Thk annual business meetio;r of the Vt!inT.Tiia Editorial Association will b held at Harr!ebnrg on Thursday next, the i-Wr itvt., at 8 o'clock, P.

Iu 1864 George B. McCiellan was the Democratic candidate for President and George 11. Pendleton for Vice President. On Tuesday last General McClclhvi was in augurated Governor of Jsew Jersey at Trenton, and on the same day, at Columbus, lieore II. Pendleton was elected to the Vaited States Senate by the Legislature of Ohio. This is rather n remarkable coinci deuve. O the discussion of a motion made in the U. S. Senate last week, but which was defeated, to allow a dozen or so of fanatical f males to appear on the floor of '.bo Senate aid ex pi ess their views in favor of an amendment to the constitution couferiing on women the right of snfTtagc, Mr. Thur mau, of Ohio, spoke a piece of his mind ks follows : The Idea bad been conveyed that the lariUs nw making this application to lie heei.1 ty me Senate represented the women of th l olu d btutca.

The contest, which was a tingular one between Mr. Pendleton, fsn. Thomas Eaing, and General Geoige "V. Morgan, was warmly fought by their respective friends, and resulted in Mr. Pendleton's nomination on the third balU t. He Is so prominent a member tf the Dem- sratle party, aud Is en ellknownthroug1t iii the country, that it inquire unnecessa ry to refer at length to his merits and his peculiar qualifications for the high position. Ilia ability is unqucsiioned, and his services to the Democracy of Ohio iu sunshine and lit storm i laced ther.i under great obliga tions to bim. As a Senator he will occupy a place in the foremost rank, and no State in the Union will be mote ably represented in that body than Ohio with Allen G. Thor man and George II. Pendleton. Tub Tarkhh Minister of Foreign Affairs, accompanied by another high officer of the government, left Constantinople on Tues day last for Eezanlik to meet the Grand Duke. Nicholas, of Russia, and commence negotiations for peace between the two countries. Eezanlik, where the conference la to be held, is a town lu Roumelia, at the fiotof the Balkan mountains on their nithern slope. All military operations will of course be suspended until the result i-f the negotiations is known, which will probably not be for some time to como. The Bri ish Pari ameut reassembled yester day, and it is said in London that the views of the English government on the question of the proposed treaty of peace will be declared iu a few days. Since the fall of Plevna one disaster after another baa befallen the Turkish army. Sophia, a uth of tbe Balkans, fell into the posses sion of a body of Russian cavalry without any resistance, and the entire Tutkisb ar auy, about 25,000 men, that was defending the celebrated Schipka Pass, was captured by the Russians af.er a short engagement "With Turkey, therefore, peace has become matter of absolute necessity, even though England may protest agaiust some of its terms. Tub serious charge is made by the Har risbnrg correspondent of a Pittsburgh daily, that a member of the House one day last week offered a bill in bis own proper band, wilting for the pensioning of soldiers of the war of 1812, "diiruptctive of leangihdt time of service." A copy of Webster's dictionary would be more nseful to the gentleman from than a copy of Pardou'a Digest, for if bad spelling by a legislator which approaches very near to a crime, was an indictable offence in this State, bis case would be a cad one. Not satisfied with tbe laurels be has won at Hsrrisburg, he is fatally bent on the nomi nation for Congress in his district. All of which reminds us of a stoiy told some . pers nave claimed, for reasons which we years ago of a well kuowo member of Con- j will state at another time, ihst on equita gresa from the western part of this State, ble grounds the State is liable for the dam wbo in writing a letter to one of his eon- ! ages caused by the riote, and the purpose atituents, and having occasion to cse the of the friends of thia investigation is to lay words physician and photograph, boldly , the groundwork for the passage of a bill commenced tbeui with the letter "P." j at the next session requiring teir payment Tbiukiug that he might possibly be mist a- j out of the State treasury. It would be a keu, and afraid to ask for information lest waste of time to discuss the question of be might expose his ignorance, he sought j the liability of the State until it is presented a book store and purchased a copy of Web- to the Legislature, aud we will simply ex aster.

