From Washington conn's the intelli
gence that there arc a good many Re
publican members of the House who
do not sustain the acts of the Southern
returning boards and who in conversa
tion expressed the hope that the Presi
dential ehction may bo now thrown in
to tlio in order that a President
may be constitutionally and legally
chosen, the popular will of the people
sustained and peace and prosperity res
tored to the country. Among the more
honorable Republicans who lift them
selves above tlie mere partiean jiassion?
of the hour ttiis feeling is quite univer
sal, and includes at least two Republi
can mombcas from Massachusetts. T hey
say that with Have* in the executive
clmir Hie country will not recover from
Its present depression, owing to the pal
pable knowledge that he would uot be
th* lawful 1 "resident and that the Gov
ernment would not have a legal head.
Their position is strengthened some
what by the opinion of Grant, who said
the day tlut he did uot "believe
tltore had been a fair election in Louis
iitpa in eight years," and who in his con
versation writh Mr. Hewitt seemed to
favor * constitutional election by the
House a* the only safe way for the coun
try.
Prof. S. TV M'Curdv, a leading repub
lican of Millheim, has got at loggerheads
with sense of the Agronsburg rads. The
tatter reported the Prof, as not
gether sound on the goose, and in con
sequence he was cashiered from the
still-house appointment. The Prof, de
clares he was a genuine Hayesite, will
swear to it, will prove it, will unearth
the ticket from the ballot-box to show
i;, Ac., ami claims to be as good a repub
lican as tiny Aaronsburgcr, "even asgood
as Doctor Mtisser." Whether by this the
Prof, means that the Doctor is a model
repub, the staudard article of that kind
of kittens whom they pattern after
Jowh thwc, we could not eliminate froiu
the ProfX letter in the Republican of
lost week. But the Prof, goes on to de
clare, however, that he is not as black
guard}' a repablicaa as some of Aarous
burg republicans. I'r. Musser will please
dodgo that shot, it can't mean him, for
bi'Curdy says he is as good a republican
"even as Dr. Musser." Maybe itis meant
for sarcasm only. Here is a nice tempest
in a teapot. Now let Grant order out
the soldiers, and preserve the peace all
along the line from Aaronsburg to
Stover's stillhouse, on Pevins creek.

Tne same was done by the Tilden

Congress will have to judge which are

On their way to the three disputed States
to institute a thorough and searching
investigation (to quote the language of
ithe House resolution) "to see whether
the electoral votes ofthese States should

Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina,
there will be no objection to their being
counted for him on the second Wednes
day of February, when the two Houses
of Congress meet in joint Convention.
But should the inquiry show that the
votes of these States were fraudulently
diverted from Governor Tildcn, and the
legally expressed will of the people at
the ballot box set aside, then those
States will not be counted for Governor
Hayes. The choice of a President, as

has end®d as follows: The rascally re
turning board lias done just what demo
crats and some of the leading honest re
publicans predicted—it has obeyed tLe
coxiimand of Cameron and Chandler and
wiped out a democratic majority of over
feOOCk and manufactured a republican ma
jority fpr, Hayes of over 4000! all this in
face of the certified returns from repub
lican boards throughout the.State, which
gave Tildeft n majority of over 8000, and
to whom the state rightfully belongs.
Hox JOHN P.PACKEB, rad, ofSunburv
is i. candidate for next Governor of tins
State.
The certificate given by the Governor
©f Oregon to a Democratic elector, Mr.
Cronin, in that State, establishes, on the
principles laid down by the Radicals,
the majority of Governor Tilden, and
puts the position of the Presidential
contest in a new and interesting light.
Carl Shurz, who advocated the elec
tion of Hayes, denounces the bayonet
ohtrage by which Tilden is to be count
ed out of Kouth Carolina, Florida ami
Louisiana.
It is rumored that Mr. Conkling of
New York, the leading republican in
the U. 8. Senate, will shortly make a
speech disapproving of the late military
interference in the elections in the three
disputed states.
Other prominent republicans and
leadin journals of the same party, de
nounce the fraud of counting Florida,
Lo'.'.i iana and South Carolina for Hayes
when the certified returns from the
radical election boards showed that Til
den had carried those states by large
majorities.
THE NEWS WITHOUT POISON.— The
New York Observer claims to publish the
best family newspaper, and repudiates all
Unsound or objectionable teaching. Even
its advertising columns are free from all
quackery and dangerous advertisements ;
and tae whole paper, both in its religious
and its secular department, is filled with
pure and entertaiug reading. While we
commend the position of the Observer in
this matter, we also heartily endorse it as
one of the most desirable periodicals for
any household. The price, s3.lb a year
post-paid, can hardly be made to return
as mu.ih good, r.peat in any other way.

