CONFERENCE MEETINGS.—We sug
gest that the Democratic Conferences,
for the selection of candidates for Con
cress, Senator and Judge, meet at
Bellefonte on Wednesday, the 2Jd
day of Sept. at 2 o'clock P. M. Let
us hear from the editors and Chap
men of the several couuty Committees
in the District.
The above suggestion cotnes from
the Clearfield Republican, and we
second it.
As we remarked heretofore, the
rads intend centering all their effort*
against one of the candidates upon our
county ticket, despairing of defeating
the whole. The cloven foot became
apparent in the postponement of their
convention to Oct. 6, and the demo
cratic nominee they iutend setting
upon with their battering rims, is
Lieut. S. S. Wolf. Well, our nomi
nee smelle 1 burnt powder during the
war, when many of his radical oppos
ers were at home, trembling in their
boots lest the draft should nab
them, and we tbiuk he will stand
their fire as well as he did confederate
minnies.
Robbery by the Govern meat and
the Nation.
In late issues of the Reporter, w:e
gave accounts of the wonderful beau
ties and riches of the Mack Hills
country, which was explored this sum
mer by an expedition sent out at the
expense of the people. It seems now
that some of these men already stak
ed out their claims and wiil try to
gobble up these lauds. No such
claim should be allowed, and that is
not what the expedition was sent out
for to pursue private speculation at
public expense.
The World publishes an animated
account of the Black Hills expedition.
Gold, we are informed, has beeu dis
covered in such quantities that each
digger may hope to make one hun
dred dollars a day. In some spots it
is to be found in the pure state, such
as nuggets, and in every case it.can
be obtained with but the slightest la
bor.
"The course of the Government,"
says the writer of the World, "io re
gard to the disposition to be made of
the Black Hills country will now he
eagerly awaited. Already some of the
civilians who accompanied the expe
dition have staked out claims in the
gold district, and companies have
been formed among them to work
thera at the first favorable upportuni
tj."
Upon all this there is only one
brief comment to l>e mailt; and it is
nothing Jess than the divine com
mand : Thou shalt not steal. This
JSlack Hills country belongs to the
Indians, and the Government and the
people of the United States have
pledged their honor that "no person
except such officers and agents or em
ployees of the Government as may he
authorizod to enter upon ludian .res
ervations in discharge of the duties
enjoined by law, shall ever be |>ercuit
ted to pass over, settle upon, or reside
in this Territory."
SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.
From out the cloud of rumors and
exaggerated reports that come from
the south are two wellsdefined and
welKauthenticated uccounLs of out*
rageand barbarity for which no excuse
or palliation can be invented. The
first of these is the massacre at Tren*
ton, Tennessee. At lite reports show,
the quarrel which led to this bloody
massacre began in a trivial dispute
between some lawless white wen and
some negroes about tire difference of a
half a dollar in the price of admission
to a picnic or barbecue which was be-
conducted under the roiMJfnieiit
of the latter. The quarrel st furtlu r
aggravated hv the pretended omfrs
sion of a negro that a conspiracy had
been formed against the whiles of the
settlement, and by the excited story of
two young nien that they had ben
fired upon bv a party of blaeka.
Under the influence of fear or of a
brutal spirit of hatred and revenge, a
band of white men, wearing masks
and otherwise disguised, seised and
shot down no less than sixteen ne
groes. This outrage has created in
tense feeling throughout Tennessee.
Gov. Brown has offered a reward |.<r
the arrest of the assassins. ami every
exertion is being made to capture them
and bring them to speedy justice for
their dastardly crime. It will lie ob
served that tins was no political qnar
rel, but was set on foot by some mean
whites who sought to participate in
a negro festival to which they were
not invited. The probability is thai
iho perpetrators of this act belong
to the same party and vote the >atue
ticket with the negroes. But the do
cent white people of lenuessco i ! a 1
jiartics deprecate the deed as a i limr
of unparalleled cowardice and batb.w
ity deserving the penalty which the
law inflicts ou the murderer.
The other case is that of I'oushalta.
Louisiana, in which six whit* men
were murdered in cold blood by a
partv i f masked assassins. In the out
start of this atfair the negroes wore the
aggressors, but the inhabitants, in
stead of taking reveuge on them held
the white officials of I'oushatia re
sponsible m their instigators. 1 liese
officials to the number of six resigned
their offices and agreed to leave the
stale under promise of protection. But
after delivering themselves up they
were taken from their guards ami shot
down in cold blood. It is asserted
now that a party of outlaws from 'lYx
as were the perpetrators of ibis lust
massacre. In its atrocity it sufficient
lv resembles some of the bloody
episodes of Texas crime.- I'atriot
STANDING BV THKIK COLORS.
The Pennsylvania Ra.h.sd have
taken The World's advice to the
Democracy. They stuud by their
colors. They give us an issue of the
squarest sort. There is no palaver
about non-essentials in their declara
tion of principles. There is no am
biguity at all in the motto under
which they propose to fight To Free
Tiade, Hard Money, Home Rule, they
oppose Addition, Division, ami Si
lence. No more, uo less. 1. Addi
tion to the currency, to the taxat on of
the country in every fora;, U) our in
dustrial complications, and to our race
problems. 2. Dilation of the spoils
on the priuciple of a new shuffle ana
a new deal. 3. Silence about corrup
tion, and earpetbagism, and the woes
of the South.
Grant is dropped like a hot potato
because he will uot subscribe to the
additions to the currency, aud is uot
likely to consent to take a new set of
politicians iu with him upon the
ground door. Blaine is indorsed in
oye direction aud Morton is sympa
thised with in another. But nobody
can deuy that the Pennsylvania Re
publicans in coy yeu lion assembled
have shown the couragu cf their opin
ions, and that they realize what other
Radicals refuse to admit —that to
purge the Republican party of its cor
ruptions i U> purge it to death. —

