The Democratic County Conven
tion of Allegheny' county, held last
week, refused to endorse President
Johnson as a candidate of the party
for re-election.
TIIE correspondence between Gon.
Grant and President Johnson relative
to the - removal of Gon. Sheridan is pub
lished in the dailies of this morning.
Wo.will publish it next week.
7 Vfe . iwedict that if over General
Grant is a candidate' for the Presiden
cy he will bo the candidate of the people
outside of the two party organizations
as they ails now organized. • Just such
a candidate the interests of the whole
country, demand.- •
Solomon .eald that "there is a
time to keep silence and a time to
speak." The radical press thinlethat
Grant's tithe to speak has arrived. The
Democratic f)res.s are satisfied with
Grant's silence so hing as ho obeys
the orders'of the President. Thus, far
politicians have net been able to smoke
the General out.
DEEPGeri. Grant, since ho has taken
possession of the War Department, has
been doing - good' work in the way of
"cleaning out" a large number of hang
ers7on, who have been receiving heavy
pay for' doing nothing. Grant is not
the kind of man to keep around him a
large family of politicians at the ex
pense of the people. Hundreds and
thousands of hangers-on should be dis
missed from the Government crib, and
we hope Grant will continue in the
good work ho has so earnestly begun.
If there were no Indians there
would be no Indian massacres or In
dian wars. -
If there had been no negroes there
would not have been a rebellion.
If there wore no negroes in existence
to-day there would be no Radical
party.
If there were no negroos in the "wood
pile" the Democracy would have less
capital to work with.
•If there were less "spoils" than honor
in- the success of candidates, there
would' be fewer applicants for office,
and less desire for success.
xay Quito a large number of gentle
men are anxious to fill the Presidential
chair the next term, but at present it
is impossible• to even guess which of
them stands the best chance. The ex
treme Radicals are not willing to ac
cept of any_ man as a candidate who
can net liow do open and clear record
in favor of their measures. Others of
the party are willing to take any man
who can bo elected and will secure to
them the fat offices and fat pickings.
Several gentlemen of the latter school
of politicians aro now working hard
for the inside track. With the Demo
crats there appears to - ho less anxiety
as to who shall be their candidate.
Grant appears to bo in the way of all
the candidates, and he shows no dispo
siticin to got out of their way. If the
Southern States should be so recon
structed as to give the•blacks the bal
ance of power in aPresidential contest,
they may claim and- may secure the
nomination of one of their own num.
ber for, the Vice Presidency. We pro
test against any such reconstruction or
arrangement.

R Bruce Petrikin of thie county, came
very near. being nominated on two or
three ballots, and would have been, - had
two or three of the conferees acted in
good faith. The gentlemen nominated,
however, for Senators, are said to be
good men and very popular in the

