All the worse for Train if ever he commits murder. The Grant policy of usurpation, in Louisiana, is bringing its fruits — bloodshed has already resulted end lives have been loet. The people want no bayonet rule and will resist; they think they can govern Louisia na themselves, and have indicated by their votes who shall do it, and Grant's backing up the bastard gov ernment of Kellogg is usurpation of the wont kind. Local Option, so for as Clinton county is ooooeroed, does not amount to much. Lock Haven city has vot ed for licenses, while the county voted against The city being the market and centre of trade for that county, almoet; every countryman seen going from Lock Haven, has a bottle with him. Selling whisky and botllee ie now a big thing for the Lock Haven liquor sellers. Civil war has broken out in Louisi ana —nothing less was te have been looked for the way the scalawags went on, under the advice and pro tection of the Grant regime. It it too much to expect that a people shall sit down quietly under such a usurpation as it attempted in that unfortunate state. It is the right and the duty of every citizen of Louisiana to resist The Kellogg government is a damna ble imposition, and were it >ot for the federal bayonets, it would have van ished months ago and the state have enjoyed quiet. Blood has been shed, and upon the Grant administration rests the re- sponsibility, for having triad to fiuteo upon the paople of that state a set of state officer* whom they repudiated at the polls. The administration at Washington had na right to inter fere at all ; it was not called upon to to do so, and we truat that the men of Louisiana will aucceod in driving out the minions and tool* of the white hoaee tyrant, and that not a single one will fiad her soil congenial enough to stay. If the people wiah to pre serve their rights end liberties they must net themselves, there is no use in appealing to, and expecting juetice from the Jaeobine who now tyranise over the country. Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, especially in Louisiana, and God speed the cause of ha sons. The Congressional Steal The dishonest and disgraceful steal of Congressmen in the increase of salaries, and especially in making it aDply to the last session, is condemn ed by the people generally, as ie the act of Grant signiugtbe bill by which it was made a law. Below we give the officers affected by the law, with the old and preeeot Salaries : President $ 25,000 $ 50,000 Vice President 8,000 10,000 Speaker 6,000 10,000 Chief Justice f,600 10,100 Associate Jus—A. 48,000 80,000 Cab't 7 Member*.. 66,000 70,000 Assistant Sec' j 7... 21,000 42,000 Con. 241 members J ,206,000 New Con. 281...... 2,182^00 Senate 370,000 076,000 Delegates 60,000 100,0U) Total ama't tal'r* $1.781600 $3,210.00 Increase $1,415,500 annually Thia is an additional burdan planed upon the people, at a time when taxes are already high. The salaries of Conga—men hare been increased three timet within the past twenty yean, and every time whan the party opposed to the Democracy wore in the majority. In 1854, whan the Know- Nothing* had the majority in Con grem, it wae increased from $8 per aay to $3,000 per year. In 1864, when the Republicans controlled Coo grem, to $7,500 per year. The radicals hare the District of Columbia under their own rule now. The population is 136,000, or about four times that of Centre county, yet it [coats $2,224,000 to carry on the government of the District For aala ries alone $543,596 are spent in a year, and the rata of taxation is $1.76 upon SIOO. The worst of rings have things under their control and the governor is appointed by Grant Astounding frauds are practiced by the radical office-holders there—and there's where the money goes. Un der democratic rule the District was entirely free from the curses which have of lata years fallen to its lot Gen. eberraan says there seed be no fears of a general Indian war. Oakes Ames was struck with para lysis on 6th inst. He struck some fel lows pretty badly with Credit Mobil ier, which was just about as fatal. The tunnel of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad under the city of Baltimore is on the verge of comple tion. When finished i* will enable passengers to go through the city without stopping. Trenton, in Louisiana, was nearly destroyed by fire on the morning of the 6th. Loes 6300,000. Stokes has been denied a new trial, by the supreme oourt. Next the court of appeals will be resorted to. It is about time "new trials" be played out in this case. Chief Justice Chase died in Hew York on 6th, of apoplexy. A salmon weighing 9} pounds, and 31 inches in length, was shot in the Susquehanna, near Hanieburg, a few days ago. That must have been old Sam-one. The democrats carried Pottsrille by 230 majority, the other day, and on Grant. The Graphic hits the nail on the head, elegantly in the following little article: The news from Louisiana, as will be seen from our despatches, is depressing in the extreme. The State is on the brink of civil war, and the slightest movement of either party may precipi tate a bloody contlict. Behind all the conftisiou* and complication* of this sad case, the people