can organs express their lisap|nnment
over the document; it is harely worth

Representatives chosen directly by the
people. It is impossible, wore so m.uiv

to the present, has not been free from
these mistakes; hut I leave comparisons

than four years before the country had
emerged from a conflict such as no other
nation had ever survived. Nearly one
half of the State had revolted again-: the
Government, and of those remaining
faithful to the t'nion a large percentage
of the population sympathised with the
rebellion and made an enemy in the
rear almost as dangerous as the m re
honorable enemy in the front. The
latter committed errors of judgment, but
they maintained them openly and ct r
ageously. The former received the pr -
teetion of the Government tlu-y would
see destroyed, and reaped all the pe
. cuniary advantages to be gained out of
the then existing.-uite of affairs many
1 of them by obtaining contracts and by
-windling the Government in the de
livery of their goods."
These mistakes of the president were
pointed out to hiui all along by demo
crats and by honest republicans, but he
was too stubborn aud bullheaded to
correct his errors, and persisted in
wrong doing to the end. llad he kick
ed the Cameron*, Belknaps, Babcock*.
and the host of ring thieves that con
stantly surrounded him and who were
his advisors, from his presence, he and
his administration would not have been
disgraced.
The president in another portion of
his message recommends that all who
can not read and write the English lan
guage should be deprived of the right to
vote.
He says nothing at all about the pre si
dential muddle, and does not even at
tempt to excuse his unconstitutional
military outrages in some of the south
ern states tocoantout an honestly elect
ed president. Good bye. Grant, thank
God the country is rid of you—nothing
worse can possibly follow.
Gov. Seymour, Chairman of the Demo
cratic electors, upon the occasion of
' their meeting on G, made a powerful
• speech upon the presidential question,
•' from which wemake the follow ing short
extracts: "At this moment of general
s congratulation the people were startled
t by the assertion that there bad been dis
, covered in remote Southern States the
exact number of electoral votes which
would be given to and would elect the
' Presidential candidate who was not the
. choice of the majority of the American
( people." The surprise was the greater
because it had been made a cry by the
[ Republicans to excite the North that
. the "solid South" were for their oppo
. nents. The men who are responsible
, for this so-called discovery have been
shunned as lcperou's men whose touch
was pollution by honest Republicans;,
and these men are now perilling the in-!
terests, honor and safety of the Ameri
can people. The people are humiliated
at the spectacle of the solemn verdict < f
■ 8,000,00*} voter* in danger of being 10
• versed by less than eight infamous men.
. To elect men to govern the l"ni< n
, against the will of the jeople is revolu*
lion, involving anarchy, distress and
' dishonor. It is the action of men wtio
• stake everything upon success and who
1 for their own safety, would imperil the
safety of the American Union. Mr.
Seymour asked: "Will a free people
i trust such men with the reins of power?
; Will they consent to be dragged into
danger and dishonor by men who are
goaded on by fear* which always haunt
the guilty?"
In closing he said: Even those who
desperately seek to hide the records of
past misconduct from the knowledge if
our people will quail before an aroused
public. Gne thing all men see: The
lie publican party cannot decide it* own
case, in its own favor against the majori
ty ot the American people, upon the cer-
Itificate of branded men in Louisiana,
without making the body of our citizens
and the world at large feel that it is a
corrupt and partisan decision. We can
not have Mexican politics without Mexi
can finances and Mexican disorder*.
The business men in all civilized coun
tries have lieen taught by recent bank
ruptcies and disorders in governments
made unstable by agitations, to be
watchful and distrustful w hen thev see
the slightest deviation from j>oliti al
honor without which there can be no
financial honor."
TIIE PRESIDENCY.
VIEWS OF GOV. HE.VOKKKS.
Indianariolis, November 7—The Jour
nal publishes an interview with Gover
nor Hendricks on the situation. He
thinks the action of the Returning
Boards in Florida, .South Carolina and
Louisiana not in accordance with the
laws of these States, or the Federal Con
stitution, but hope* Congress will do
justice and assert the true spirit of the
Constitution. He does not believe that
the Vice President can declare who i*
elected, or that the two House* of Con- 1
gressare simply witnesses its to the
count, furnishing teller* to certify to the
correct reading of ballots. He relies
upon the twenty-second joint rule,
which he contend* has been in opera
tion since 1858, and declares jt a legisja- i
live interpretation of the Constitution <
specially intended to fclit'h a crisis as the i
present. i
He admits the possibility of the House t
declaring Tilden President, and the i
Senate declaring Hayes President, and 1
that such a crisis would be of the most i
serious character, and entail upon all <
patties I)VB gravest resimnsibility. He , i
declined an* statements as to his recent j ■.
meeting with Governor Tilden. t

