The radioalft are now divided upon
civil service reform. Bftfore the ftlec
tion tbey all promised reform in the
civil gervice, and now one-half of them
are down on it, and favor the old drag
and bag. The boneeter portion are
for it, but we think they won't amount
to much. Grant will be carried off
by the corruptioaiatx and incompe
tents, in spite of all fair promises of
reform previous to the election.
When the merchants and citiiens of
New Orleans, at a large public meet
ing, eppointed 100 of their foremost
citizens to go to Washington, and lay
before the President a trutbftil state
ment of their troubles ia Louisiana,
and ask for justice, Grant told his at
torney general to telegraph as fol
lows :
Your visit with the hundred ctusens
will be unavailing so far as the Presi
dent is concerned. His decision is
made and will not he changed, and
the sooner it is acquiesced in thetooner
good order and peace will he restored,
t Signed) G, H. WILLIAMS,
Attorney General.
Now Gram made up his decision
and declared Pinchbeck governor be
fore he was acquainted with the rial
fhcts, and when he has nothing to do
with deciding who ia the governor of
a state— a question which must he set
tle within end by the state itself, hot
he uas the bayonets in New Orleans,
and bis word is law. Can the Emper
or of Morocco go further ?
The N. Y. Herald, which leans to
Grant, does not endorse his usurpa
tion, and speakiug of his bayonet rule
says "it has not a pleasant prospect be
fore it. Apart from the few whites
who are interested politically in its
success and the negroes it can control
hy money or other means, it is utter
ly without a following in the state.
The militia refused to recognize its
authority and defied its armed police,
yielding only to the Federal troops.
The people are united against it, and
will, no doubt, contest its right to levy
taxes or to do any legislative act.
While it holds on to its usurped au
thority it can only bring confusion,
trouble and discredit upon.the State.
Whi thou t the Federal government at
their backs Kellogg, Pinchbeck and
their associates could not remain in
power a single day, and every hour of
their rule will be au injury to the peo
ple of Louisiana."
The Women Dine Donging.
The women are about to petition
the constitutional convention for the
right to vote. Wa don't believe there
are half doxen of females in Centre
county who are bothering their brains
about it,and any woman who hasa good
husband, or any ooo'in expectation of
one, will not tear her night-cap strings
about women suffrage.
Now all male voters have a qualifi
cation affixed, and if females shall
have the right to vote, we insist upon
attaching qualifications, for instance,
about as follows, all of which being
U. K., let her swear:
Ist, That she can bake good bread
and can cook a good dinner.
2d, That she knows how and is will
ing to nurse her own babies.
3rd, That she can darn stockings,
mend breeches, make beds, keeps her
house in nice ord~and, in case of
necessity, can chop wood.
4tb, That she don't follow ths styles
and fssbions with every change of the
moon.
sth, That she detests Grecian bends
and an extra stock of hair.
6th, That she can fill all the above
qualifications and have time enough
to vote and read and talk politics.
Now if Suse Anthony or any of the
other strong-minded can fill these
qualifications, why let them be voters,
and if they think we are asking too
much, let them "go for us."
We direct the attention oFour read
ers to the prospectus of the Pittsburg
Pott. The Post is the leading demo
cratic paper of Western Penn'a, and
among the ablest organs in the state.
The daily reaches our county at noon
on same day that it is published and
contains all the telegraphic and much
other news. The weekly will be found
a first class family paper.
The N. Y., Tribune supposei that
the Executive has come to the conclu
sion that the recognition of the Pinch
back government in Louisana, was to
say the least premature and that:
The legislature which has just pre
sented articles of impeachment against
Warmoth is guaroed by Federal
troops. The Presidents'* word alonp
suffices to establish the legality of the
contesting claims to the Governorship.
Jf this is not ehaot come again, us
t could like to know what it is.
The administraiou has bought up a
majority of the Tribune stock, aad we
suppose the toae of the paper will net
be in a line to expoee the wrong done
by the administration, which it follow
ed so fearlessly and independently un
der Mr. 'Greeley. Colfax baa been
chosen editor under the new arrange
ment.
The Tribune stock—sl shares of it
—has again changed bands, being
purchased back by Whitelaw Ried,
and will be conducted in accordance
with Mr. Greeley's late views, and
will only support the Administration
when it thinks it is right.

