ILLRYLAWS POLITIIIi..
; •
Last week We 'gave the.membeFs of the
Maxyla,miConstitutlonal Contention to.
Much credit. We said that, after debate,
they had voted into their Constitution a
clause recognizing . -tolored persons as
competent, to appear as witnesses in
Court. This was true ; hut they after
wards grew affright at iheir boldness,
• I.
reconsidered , their action . ; and `referred
the whole subject' to the - legislature of the
State. The last Legi s lature, a few weeks
agirdefeated a bill for this very purpose,
mainly-upon the ground that the Consti
tutional Convention, soon to meet, could
more properly effect it. Thus these em
bittered, defeated, rebellious men, whose
souls are full of poison and hate, contin
ue their petty otchemings to thwart na
tional legislation, assert the explixied
follies of the Slave era, and check the
inevitable growth of liberty.
Several circumstances have illustrated
the true character of these men. they.
refused, on. meeting,._to take the Oath of
Office prescribed for them by the existing
Constitution, because some of them could
not hohestly swear they had not aided
the rebellion ;:and they substituted a new
oath which conveniently,onaittitl all refer
ence to the past, and only required prom-.
ises for the future—gladly taking this for
office and power's sake, as they.had often
done before, mentally reserving the sigh
to breikit wheieyer expediency required
They have insulted.khe nation by a pre,
tentious re-assertion,
of the worst dogmas
haye incorporated into
the de-nationalizing an,
ries so prevalent beft
which have been generally conceded to
have been settled by the war, adversely
to the theories. They have connived at
the denial of the Constitutionality of the
Emancipation decreed by the people of
the United States ; and have encouraged
the hope that Slavery might beore-eStab
lished, or, that failing, that the; Govern
ment would tax the resources of the Na
tion for the payment of those , %vtio snf
fered bObe overthrow of the "domestic
institutionvhich had become literally
a nursery for Traitors. They are opening
the elective franchise to every Traitor
who left the. State, joined the armies of
Jen' Davis, and bathed his hands in the
blood of{ men who were faithful to the
flag, the Constitution, and the Nation ;
and e meanly denying it to thousands of
colored persons_who either served in the
armies of the Union, or gave "aid and
comfort" thereto. And this, for the char
acteristic reason, as given= by one of their
number, that "they could'inot enfranchise
the negro in Maryland, as to do so would
be to give control of UP. State to the Rad
icals.", They have missed no oppoctu
;
nity to try to wipe out the record of Ma
ryland's loyalty throughout the war, and
to flaunt their sympathy witn that "Lost
Cause," Which embodied the most hate
ful purposes for which men ever 4ought,
and his gone to its grave beating the Ai
tempt of every liberal spirit who treads
the earth.
These are the men whom Gov. y 5 wan n's
.unparilleled baseness has thrown, for the
moment, into the control of public affairs
in Maryland. We observe that, in def.
erence to- Gov. Swann, they have con
cluded not to. I.4!urb his tenure of office.
This is meet. Let Aim count his thirty
pieces of silver, till lils-..kmr years have
expired. Afterwards, he willhave time
to hang himself.
This despicable Convention cc>ii
among its membership scarcely one per-,
son known during the war as a Union
man. All .were sympathizers with the
Ind many of them so pub
licly, that they were seized by the Gov
ernment and confined that they :might
be harmless. To-day, they are the gov
erning power in the State of Maryland.
Hut their power will be :temporary.
Already, the Baltimore corre'spondent of
the Charleston .114curg sees the signs of
the coming of the day of wrath. Wire
it shall come, - Treason shall no longer be
respectable in Maryland ; Traitors shall
no longer rule it ; and Maryland,
a "republican form of government,"*ill
resume her olden and honored place
among her sisters.
tfiii - The•Republkans of Beaver county
have nominated.one of the best men in
the State—THoAtAi4 Nicit oLS()).1 Esq.,
for Assembly. It, Is gratifying Co see a
disposition manifested by the people to
improve the character of our State Le_
gislature by' the nomination of upright
and able men, who have been TESTED
and PROVED to be beyondot he corrupting
influences which have sadly demoralized
legislation.
Purity in the legislator is as indispen- s
sable as intelligence. in the elector; and
uo goverament can be considered stable
in which unprincipled men are permit
ted to wield the vast powers which are
lodged In the hands of law-makers.

