It is reported that the Watchman is
soon to put out an article recommend

"Hani times" are {troubling England

The despatch says, a sUte of appall ng

As to how Jack Kchoe took the sign
ing of bis death warrant, the Patriot
says;
Jack Kehoe, whffn informed of lbs
governor's action in signing his dwatb
warrant the second time, sid: "Well, I
am prepared to hear anything; anything
is better than the torture of imprison
ment. For two years and s*vwn months
1 have been a prisoner, and if I had my
choice between death and life imprison
ment I would choose the former. I tell
yon that a year and eleven months sgo
i could have been aa free a man as you
are if I had accepted the proposition to
squeal offered me, but I would not.
Gowen told Father Gallagher he womd
hang Hartranft if he didn't hang Kshoe,
and 1 don't blame the governor. Vet
how is this ? The governor said he
never would hang me, and here he isaues
a warrant rfrer withdrawing one. I
never believed he would do it. Whsi
would you do if you were me *"
Just what the Reporter says; saya al
so the Clearfield Republican ;
Just you hold on until all the
tax receipts are counted, and the bribes
and other frauds are uncovered that
have been perpetrated in this district
by the Cameron agents, and we will see
who will be Congressman.
If the question, "Which is the thieves
organ," were submitted to the board of
county commissioners, there would be a
unanimousopinion that would not please
the Watchman.
The Watchman, once democratic,
now half radical and Cameron, still puts
in sly digs st Curtin and nice puffs for
Yocutn. Its favor for Yocurn springs
from the fact that he has no democracv
in him, while the great war governor has
six years of earnest labor for the demo
cratic party to his credit. This is not
the first time Meek betrayed his party.
The war between Afghanistan and
England has commenced, and some
fighting has been done. The British
troops attacked Fort Ali Mosjid, and
there was a short but spirited conflict.
The Afghans evacuated the Fort by
night and the English took possession.
On the side of the English there were
30f> killed and wounded.
The total number of privets bankers
and banking institutions in the Inited
• States other than national banks for the
six months ending May 31 last, as shown
by the semi-annual returns made to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, was
4,400, with $200,380,000 of capital and
$1.242.790,000 of deposits. On June 29,
IS7S,there were 2,056 national banks in
operation, with a capital of $470,390,000,
not including sorptas, or greatly more
than doable the capiuß of the private
banks. The surplus of the national
banks amoanted in addition to more
than $118,000,000, while tbeir_depoeits
were at the date named $677,150 000;
Savings banks, 668£n number, having no
capital stock, held at the same period
$803,290,000 of depoaita, so that the total
deposits in ali banks and banking insti
tutions in June last averaged over $2,-
723.230,000. Daring the past year twen
ty-eight national banks have been or
ganized, having an authorized capital of
$2,775,000 and $1,598,800 of circulating
notes. Fifteen banks have failed and
forty-one have discontinued during the
year, withdrawing capital to the amount
of $7,912,000. The amount of surplus
held by the national banka on June 1 of
the present year was $118,178,000, which
was a decrease of $3,389,000 since De
cember 31,1877. The maximum surplus
was reached in June, 1875, when the to
tal was $133,169,000, and there has been
a steady decrease since, amounting in
the aggregate np to June last to about
$15,000,000.
That denial of the Bite Sand/ briber/,
Gray, is too thin, and too late now. Two
years has the affidavit hung on the re
cord, and no denial of yours, or by your
attorney ever appeared. Any one who
doubts, go to the courtbonse and see the
record, and then decide—the Reporter
is always careful to state only facts. For
the good of the democratic party, and
for the wish we hare always cherished
that your record be untarnished, it would
afford ns great pleasure to know that it
is not true. But that affidavit—it is
a nasty thing.
Some of our radical exchanges are
making ugly mouths at the Reporter be
cause we said that Yocum's majority
should not stand if it could be proven
fraudulent. This comes with a bad grace I
from the fellows who stole the presiden
cy, stole states, and ousted eyery demo
crat in Congress, whose seat was eon
tested by a rad, until they stole a two
thirds. We would ask nothingas against
Yocum but what can be fairly and hon
estly proven.

