Th legislature of Uw York pamed
a local option bill last week. The
Tribune enye a great many member*
took advantage of requests to be e xcus
d from voting to ventilate tbair idea*
upon the ntriti of the bill and of tern
pe ranee legislation generally. It was
only after long delay in aunounciag the
vote, which afforded opportunity for
lobbying and drumming up votes, thai
barely • sufficient number of Yeee
were aecured to pam the bill. It wa
currently reported, thia morning, tbat
an eflort waa made by the liquor dealers
to defrat a concurrence by the uee ol
money ; but if auch aa attempt wa
made, It foiled, and the bill BOW goes
to the Gorenor for his signature The
name bill, or a similar one, baa been be
fore the Legislature for three years
past, but has always until uow been de
feated in the Senate. The country
members, especially the Republicans,
generally voted for the bill thia yew,
although it was asserted in the debate
that Its passage would drive most oftbe
German Republicans out of the party.
In calculating the political advantage#
or disadvantages, tbey appear to have
arrived at the coocluaioa that the tem
perance vote was of mors value to the
party t*n the German vote. Ttfe Ger
mans would have been entirely satisfi
ed if lager-beer had been excepted from
the operations of the law ; but all at
tempts to do this failed ia both Houses.
The bill as passed requires a vote to he
taken in all the towns and cities of the
State at the next general election on
the question whether license to sell liq
uor shall be granted or refused—a ma
jority of votes to decide the question.
Where the limits of aa incorporated
city are aot the same as the lowa lim
its, the city is to vote separately; hot
in the case of villages the vote of the
town aad village together decided the
question of license for both.
Simon Cameron ha* had hie por
trait painted upon a panel in one of
the doors of the senate foreign rela
tione committee room. Along ride of
himself he has the portraits of twe of
the most distinguished chairmen of
that important committee ; these are
Henry Clay and Charles Sumner.
Cameron is the present Chairman,
aad has the three figures so arranged
as to makt his picturaglook the BMWI
important and prominent of the three,
and there ia only one man we know
of who for a certainty thinks he is
the greatest of them all, and that it
Cameron himself, while all the out
side world look upon him as entirely
oat of place, as well ss utterly unfit
for the position. But if Cameron can
not make himself prominent by any
ability be shows in the .foreign affairs
committee, he can certainly stone for
it and satisfy his vanity, by making
paint do for him door panel,
what brains lack him in statesman
ship.
We think the senate should have
the foces of Clay and Sumner wiped
out, as tbey are disgraced by the com
pany they have been forced into, and
in their plead might be pot something
like the following appropriate side
dishes :
A scene showing old owl-aose in
the act of swindling the Winnebago
Indians.
Bags of gold showing bow the
habitual briber fixed Mallear, Lebe
and Wagoaseller, with,the portraits of
these bribe-takers.
A picture of hie car-ride with Mr.
Boyer, when he agreed to pay him
$25,000 to vote for him for U. 8.
Senator.
The are a dozen other little ex
tras, of the same character, in the
life of Mr. Cameron, which might bo
painted around the margin, and
which woold tell the true onto re and
history of the man.
Simon Cameron along side of Clay
and Bummer ! how ridiculous! It's a
slander upon those men.
The constitutional convention, as
will be seen in another eolnma, adopt
ed a section which abolish#* the office
of associate judge.
Thia week's horrors opened with the
following headings: Murder in New
York City Mysterious Murder ia
Maine ;—Riot and on* MM killed ia
Bending;— Brutal Outrage and Mur
der ofa young girl in Putnam co., N.
Y.; —Murder in New Hampshire.
How much longer this list of vio
lence will be by Saturday evening,
God only knows.
GOT. Dix baa not yet signed the
bill—he wants lager beer exempted
from the operation of the act. Lager
bibr is harmless, and we think that
it should hate been exempted from
tho local option act in our own State. <
President Grant haa received a
"temperance bleesing" from Philadel

Weil, a man who haa taken aa much

So many members of Congress
having returned to the treasury the
increase of salary, the oeuatry is now
waiting to hear from Gea. Grant in
the matter. Grant has not yet signi
fied hie intention to return to the
United States Treasury Jat the close of