HON. JAMES K. MOORHEAD, who has
for several Congresses represented one of
the Allegheny districts, has formally an
nounced his purpose not to be a candi
'date for re-election. General Moorhead
has devoted hintself to his public duties
with a zeal and assiduity whiciiihave.von
the respect of all his colleagues ; and he
has serve:this constituents intelligently,
-faithfully,-and well. His term of-service
covers the,most interesting period of our
history ; and his record is one of which
be and his children may well be proud.
The respect of the citizens of the State,
as well as the hike of his immediate con
'stituency, will follow the General in his
voluntary retirement from the cares and
trials , of public life.
THE Raleigh Standard says that the
effect of .F!reaidont k JOHNSON'S visit to
Nprth Carolina has been to encourage the
spirit of Itebelliim ; and that the enemies
of our Cloverntrient are more exultant
and defiant t h an they have heretofore
been.
In other wordsi the President has in
fused into his North Carolina friends,
somewhat •of 44 bitterness 'which in
flames his oilieheart. The Country last
year survived his trip to' Chicago. It

notwithstanding his trip to Raleigh.

There were over eighteen thousand

eight thousand were blacks. The Dem

that they know their friends from their

universal suffrage is established, it turns
out that Lids party was really a minority
in both Cities.
Many of the-Democrats in the Northern
States affect great horror .at the colored
men being allowed to vote. They were
fit to light the littels in the field ; they
were fit to go as stibstitutes for men who
had no taste for the perils of battle; they
were fit to help save a NatiOn'threatened
with overthrow. 'But now that the Na
tion has been saved and the men of the
Rebel armies have laid aside the bullet
and have resumed the power of the ballot,
it is asserted that we ought not to give
these faithful colored men an opportutity
of meeting at the ballot-bOx the Rebel
soldiers whom - they met on the battle
field. It is insisted that we ought,
rather, to trust our interests and fortunes
to our-defeated enemies; and punish with
perpotUal disfranchisement andliumilia
tion the men who helped, at our urgent
call, to work out, our safely.
In the Sot 4, Democrats act differently.
They an , endeavoring., by all the means
in their power, to capture the votes of the
colo:•ed citizen's They have employed
Beverly Nash and other colored speakers
to stu mp South Carolina and other South
ern States in their interest ; and at this
moment, the ctief aim of the Southern
wing of the Dernoeratic party is to concil
iate to their idea/5 the colored population.

was sent by his master to a frienthirith a

at a tavern by the way, had the pig taken--
out and a puppy put in its plate, and who,