In the result of the recent election in
this state, there is not so mttch for the
republicans to cackle over. Hoyt is a
minority governor to the tune of about
00,000! In the legislature the rails have
fallen off considerably as compared with
last year, and if the state were not jerry
mandered in the interest of the rsds,
there would be no show at all for Don
Cameron being re-elected to the V. >■
senate.
The next slate legislature will stand *•
follows according to returns received
from eeery district:
Senate, republicans democrats t.,
greenback-democrats 1. greenback era
O
House, republicans 107, democrats .8,
greenbackera 15.
The republican majority over demo
orals and greenbackers in both branches
of the legislature is 27. l ast year their
majority on joint lallot was 51, 14 great
er than now.
KILUITQ KiNQS.
There seems to be a mania among a
certain class in Europe to kill kings.
This is pretty big game, but about as
risky to tackle as a Hockey mountain
gristly, l ast week we mentioned the
attempt upon the life of Humbert king
of Italy, which faded however, as did
that some time sgo upon the life of
William of Prussia.
A despatch from Berlin saya a gener
al belief prevails there in the existence
of s widespread International plot
against the lives of the leading sover
eigns of Europe. Among the people the
feeling is almost that of terror. Many
distinguiahed men have urged upon the
government the necessity of strengthen
ing the guards st the royal palace. The
Emperor William and Crown Prince
Frederick William are implored to ob-
I serve the greatest precautions.
HAYES TRIES TO PROTECT
SUA Mr.
In the U.S. Court at Indianapolis, in
a case of smbextletnent in the Ist Nat
Rank of that city, the foreman of ths
grand jury came into court and reported
that Prtwident Hayes had instructed ths
l\ 8. district attornev not to prosecute
the prisoner, and that tbf>' had been re
quested to investigate lii* ui*tt*r, nd
desired to know from theeourt whether
it was their duty to proceed with the
case, uhij instructions of Mr. llsyes to
the district attorney to the contrary not
withstanding ; whereujWß Judge Gra
ham charged them that they wereUuod
"to respect their oaths, and that they
could not if they would escape the obli
gation of this oath by heeding the in
structions of Mr. Hayes in this purlieu-
Isrcwse. Mr. Hayes may, if he feels so
inclined, interfere even in advance of
indictment by exerciaing the pardoning
power. In no other way has he ths
slightest authority to control your action.
He has it in his power to pardon the
alleged offender, and unless he is will
ing to take the responsibility he has no
more right to control than the rtar of
Russia. If you believed Mr. Hayes' in
structions to the district attorney were
intended to prevent you from making
the fullest examination into the matter
before you and from returning an indict
meat against the accused if the evidence
•honld warrant it, you should feel in
spired with additional determination to
do your duty. The moment the execu
ive is allowed to control the action of
ths court in the administration of crimi
nal justice their independence is gone.'
The Harnsbarg Patriot speaking of
congressional contest in this district,
says :
Gov. Cdrtin'a large vote disposes of
the assertion that hie renominstion was
obnoxious to the democracy of the dis
trict which is now so freely made by the
prophets after the fact. The democr*
ey of the district have evinced their
liberal spirit too often to justify the
charge that has been made against them.
The present member of congress from
the district had, when nominated and
elected, no older record as a democrat
than that of Gov. Curtin. He was scarce
ly recognited as a democrat when he
was taken up and elected by the largest
majority ever given in the district. This
is sufficient to relieve its democracy
from the charge of Bourbon ism. It is no
disparagement to Mr. s!ackey to say
that his popularity and influence in the
district were never on a level with Gov.
Cartin's, yet he was elected by an im
mense majority, while Gov. Curtin, un
der essentially different conditions, is
defe 'ted.
When Gov. Cartin returned from Eu
rope in 1872, abandoning high position
to espouse the cause of ths democracy,
and was nominated for a member at
large to the constitutional convention
after the gracefil withdrawal of Gor.
Bigler, he stood highest on the list of
candidates, receiving the full democrat
ic vote of the state with the vote of a
considerable number of republicans. In
the constitutional convention he was re
cognized as a democrat, acting and vot
ing with Mr. Buckalewand other demo
cratic leaders to secure the political re
forms which the people of the state now
enjoy. There has been nothing since
then in the career of Gov. Cartin that
has lost for him in the slightest degree
the confidence and respect of the demo
crats of Pennsylvania. In 1875 be sup
ported Judge Pershing for governor. In
1876 he took an active part in the cam
paign for Tilden and Hendricks, con
tributing greatly to the success of the
democracy in Indiana by his eloquent
speeches. In 1877 he supported Noyea
andTrunkey. This consistent record of
democratic service was recognized by
his nomination for congress. He was
defeated by a dishonest combination of
republicans and greenbackers in favor
of a "fiat money" candidate aided by a
handful of false and corrupt democrats
who were bent on ruin because they
were not permitted to rule. The true
and generous dero ocracy of the district
heartily supported Gov. CurtiD, as the
returns of the election demonstrate. The
assertion that his person or his opinions
were obnoxious to the democrats of the
district is the shabbiest of fslse preten
ses.
BULLDOZING HORTH AS WELL AS
SOUTH.
From the Hartford (Conn.) Times.
But how is it at the North? At our
last election the agents, book-keepers
and proprietors of factories were at the
polls to intimidate workingmen. It was
so all over the Bute. Do ,T both parties"
disapprove of this infamous business?
If so, why don't the Republicans who
practice it put a stop to it? Intimida
tion and bribery are practiced at the
North, and thousands of voters have
seen and felt the one and many have
been tempted by the other utilawfui
practice. We think this wholesale in
timidation has 'not been discussed
enough nor received attention enough
At the North.

says the Memphis Appeal.