Tub action of the Republican Elate con vention of New Hampshire last week was complete victory for Mr. Hayes and his S.ruterti policy, and a signal defeat for the radical wing of the party that still fights under the banner of the bloody sun t, i aiee or four weeks ago William E. Chandler, of that ytate, a restless political demagogue and the mere shadow of Blaine, addressed a lenifthy letter to the Republicans of tne , State inwlncu lie bittei ly aenouucea n;ij - .... i IT t and his adini;iistraiion, and reviewed witu much detail the alleged bargain, or agree ment, made last February between Mr. Hayes' personal representatives from Ohio, Stanley Matthews, Johu Sherman and Chas. Foster, ou the one side, and certain Demo cratic members of Congress from the Eouth 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 elected, and that if this was done Hayes would withdraw the troops from New Orleans and Columbia and per mit the tottsring governments of Packard and CbambeiUiu to fall from their own in herent weakness. Chandler's sublime im penence will be properly appreciated when it is Btated that he was oue of the conspir ators who, with Bob Mackey, of this State, and others of the same stripe, went down to Tallahassee immediately after the Presi dential election, and through their corrupt operations with McLin, a negro, and Cow gill, a white man, the two forming a ma jority of the Returning Board, cheated Tildcn out of the vote of Florida and de clared it for Hayes. In his letter Chandler was very careful not to say anything about the part he himself played in this infamous buKincss, as a reward for which he asked Hayes to appoint him Minister to Spain, ilis demand was not complied with and hence his letter, which was intended to ar ray the Republican party in his owa State against the Southern policy of the adminis tration, and revive the spirit of sectional hate in the ranks of Northern Republican ism. The letter and its author -were both treated with contempt by the State con ventionGovernor Prescott, a warm Hayes man, was renominated a resolution square ly eniloising the pacific couise of Hayes towaids the South was adopted, and Chand ler was branded by one of the delegates in a speech as "a political tramp." This ought to be the last appearance of Chandler on the political stnge, and bo a warning to him ond all others like him that if theie is any one thing that the people of the whole couutry desire more than another, and . ' are determined to have, it is peace, with all its unnumbered blessing", between the North and the South, and '.hat any man, no ruattei how high may be his position, who undertakes to inaugurate an eU of strife and discord between the two sec tions, will be overwhelmed by the inesisti ble power of public opinion. If Simon Cameron, his sen Don, and their polilcal letainers throughout the State, have quietly decided, as it is refu ted they have done, that Henry M. Hoyt, of Luzerne county, shall bo the Republican candidate for Governor, all the other fifteen or twenty patriots, each one of whom supposed that the honor wns specially received for him self, may as well piepara their letters of decliuation and put on the Cameron collar. In the'approaching political contest in this State the Cameron clan has but one su premo object in view, to accomplish which it will exert all its energies and resorttoail its picnliar appliances, and that object is the re-election of Doa to tbe United States Senate. Their objective point will be the Legislataie, and in order to make that a sure thing, every other consideration wil 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 iufamous apportionment bill a Legis lature may be returued'that 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 ont of tbe two Sanatrrs and all of tbe nine Representatives to which she is en. titled at tbe next election. Once a reliable Democratic county, it is now essentially rotten and demoralized, and opens up an inviting field for the political debaucheries of Cameronism. Ilenee tbe proposed nomi nation of Hoyt, cue of its citizens, and then au effort to form a coalition on a cor rupt basis with the Greenback-Labor party, which at tbe last election swept the county. Tbe prize is ten votes for Cameron, Can he win it? We will see. Mr. Long, a member of the House from Allegheny county, offered a joint resolu -tion on Fiiday last for the appointment of a committee to investigate the facts con nected with the origin of the Pittsburgh riots last July, and report the testimony to the Legislature. Atter a biief discussion, a motion was made to postpone the resolu- : tion indefinitely and carried by a vote of 86 yeas to 4 nays. A motion to reconsid er tbe vote was subsequently made, and if that motion should prevail and the original resolution be adopted, the committee pro posed by it will have a very large contract on its hands aud the State au enormours bill of costs to pay.