STOKES^TRIAL.
The case for tha prosecution in the trial
of Edwaid 8. Stokes was closed on 26th,
and the opening for the defence was made
to tha jury. The only new testimony
elicited, of importance, was that of Parker,
to Ike effect that Stokes, a few weeks be
fore the homicide, had asserted that he
would shoot Fisk.
Andrew Parker testified : On the 6th of
January last I was living in 84 street;
knew Stokes before that time ; aaw him at
tha Hoffman Heusa six or eight weeks be
fore the (hooting; I was introduced te
Mr. Stokes and we entered into conversa
tion ; we speke of the trial of Johnson in
Yorkville ; he asked me bow I was getting
along in the hotel, under Fisk; Isaid I was
not appointed by Fiak; he removed me; said j
I was sorry there was trouble between him
and Fiak ; be said Fisk was a d—d black
mailer ; he hed a pistol and would shoot
him.
Stokes Denies the Statement.
Mr. Stokes here rose quickly and ad
dressing the court, said in a ioW tone of
voice: "It is false, r-ery word of that '
He then sat down and steadily gazad at
tha witness during the cross-examination.
Ia his trial on 27th, Stokes told his story
of the Fisk shootiDg. He admitted that
he shot Fisk, but said he did it in teli-de
tensa ; that Fisk draw his pistol to shoot
him ; and that, moreover, he had long been
in constant tear of personal violence from
Fisk. We are not told what effect this
statement had on court or jury. The trial
will be concluded this week.

A CONCISE STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Let Every Freeman Head.
The following rigorous tad clear review
of the political situation in Leuisiana from
the New Orleans Timet will he reed with
interest by sll who hsve not crown thor
•aghly callous and indifferent to a high
low eitisans in n distant state, er who have
not become enamored of lawless negro
rale:
CASTSABO EST DILSKDA.
It is impossible that tha American pee
pla can ho kopt long ignorant of tha facts
or indifferent to the wretched condition to <
which this state and people are reduced by
the recent outrages perpetrated on tbam
by a corrupt ring of polities] adventurers,
aided by a judical confederate and the
arma of the United States.
We repel, as'an undeserved reproach,
the suspicion and imputation of utter cold
i hearted insensibility on tha part ef tha
great mast of our fellow citizens at the
north. What has appeared to us in that
light ia ascribabls to a supreme ignorance
of the fbcle. Justice to thorn, as well as to
our cause, requires that these fleets should
be kept before them, distinct and separ
ate from the false and foreign matter and
issues by which they have been leaded
and cenfounded.
Let, therefor*, the admitted, uadiepua
| ed aad indisputable facts of this contro
versy be put and kept before the people la
inch form and manner as will leave them
t ao longer an excuse for misconception, ia
, diforenee, or lukewarmness toward a cause
, which involves the most serioos results to
republican liberty tbat has over arisen in
the history af the republic.
These are the facts:
1. That an election was hold for state
officers In this state, on the 4th of Novem
ber last, under the laws of tko state, aad
with tba universal admission by all
parties of its fairness and pcaceftilaess;
that at suck election, there were over 21,-
860 more votes received than were ever
polled before.
2. That not a word was uttered in refer
ence to the fairness of tbiselaction uatil
the reeult was proelaimed ss in favor of
the conservative party in the suU; that
ta plot was hatched In the custom-
Idftfcia city to have this election sot

oal oaedidaie*, and especially an ever
whelming negro maiorlt.T In the legists

ft. To effect (bit object the United States
district attorney concocts ie a caucas of
fader* i cAce bolder* a bill in chancery
in the name ef Kellogg, alleging that he
baa bean dadrivad ef ten thousand votes
which, if they had been cast, would haw
been in his fbvor, and'would have given l
him the majority. In support of hi* all#
gation* ha file* soma B,6ooaffidavits, prist i
ed, and with tha rreas marks attached, of