A Horrible Discovery,
The Evening Post says i At about elev-
I R . clock'a horrible disrovcry was made
; In the middle of wis at was the lobby of the
thegtre, lay an immense Ipile of rubbish,
smouldering beams, fragments of girdors
and other things. This heap was nearly
opposite the principal entrance to the aud
itory of tho theatre. Ilovond it was an
other heap, marking the place whote tho
stairs which led to the gallery foil under
the lioap first mentioned. A dead body
was found, and tho firooion diligently
prosecuted their search in this direction
With much lubor some ot the heaviest
lumber was removed and a horrible sight
was revealed beneath that mound.
Corpse* lay in rows, heaped one upon
another, and packed together with fearful
solidity, which told of the great pressure
to which they had been subjected. How
many lay ,'hero, what their sex or age, no
man c< uIJ tell, and at noon only guesses
could be made.

Origin of the Fire.
According'lo the statements of all par
lies who profess to know ai. Jibing as to
the origin of the lire, it began on tho stags
the business manager, Mr. ltodgcrs, says
that n piece of canvass, out of which trees
Ac., are made, was broken from its Ins
tenings, hud hung from tho flies immedi
ately over one of tho lordur light* nenr
the centre of the stage. Tbocauva.* LuJ
begun to smoulder, and the paint on it to
crackle, an ! the carpenter was directed to
ns. erid to ono of the grooves and remove
the dangerous canvass, objected that he
could barely reach it with his hand, and
he drew it hastily up. The rapid motion
through tho air of the half ignited ui.4
highly ii.flammablo ennva-s caused it In
burst into a flaiuo, which rapidly spread
to the adjoining material equally suscat ti
ble- All effort* to extinguish tho flames
wore abortive, and the carpenter had to
retreat to save bis own life. The scene in
the gallery after the alarm was raised? is
dc-cribed n* something horrible to contem
plate
The firemen had not fairly begun their
labor* before it bceanio evident that it was
impossible to save tlietlienlre or any part j
of it; tho entire attention of tho force WB*I
therefore directed to the " surroundingi
building-, which tuoauvhi'o v/ore serious-]
ly threatened. Several small buildings on
the opposite side of Flood's alley were
partially destroyed, and at one tinn? the
firsi precinct Station House was in iinini
nont dung, r, Tho fire was, however con
fined to the tlmiiUi) by the united exer
tions oT the entire fire department. The]
interior decorations of the theatre were of
such light and influiiimuble material that
the fire was quite beyond their control, so
far as the theatre wasconcerneJ, and the
root b'-ing equally light and inflammable,
it required constant exertion to keep the
fire from spreading. i
In the rush from the parquet n father,
mother and child made their way us far as ,
tliM lobby when the father, who was car- I
rying the ciiild, Was knocked down and
tho mother fell into a doa.d faint. Two (

THE GLORY OF CHRIST.
| A sermon by Dr. John Hall, with illus
i (.rations from the Eastern Question. His
text was taken from 1 Peter 1, 1- : "Unto
whom it was revealed, that not unto them
selves, but unto us tbey did minister the
! things, which are now reported unto you
hy then. thai, huvfl preached the gospel
unto you with the Holy Gliosf scni down I
from heaven ; which Ihidgs tho angels de
sire to look into." Dr. Hull in substance
said :
] This text follows the one of last Sunday,
uud this subject is a continuation of it.
That ot Inst liui.diiy was on tho sufferiug
of Christ and thofslopy thai,.l:, uld follow
I then spoke to you of the suffering*, to
day I will address you on tho glory of
Christ which followed thbro sufferings.
The prophets in tho text are described as 1
doing tho thing foretelling these sufl'erings I
and Die glory and searching diligently re- I
garding them. You will see that the suf- 1
fetings and the glory are closely connect- I
ed. Wo can in human affairs trace hut J
the steps by which men rise to glory from 1
poverty tu independence nnd then obtain- 1
ing an opportunity to benefit their follow- 1
creatures, but in respoct lothi* glory wo
osn but feebly truce tho progress. May i
God ss'fsi u- i' r ', ■ w attempt toenntem i
pinto tho Ob ry w Hi' li wu wijh Father 1
before the world tvas. It' Wnk 'u' glory I
wbicli tho angels desire to look Into. It is r
the bond of sympathy jbelwofcn us and the f