do not lose sight of two salient facts: The Kel logg Government has been pronoun ceil a usurpation by the Senate Com mittee, and it owes all its power to the unauthorised interference and the un qualified support of the Federal au thorities. But for the presence of the United State* troops, there would have been no difficulty fo apeak of. The negroes have been excited to take up arms by a faction, ami feel stroug enough to attack the whites because backed by Federal artillery. It is to be regretted that, while affairs are iu this critical condiliou in a great Com monwealth, the President i* riding about the country, partakiug of the hospitalities of the rich, aud evideutly enjoying himself to the utmost with congenial companions. It would seem that while the Modoc* are shoot ing our soldier* by the score at the Lava Beds, aud our nation is irietriev ably disgraced in the eyes of'lhe whole world by corrupt commis sioners at Vienna, aud a whole State is inarms|in consequence of Federal usurpation, Geo. Grant should be any where but where he is. If he canuot attend to the duties of his great office 'at a juncture so critical as the preseut certainly L, he ought to resign at once and make way for a man who is will ing to sacrifice pleasure to business, and does not need a vacation every week. "How the President Draws his Sala ry," is the caption of a three inch ar ticle, going through some of our ex changes. What the President draws the $50,000 for and where it comes from, are matters that interest the dear people more than "How he Draws it." Gov. Dix. of New York, will not sign the local option bill, unless cider and lager beer are exempted. The Strength of the Democracy. The Albany Aryu* exhibits with vigor and clearness the actual strength and resources of the Democ racy and the waning power of Radi calism. It recalls that "in 1860 the Republican party was in an actual minority on the aggregate vote of the country of 947,2897 This minority it has wiped out, not by gains from the Democratic party, but by adding 1,032,475 voters from the colored race. The gains of the Republican party have not been from the white race but from the black race, for the Opposition to-day is able to bring to the polls from the great reserve vote of the country 350,000 more voters than it was able to poll in 1860; leav ing still a million and a half of non voting citizens subject to the call of that organization which shall best suc ceed in quickening their conscien ces. "The country to-day contains three millions of active Democrats, two and a-half millions of white Republicans, one million colored citizens, and one million and a half of non-voting citi zens who are so disinterested that only deep political excitement reaches them. The aggregate white vote of the coontry was about 800,000 more last fall than in 1860. "The Democratic party has to-day a stronger nucleus than the Republi can party. Its three millions hare been baptized in fire and blood for their faith, aod are held by ties strong er than even 'the cohesive power of public plunder,' for tbey have re mained banded together notwithstand ing every reverse. They are Democrats because they believe in Democracy. Republicans have been such, also, be cause tbey believed in Republicanism ; but that party having accomplished all it undertook to do, and its leaders having organized as public plunder ers, those who now believe in the Re publican party are rapidly diminish "Counting in the one million of col ored voters, and yet there are five millions of the eight and a-balf mil lions of voters in the country which the Republican party cannot bring to the polls. With the lo of confidence and loss of interest, now apparent among Republicans on every hand, and with the growing conviction that there is security only in the tried principles of Democracy, it requires very little faith in the ultimate tri umph of the right to become convinc ed of tbe complete success of the Democratic party. "A comparison of the returns of the elections with the census reports shows that of the non-voters full one million belong to tbe non-voting whites of the South, who if they bad voted, would have cast their suffrages for the Liberal ticket, thus giving the oppo sition a large majority of the entire vote. "More than one-half of the electors of the country, including two-thirds of its intelligent population, are wed ded to the Democracy ; and political courage and popular confidence can not fail to make that sentiment effec tive at the polls. "Tbe State of New York contains 981,587 citizens, a majority of whom are naturally Democratic; as has been attested by the many and brilliant suc cesses achieved by tbe Democracy. Over 150,000 voters stayed away from tbe polls last fall. "The Republican party having trampled upon its platform of last J ear, and having been convicted of igh crimes against public morality and sound principle, it but remains for tbe Democratic party to vigorous ly assert its own distinguishing princi ples, to secure tbe confidence of the people, and to redeem the Htate. The Republican party misgoverns wherever it rules. The application of Democratic maxims in the conduct of government will