On the Bth day of April ay the Pitts
burg Port. Mr. Orvi* of Center county
charged in hi* place in theliou*e, at liar
riiburg, that there wa* a defalcation upon
the pert of the Radical official* in this
State, amounting to the extraordinary *um
of nearly three million* of dollar*. Thi*
•peech ha* been published at length tti
many paper* in the State, the Po*l among
other*,and ne effort ha* been made to meet
the very *eriou* charge it embod os ; the
idea of the politician* who in*pire the
Radical pre** evidently being to let the
charge die out under a well arranged
•ilence. Thi* game will not win. The
amount alleged to have been stolen i*
rather to*' large to be permitted to *ink
quietly and forever into the pocket* of the
honest men whe are u*pected of having
appropriated it; and we call upon the
Commercial -the property of two Stat* of

th* difference between these twe sum* *
Th* N. Y. Tribune give* the following
illustration* oftbe "Retrenchment and
Raform ' promised by the Republican par
ty :
How well the party and the President
have fulfilled their promise* ef reform,
perhaps Mr. George W. Cartis can answer
as well as any one. How mnch the party
has used its power ia carrying forward
measure* of retrenchment is partially illu
strated la th* very suggestive cempilation
puhlithed herewith showing th* office*
created and salaries increased by the last
Congress. A larger number of these offi
ce*, as will be seen by th* roll, are lest by
the terms of tn* hills creating them, in
such indefinite shape that the amount by
which the salary roll is increased cannot
be stated but the increase ia salaries *>ide
from these foot* up $1,252,657. The trust
ful voter who believes the "Christian sta
tesmen ' when they promise retrenchment
aad retorm en the stump aad in the pre**,
will find lood tor reflection in these figure*.
This amount of increase in saiarie* he will
bear in mind is not a tingle grab of a mil
lion and a half, like that by which Con
gress lately signalised its devotion to prin
ciple. That was a matter of a single Item
that had only to be charged over to profit
aad loss for the people to pay once and be
rid of. But here is a perpetual burden upon
the peopl*. It is as if the national debt
had heea increased by over twenty-five
millions for which five per cent* bad been
issued. Nay, more, it is a debt that can
never be redeemed Government salaries
go only one wsy—up always ; and this
amount must be paid always annually from
tbie time forward. It is aa increase of th*
national debt by ever twenty-five millions
in such form that th* interest must be paid
forever with no power to pay the principal
or wipe out the obligation.
It is a pleasing popular fiction that this
is retrenchment. It bath somewhat of the
flavor of such Civil Service Reform as
gives us Casey and Newman and Sharp* ;
ef such a humanitarian Indian policy a*
the Modec war illustrates; of such honest
administration as compounds all felonies
against government for a fraction of the
fruits and fine* an importer e quarter of a
million for mistake* by which the Govern
ment came near toeing 14 million; of such
a policy of reconstruction as furnishes tw*
government* to a State, by the use of Fed
eral machinery to uphold a usurpation,
ef tuck a plan of developing the resource*
ef the South a* brings all th* land under
the hammer of the tax-gatherer and{*nrich
es a parcel of peanut seller* and barten
ders, who support the National Adminis
tration, and administer the State finance* ;
ef a wise and dignified foreign policy which
send* peddling politicians to disgrace us in
the meet retail, picayunite, corner-grocery
way before all nations at Vienna ; ef a self
sacrificing devotion to th* interest* of the
country tbat adjourns th* Senate with dis
ordet and bloodshed impending, which it*
action might prevent and which scatter*
President and Cabnieton pleasure trips
all over the country in the midst of com
plications oftbe most serious moment; of
n purification of politics represented by the
stuffing of ballot-boxes and the parden of
repeaters; of an elevation of the tone of
public men illustrated by the President in
■is companionship with Thomas Mrupby
and Henry Clews; ef a loyalty which
censorts with Mosby and denounces Sum
ner ; of n sincerity of conviction which
take* Butler as leader and turns daaf ears
t* Hnwiey; ef an integrity that carries
Credit Mobilier and lies about it; ef a
Christian statesmanship tbat see* n* dis
honesty in sitting in a Senate where seaU
are sold almost at public vendue, and man
legislate for great corporations from which
they have received general retainers.—
There's something of tbat sort af flavor
in this buisnes* of retrenchment.