THE PR FA OFTHE SOI.W SOUTH.
' From the Charleston Hew# and Courier,
Dem.
The South ia ready to be judged by
her actions. The South is not witling
to be judged by the fears of her friends
or the hopes of her foes. Before the
uext general election shall take pfcee,
ihe South aud the Union will have had
two years' experience of the solid South.
The events of these year* will demon*
■ sflrau*. fijeta alone can, that the solid
, South means good order, absolute free
dom, justice and respect for the rights of
all classes in the South, and, so lur as
the solid South can accomplish it, con
> cord, peace, honor aud public and pm
vale faith for the whole American Union.
For this the people of South Carolina
' strive aud labor; but they and the peo
of every other Southern State will find
f their difficulties increased a thousand
fold by auv conduct in the North that
wij) warrant the idea that the South is
not wanted, nd that her best efforts for
r the highest pu/po<M we pisjodged and
even treated a# crime*, fcnoi conyic
, lion wiil make it difficult "to enture do
mesne tranquility" and "secure the
r blessing* of liberty to ourselves and our

"against the Camerons, and will have

The boundary question between Chill

sequence of a published article favoring
the Argentine claim. Eighty people

been attacked, the two attempts of Iloedel

at least a quarter of a century. Within
the past fourteen years Presidents of re

A ruin, accidentally discovered by A.
l>. Wilson of the Hayden Survey seve
ral years ago, while he was pursuing his 1
labors as chief of the topographical corps i
in Southern Oolorado, is described tome \
by Mr. Wilaon as a atone building, about ,
the sirs of the Patent-Office. ft stood t
u|h>ii the lmnk of the Animas, iu the San ]
Juan country, and contained jx-rliap*
Ave hundrsd rooms. Tlis roof and por-j'
lions of tiis walls had fallen, but the part ■
standing indicated a height of four ato-ji
riea. A number of the rooms were fair-:,
ly preserved, had small loop-hols win (
dows, but no outer doors. The building
iiad doubtless been entered originally
by means of ladders resting on niches, 4
and drawn in after the occupants. The 1
floors were of cedar, each log as large
around as a man's head, the spaces till* ,
ei neatly by smaller poles aud twigs, 11
covered by a carpet of cedar-bark. The
ends of the titular were bruissd and 1
frayed, as if severed by a dull instrument
in the vicinity were sums hatchets, aud •
saws made of sand-atone slivers about c
two feet long, worn to a smooth edge A
tew hundred yards from ths mammoth t
building was a second large house in ,
ruins, and between the two strongholds

stones laid to adobe, and arranged along 1
streets, after the style of the Village of I

of this deserted town are overgrown by '
juniper and pinon,—-the latter a dwarf I

licath lilt scale* of its cones delicious,,
and nutritious nuts. From the sise off,
the dead, as well as the living, trees, (
and from their puattion on the heat* of
crumbling stone, Mr. Wilson concludes
that a great period of time has elspaed
since the buildings fell. How many 1
hundred years they stood after desertion
before yieldiug to tbe inroadt of time
cannot be certainly known.
Thn prwrnuoe of sound wood in the
houses does not set aside their antiquity.
In tho dry, pure air of Boutbern Colo-; :
rado, wood fairly protected will last for
centuries. In Asia cedar-wood has been
kept a thousand years, and in Egypt
cedar it known to have been in perfect
preservation two thousand years after it
left the forest. The cedars throughout
the territories of the southwest do not
rot, even in the groves. They iUe, and
stand erect, solid and sapieaa. The
winds and whirling sands carve the
dead trees into forms of fantastic beauty

at hide-and-go-seek in the perforated
limbs until, after ages of resistance, they

On the iiio ban Juan, about twenty

solemnly in <be twilight near their

was weird in the extreme. Aa the moon
arose, the shadows of the phantom
buildings were thrown darkly across the

the tiny tenia, the negro cook, the men
in buckskin hunting garb, and the
picketed mulee, made a strange picture
of the summer'a night, with background
' of moonlit desert and crumbling ruins,