4. Before any sitting or inquiry into
these mare allegations and afßdnviU could

tha United State* Judge U*ue* an iatar
loeulery order, directing the United

eapal the regular etHcars ef the state, and
to proceed to recognise and in*utl a* the

I. The returns of this board, creeled by

grantly false and fictitious, based en no
ether fact* er tgurea than tha mere ca'.va
leliona of a partisan committee, and tha
excluatea ef all returns of vetee actaally
received by tba conservative candidates.
There i* ae man of their own party with
a aperh of decency who doee not laugh to

ea Kellogg, by bis awn intimations, ha*
admitted tba groa* autrage sad falsehood
of tkeeo returns, end declared that conser

7. That jhe immediate effects of lhes<-

If tuch transaction* can obtain thalr ap

Louisiana converted from rich prosper

,| A Warning to Strikers—Nenten
r*dto Sing Sing for Seven Years
r for Intimidating a Workman
{From tbo Sow York World of Doc. 7.J
The caa of James O. Chambers, in
dicted during the season of strikers
last summer for felonious aasults upon
James Brownlee, a non-striker, was
, disposed of in General Sessions jester- ;
day, the prisoner being sentenced to
State Prison for seven years. The
history of the case is as follows : On
the 6th of Judo last James Browlee, a
carpenter, was at work in a shop on
East Forty-first street, near First ave
nue, when Chambers and another man,
both members of trade-unioDS, entered
■ the shop and accused him of recrean
cy to the cause in working for less
than the Union prices. Chambers
then drew a pistol and menaced
Brnwnlee with it. Next he threw
Brownlee'e tools from the window and
again drew bis pistol, but was dissua
ded from using it by his companion,
who then weut in search of other
strikers, leaving Brownlee in Cham
ber's charge. The latter then com
pelled Brownlee to leave his work and
come with him into the street, when
drawing his pistol a third time, he
presented it at nis neau, wiin me
words. "That is the way we treat
such a sort as you*'' and fired, the ball
entering Brownlee's cheek and carry
ing away a portion of his jaw.
Chambers yesterday pleaded not
guilty, contrary to the advice of his
counsel, who wished him to plead to
the charge of a minor assault, for
which five years is the maximum sen
tence. Being examined as the sole,
witness in his own behalf. Chambers
confessed the truth of the complain
ant's story, alleging, however, that
during his converAnon wiin me
complainant the latter had struck him
with a saw upon the head. This was
before the parties went into the street.
In summing up the case District-At
torney Sullivan said: The first con
sideration for the jury, after satisfying
themselves of the facts, in to so decide
the case as to vindicate the law and
presesve the public peace and order
These workmen, misguided as they
may have been, were engaged in aii
unlawful act; thev were trespassers in
the building they Had entered, and not
peacefully assembling, as the Jaw en
titles them to do, to consider matters
of their rights and interests- They
visited the complainant when at his
work to intimidate him and drive him
from it. The assault was therefore a
great offence, not against the com
plainant only, but of a character to in
terfere with the rights of the whole
people. It was an attempt to prevent
men from pursuing their daily labor
for the support of their families, and
as such amounted to nothing lees than
a riot, violent and dangerous, which
made it imperatively the office of the
law to vindicate the public order and
peace.
The jury remained out about half
au hour and brought in a verdict of
guilty, with a recommendation to
mercy, and Recorder Hackett senten
ced Chambers as above.