On the 6th, an attempt was made to assas

back from the grand review with the Emperor
Napoleon. In the Imperial carriage at the
time were the Czar, his two sons, and the Em
peror of France.. The attempt was made while
they were returning through the Bois de Bou
logne. A young man about twenty years of
age fired a pistol at the Char. It would seem
that the pistol was overloaded, and exploded,
wounding the band of the assassin. It is said
sa bystander threw upthe';arm of the wretch as
he fired the pistol, andthat he was inptantly
cut down by the escort, and made a prisoner,
severely woluled,- The Imperial carriage
passed on without halting. It is supposed the
villain is a Pole, for just previous to the at
tempt cries of " Vies la Polonge !" were
heard. The I#lperial party escaped injury.—
A thousand r#mors are in circulation, apd
there is great ec.citetnent in Paris. No further
facts are positi4ely known than the attempted
assassination, the eseape of the Czar, and the
seizure of the assassin. The Czar will receive
universal congratulations. This is his second
sesc.ape from assassination.
ADDITIOSAL PARTICULAItS.
Piknis, June 7,—A. 31.—The Moniteur
publishes au official account of the firing at
the Imperial carriage, in which the Czar of
Russia and‘,Napolean were seated, and the at
tempted assassination of the Czar. The state
ment, which is' - very abort, confirms the re
port transmitted through the cable yesterday
morning. It is statel in the ifoniteur that
the hall struck the fiend of the horse which
carried one of the Imperial grooms in waiting,
who was riding at the door of the carriage,
and that 110 wttapon burst... The people in
the crowd standing near the scene of the at
tempt arrested the assassin, and the police in
terti!red to save his life, which was threatened
by the enraged populace. The man says his
name is I3eregouski, and that he is a native of
Volliyuia. Le Droit, in its issue, confirms
the statement that the pistol burst, and says
the assassin is a Polish mechanic, and that he
purehased a double-barrelled pistol in - le city
on Wednesday, June 5. The newspapers also
- states that his motive appears to have origina
ted from personal hatred to the Czar, directed
by political passion. It is believed that the
asssassin had no accomplices.
.—P. 3L—The riazette des
that the groom in waiting,
y the door of the Imperial
g_al.,the menacing movement
of the man in the cr , v4.land instantly caused
his horse to bound a little.forward, so as to
place him directly betwee An and
the sovereigns. The ball ugh the
space formed bet weeneNapoleon and'une of
the Grand Dukes, son of the Czar, woundins
a lady who was standing. opposite to see the
cortege pass. The blood front the head of the
groom's horse spirted on the uniforms 'of the
imperial party. The man attempted to fire a
second shot, but this discharge burst the se
cond barrel of his pistol. At this moment
shouts of `' Vire C Etapereurr and Vice le
Crf tr!" went up from the crowd. The man
immediately on his arrest said lie came from
Belgium two days since with the intention
and for the purpose of killing the Czar. The
Paris ,S'ire/e, in its account of the affair, says
that the man himself states that he had nose
complices. The press of Paris is unanimous
in its condemnation of the murderous attempt.
Pasts, June 7.—Evening.—lt is said that
after the attempt upon the life of the Emperor
of Russia, Napoleon, turning to the Czar and
smiling said : "Sire, we have been under tire
together." The Czar replied : "Our destinies
are in the hands of Providence." A letter,
signed by several Poles, expressing the sorrow
and reprobation that the dastardly act inspires
in the minds of a'.l Poles, and a similar letter
from General Samoyski, have been published.
Some of the Czar's suite have adviSed his re
turn at once to Russia. but he said he would
not. The assassin was examined to-day.—
He spoke with coolness, and gave his history.
He is a Pole, an instrument maker, and has
lite(' latterly on his savings and on money
given to - the Polish refugees. He was asked,
"How could'you fire at a sovereign, the guest
if France, trim nourished you ?' He replied
with tears, "True, I committed a great crime
oward France."
"But you ran the risk of killing Napoleon
. -
To this the prisoner answered "No; a. Pol
kJ,' bullet could not go astray. It must go
Arcklit when aimed at the Czar. I wished
to relic the world of the Czar and the Czar
of the reinOrse ... which must weigh upon him."
The prisoner,4otred no sorrow for the
crime he had attempted to commit, and only
expressed regret at hisl'ailre. The grand re
view was the most brilliant - eKe , r witnessed in
France. Over 80,000 infantry, `cavalry and
artillery passed in review. Napoleon•vas ac
cornpanied;ythe Czar, the kill. of Pr e,,

Alexander and Waldimer of Russia, the sons
of the Czar, together with a large and briliant
staff composed of officers from all nations, a

party arrived on the field at 2 o'clock The
day was pleasant. 400,000 spectators, it Is
estimated,, were present. The toilettes of the
ladies were splendid, and the equipages were
magnificent. The Empresk witnessed the re
view from the Imperial box at Longchamps.
With her were the Grand Duchess Marie of
Russia, the Princess Royal Victoria of Prussia,
the Prince Imperial and the mother of the
Tycoon of Japan: All were in good health
and fine spirits. The enthusiasm was intense.