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A correspondent of the New York
Eveniog Post writes as follows: "In con-i
versalion with a;, eminent scientific gon-l
' tieman, who is an intimateperronal friend
of the inventor Edison, I learnod a num
ber of interesting facts bearing on tbe fu
ture of tbe much discussed electric light.
' My informant, who has just returned
' from a visit be Menlo park, asrursd me
1 that tho light was eutiroiy ready for in*
r troduction into general ute, and that the
cempany was simply waiting for the Eu
ropean patents, which tbe English solici
tor has just telegraphed them will not be
ready under twenty days. Tbo apparatus
is standing complete in Edison's workshop
and I am assured gives a soft, beautiful
light of the same strength aa gas. Tbe
question of relative expense is, of course,
yet somewhat a speculative one, but the
highest estimate make* the cost one-half
that of gas. In answer to my Inquiry how
this revolution would effect gas stocks,
iny informant thought that, while gas
must ultimately go out of use, the enor
mous existing plant of gas and the great
interest involved would for a long time
contest the ciaiau of tbe new light lo pop
ular favor. He though the gas plant
eould not be used to any consideaaLJi ex- ;
tent in distributing the electric light, bull j
that this work must be practically done de i
novo, as it would cost as much lo adapt I
the gasprttvis and jeta lo electricity as to ]
supply new apparatus. Edison'a jet, ho j
says, is very neat, and ail i&t contriran- <
ces are simple. Evan at the sa aiecoi*. j
greater, the electric light will be profora- t
bio. Jn iu use there will be a less expen- ,
sive plant, and there will be an absence of 4
heat and danger, while the running ex- •
pensss will be insignificant Tbe attempt #
to anticipate his light by a rival company
doe. not ruffle bim in the least, as he is ,
confident of the superiority of his invan
[ tion, and, moreover, the two companies <
will occupy ratbor different fields."
VOLCANOES IN ACTION.
Imloo at:i Hantn Ann Emitting
lerrifyiug Streams of Aslici nml
Fire.
I'anaina, Nov. 7.- Advices from Salva
dor >ay that the volcanoes of Trlc<> and
Santa Ana are in a slate of tremendous
activity. On the latter, from four or five
distinct openings, fire, smoke and ashes
are pouring forth in vast volumes. It l
not known that these are distinct, hut
they are supposed to ho apertures in tin
old crater of the volcano, which has been
silent lor some years. For miles around
ashes are falling almost perceptibly, and
the air it filled with smoke, darkening the
day and making the seenr gloomy and tor
rifying The inhabitants in the neigh
boring villages are alarmed, and tome
have fled In terror. Whole cctnmumtiee
ere seriously contemplating removal to
more secure localities !S far no lava has
descended from the mouutains, although
that it a usual accompaniment of erup
tiens of the laalco, and no unusual shocks
of earthquake have added to the genera!
fright.
The intelligence of the severe earth
quake In the southern part of tho Repub
lic is fuily confirmed. The destruction
appears to have been complete end the
loss of life arid property ia great. The
Government and public generally have
contributed largely to the general relief
Supplies of provisions, clothing, money,
Ac., have been forwarded from tho capi
tal, and the Government has issued orders
for the construction of temporary dwell
ings for the homeless and distressed peo
ple.
A severe earthquake w*i telt in Mani
rales, the capital o: the State of A ntloqula
on Oct. V One hundred and twenty one
houses wsre destroyed, including the
church, the hospital, the principal school,
the city buildings, and many otters For
tunately no lives were lost, as the shock
was long sustained arid the principal force
was at its termination. The damage done
will exceed SIUO.UUO.

Sullivan, lad., November 21 A terri

The scene beggars description. Then

great that it is impossible at tbis time tot

i RAFFLING AT CHURCH FAIR*
{ A li, cly contreversv has sprung uo in
! the jouroals as lo ybcUer the 'raffling
system" at cburcb feirs is not "immoral''
:as well as "illegal." The clergy of differ
ent denominations aie also tekiug a band
in it, but without agreement. Thus, whilej
Rev. Father McGlynn, paster ef St.
Stephens (Roman Catholic) church, takes
the position that "gambling," strictly
speaking, is no sin, tkougb it may be con
I trary to human law, Bov. Mr. Grcor, of
j St Timothys (Episcopal) church, on the
other band, is out with a card cbaracterin-'
j ing this view of tbe case as "extraordina
ry." lie also quotes authorities to sbow
1 sbai the Apostles shosc Maßbies bye very
' different process from the "raffling" now;
iin vogue. The discussion threatens in '
definite extension. All tbis apropos of the
games of chance at Ike Cathedral Fair.