remedy all the con sequences of its misrule. He prattles lika a parrot, then, who prates of Democratic doubt, and Democratic dismay. Just now is tbe precise time, above all others, when the Democrat ic party has the right to be most con fident Its principles are eternal, and the validity of ita organization equal ly so. Immortality possesses it, be cause its life is the life of the nation." Ezekiel West, the oldest man in Pennsylvania, died in New London, Chester ccunty. Age 118. Lofiisliii lon in Pennsylvania - j Speech of K\ Allornpy (irncrfll lllMCk. The llud. Jeremiah S. Black has lately delivered n noteworthy *|H*O he tore the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania, in which lie i* one of the delegate* ut Inige. .l/r. Black wa* Attorney-General of tho Tinted States in the day* befoie mediocrity had become a imsspoil to that otlicc. lie is a lawyer of unquestioned ability and integrity, and his views on the present condition of his own Slate are entitled to great consideration. Mr, Black thus speak* oi Pennsyl vania ancient glory : The titue was when the State of Pennsylvania, then a mere colonv, containing perhaps It ss than .*>o,ooo inhahitants, had a reputation through out the earth for independence, jus tice, pence, and good order • for eve rything that goes to make up the hap pines* of nu organised society. There was no portion of the world from which the eyes of the l>el and wisest men were dot tinned in admiration toward this ooiuniuuity. All this re sulted from tho wise und just system oi laws adopted by the illustrious founder of the colony. And then he dwells on her pre-cut shame: What we want above all tilings ii|H>n the earth is houest legislation ; aud when I say we want it, I use the word in the double son-e of needing it and luckiug it. It cannot be de nied that the legislature of the State ot Pennsylvania has habitually, and constantly, for the last twenty-five years or more, betrayed the trust re posed in its members; aud ibis has gone so far that we mutt have reform if wa would not see our institutions perish before our eyes. There was a time when membership of our State Legislature was a passport to honor aud admirmtiou everywhere, from a Parisian drawing room to the cottage of a peasant. Now that same Legis lature is a sleuch iu the nostrils ul the whole world. The cry against this corruption comes up, not only from every part of this house, but from eve ry quarter of the Commonwealth. It is borne to us on the wings of every wind. Nor is it a mere popular clamor. It is fouuded upon IUCOU testable facts which have pawwd into the dooiaiu of history, and will staud there forever. The speaker gives two specific in stances iu which this utter abseuce ol morality aud houesty iu the Legisla ture has worked terrible injustice, l'he first is the pas-age of the charter of the hank of the United Status m 1837. How this resulted is eloquent ly teld : The Bank of the United States pushed its charter through, partly by direct bribery aud pwrtly by a hase combination of private interests, which were speuly aud shamelessly avowed upon the face of the bill it self. The speculation exploded in the course of a short time ; but it scattered destruction evtrywhere. and brought desolation to a thousand fire sides. It disgraced the character ot tho state ; destroyed her credit ; re duced her public securities to torty ceuts on the dollar ; branded her name with repudiation and made her name a hissing byword among all the ostions. The perpetrators of that atrocious outrage were never called to any account, and their impuuity was an invitation to ail others to go and do likewise. For years after ward the other banks, conbining themselves together, corrupted the | Legislature and robbed the public ac ; cording to the statutes in such case made aud provided. In the growth of the existing rail road system is to be found the otfter striking illustration of the unfaithful ness of the legislators. Mr. Black says of the company which was origi nally organized to build a road from Harrisburg to Pittsburg: It swallowed up nearly all the ; properly that the State ever had. It took it substantially as a gift ; the five or six millions it paid was no consid eration for the fifty or sixty millions it got. The gift of this immese do main was followed by a surrender on the part of the Commonwealth of her right to collect her own revenue, amounting to millions more, and which belonged to her as much as the purse iu your pocket belongs to you. I allude to the repeal of the tonnage tax. I refer to that fatal, that perfid ious statute which the Legislature, the lobby, aud the railroad company conspired to pass disarming the State of her just right to collect the duty which was her own of three mills upon each ton of produce carried. It was a terrible wrong; for it grouud the face of labor to pour a great stream of wealth into the imperial treasury of a corporation which had no claim of right to it. By such a dereliction of duty on the part of the Legislature that corporatiou has grown so mighty that its little finger is thicker than the loins of the Com monwealth which created it. Her stride is across the continent, from