ADOIVONAL PARVIdULASB OF THE 4FAIII.
ALBLITT, June 4, 1667.—The man (who shot
Hon. L. Harris Hiseock is General Cole, a
lumber dealer, of fiyilcuse, New York. A
-bout half past eight Hiscock was standing in
the large reception room of the hotel, near the
clerk's desk, in his slippers. Cole, who was
sitting near by, rose, and approaching His
cock, made some remark, which was not dis
tinctly overheard by those near by, and im
mediately thereafter drew a small pistol, and
presenting it at his had, fired, the.bail enter
ing near the right eye. Hiscock fell back
senseless, the wound 'bleeding profusely. He
expired within thirty minutes after the shoot
ing. Cole remarked that Hiscock • had been
his best friend, but,i that while he (Cole) was
in the army, where he rose to the grade of
general in the cavalry service, he had raped
his wife, and added, 4 `.1 have the evidence now
in my pocket." He quietly awaiteh the com
ing of the police, and 'was conveyed to the
Third district station-house.
Cole is a tall, fine looking man, as was His
cock, who was, however, larger and heavier.
ALBANY. June s.—The murder of fast night
is still the prominent topic of conversation.—
Opinions are divided as to the justification of
the act, but arnong the members of the Con
vention the sympathy is almost whollo , with
Mr. Ifiscock.„ Ilis character in the past is
said by those who . kho w him best to be free
from any stain, nor has rumor ever pointed at
him. In the Convention this morning the
Hon. Martin J. Townsend, of Troy, obarac
terized the act as an assassination, "thought it
9:ie duty of the Convention, as the molders
andiapholders of the law, to call murder by its
right name.
Although the prisoner was much excited
last evening, he fo-cla r y , appeays cool and ,:ol
leeted. lie does not regret the act nor his
bwn suffering, but lab:lents the publicity and
shame- which it must bring upon his wife,
whom he describes as a high-spirited woman.
The wife of the prisoner and her brother-in
law, John L. Cuyler,', arrived
. here Yesterday
afternoon, from Syracuse, at 4i, Mrs. Cole
taking room No. 165,; and Mr. Cuyler room
No. b;; Delavan House, They were,on their
way to Brooklyn. h. Cole arrived at the
hotel at f; o'clock, but from whence Was not
known to the clerk. The time of the 'arrival
ould indicate the Ncvv York train. Ile did
not exhibit any excitement. He prefixed the
name "Dr. and" before the name of his wife
on the re.fiiter, and called for a double room,
the one engaged by his wife being a single
one. He subsequently, however, sent word
down that the one ahleady secured would an
swer.
There seems but little doubt that the murder
was premeditated. !got only was Cole heavi
ly armed, but one fact which did not transpire
at the Coroner's inquest adds to this belief.--
tpon returning to Sttinwix Hall on Tbesdff
evening, after the draWing for seats, M. His
cock found mnote for him from a lady, , making
an appointment to meet him. He mentioned
it to a friend, remarking that it was tcio late
to keep the appointment when he received the
note. This was less than half an hour previ
ous to the murder, and it is asserted that Mrs.
Cole was the writer.
Later developments tend to show that Mrs.
Cole came oil to Albany to warn HiscOck of
her hubsandis intention to kill him, and sent
him a note which arrived too late to be of
service in making an appointment to meet
him.
Frank Hiscock, a brother of the deceased,
arrive here early this morning from Syracuse,
and with a number ot ✓ friends will return in
the 1.15 P. M. train with the remains, which
have been packed in ice. Mrs. Cole telegraph
ed to San Francisco last night to her husband's
brother, the United States Senator from Cali
fornia. This morning she visited her husband
in jail. Between 9 aiid 10 o'clock Gen. Cole
sent for ex-Lientenant-Governor Sanford E.
Church and William J. Hadley, the t well
known criminal lawyer of this city, arfd they
made a brief visit profesitionally. •
June 8, the prisoner was committed to
answer the charge of murder.
UNIVERSAL SCFFRAGO. IN .11.ANSA.S. —The his
tory of the movement for universal suffrage
in Kansas is briefly as follows : The Legisla