Horrible Cruelty to a Child.
There is living in Wynan's alley a
woman named Kate Briggs, living
with a man who claims to be her hus
band, -The woman, it is stated, has
served in State pritairl.: ,
This Kate Briggs has a child; an in
teresting little girl, nine years of ago,
named Eliza. The treatment of this
child by her mother (if she is her moth
er) is perfectly horrible, and scarcely
credible. She ties a rope around her
waist, and by this hangs her up, stark
naked, and with a heavy stick beats
her till her strength fails, often for
balf an hour at a time. It is said the
child's body is covered with lashes and
bruises from the treatment sho has re
ceived. The cries of tho little victim
are piteous, and are heard by, all the
neighbors around. Yesterday her moth
er whipped her for a full half hour,
and to stop her crying the neighbors
said sho tied a string tightly around
her throat, and 'came very near strang
ling her to death. The people around
protest against such• inhuman treat.
'dent, but Kate Briggs says "what is
Ur own she can do what she likes
with."
It is said the little sufferer often
comes running in the neighbors' houses
and begs them to send her off "some-
Where in the country where her moth
er will notiget at her and kill her. "Lit
tle .Eliza says her mother often wishes
she wqs dead and out of the way;
from what we ca learn , she is pursu
,ing the very course to accomplish• her
object. The little girl this morning is
scarcely able to walk from the injuries
she received yesterday.
[The editor of the Patterson Gwr
dian and the "people" who knew that
the child was receiving such brutal
treatment, we think, should be put
in the same boat with the "mother,"
for permitting for a single moment
such beastly treatment ofa child. They
could have saved the child from a con
tinuance of such treatment. Why did
they not interfere? The editor of the
Guardian should not expose himself
and his "people" to the world in such
an ugly picturo. Certainly all who
may road the horrible facts given
above, will not have a very favorable
opinion of a "people" of Patterson who
permits such treatment of a helpless
11 'ln the Now York Constitutional
Convention a proposition was under
consideration restricting the combina
tion of railroads, whereby great mo
nopolies become intreriched in a posi
tion adverse to the public welfare. In
the course of the debate ono member
said :
Where is Now Jersey to-day? She
ie the creature of a railroad corpora
tion. Where is Pennsylvania? Sho
has sold her canals to tho railroads,
and they have consolidated the carry
ing trade into their own pockets. Her
immense mineral wealth lies still hid
den in the cauth, kept there by tho av
arice of railrciad consolidation and mo
nopolies; Thp:sarne thing will happen
here unless some check is put upon the
avarice 0f0.4i great powers. If it be
not done, thei , •iron, hands of the rail
roads Will beJaid upon our own canals,
and the people, will suffer. * * *
The railroad would reach out their
iron hands rttpd grasp the entire com
merce of dies:State, obliterating other
channels of "`trade. They would rule
the Legislatu're - irrtime, and thus con
trol the interests and 'destinies of the
State.
.To day fliers' is no want of
combination sufficient to accommodate
the travel of the public. Nothing more
is needed, for this state of things will
last while travel demands it. Go back
to Pennsylvania. She once bad a beau
tiful chain of canals that answered all
her needs. In an evil day she parted
with her canals. True, it was stipula
ted that the parties who bought them
should not raise the tolls, but the rail
road power went clown to the Capital
and broke this agreement. What is
the result? In that State to-day it
costs $2,20 to carry a ton of coal one
hundred miles, whereas it only costs
twenty cents for the same distance in
this State.
A bettor day, through a wiser policy,
is in store for Pennsylvania. Her min
eral wealth and the wealth of her for
ests will yet be developed and find a
market. The discussion which this
question has had, and is having, will
inevitably produce action of the right
kind by the people, whose first step
should be the election of a Legislature
that will be devoted to their interests.

A NEW SWINDLING SCHEME.-I t
seems that mon who aro determined
not to work, but live at the expense
of others, have brains prolific with
swindling schemes whereby to increase
their pecuniary possessions. We learn
of another—a disgraceful act which
occurred but lately. •S man said to be
red-faced, red-whiskered, and pursy,
with the air of a grandee, came to
Philadelphia and obtained the servi
ces of about fifty Germans—who were
far from being in even moderate -cir
cumstances, and then out of work—to
pluck peaches for him in his ex
tensive orchards near Delaware City
Only too rejoiced to get something to
do, these fifty Germans gave their con
sent, - and a day or two since,
headed by their new-found employer,
entered the railroad depot, from which
they were to take the train to Delaware
City. Before entering the cars, our
largo faced but small hearted man
went to each of his employees, and
collected .5.1,25 :,co pay their fare as a
party, he averred. This sum each gave
willingly out of their magic purses,
which they hoped to well replenish
soon; and this individual received
about $65 in all.
Tho train started with the party,
and, when about five miles out, the
conductor came for his fare. The Ger
mans referred him to their employer;
but he, to their great astonishment,
was nowhere to be found. The whole
party were put off the train, and after
waiting long and anxiously for their
quondam friend and supposed benefac
tor, who never came, the truth burst
upon-them that they had been swin
dled out of what little they possessed,
and were many miles away from their
homes, with the darkness of night all
around them.—Philadelphia Roc/2112g