ritory will be cut the water road from

the trade of half the world will trav

the future of the isthmus portion of i

essential that it should be protected
by a steady government, capable of

tion to the canal which is required to

' The State of Louisiana, says the
Pittsburg Poat, has a complete po itical
organization, as fully as wo have in
Pennsylvania. It has its Governor,
its Judges its subordinate officer .
It was formed under the legislatiou of
the Radicals themselves. And vet
we find Gen. Emory, acting under the
orders of the Secretary of War—or, to
speak with more accuracy, uuder the
orders of the President through the
Secretary—demanding the surrender
of a State Arsenal to the I'uited States
| troops.
There was no rebellion in I.<oui*iana
at the time . theGovenor, under whose
orders the militia of the State held the
Armory, is a carpet-bag Republican
trom Ohio ; so there can be no pretext
that this war of the military power
waa made against the Democratic par
ty; in point of fact it waa only one
point in the game now playing in New-
Orleans, by which Orant hopes to
bring about the election of bis broth
er-in-law Casey to the United State
Senate.
Suppose Andrew Johnson had used
the military power for such a pur
pose, what would have been the re
sult ? Would not impeachment and
removal have followed close upon
him ? Why, for merely enquiring of
of this very same Gen. Kmory, who
waa at one time iu command at Wash
ington, how many troops we had and
where they were poeted, a Radical
House endeavored to removo him.
Now Emory may be used by Grant
to seize the property of a State, and
not a Radical watch-dog even whimp
ere.
Ia Grant only practising upon the
people upon the outskirts, preparato
ry to a Cromwellian or a Bonapart
ist demonstration upon Congress it
jielf?
A Dentist annouuees that he ex
tracts teeth with great pains. Most
dentista do.
Nine thousand Khivsse are besieging the
Russian fort* on the Emba River, and
another force of 2.0U0 men is depredating
on the Russian fisheries at the mouth of the
same river. The British Ambassador at
St Petersburg has informed Prince Gort
schakofi that England will not interfere
with Russia s progress in Central Asia so
long as it does not threaten Afghanistan.
OUR BLACK STATE, SOUTH CARO
LINA.
The town is again filled with the honor
able*—God savo the mark-and white, red,
yellow, and black legislatori are to be
seen on every hand. Scott, the retiring
governor, has been too ill to install his
successors, the saintly Moses, and the law
makers of this thoroughly Afracanixed
state have spent the week loafing around
promiscuously. Dark celors being fash
ionable in winter, everything here may be
considered in the height of the fashion.
The president of tho senate is a'negro ;
thofipeaker of the house is a negro ; two.
thirds of the members ot both houses are
"r" : 'be chairman of nearly every im
portantcnmniitlee is a negro ; doorkeepers,
messengers and other atlnchee* aro ne
groes; the clerk of the house is a negro; the
lieutenant governor is a negro iconvict in
the Unitod States court) ; the state treas
urer, and in fact all the state officials ex
cept two, are negroes; the members of
Congress are all negroes except one, and
the fowwhite* associated with this ignorant
and degraded black crew look meaner than
the darkies themselves. There are mem
bers who cannot sign their names ; others
who hare dabbled a little in the spellini
book, but aro independent and origina
enough whenever thoy attempt to write l<
spell every word in away ofthoirown, un
like any way known to Webster or th<
printing-office ; others who havo figured
in the criminal courts of'their respective
counties and if they do not understand s
demurrer thoy aro by no means ignoranl
of bars, and the body cntiro may be con
sidered (always excepting tho few Demo
crats) as a mass of ignorance and brutality.
Ooe glance at tho concern is enough to se
cure an indorsement of this verdict from
any impartial and intelligent loookor-on.
BARNUM'S MUSEUM BURNED
Fearful See nee in the Blazing Mena

N*t Yoax, December, 21—The clang
of tho Are bells, the shouts of tho multi
tude, the hoarse cries of tho firemen, the
roaring and screaming of the wild beasts,
and the indefinable crackling, hissing
noise of the flames combined to make the
burning of Barnum's Museum, this morn
ing, a sight both terri bio and great. It in
only a few months ago that Barnum paid
to Mr, Wood the bonus, allowing him to
re-open the show business in New York,
and purchased Lent's Fourteenth Streot
Circus. Hore he installed one of the great
est menageries and museums he lias jel