One of the New York journals thus
early predicts a gloomy winter for the
toiling classes in that city. It says :
From present indications the np
preaching w inter will be a hard oue.
Thousands of clerks and artisans are
idle, and laborers are being discharg
ed from the public worts on account
of the exhaustion of appropriations.
At the meeting of the Corn is on Coun
cil to-day action should at once be
taken to raise the money necessary
for the completion of unfinished work
and street repairing.
Can't the radiclas in their plat
forms promise to prevent til this mis
ery ?
DOWN ON IT. —The Times, Grant's
New York organ, thus to the
proceedings of the Radical State Con
vention of Pennsylvania, the day alter
the adjournment: The platform adopt
ed by the Convention is beneath con
tempt. The only real affirmation in
it in regard to National issues is that
in favor of protection. It is significant,
however, that the Convention did uot
venture to come out flat-footed for
iuflatiou ; and this justifies a hope that
the next delegation sent to Cougre--
by tbe State will leave less faith than
the present one in the efficacy of dc
bauching the currency as a specific
for the revival of trade. Our dis
patches show that the Convention is
not in favor of a third term for Presi
dent Grant. The work of defining
their views on Nalioual questions has
been too much for many conventions
this season, but no convention has so
signally failed as that of tbe Pennsyl
vania Republicans. The democrats
need never more pretend to be alive
if they cannot make a better schedule
of their principles than the platform
adopted at Harrisburg.
What are the sentiments of the Re
publican party in relation to the
Civil Rights bill ? In the party con
ventions in Maine, Vermont, and
Pennsylvania the demand for the
social equality of whiles and blacks
was emphatic enough. But in the
Alabama Republican Convention
social equality was expressly repudia
ted. The party is all afloat on this
important question. It is evident,
though, that while the Alabama Rad
icals are afraid to face the music, the
the music, the Northern Radicals are
disposed to make moogrelism a car
dinal feature of their programme. The
Democracy will ask for nothing bet
ter than to meet tliem on that issue,
in the South, as the North Carolina
election has shown, it has been fatal
to Radicalism. Jn the North, square
ly put before the people, ap beljove
that it will be no more popular. Let
the Radicals insert a social-equality
plank in the Utica platform, and give
us a chance to test public sentiment
in this State.
At all events bread must be cheap
for a year to corne. The props in this
country and Europe are more than

for farmers, but it a theme for thank
fulness amoDg thousands of poor la
borers.
Gen. Sheridan has issued an order
to generals Terrv aud Qrd. to destroy
the outfit, burn wagons and arrest the
leaders of expeditions to the Black

favor of protecting f!>e Indians as it is

Republican managers, who have con
tracted to supply the party newspa
pers North with political capital tor
the campaign. In South Carolina,
for instance, the carpet bag orators on
the stump use the most exciting lan
guage lo influence the pas-ions of the
negroes. The carpet ting Congress
man Wallace tells his black hearers
that "if they do not get their rights at
the ballot-box they nni.t resort to the
cartridge-box," and John J.Patter
son, of Pennsylvania, the man who
bought a United States Scnatorahip of
the South Carolina negro legislators
with greenbacks, warns the negroes
that the whites arc armed, and that
lhey'(the negroes) should "he on their
guard and be. ready." With such ad
vice thrust upon him at every turn it
is not surprising if the ignorant freed
men is pursuaded that a conspiracy
exists to restore him to slavery, and
that he must assume the offensive
towards the native whites in order to
protect himself. This same rascal
Patterson, by the way, who is urging
the negroes to violence, is he who
shared in the panic in Columbia a few
nights ago, when rumor transformed a
harmless huntsman with his pack of
hounds, on the enhpr fide of the Con
geree, into five hundred Georgia "Ku-
K'ux," nrtmd to the teeth and intent
upon "cleaning out" Moses, Patterson,
and the other republican thieves bor
rowing in the South Carolina capital,

