not elected by the people
is the accepted and intelligent judgment
of the country, but the difficulty is that
theie is no ti ibuual before which the fact
could bo legally established. The Poet
says :
Men of 'all shade of politics may honestly
differ na to t he mcst expedient and most ad vls
atile course to lie put sued toward a President
notoriously placed in office Miroujrh fraud.
Whether Mr. Tildenor Mr. Hayes had beon

Commission, the whole proceeding whs new In
our h istory. and iinknon n to t he Constitution.
If re!nrded n hm Hceoinpuidiiient of, or an a
ni'oesfMty caused by popular revolution, it
miviht be defended, as '1 h.idieus 8teens do
ri ndi d Republican uneoiistitut ional hois of

OCCHU8C they were expedient, and helped the 1

Senate of the UnitM Suite, th KepubllcHn

revolution ; the overt act of which was to tip
the proclamiition, by Mr. Ferry, then President
of ihe Gentile, iti the fce of contrary facta,
thnt K. It. Hayes had been eh clod President.
The civil nt showed, m moiiirst other thing's,
thnt the people of tho United iStnt.-s me not
cowards; and that they can mid will fixhi for
their tiirhts. It ennnot therefore be denied
that there was a sreat danger starinp the coun
try in the face, when the Uu-clotal Coiiiimism.xi
wa created by Con ress. The point .l points,
and the real, solid, historical fact, which the
citizens ot the I'nited Mutes muwt never lorjret,
nd which, robed In truth, munt be handed
down to all future sreiicraliot b of Americans,
Is, that the Hepiiblic-nn party, through their
lendei-B. wi:o should tir forevr held itilnmous,
deliberately planned thst intended revolution
and senatorial us jrpntion, and otdered the
army ol tbe whole Union to the city of Wash
ington, for the purpose of heii.fr used to sustain
it. The popu'ar brunch of t'oi.jrress naturally
shrank from I he responsibility ol n. nuum'n '.in
such a bloody revolution as then seemed inev
itable, it is now tix laf, and it would be use
less to discus the individual conduct of the
members or the House at that critical period.
The country and the civilissed world know the
hinting pr.lnt of the whole matter; which in.
that Mr. 3'ilden was du ly elected, and that he
was t heated out of his oltice.
What remains now ia tn a nut shell. The
lanre mcjority or the people never will, nnd
they never should, rest contented under the
political control of a President whom they t'id
not elect, if it is possible to riabt t hemse! ves
without a resort to revolution. Ir It can tie

Onetta terminated a moat tetnai kable life
for longevity, being one bundled and nine

in the United Stales. The incidents of so
rem u kubly long an experience 111 thia vile
world can but bo of interest.
Sho was bom January 10, 1TC9. You
will better arineciat this walenient when
you consider that she was twenty yeais old
when Geoige Washington was inaugurated j
first President of tbe United Slate, nnd j
was old enough to have taken cognizance
or all the events of tbe siniggle for i.Kle-
oendence. S!:e w.s a contemporary ot ;a
Dolc.iii and H elliuu ton. icea-eil was a
native t.f Italy, having tuigra'.ed to this
country in 1843.
At the age of twenty years she was mar
ried to Podesta, by whom she had eight
children, four boys and four gills. All the
children, save one, are still iu the old coun
try. The youngest child, John Podesta,
who is now in hia rifty-tirst year, is the
proprietor of a beer saloon at No. 427 Main
street. This son, w hen quite a youth, came
to this couuliy, and during the gold ex
citement of IS 47 went to California toeek
his fortune. He was but moderately suc
cessful, and a few years Ultr made bis
home iu this ci'y.
Before she cittne to America her hus
band, Podesta, had died. Af:er wander
ing for Boino months from place to place in
this countiy, bhe finally joined her sou iu
this city.
A few years after coming here, and in the
eighty-sixth year of her age, she was mar
lied a second time to one Unetta, a wander
ing musician, who died some yeate ago,
since which time bbe has lived with ber son
John.
She was in possession of all ber mental

(?EMU3 on A Tiump. A wondeiftil
piano player with a romantic history is ex
citing the. musicians of liriilgep.irr. About
two weeks ago a shabby tramp enteud a
well-known music stoie on Main street, and
asked pei mission 'o use a piano for a short
time. The pi opt ietor refused at tiist, but
afterwaid.s consented because the man's
manners were much bet ter t ban his cloi lies.
The tramp sat down and played a difficult
coiiipr.sii ion with great ease and brilhatvcy.
The pity and contempt of his listeners we: e
at once changed to admiration. Pi ieods
sprang up aiouiul him, and they ate tijing
to get him once moie on his feet. His his
tory, as told by the Parmer, is as follow:
He belongs to a titled Gelii::ui f.tmily, atid
had for hia gdmother and pttroness mo
less a personage than the Queen of Wfcr
tenihuig. II received a university educa-
I
! tion and became a lawyer. He was at one
( time Consul to Paris from Wurteniburg,
; and nioven in the highest circles of the
capital when Napoleon and Eugenie were
outhe throne. Tho cause of his fall from
all this high estate was dissipation of the
wildest kind. As a result of his wild and
teckles courses ho lost his oflicial position
and his standing in socify, and not only
squandered the income from his family es
tate as fast as it came to him, but, in order
to raise more moncx, told his claim to
what should be duo him for twenty Keven
years ahead. When be bad exhausted his j
lesourcesat homo he came to this nonntrv, !
and engaged in some kind of business or j
occupation in rsew loik. His ignorance
of the language, or th dishonest v f his
associates, or both, caused him to fail, how
ever, and left bim utterly destitute. It
was then that he started out from New
York on the tramp, picking up an odd job
now ant) then on the road, but growing all
the while more ragged and wretched. His
aimless tramping journey had brought him
as far as lit irlgeport on the morning when
he passed the music store, and was irresisti
bly impelled, by a sight of the pianos, logo
in and nsk to be allowed to play. JV'eu?