The railroad accident at Tai iffville ocenned at the Tres tle Bridge crossing, Farmington River, jut west of the village. The train was bound for Willerton, and carried passen gers for all stations between this city and that plsce, who came in to attend the Moody and Sanky meeting. Two engines, a baggage and three passenger coaches went down on the western end of the bri.lge, the engines touching the shore, three cars breaking through the ice-, in three feet of water, and one car resting on end on the pier. Seven dead bodies were reoovered at 2 a. M , and otheis were be lie vod 10 be in the wreck. The more ser iously wounded were Rev. Thomas, Me hodist pastor of Winsted, both legs bioken and side injured. Engin eers Fraueri aud Patch, of Hartford, were badly scalded, the latter probably fattally. W. A. Pinny, of Winstcd, head and right side ; Fred llotchkrss, of Canton, ribs bio ken ; Dwight Caze, Buckelatead, head and r ibs ; J. C. Criggs, Nor folk, h g broken. There are a large number of les eer iously injured. The wounded may be numbered at fony. Special trains from Winstcd and Hart ford, bearing burgeons, reached the scene at 1:20 a. m. Fac ory and church bells were rung and the citizens rallied, doing all that was pos sible. The bodies were taken ou planks or i tide sleds across the ice to the TarilTViile side. Thevveunded and dead were mostly put on a Hartford special and were left at Tarifmile and Hartford, and the train took the rest ronnd by Plaiuville on the Fishkill & Canal roads to New Hartford on the western toads. Work at the wreck of the Connectieut western train, at Tarifiville, Mill continues. The relief train has jusl returned to this crty. bo far tlierlead trod res recovered are as foiUw't : William and E. E. oilman, brothers; Benj. Gilfz.

There are still several bodies supposed to he in the river. 1 o other cars lie iieaci down in the liver, resting on the bridge. The passengers climbed up out of the bag gage car which Conductor Chnenand three olheTs broke into, arid all escaped. George II. Palch. one of the engineers, died this morning Several of the dead i wero cut and biuised, but most of them were drowned or were 6ufTtcated by the steam, caused by the beaters id the cars. The Railroad Commissioners examined the bridge two months ago, and pronounc ed it safe. They will hold au investigation at once. The follow ing ar ticle from the Pittsburgh Pott will be endorsed by every Democrat. That Hayes was not elected by the people is the accepted and intelligent judgment of the country, but the difficulty is that there is no tribunal before which the fact could be legally established. The Post says : Men of all shades of pnM!cs may hontly differ ns to the umet expedient and most advis able course to be pursued toward a President notoriously placed in office through fraud. Whether Mr. Tlldenor Mr. Hnyes hud hecn made President hy the action ol the Klectoral Commission, the whole proeeedintr wns new In our hi:-rory, and unknown to ihe Constitution.

H. Hayes had been elected President. The civil war showed. Hinonirst either ilnnvS. that the people of the Uniied 6t:ites are not cowards; and that they ciin and will fljfht for their lights. It cmnot rherefore be denied that th re was a Rrent ilanuer 6tHrinjr the coun try in ihe face, when tire Electoral Commission was created by Coniiress. The point ot points, and the real, solid, historiual fact, which the citizen ol the United States must never loriret, and which, robed in truth," must be handed down to all future eeneratioi.s of AmericHPS, is. 1 tm t the Kepuhheaii party, throutrh their leaders, who should be forevf r hehi infamous, deliberately planned thnt Intended revolution and senatorial us trpation, and ordered tho army of the whole Union to the city of Wash ington, for the purpose of beii.tr used to sustain it. The popir'Hr branch of Conirress naturaiiv shrank from the responsibility ol rnauKuracinn; such a bloody revolution as then seemed inev itable. Jt is now tov late, and it would be use less lo (liwus the individual conduct of the meinb rs fir the House at that critical period. The country and the civilized world know the hinn inn point of the whole matter; which ia. thnt Mr. Tilden was duly elected, and that he was eheated out of his ollice. What remains now Is in a nut-shell. The larire majority of the people never will, nod they never should, rest contented under lite political control of a President whom they cid without a resort to revolution.