being in..) y itfr the fnUicfl, lior yet the glo-! d
ry'of Ins hninapity raised tohcavMi,
fur that is glory sliarer) by his -eryapta op 3
ihcvtttlh. The shrunken limb','the Jj- %
sensed body nod the failing eye are all to
be restored and glorified by hi* work
The glory consisted in his mediatorial
work between God anil man. Many walks
are eventful In a man's life, when new
views ami resolution* crowd in upon him i
utul that must have boon an evantful Walk
when bis two sorrowing disciples, mourn
ing over his suffering*, met their bud by
tbn way. end when, in opening their eve*, ■
bo connected the cutlerings with the glory.
"Ought toil Christ to have suffered these
things and to have entered into glory?']"
t he prophet Isaiah at d the lVa inol sa) '
the amn thing. Do you not remember in 1
tlio(ihlti i'salni, reed this morning. "The!
char-ots ol God are twenty ihousumt, even j
I thousands of anguL the Lord is among
litem, at in hinui, in the holy place," nnd
HI Latah ; Therefore, 1 will divide him u
| portion with the great, and he shall divide
n spoil with the strong, because he has
poured out his soul unto death,
tils glory is manifested as a peace maker,
among the Beatitudes lie Ityi, "Blessed
uro the peacemakers." Thereare three

is wrong, where both are wrong, and
where there is a mutual misunderstanding.
Between u> and God we are wrong and In

lice by assuming Us guilt, by actings* me
diator between (ii-d and man. Less than
half a generation ago the two sections of
this Lnd Were arraved against lcb otlu r
oil t e . ye of a mighty struggle which hap
liioi thiscounlry witli blood. Sup|Hi*o ut
that time some one, with head to davlse.
..nil honor la tarry out, should have in |
: \ ctitcd a plan for the settlement of the i
I troubles satisfactory arid iionorble to both
sides? At the present time the pewer* e!
Europe are on the eve of trouble which
mutt inevitably be determined Sootier
erluter. Suppose soon-one could suggest
n plan satisfactory to all which will avert
; this struggle - not hy suhlt rfuges and de
ceil and armistices, to give both pailies
further chance to arm, hut in a manner to
put at r. st the whole difficulty. Such a
man would stand second to none in his
iMun rv's history. Chn#t ha* done mori
than this ; ha tin* hv his own heart's
blood settled the conflict between God and
;tneti Christ's glory appears as a C*n
- querer The world lias given high lauda-1
'.ton to the Alexanders, Nelsons, Marlhor
i iughs and Wellitigtons of history, hut to
me the moral conquers are greater; How
ard and Fry greater than Nelson and Isa
bella ofSpain ; and thespcctaclo of Wash
ington in modern time* and Cincinnati!*
in ancient, laying aside the cup of {tower
of which for years they had drank, great
er than all their victories Christ con
quered sin and death, and llie grave it
may htiv e seemed from below little when
. the solitary figure was received into the
clouds, hut from above, when he entered
into heaven, amid, let us hope, an innu
merable company of angels and the tpir- ,
, it* of just suers made perfect, it was a glo
rious sight.
Christ's glory appeals as an admiriistra
'( tor. He did not asccmi tele passive, like
I ".he Hindoos describe thi :r_deilici, but is
before the throne, making continual in
tercession for his tuiopie and watching
. ovi-r them.
These are not the only manifestations of
his glory ; this glory is in the conversion
of each soul that comet to him, in their en
trance into glory, in the advancement and
triumph of his ( hurch There wa* a time
in the livescf both Washington and Wei
', linglon w hen they were the subject of
- much misunderstanding and unpopularity
- but they triuiupbrd over that. Let tuc
t now invite you to enter into this glory.
. Di e. any one fenr those words, from suf
fering rito glory ? I an best answer you
from the scripture. When in the book of .
Jo.-l.ua the priests that bore the ark'
touched the water of the Jordan it divided'
asunder and they passed over dry shod :
and so when you cutue to the dark river
. you will find not the ark but he whose
character i* typified bv the utercy seat
