These distinguished gentlemen settle the slanders that for years have been retail ed against Buchanan's loyalty. They were his advisers during that trying pe- riod and know whereof they speak. . A whole family becoming insane is an unusual bit of news that we see in our exchanges, A special to the Times from Dabuque, Ia, August 30, says: “A family has be- come insage in this county throogh grief and death. Mary McMahon, the daugh- ter of a farmer, entered & convent two weeks ago and became insane, She was sent to the asylum at Independence for treatment. Her mother visited her and also became insane. The daughter died last Monday, which so effected the moth- er that she died to-day. The remains of both mother and daughter were sent home for burial, Arriving at Farley, near which place the McMahons lived, a son and a daughter became insane at the sight of their mother and sister coming home dead, and the father is now stricken with grief bordering upon insanity.” -—-—s From all over the country comes the cry of distress on account of the late drouth. In Lancester county the unpre cedent drouth has resulted in the failure of two-thirds of the tobacco crop, entail ing a loss in the county of over a million In neighboring counties, where the same atmospheric conditions exis ted, the loss will be much more. Some of the early planted tobacco escaped the dry spell and matured well, but this has slready been purchased by New York buyers, most of it while still growing in the fields. Larger prices have ruled this year than haye ever before been paid. It is believed that the remainder of the crop will only be available for fillers. Dispatches from Eldorado, Illinois, Wabash, Ind, Battle Creek, Mich., and other places in that section, complain of great loss to the crops by drouth Pastures are dried up, and no ground broken for wheat. In several places farmers are hauling water from a dis- tance for their stock. ama hp INSANE REGARDING THE PRESI- DENTS INJURY There are still crazy fellows about, who are bothering the President. They are republicans, of course, like Guitean. Some want to kill and some want to heal. Below are the two latest instances: Washington, Auvgust 30.—The police to-day arrested another “crank” at the White House gate. He was a colored man, manifestly insane, He was bent upon a mission to kill every man who was not a Garfield man, and he had a large tin can into which he proposed to place their heads, He wasarrested with out resistance. New York, August 30.—A physician named Israel Rosefeld was charged with insanity in the Essex Market Police Court this morning. He was under the delusion that he bad prescribed medi- cines for President Garfield and that the attending physicians and surgeons had failed to administer them to the sick man. He was sent to the Tombs phy- sicians for medical examination. enn <p Ap ie THE STORE ORDER BILL. The Store-order bill which we prin- ted in last week's REeporTER isto be whipped around the stump or evaded, as will be seen by a despatch from Union town, Pa., which says: After protracted deliberations among themselves and counsel from leading lawyers the coke operators of this region have finally agreed upon a method by which they expect to evade the require- ments of Senator Schnatterly's Store Or- der bill, that takes effect September 1. Operators who own the company stores will furnish their employes with small @ccount books, on the front page of which appears the following printed state. ment :— The merchandise, cash, &c., charged in this book are taken in payment of wages due, by John Doe & Co, to Rich- ard Roe, The space for the signature of Richard Roe, the employe, is left vacant until he signes his own name in it, When signed the statement becomes a contract in which the employe agrees to take mer- chandise for his wages, the very thing designed to be prevented by the store order hill. No goods are to be sold un- less the employe presents his book. A test case will doubtless be made soon, as dollars, fitionality of the law. to election the Senate as seems will organize them best, probably the of a Republican president pro Democratic Burch.

A large section of the Republican party of that State made the charges and a grand jury has acted on it by indicting various par- ties for bribery in connection with the election, Certainly this calls for inves- tigation. Whether, in the meantime, Miller and Lapham will be allowed to take their seats is to be détermined by established bribery and not of courtesy, “Republican demands on Demoeratic courtesy should hereafter be | honored, as we have stated oa the rule of reciprocity.

Concession and courtesy carried to an ex- treme, with an entire absence of recip- rocity, are likely to raise these identical questions, It is “rue they do not suggest the real facts, but are nevertheless de- moralizing in a party view.” Concession rnd wonid COnCes- mmm Both the Republican and Democratic Conventions of Blair county have nom- inated Hon. John Dean for President Judge, The same action was taken in the Huntingdon county conventions, thus giving him the unanimous indorse- ment for the judicial district.

But he has not suggested that these works comprom~ ised his safety, nor has he made any re- quest that additional supplies or reinforce ments should be sent to him. On the cons trary, on the thirtieth of January, 1861, in a letter to this department, he uses this emphatic language: *I1 do hope that no attempt will be made by our friendsto throw supplies in; their doing so would do more harm than good.” On the fifthjof February when referring to the batteries, ete., constructed in this vicinity, he said: “Even in their present condition they will make it impossible for any hostile force, other than a large and well appointed one, to enter this harbor, and the chances are that it will beats great sacrifice of life;"” and in a postscript he nade: Of course, in speaking of forcing an entrance, I do not refer to the stratagem of an small party shipping in. gestion of a stratagem was well considers the information that could be obtained upon it, and in consequence of the vigilance and number of the guard boats in and outside of the harbor it was rejected as impractis to '" ' This sug- ed in connection with all bearing cable, In view of these very distinct declaras tions and of the earnest desire to avoid a collision as long as possible, it was deemed entirely safe to adhere to the line of policy indicated in my letter of the sixteenth January, which has already been quoted. In that Major Anderson has been request. ed to report ‘at whenever, in his judgment, additional or rein- forcements were necessary for his safety or for a successful defense of the fort.” So long, therefore, ag he remained silent upon this point the government felt that there was no ground for apprehension.

The Senator says: “Every sensible! man knows that the most violent opposi tion would be encountered by any man or) body who should attempt to overturn the! measures or to change the policy of the) Administration so far as it has been map: ped out by President Garfield. None but a crazy man would attempt it. He would be balked atthe vory first step. He could do nothing without the sanction or co-op eration of the Senate. There he would run against the solid strength of the thir ty~eight Democratic Senators, and fully twenty five of the thirty-eight Republis cans.’ Such being the yielding disposition of the Democrats on questions of broad nas tional policy, it is very likely that they will ask that the clerical force be main. tained in its present mixed character, the Republicans keeping ithe committee or- ganization and they the patronage of the offices of the Secretary and Sergeant ats Arms. Nor would such a position be unreason- able. If they consent, though cqual or superior in numerical strength, to the election of a Repulbican to fill the vacan cy caused by Arthur's elevation to the Presidency, they can demand with pros priety that the vacancy caused by the death of Fecretary Birch be filled by a successor of the same political allegiance. pn isi s— ACRY OF AMAD DOG BREAKING UP A CAMP MEETING. Stamford, Conn., August 20 —The col- cred camp meeting in Woodside Park, Stamford, was suddenly broken up on Sunday afternoon. The colored people of this vicinity have been holding a meet. ing in the park for a week or more, un. der the direction of the Rev, Mr, Polland, a colored Evangelist, assisted by a band of jubilee singers. fSunday is the great day for these oamp meetings. There must have been 2.000 people on the grounds, under the large tent, attending service on Sunday afternoon, Suddenly the ery of a mad dog was heard, It was instantly taken up by an excited throng, and all was confused. Men tumbled over chairs and benches, women shrieked, and all made a wild rush from the grounds. It was in vain that an effort was made to quiet the excited throng. The spot was soon cleared as though by magic. Wheth or there was a mad dog about or not no one seems to know, and many are inclin. ed to beliove it was a hoay., Services were held as usual in the evening. so. fp Ap - L OF HENDRICK B.