The Galena (111.) Gazette says: One of the most singular curiosities in nature thai has ever come under onr observation is tho nest of a tarantula, a species of spider. It is constructed of clay and stones, and is about four inches long and two inches wide. A hole three quarters of an inch in diame ter passes through it lengthwise, one end of which is closed by a trap-door, beveell ed on the aides and top, aud fl tiug so per fectly that when closed scarcely a srgn of the opening is visible. The door is round log at tbe top. perfectly straight at the bottom and working on a hinge construct ed on the same principle as the joints on which the door hangs. The nest is lined witlr a soft gossamer substance, and is as round as if bored itn an anger. It is aaid thai the tarantula, when attacked, etawls into i-s nest, aad closing the door, secures itself by inserting one of its legs through a staple atUfeelr dibcarnibl by tbe naked eye. IZetnttrkaote Longevity death of a woman onb hcndkkd and nine tears old. THE At her house on Court street, at 7:15 o'clock last evening, fays the Cincinnati Star of Saturday, Mrs. Angela Pod est a Onetta terminated a mott remarkable life for longevity, being one hundred and nine yeara and one day old. She w as n:uhmbted ly the oldest person iu this Stae, probably iu the United Staies. The incidents of so remarkably loug an experience in this vile world can but bo of interest. Sfco was born January 10, 17C9. lou will better appreciate thin statement when you consider that she was twenty years old when George Washington was inaugurated fi.-t 'i'kkk i-nt or tbe Umtea Diaie. nun was old enough to have taken cognizance rf all ih evpiiia of the struggle lor rnoe peudeuce. She was a contemporary of Na polcm and Wellington. Deceased was a native of Italy, having migrated to thre country in 184. At the age of twenty years she was mar ried to Podesta, by whom the had eight children, four boy a and four girls. Allthe children, save one, are still in the old coun try. The youngest child, John Podehta, who is now iu his liliy-titst year, is the proprietor of a beer saloon at No. 427 Main street. Thia son, when quite a youth, came lo this country, and during the gold ex citement of 1847 went to California to seek his fortune. He was but moderately suc cessful, and a few years later made bis home irr thir city. Before she came to America her hus band, Podesta, had died. After wander ing for some mouths from place to place in tins country, she finally jorued bet euu in this city. A few years after coming here, and in the eighty-sixth year of her age, she was mar ried a second time to one Onetta, a wander ing musician, who died some yeais ago, since w hich time bhe has hved with her sou John. She was in possession of all her mental faculties lo the last, and befoie this last illness was as spry on her feet as many women fifty years her junior. Her physi cal stiength may be appreciated a hen you remember that at the age ef one hundred she danced all night at a ball in Moz:rt Hall. Irr her old and wrinkled faco 6he bore unmistakable marks of beauty in youth. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, au.i her household duties were performed with out the aid of spectacles. She was always quite liashy, and her face was full ; but after death her cheeks 6;nk in and other transformations were made in her appear ance that her own sou could hardly recog nize her. She had been unwell for three months, but was not confined in her bed until l.iM Wednesday. Her lst hours were free from pain, and she died as calmly us if only falling asleep. Genius on a Tramp. A wonderful piano player witlr a romantic history is ex citing the musicians of Bridgeport. About two weeks ago a shabby tramp entered a well-known music store on Main street, and. asked permission o trse a piano for a short time. The proprietor refused at first, but afterwards consented because the man's manners were much better t ban Ins cloi lies. The tramp sat down and played a difficult composition with great ease and brilliancy. The