second, to strike ; out the word "male,"
pas • • he Senate 17 tO 7, and the House by 62

The cattle of the terrible air *as the ex
plosion of a steam boiler, th e Oreby setting fire
to a large steam, saw-mill, anll levelieg in a
feW moments, , the entire apructure to the
ground. . I
It occurred in Messrs. Greasy Sz Wales
steam saw-mill which is situated between
Tenth and Eleventh and Sansom and Medical
streets. The building fronts on Samson street,
and runs hack to Medical street, a small street
about half way between Walnut and Sansom
streets : That portion of the mill fronting on
San'stom street is a two-story brick structure
used as a storage place and for office purposes.
Directly to the rear of this building is a sort
of basement, in which were located two boil
ers ,used for the purpose of supplying steam
to the saw-mill. To the rear again of those
boilers was a five-story brick building used as
the saw-mill and occupied in every part, ex
cept the fourth story, by Messrs. Greasy
Ward, the fourth story being used by Miller &
Co., who were were engaged iu preparing
blocks for calico printing. The fifth story or
main building belonged to the Graham estate.
It appears that about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon the engine ceased wprking, and the
engineer went to King's Machine shop, to ob
tain the necessary material to pack the cylin
der. Over an hour was spent. in this packing
process, and the engine was again started. The
enzineer made some remarks to the fireman,
about the engine, when the latter said the en
gine was going with only a pound of steam
on. A few momenta after this the boiler ex
ploded with terrific effect, creating such a re
port that it could bodistinctly heard for squares
around. So violent was the explosion that
the boiler was rent from end to end and coth
pletely destroyed. The three of the explosion
broke down the northern wall of the rive-story
building and
.in a .few moments the entire,
structure was a heap of ruins and a mass of
flames. Just before the building fell, flames
were seen issuing from the third floor. Im
mense flames of black smoke arose and envel
oped not only the entire building hut the im
mediate neighborhcxxl.
At the time of the catastrophe there were
about thirty workmen engaged in the building,
all of whom were precipitated into the chaotic
mass caused by the explosion, and with not a
moment's warning to effect an escape. It is
impossible to tell at pressent exactly how
many were killed or wounded, but ten bodies
were taken out of the ruins during last night,
and the search continued by the noble firemen
all night.
SEARCH FOR TUE ROUTES
The firemen were on the ground with great
promptness, and as soon as it became under
stood that so many human beings were in the
burning mass, they labored with the most
praiseworthy zeal to rescue the sufferers. The
task was attended with great difficulty, for al
though the fire was got under about seven
o'clock, and did not extend to surrounding
property. it Was only by dint of sawing through
joist and removing heavy obstructions that
the bodies, some of which could be seen and
othdrs heard, could be got at.
Dpring the early part of the evening enough
progress had been made in clearing away the
debris to reach same of the dead bodies, al
though one, dead body and some three or four
persons who were seriously injured were got
out while the fire was raging.
LATER. —Up to Saturday evening, 22 dead
bodies were Islam from the ruins, and $ per
sons are still missing. Seven were wounded.
A Ceostwai.t is COLOMBIA. — The- 'United
States of Colombia appear to be in a very un
settled and unsatisfactory condition. Mos
uueaA, the President, cannot agree with the
Congress, and he has taken the usual South
American remedy for his troubles, by over
duo wing the CongTes, putting the members
under arrest, and declaring himself Dictator.
He has declitred the Republic to be in a state
of war; that the Senators and Reelresentatives
are traitors to the &mntry, and he has recon
stituted the Supreme Court so as to suit his
own views. Whilst doing all which upsets
the authority of the States in the central gov
ernment, he has issued-an address to the oft
-tars of those States, assuring them that he
will preserve peace and secure their rights.—
That much being prolaised, he invites them
to elect new Senators and Congressmen, to
help him to carry the Government in his own
style. The Static; have not yet responded ;
but inasmuch as, their members in the Colom
bian Congress have been violently deprived of
their franchises, it is not likely that there will
be any marked enthusiasm in favor of obedi
ence to the command. A war between . the
States and the Federal Government seems in
evitable; and, in that case, as the Federal
Government cannot. be sustained without the
support of the States, the prospect does not
seem very promising for the Dictittor.—Phil.