ocean to ocean. Her head is in the clouds, and the arms of her gigantic power stretch out on either side from one horizon to the other. The several Legislatures which have stripped me and my fellow citizens of our just rights to clothe this corporation with imperial power were treacherous to their duty and basely unfaithful to their high trusts. But this company is not alone in its infamy: Other corporations have powers i similarly bestowed, and nearly as i great. Four of them have hmi the j advantage of the loose legislation at Harrisburg, so as to secure monopo lies a thousand fold more oppressive than that which made the name of Bir Giles Overreach infamous in the dramatic literature of England. What was the exclusive privilege of selling sweet wines in the reign of Elizabeth compared to the power which puts its own price upon every basketful of anthracite coal that is consumed in a country like this? We are told that these are only a few of the instances in which the leg islature has proved treacherous ; that one in a hundred hns not been men tioned, nor the worst cases selected ; and that the corruption has now gone so far that the veto power is utterly incapable of stopping it. 'l he members of the lobby and the Jromotcrs of the doctrine of Addition, )ivision, and Silence are thus sharp jy portrayed : The foulest birds that wing the air have made the tree of liberty their roosting place, and their obscene droj>- piugs cover alii the plains about them—the kite, with his beak always sharpened for some cruel re past ; the vulture, ever ready to swoop upon liis prey ; the buzzard, digesting his filthy meal and watching for the moment when he can gorge himself again upon the prostrate car-1 cans of the Commonwealth. And the raven is hoarse that sits there croak ing despair to uil who approach for any clean or honest purpose I The absence of temptation andtfici drt'ati iff ptotohmVnt Mr, Blatfk tfvt- iltutly confident theonly remedies ami saftounrd*. lie think* tlitU the tnia-! conduct ol members is due fo the fuel that they are not u-|K>m>il)lc, und no body is responsible for ihciu. lie says: Washington said long ago that ir* responsible power could never he safe ly trusted iii human hand, Hy irre sponsible power I menu poser which may ho abused without calling down any punishment upon the heads of those who commit it.

The scene of the fatal disaster was Mr. Lichtenwallner's limekiln, situated on what is known a* the Hath road, about half a Naxareth. The lime kiln has been in operation for som. time past.| but it was found on Sunday, that a* often hap pens, the fire was choked and theie was no draft through the kiln. Mr. Lichtrnwall ner. assisted by a man named ilaldeman, undertook to remedy this defect, and ac cordingly, provided with an iron rod, he mounted the top of the kiln and reached dow nto still the lime, etc. Wbile in the art of doing this h - was overcome by the sulphurous fumes arising from the lime, and, to tho horror of his companion, pitch ed headforemost into the kiln.

Is there anj Cure It is most encouraging to see men of high character and distinguished abilities tak ing hold of tho greatest public question of tho day and seeking in earnest to find a remedy for tho moral pestilcne© tha tnow rage* among us. On Sunday ovoning President Woolsey, of Yale College, a man of voncrahlo years and most eminent authority, opened the j forty-seventh anniversary of the Ameri can Home Missionary Socioty with a ser : inon at the Tabernacle in this city, a brief I report to which graces the columns efyes jterday's Tribune. "Yea, woe is unto me jif I preach not tho gosple." was his text; and appealing for liberal aid to heme mis sions, and especially to those in the West, fie plainly declared that the promulgation of the gospel among tbe pioneers and set* tier l ol the border, and the building up of Christian churches there, were matters of indispensable public duty. "Failing to do * such a work" he said, "would be a woe in Wt thw AnVrt mkfWd off VbV*rtlnf tw* tional corruption would thus ho ignored.! During the war there was such earnest nest, and prayer, and heroism that the whole nation was lifted to a higher tone J and it seemed as if, with victory, a noble! career was open to the land. Hut, now thai twiee the years of the war had passed there was sueh corruption a* had never been seen in the nation's history. Cor ruption of public official* ; corruption in. the parly which was foremost in loyalty | during the war; alliance for parly end ! with men of known want of principle; feverish thirst for speculation ; an era ofj crime ; a weakening of family feeling ami |purity these things were most ominous, and especially sinee they wore demoralis ntg in tlu-ir influence en the best of men." , 1 All good men will cordially thank Pros-! idenl Woolsey for these words of warn- ing which are at thfisame time words of encouragement. It is a great thing thai such citiacui m he conservative, dignified and able, should perceive ihe evils that beset the country, and shouhi understand and lelj us that it is not by silence respect lag them, or by treacherous and plausible palliation, that the republic can be pre served.