Kie this the watchman had succeeded in
loosening two of the three elephants, and
tail them to the rear aatranen, and out into
the street, where they were loosened
A determined effort was made to save oth
ers of the animals, but the Ore spread so
rapidly that those who went to their rescue
were forced to run for their own presarva
lion. As the fire rau its round of the thin (
framework of the building, the corrugated j
iron siding crumpled up in while hot
leaves, and joined with tho dames in lite
ceulre to insure the dislruction of the
cages of beasts, birds and moukavsand thej
curiosities from avary point of the earth
The lions and tigers roared with rage and
pain as the sparks and tailing brands fell
upon them, and beat with freuaid agany
the iron bars of their cages that grew mo
mentarily hotter. The birds screamed
frantically and fluttered, but only for a
moment The hut air either stifled their
voices, or a flame caught their plumage
and almost iasiaiitaniously they were en
veloped in the fire. The chattering mon
keys huddled iuto the farther cornets of
their cages until the heat drove iheui forth
and as all became living coals around them
tbey bounced backward aud forth again,
up aud down, until they fell into the hot
bed of coals, crumpling into coals them
selves. Their agonies seemed nearer that
of human beings, and their cries were even
more piteous than of the other beasts, be
cause of their frantic attempts to escape,
and their consciousness. The agony ot the
more ferocious beasts was more terribly
grand. One huge tiger sprang out as trie
top of his cage tall in on hitu, and a second
later was struggling with his hegd and

Terrible Railroad Disaster.
Nineteen Persons Killed ami Thirty
five Wounded.
Carry, Pa., December 24—Midnight
This aiteraoon at quarter past three o'clock
as the mail train on the Buffala, Corry and
Pituburg Railroad, leaving Corry at twen
ty minute* past one p. m., neared Pros
pect, and when within al>out eighty rod*
of the station, the train was thrown off the
traek at a trestle work, the passenger and
bsgf*X* cars and tender falling a distance
of twenty-six feet v. bile the engine passed
over unhurt. Up to the preient time the
dead bodies of nineteen persons have been
recovered, tome of which are feanully
burned, and thirty-five persons are known
to have been wounded, some of tbem seri-
' outly.
Almost immediately the cart took fire,
* the passenger coach burning at both ends.
e Some balf dor.cn poisons wailing at the
1 station were soon at the scene of the acci
dent, but they worked at an immense dis
r advantage. No water could be had, and
J the snow that was scraped up had little ef
fect in staying the flames. Only two axes
. were available, and the wood-work of the
cars was bolted together so firmly and in
tricately that but little headway could be
iinadewith them. All the time those ef
[ forts were being put fourth the flamos were
steadily gaining, and ihc shrieks of the irn-
I prisoned victims, as the scorching hunt en
' veloped them, was appalling to the stout
est heart. Now aud then a ropo was putj
I through a crevice, fastened tr a form, and
the sufferer pulled out by main strength.
Sometimes it would be a lifeless body, and
tho charred arms, legs, or head would drop
ofT in the struggle. In thrco or four in
stance* the head was thus separated from
tho trunk and in as many more cases the
body was bereft of it* limbs. The body of
• 'adv was thus rescued from the flames, j
the head and one arm snapping off like a
piece of charcoal while the other arm was
untouched, a kid glove covering the hand
and her fingers wearing thoir jeweled or
nament*. The body will doubtless be re-!
cognized with the aid of the rings. But:
for these it would have boon inijvossiblo toj
identify it. The bodies of three other la
dies were taken out, neither of which it it is
believed, can bo recognized. In nil it is
estimated thnt fully ten of the nineteen
forms removed from the burning car aro
unrocognizablo.
After the accident Frank Taylor, ofCor
rv, one of the rescued passcngors, was
leaning against some object and seeing an
acquaintance passing called him by name.
The friend turned around and saw Taylor
apparently uninjured, but suddenly he
said' "Tell my wife''—and fell over dead.
Ho must have died from internal injury,
but tho inmates of tho burning cars were
shrieking for aid, and Mr. Taylor's friend
did not see him again until his corpse was
brought in and placed with the others.
After the groans of tho dying were stilled'
in death, tho stench arising from the burn
ing bodies is said to havo been sickening. I
With no means of extinguishing the flame*
and tho heat being too intense to admit of
all the bodies being extracted, nothing
could bo done by tho spectators but to
stand quietly by and see the remains slow
ly consumed.