EVER-GREEN . CEMETERY.. "co men•'
tiOned last week that at- the meeting qt the
LW:udders of the Cemetery, the old Board
were re-elected withoutoppotation. HENRY
COMFORT. Esq., was President of the meet•
ing, and Capt. A. M. lirrirEs. Secretary.
The Report of the operations of last year
was read and as follows:
THE ANNUAL REPORT.
During the past year the BOard of Mana
gers have made an effort to :edam the debt
of the Association, by soliciting the surren
der of Stock, and also subscriptions by Lot
holders payable either in money or • by the
surrender of notes heretofore given by the
Association, to holders of Stock in exchange
*for their certificates, as also notes given to
the several Congregations in lieu of their
stock subscribed,
with a view to a proyision
for the burial of t heir poor.
We are pleased to be able to report, that
we have 'Met with very good success, and
that we feel satisfied that more time being
devoted to the enterprise, much more ialuld
be accoinplished.
Our ettOrt has, thus far, resulted in secur
ing the surrender to the Association, of notes
given in exchange for certificates of Stock,
and also or original certificates of Stock,
amounting together to $741.:.:3, and of obtain
ing subscriptions to amount of 0404.56, mak
ing a total of 01,145.79, which deducted trout
the aggregate amount of debt reported last
year ,:,4,907.1i2, with the interest since accrued
Making reduces thhg debt. to $1,989.2S
and itt Mill Mull to the above 6 Shares ofStock
have been surrendered in the purchase of
lots amounting with interest to $91.70.
The Board have an earnest convietion that
toe surviving friends of those wile are in
terred in our Cemetery, should not permit
that saered ground to remain longer inetim
wred by a debt, but should it once resolve
united effort to liquidate ant extinguish
the indebteoness,
It is whelp• luipractieaule to accomplish
this rnmi the funds to he obtained from the
',lle 01 lots.
By reicrence to the books it appears that
the entire receipt-:, both from sales of lots
and in nn pertnits for interuleuts, have been
Lanny sllftieient to pay current annual ex—
reuses.
The Board therefore encouraged by their
pastUccess, are hopeful that the consumina
tion-sO much to be desired, needs only a little
more active work and earliest co-operation
of all those who are interested in the preser
vation and succeNs of ever-green Cemetery,

'Every Soldier in the Pennsylvania
ReserVes remembers Captain HENRY J. FUD
DLE, Assistant Adjutant General on General
McCALL's Staff. He died in Richmond in
hospital, of wounds received in one of the
battle of 18432, leaving behind him a reputa
tion for every virtue which distinguishes the
best types of soldierly character. We observe
that his widow has recently endowed, at
Charlotte, N. Carolina, a School for the train
ing of preachers and catechists of the African
race; and that the School has been named
TILE HENRY J. BIDDLE MEMORIAL INsri-
Ty'rE. The School is to be opened within
two months, and will be a perennial fountain
of good influences. Mrs. BIDDLE who has
thus identified her own and her husband's
name with a noble charity, was formerly a
Miss BAIRD of Carlisle.