Postal Cards.
The Third Assistant Postmaster
General, Mr. E. W. Barbor, has given
notice that, the uecessary appropria
tion baring been made for the purpose,
the Department will, on the first of
May next, commence the issue to post
masters of the postal cards authorized
by the act of June 8,1872.
The card adopted is fire and one
eighth inches in length and three inch
es in width, and is made of good, stiff
paper, watermarked with the initials
U. 8. P. O. D. in monogram. The
face of the card is engraved, surround*
1 ed by a border in scroll work one-
I eighth of an inch in width. The one
cent stt.mp printed on the upper right
hand corner is from a profile bust ol
the Goddess of Liberty, looking to the
left, and surrouuded by a lathe-work
harder, with the words "U. S. Postage"
inscribed above and "one cent" below.
On the upoer lett hand corner are the
words "United States Postal Card,"
with directions to "write the address
only on this side, the message on the
other." Underneath, and occupying
the lower half of the canl, are ruled
lines on which to write address, the top
line being prefixed with the word "To,
—." The back of the card, inteuded
for the communication, is entirely de
void even of ruled lines. In color, the
body of the card is light cream, the
printing velvet brown. No variation
in size, shape, color or in any other par
ticular will be made from the regular
style to accommodate special cases;
nor will the Department do any print-,
ing on the card beyond the engraving
specified in the description.
Postal cards will be sold for one cent
each, neither more nor less, whether in
large quantities or in small.
The object of the Postal Cards is to!
facilitate letter correspondence and :
provide for the transmission through
the mails at a reduced rale of postage
of short communications, either print
ed or written in peucil or ink. They
may therefore he used for orders, invi
tations, notices, receipts, acknowledg
ments and other requirements of busi
ness and social life, and the matter de
sired to be conveyed may be either in
writing or in print, or particular in
both. In their treatment as mail mat
ter they are to be regarded by post mas
ters the same as sealed letters, and not
as printed matter, except that in no
case will unclaimed cards be sent to the ,
Dead Letter Office.
An ordinary printed buisness card
may be sent through the mails when '
prepaid by a one ceut postage stamp
attached ; but such can] must contain
absolutely no written matter except '
the address, otherwise it will be treut- '
ed as not fully prepaid, and refused '
admissions into the mails.
All cards different from those herein I
described bearing embossed or printed
postage stamp# and purporting to be
United States postal cards are counter-'
feit, and the manufacturer of such,
cards or the attempt to use the same
will subject the offender to a One of
1500 and imprisonment for five years.
(Sec. J7B, Postal Code.)
Postmasters will not, under any cir
cumstances, be permited to reduce or
exchange |>osta) cards that may be mis
directed, spoiled in printing or other
wise renderd unfit for use in the hands
of private holders.
The Depatrment will not furuish
less than five hundred cards on the or-j
der of a postmaster. Individuals de
siring postal cards will purchase them J
of a postmaster, as in no case can they
obtain them upon their application to|
the Department. '
A KANSAS HORROR!
An Am In I Kcvrlnllon.
/>iroivry of i Murderer * l>rn Con
taining Eight I ictims.
The Kansas t'ity (Mo.) Tituos con- J
tains the followig act-mint o! a dread-j
Itil ntlsiir already alluded to in our
telegraph columns :
\\ hat follows iu its facts may read
like the recital of some horrible
dream, wherein night mirrors upon lite
distempered hraiu a couutlrsa number
of monstrous and unnatural things,
vet what is set down in tlm narrative
is as true as the sun :
On the Ulh of March, l>r. W. H.
York, the brother of that other York,
famous now for his |ie-uetration of the
'guilty secirts of l'otneroy and hi* be
'travel iu the supreme moment of the
Senatorial crisis of the trusts confided
to his ktcping—left Fort K-ott, on
horseback, for bis home in lndr|ieud
ence, Kansas. lie did not come
home. Ill* fin-nds watched aud
waited |or him, hi* family prayed and
jpraved f.r hint, the talk of the town
dealt day alter day with him, expec '
latinti at last decpeuetl tulo downright
eat neelnc** about him, until on the
'JSih of J/arch the Lawrence Tribune]
I gave a btiel account of tbe mysteri
ous disappearance. All at ouce there
after all the paper* in the State took
up the tale of his journey, of hi* uon
arrival, of the fear* of foul play, and
of all the little detail* ami circum
stances that might go to hnw that be
had been murdered. Tbe most thor
ough search known to futile skill wa*
at once commenced. Hi* neighbor*
iturned out en uu*e. lli* brother,
Col. A. M. Yuri, rested ueilher day
.{nor night in bis labors, but followed