ence of a friendly negro mob on the
const, and who wanted the native
whites driven t.i the wall, was Hying
with terror to the headquarters of tl.e
Federal post cornmatidnnt, when an
idle report of, proaching "Ku-Klux"
was wafted on the wind. It is natural,
Ijotycver, that a coward should be se
lected to do a cowardly work, for such
is this business of inciting (lie poor
African to butt liis brains out against
the superior race. Bo in other pnrts
of the South the agents, presumably,
of the Hot Springs conspirators, are
secretly plotting to instigate negro
riots, so that by ingenious misrepre
sentation the Northern people will be
made to believe that the liberties of
the blacks ure in danger, and that the
Republican party must be sustained
in order tliul they may he saved. Ex

can remain andcj- wat-r depends, of course
on hi* ago and training. Sixty teiond-i

he ever, make extraordinary statement*
as to the length of time their bc.l hands
arc ahb- to remain under water, and grave
ly ns-crt that eight md ten minutes arc not
impossibilities.
The manner of diving is m follows : The
diver—naked of course—with an open net
around his waist for the rccrptarh-| of hw
prir.es, seize* with both hand* an oblong
white stone to which la attached a rope,
and plunge* overboard. On arriving a!
the bottom the stone is deposited at bis
foot, and keeping tiold of tuc rope with em
band the diver gra'j.s and tears <ff tlx
sponges within rench, which he deposits
in hi* net. He then, by a series ofjerk- to
the rope gives the signal to those above,
and is drawn up. No knife, spear, or in
(trument of any kind i used. The Syrian
diver, unlike hi* Greek competitor, never
use* the diving dress, having an antipathy
to it on tbe score of its alh-ged tendency
to produce paralysis of lho limbs.
Twoorlhrco fata! accidents annually
occur, mainly among the skilful and dar
ing. The diver will quit his hold of tlx
rope, nnd wander *onio distance l<> securi
a prize, and < n returning to regain the
rope will mi-* the spot, and be unable to
find il lie then nttcmpts to ri*e unassist

to thirty "brasses," each equal to an ordi

limit mentioned do good sponge* are found

A I>l KKICCLT PASSAGE EXPLAIN

The Bcv. P. S. Davis at the* Pilgrim's
lla)>li*t Church in Thirty-third-st. His
text wa : "And I say also unto thee that
tliop art Bptcr, and upon tin* rock 1 will)
build my church, and the gates of hell'
shall not prevail against it."
This. aid the preacher, is confes-edly a
ditlicult passage, and it lies caused much
controversy. There have been as many:
arguments in all age., and a* many vitm
e*pressed on tllU uhjeet as tiicre have'
b< n writer* It it not my intention t-> ex
pre-s those views or to refute such of them
a* we consider erroneous, nor to preach n
polemical discourse. I h!l confine my
self to stating what we consider to be the
true interpretation of this pas-age.
There are thro- things stated in regard
to the Church of Christ, viz : The b-i.
upon which it i* built, the architect who
d -ign* nttilp-rei-ts tho edifice, and the for-! <
ce- by tv h h il i qs*a q I led • bi r ('. H'e |
take incniuhualiun u|hui which therhurch '
i. built Chrl-t said: "! say unto time
that thou art Peter, and on tbi* r>. k I
shall huild my church.'' The word "rock''
cannot have been applied to Christ him
self, for there i> no reason to suppose tha!
Christ first sni<l to Peter. "Thou art Pi ter."
and then, pointing to Himself, added, ' and
on this rock will i build my Church." It
cannot be applied to Peter's confession of
a truth. Tho confession of s truth rj,n be.
the foundation of n creed, but not of u|
church. Neither can the term bo applied
to Peter's supremacy There is no tact by
wl.ieh to prove that lie was the chief himis
tlo to preach to the Jew* and (fctitilos, and
to deserve the title rock above the other* ;
nor doe* lie himself a-sumo that title. An
other view of tho question, and J believe
the truu one, is thai til" term is applied to
Peter and to all believers to the end of
time What l'oler cotib -ed here he say*
in behulfof all tlo- apostle*. what is '
said to him is said fo all of them. Tho
question i, "Who do ye -ay that 1 atu?' 1
and not "who dost thou, Peter, say that 1
am?" The auoslidn was put to all the
apostles, and the answer i* a collective fifjfl.
Ordinary nmu s.w in Joxq* or.lv a Jpd s
man, but tho disciple* had His divine na
ture revealed to them. "Who do men say
that lam V asks Christ; and Peter replies, t
"Some say thou art Klias ; others, one of *
Lbo prophet* " Then e-.imostho question :
"And who do ye say that I am?" and the s
inswer of Peter, on tho representation of
Lho Apostolic College is. "Thou art the
Christ, tho Son of the living fjud-" This