Smyrna i bialoric, I here for the flrsi
jtlme experienced the feeling tbat I wa>
letting into the realms of antiquity. 1
was now approaching the theatre a": tb<
: hoary past, and I began to recognue th<
i fact.
Homer is claimed as a native of Smyrna
and it weuld seem, with a fair degree ei
plausibility. It was here that one of tk
'Seven churches of Asia'' mentioned ie
the Apocalypse was located Among oth
er objects of interest which are worth the
traveler's attention, is the Governor Pal
ace—a characteristic monument of Orien
tal luxurv and enjoyment;the Viier Khan
among the ruins of the ancient Theatre;
a Hy ran tine castle overlooking the b tv en
the'site of the Acropolis—manifestly a
magnificent structure in its dav, grand and
imposing even in its ruins . the Cemetery
on Ml. I egus near the site of the Seven
churches £c.
Among the foremost whe clambered on
deck whoi the steamer slopped, was a lit
tle. wiry, sunburned Jewish-loeking fel
low, who announced himself to be a drago
man. His English was villainous, but by
dint of a good deal of extravagant gesticu
lation he could generally succeed in mek
jing himself understood. 1 wanted to go
on shore, jand so I motioned him to ap
proach. Yes, he was a Jew, and named,
; as is every alternate Jew you meet in the
east, after the prida and glory ef bis race
—David. David was "berry good drago
man," according to his own showit g. lie
did look as responsible as anr of the other
bandits around him, who claimed to be
dragomen and so we engaged David.
>V e want on shore, and after the usual
amount of bargaining we secured horses
and started for tbo reputed church of St
John's Revelation. It lies about a ride ef
an heur and a half north of the modern
town of Smyrna. Winding our way out
among endless caravans and trains of
camels and donkeys, we at length reached
tho open country and galloping by ruins
and broken pillars and crumbling aque
ducts. relics of a former Roman age. found
ourselves standing within a little dingv
convent-like building concerning which It
'is claimed, the command came to the soli
tary watcher on Tattoos, "and unto the
angel of the church at Smyrna write. '' A
long bearded, venerable Oreek padre lives
ia an adjoining cottage, and with his wife,
has charge or the hoarv eld pile. Hie as
sertion that this is the identical building in
which those old contemporaries of St
John, worshiped did not, by any means,
convince us of the fact. The exact locality
of tha ancient church is still a question
among archaologist*. They are all agreeP
however, that tu site is in this vicinilyr
Dropping a few piastres inte the palm of
the old padre, and accepting a little wax
candle which he urged upon us as a me
mento, we galloped away. Returning wc <
passed by tho gravo of the Christian mar
tyr l'olycarp. A lono cypress standing .
out in the treeleas landscape around, marks
his resting place. As I rode up, a woman <
closaly veiled was kneeling bv tho little <
mound engaged in prayer. Brave old
rolvcarp! you could march boldly to mar- !
tvruom soon or tban deny your blessed
Christ. Oh, valiant old martyr, it is hero
ism like yours, that expands and ennobles
our lives and when we would be mean and
teaches us to he good and true. Your
heroism has net been forgotten either, for
here, aftqr all these centuries, is religion
worshiping at your grave.
Kphesus another of the "Seven churches"
is near here. Patmos also, where that aw
ful apocalyptic vision came to the lonely
exile. It cost us a severe pang to forego a
visit to them, but the Ebre would not wait
and lands of wondrous intorest still lay be
fore us. 80 we strolled through the ba

A new political era is opening before the

The negro-cycle of our politics ha>
rounded to its conclusion through civil
war, social violence, industrial disorder,
and has ended is giving freedom to four
millions of the negro rc, and the ballot
to its adult mates.
"The old order chaageth, yielding place
to now."
The politics of this new era will come
heme to every man's business and bosom
as never before, being vital toprivate pros
perity and the maintenance ora Democrat

For not only aro the manifold ouroach
menu of Federal upon Btate powers and
of both upon the large liberty of Ameri
can freemen now as always to be replied
with ceaseless vigilance ; not only is home
rule or local self-government now as al
ways to be maintained tor the best guaran
tee of civil liberty and of national great
ness, but besides, the victories ef peace
which are to give splendor to the political
era must be won against every advantage
which even enemies of free * institutions
could desire or possess.
A gigantic Debt, which the honor of the
country is pledged to pay, encumbers nil
our industries with its oppressive burden.
Nevertheless our systems of Municipal and
State Taxation are crude, unequal, and de-