what seemed to bim a trail with the
tenacity of Indian and the devotion
of a aiut. He was traced to Cherry
vale, but no further. Cherry vale is a
1 smalltown on the Leavenworth, I-uw
renee aud flatveslon tai.road, aud is
in latbette county, about fifty miles
from the southern liue of the Slate.
To the south of Cherry vale vou.e two
miles or less, stands a frame house,
having in front a large room, where
uieal* were erved, and a rear sleep
iing room, furnished with two beds aud
' some scant additional furniture lie
aides.
Williamouil Thomas Homier live.!
iu (hi* lifturo with their wive#. To
the right of tile dwelling house wins an
out house, and in the rear was an en
rioted garden of |K>asihly two acre*.
The search firmed to end suddenly
at Cherry vale. Suspicion, ifever en-
It itaiued. fell upon no one. There
were various surmises, conjectures and
expressions of opinion. W IU. liender,
the eldest of the brothers, had a wife
who was a Spiritualist The balance
of the Henders called her a medium.
The ueighbors, a she devil. She was
fortv-two, with iron gray hair ragged
at the ends and thin over her temples.
Her eyes were steel-grav and hard.
All the household feared iter, dreaded
her, obeyed her, and as the sequel
proves, did the devil's work for her
beyond all the atrocious devil's work
ever done in Kansas.
Time weul slowly by, and a man
tidiug in one day from the prairie saw
no smoke arising front {lender's chim
ney. The windows were down, the
doors were closed, there was no sign
of lile any where. This man, bowev
ever, in riding bv a pen to the left of
the house, saw n dead calf iu the lot,
and, upon further iuvestigmtion, and
with the practical eyes of a practical
farmer, used in gueasing the weight
of live stock upon the hoof, he
knew that the calf had died of starva
tion.
Then the truth came, as an over
flow cornea ofteu to a Kansas creek,
r all of u sudden and overwhelming
, Such a death suggested flight, flight
meant guilt, and the nature of the
guilt was surely murder, llegallop
ped into Cherry vale and related what
jhe had seen. The town aroused it-
I self. A parly was organised instant-
Iv and set out for the Bender mansion.
Then it was rcmemlwred that about
two weeks before this—say some
(•: where near the 24th of April —Wil-
, liain Bender had sold to some persona
. either in or near Cheryvale, a watch,
some clothing of flue character, two
mules, and, perhaps, a shot gun or
, two, and some pistols. How did he
, come by these? If the dead could
| speak the question might be readily
answered.
The party from Cheryvale arrived.
■ The front room of the house was care
fully searched. Then came the back
| room. The beds were removed. In
• his flight the elder Benner hud left
, everything untouched. Not even the
, doors were locked, though such had
been the reputation of the ibe-detril
that the premises stood as safe from
( intrusion as if protected by a devil in
reality. After the beds had been re
| moved one of the party noticed a
slight depression in the floor, which,
upon closer examination, revealed a
trap door upon hinges. This was im- !
mediately lifted up, and in the gloom
a pit outlined itself, forbidding, cav
ernous, uuknown. Lights were pro
cured and some of the men descended.
They found themselves in an abyss
r-haned like a well, some six feet deep
and about Ave feet in diameter. Here
and there little damn places couldjbe
seen as if the water had come up from
the bottom or beeu poured down from
above. They groped about over
these snotches and held up a handful
to the light. The ooze smeared itself
over their palms and dribbled through
their fingers. It was blood. The
party had provided themselves with a
long sharp rod of iron which they
drove into the ground in every direc
tion at the bottom of the pit, hut
nothing further rewarded the search,
and they came away to examine the i
garden in the rear of the house. Af
ter boring, or prodding, as it it were,
for nearly an hour, the rod was driven
down into a spot, and when it was
withdrawn something that looked j!
like matter adhered to the poiut.'l
Shovels were at once set to work, and i
in u few moments a corpse was uncov- t
cred. It had been bnried upon its'
face. The flesh had dropped away '
from the log*. There ku no coffin,
no winding sheet, no preparation for
the grave, nothing upon the body hut
nn old shirt, torn in places and thick
with damp and decay. The corpse
win tenderly disinterred, and laid
upon its hack in the full light of the
soft April sun. One look of horror
into the gastly face, festering and
swollen, and a dozeu voices cried out
in terror:
"It is Dr. York !"
And it was. He had been buried
in a shallow hole, with scarcely two
feet of dirt over him. Had he been
murdered, and how ? They examined
him closely. Upon the back of his
head and to the left and obliquely
from his right ear. a terrible blow had
been given with a hammer. The
eku 11 had been driven into the brain.