_ .
Removal of Stanton and Sheridan,
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Post telegraphs the follow
ing : „
"In a pleasant conversation of some
-length today with President Johnson,
I remarked that be ,was charged with
having removed Stanton in order
to obstruct the execution of the Recon
struction acts of Congress. Ho asked
what Mr. Stanton had to do with the
execution or non-execution of these
acts. These acts centred the power
in the hands of General Grant, and ho
had placed Grant over the War De
partment. A tic could not understand
how this ehango could be construed in
to a purpose to defeat the proper exe
cution of the Reconstruction laws. The
Presidentfurther remarked that at one
time General Grant strongly intimated
that unless Mr. Stanton was removed
he should be compelled to leave hero,
as he could be of no possible use, in
view of Mr. Stanton's overhearing and
dictatorial conduct. The President ad
vised him to have a talk with the Sec
retary of War, and perhaps they would
understand , each other bettor. He
agreed, however, with the General,
that Mr. Stanton ought to
,he removed,
and he then inquired of General G rant
if ho would take charge of the Depart
ment id the event of a change. The
latter expressed his entire willingness
to do so. I referred to the rumor that
the General had eventually protested
against the removal, and the President
frankly said such was the case; that the
General had Written him a very kind
but earnest private note, in which ho
had intimated his fears of anarchy, if
not revolution, should Secretary Stan
ton be superseded. Yet, as lie could
not appreciati) the General's fears on
this score, he lied directed the change.
I then told him that the same charge
was made against him for removing
General Sheridan, and that many sup•
posed his purpose was to prevent a due
execution of the law. ThiEi he thought
was quite as absurd as the other, as the
law was the same whether Thomas or
Sheridan was in command. What dif
ference could it make who executed
the law ? Co'u/d anyone question the
ability or patrioti.44 of Gen. Thomas?
I then asked why General Sheridan
was removed. Mr. Johnson said there
wore two good causes, but only ono
had been considered; the first one was
rather of a personal character, and had
been overlooked. The telegram of the
23d df June:which was so disrespectful
to the Executive, had been claimed by
General Grant to be a private telegram
to himself, and that no official notice of
its existence had ever yet reached the
President. But the second ground for
the removal of General Sheridan was
the exercise of powers ho did not pos.
sons, and the exercise of his legitimate
powers in an arbitrary and offensive
manner. I asked if he would be kind
enough to designate what acts ho in
cluded under the latter clause. Ho
said that the.romoval of Gov. Wells
was entirely uncalled for and unjustifi
able. Gov. - Wells had placed at Gen.
Sheridan's disposal the whole civil ma
chinery of the State to aid him in the
execution of the Reconstruction acts.
Nor had the latter ever indicated or
pointed'out a single act or word of the
Governer which was calculated to em
barrass him in the proper execution of
his duty. On the other hand, General
Sheridan had. endeavored to execute
the law as a partisan, and had adopted
Radicalism as the only true test of loy
alty. His sole purpose seemed to be
to secure negro supremacy and de
grade the whites, and for such conduct
I doomed it my duty to relieve him
from that command. I inquired if ho
,did not think Governor Throckmorton
bad attempted to thwart the General
in a proper execution of the law. He
answered emphatically, "No: sir; the
records prove the reverse. The Gov
ernor of Texas also placed the whole
civil machinery of his State at the dis
posal of the military power, and aided
it in every way possible, except in the
manufacture of a radical majority of
voters,-and in securing negro suprem
any. This was • Gov. Threckmorton's
sinning, and for which he was arbitra
rily removed by General SheridaM"
said to the President that his views as
to the proper execution of the Recon
struction acts were not clearly under
stood by the people, and that I would
like to hear them. lie answered that
he could express them in a few words.
Ho desired a fair registration of all
qualified voters, withinit regard to race
or color. He did riot wish to give any
advantage to the White men, but much
less was he disposed to make them the
slaves to the negioes. Where the ne
groes had the majority, as in South
Carolina, ho wished them lb exercise
the power; where the'white vote Was
in the majority'as in Texas, ho desired
that white majority, to control.. He
wanted only the'law to be fairly exe
cuted with equal chances to all. This
was being denied them by Gon. Sheri
dan, and his manner and mode of act
ing was fast familiarizing the pooplo
with the tyranny of despotic govern
ment. I remarked that the public
would not be able to understand why
.ho struck down despotism in ono de
partment and yet suffered it to contin
ue in another. He replied that other
changes would be 'likely to follow very
soon. A proper investigation was bow
being made into the conduct of ono or
two other commanders who, it was
charged, were playing the autoerlit.
The President expressed the greatest
apprehension as to the future of our
Government, yet said ho still relied on
the good sense and patriotism of the
people. In his speech in the United
States Senate, in December, 1860, Mr.
Johnson said ho had denounced the
the party who would break up the
Government in order to preserve sla
very, and he had also denounced those
who would destroy the Government in
order to abolish slavery; he was equal
ly opposed to both extremes now, and
his only wish was for a speedy return
of fraternal relations among the States."