pity and contempt of his listeners weie at one" changed t-o admiration. Friends sprang up around him, and they are trying t get him once more on bis feet. His his tory, as told by the Jurmer, is as follows: He belongs to a titled German family, and had for his godmother and p.itroness no less a personage than the Queen of Wur temhuig. Ho received a university educa tion and becamo a lawver. He was at one time Consul to Paris from Wurte nilimir. and moved in the highest, ciiclis of lire capital when Napoleon and Eugenie were onthe throne. The cause of his fall from all this hieb estate was dissipation of the wildest, kind. As a result of his wild and reckless courses be lost his official position and his standing itr society, and not. only rqnandered the income from his family es tate as fast as it came to him, hut, in order to raiee more money, sold his claim to what should be due him for twenty seven years ahead. When he had exhausted his resources at home he c:imo to this country, sndlsngaged in some kind of business or occupation in New York. His ignorance of the language, or thi dishonesty of his associates, or both, caused him to fail, how ever, and left him utterly destitute. It was then that he started out fiom New York on the tramp, jfickini; up air odd job now and then on the road, but growing all the while more ragged and wretched. His aimless tramping journey bad brought bim as far as Bridgeport on the morning when he parsed the music store, and was irresisti bly impelled, by a sight of the piano, to go in and ask to be allowed to play. Jsew Ilazen Palladium. Terhible March through Montana Mrs. Ilosa Griffith, wife of Cap'ain D. A. Griffith, Third U. S. Infantry. Co. D. of which is commanded by Capt. James H. Uageby, of Johnstown, sends to the Head ing Eagle an account of the terrible march of the regiment to their new post at Mis soula, Montana. The account says: The reitimerit, which had been stationed in thetSouth for some years, whs ordered to the Pennsylvania coiil rea-ton durlntr the si rike riots Inst summer, and was then suddenly ordered West to assist in sutxluinir chief Je-h and his N'ez Perces Indians. They went to Corinne, CJ. T., and Irom there were ordered to Montana, several of the companies heinjr ordered to Hel ena, and the liMlanee ot the regiment lo the new post at Missoula. T.tie hnrdslup-i endutetl by tiie troops durinir the tramp ol over six hundred miles were terrible. The meo of the command were ill-prepared, by reason of their lonir residence In New Orb ana. for Ihe riirorsof early winter in the Kocky Mountain, and their suffrrinirs were aciiiely intense. During apart of the journey they wereexpi sed to a violent snow-storm, wirh rhe thermometer fifteen de crees below zero.

Wi.en the reulmciit leit .-ew tirleaos there were not five dollars in possession of officers aud men. 'J'ne women and children helontrinir to the command, in cluding the wives and ofNpriinrs of the officers, numbered thirty-two, and transportation for these of course had to be secured at individual expense. It is said that, but tor the timely aid of friends, who. understanding-the Impecuni ous condition or the rank and tile, advanced a little money out of their own private means, these dependent and di etitute followers of the camp must, have suffered abandonment in their time of Kreatest need. On tho march north ward to Corinne several of the women and children fell sick under the terrible exposure, and for weeks their lives were almost despair ed of. The transportation outfit allowed the command was limited to three ambulance. As there was not a dollar of money in the regi ment, the simplest wants of tbe sick ootrM tint be gratified, as the isolated ranchmen and hun ters in that country ref used to part with any thing: when the cash was not forthcoming, ff. rally, as rhe rejriment was nearinur the end of their march, rawed, footsore, penniless and shivering, some of tho ofliceissol.i their pay rolls for cth. but not w ithout the sacrifice of a discount of St per cent, on the dollar.