took place to-day in the Drututnond colliery
in Pictouceunty. Mr. Dunn, Rbe mana
ger, bis assistant manager, and forty other
men are in tbe pit. The slepe is on fire
and there Is no means of egress from the
mines. Great anxiety is felt for tbe safety
of the men.
The greatest excitement prevailed above
■ ground after the fearful occurrence and
crowds of people for miles around came
rushing to the scene of the disaster, and
*aw one ot those heartrending scenes
which is described by eye witnesses as
something harrowing beyond all coacep

fade from the memory.
Mothers, wives, sisters, children and
friends crowded anund the burning pit.
mourning piliAilly the terrible fate of
those below, their heartrending criee be

Every effort has been and it being made
to rescue the men, but so far ftruilleaaly.

New Glaso<w,|N. S.. May 14.—The Are
at the Drummond colliery continues to
burn biiskly, but is slowly abating, all of
tho openings having been filled up and
steam and water turned into the air shaft

The men whe have escaped with greet
difficulty from the slope report that on
their way up they passed the bodies of
their comrades, who had probably be
come stupefied by the smoke. Since the
explosion none have camo up alive.
Of four men who volunteered to go
down the sheftshortly before the second
explosion, three wrro killed.
Several violent explosions toek place
last night. One was perceptibly felt four

0 seek shelter in an adjoining woed, as ths

About 11 o'olook this afternoon theae ex

having been lakan'to guard against such a
danger, no apprehensions are felt at the

The scenes in and around the villages

A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE.
Tbe Rope Breaks at an Execution
and the Criminal ia Hung Up a
Second Tim*.
A sharking sight was witnessed at lh< x
rcution of George Lea, a negro, Yanery
villa, N. C., on the 3th inst. It is thus de
scribed by a correspondent :
Us mounted tbe step* to tbe drop with a
Arm and steady tread, and. being asked by
the sheriff if he bad anything to say, he
addreaaed the crowd, warning them par
ticularly against whiskey, which, with tbe
promptings of the devil, he alleged, had
brought him there to day. He admitted
his crime ; slated he had made his peace
with hit maker through the intercession of
Jesus Christ, and aarnestly exhorted all
present to lead good lives and meet him in
heaven. He said, "I met with bad fortune
The crime was wreng, hut the law is right
I have nothing egainst this man that is
going to kill me: I love him end I love
everybody. Good by to you ell."
The fatal moment now approaching, the
sheriff proceeded to pinion him at the ank
les, when in a broken and tremulous voice
he called leudly, Mar** Tom I Oh ! Mar
sa Tom ! Oh, Marsa Tom 1 Ooodhy ! good
by I I'm about to diet Oh, Marsa Tern.
I love you! Fergive me. and meet me in
heaven!" A white cap was then drawn
ever the features of the condemned man.
For a moment he stood
an Awful Looking Spectacle
on the drop. At twenty minutes of two
p. m., tbe drop fell with a loud crash ; an
exclamation of horror came from the
crowd; the rope had broken, and the
body of George Lea was dashed to
the ground, quivering in the agonies of
death. The rope was promptly loosened
and the neck, though not broken, was
turned atifftto one side a* he writhed in
the greatest torture. He was asked if he
felt hurt, to which he replied, "Yes, very
badly hurt."
A New Rope
was soon brought, the noese was quickly
made, and placed again on the condemned
man's neck, and once more he was stand
ing a living spectre on the drop. He
cried oul"Geodbyt" again to the
crowd. Nine minutes te two p.m. there,
was another crash ; the body fell fblly five,
leet seven inches. But this time it remain
ed suspended, swinging round with great
velocity, and tho sheriff steadied tbe rope,
and then the body was drawn up two or
throe timas convufaively, and after some
slight twitchiags of the hands and lower
limba. the body, at twenty-three minute*
past two, was cut down. There was mo
tion of tha heart twenty minutes, and the
soul of George Lea was ia eternity. The|
great firmness and courage with which h*
walked on the scaffold the second time
elicited the admiration of every body.