The South and the Presidential Eleo-
tion.
Whether the South will have any
participation in the next Presidential
election is more than any human being
can tell just now. But it is well to
note the signs of the times in relation
to the matter, and time our people
should be kept posted up, so that if
the opportunity should be presented
to them, they may, to some extent, ho
cognizant of political movements.
Ono of the most significant. indica
tions of political tendencies is to be
found in the fact that the Mobile Times,
it genuine conservative journal, has
nominated a ~U nion Conservative
ticket" for the Presidency and Vico
Presidency of the United States. Its
candidates aro Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
for President and Senator W. P. Fes
sendon for Vice President. The term
"Democratic" is dropped, and "Union
Conservative" substituted. And the
change is a good one. The Northern
Democrat!) have no claim as a party to
the unreserved support or adhesion of
the Southern Conservatives, and for
the latter to support a party (if they
should over get in a position to do so)
whose success' is extremely doubtful,
would be a sacrifice which the Democ
racy of the North has no right to ex
pect. They have no claim of gratitude
upon their former allies in the South,
for they made common cause with the
power which lirought the latter into
her present miserable . condition They
abandoned theeause of State rights,
for it is not to be denied that that
cause was ono of the most prominent
in the late sectioned struggle.
it is, then, the part of wisdom'on the
part of the Southern people 'not to
place any confidence in the remnant of
the once powerful Democratic party of
the North. It is powerless to accom
plish any good as a party, and it would
bo merely wasting any political strength
the South may have in the future to
attempt to bolster it up. The honest
restoration of the Union, and the sup
port of measures for its preservation,
aro the only prominent issues of any
value now to the Southern people. To
attain these and kindred incidental
measures, there must he a union or
combination of Conservative men
throughout the country, under the load
of some prominent man. Gen. Grant
may be their chosen representative,
and to him we are disposed to believe
the people of the South—the Conser
vatives, wo mean—would have no ob
jection, for there is but little doubt ho
would be mighty to aid in the restora
tion of our distracted nationality.

this fact it was deemed highly impro

whether General Sheridan will be per

to the command. It is rumored that
General Hancock will be selected for
the po t ittion.

Give the Girls a Chance.
The New York Sun has some sug
gestions in regard to the employment
of females, which will apply with equal
force hero- and elsewhere as in
Now York. The Sun expresses the
conviction that fully three-fourths of
the retail stores in that City might em
ploy young women in the capacity of
clerks, and this, wo are told, has been
demonstrated' y ample experience,and
conclusive evidence can be seen at any
time in certain stores whore female
clerks aro now employed. The editor
says :
"The latter are certainly as active,
industrious, faithful, and generally as
competent in every respect as male
clerks, while at the same time they
are willing to work for comparatively
small wages. Then, why is it that
their services are not more generally
called into requisition ? The propor
tion of female clerks in the class of
stores and shops where they might be
employed not one-twentieth of the
whole. Go into an up town dry-goods
fancy store and you will find plenty of
young men behind the counters, but
rarely the other sex. Now, there are
in this city, thousand of young women
dependent upon their own labor for a
living, who would be glad of 'an op
portunity to' obtain a situation in
the retail stores. They are now
obliged to work in manufacturing es
tablishments, or,elso to sew for a pit
tance aLhome—in either case finding
but little to make life enjoyable. Why
will not merchants 'and shopkeepers
generally try the plan of employing
female clerks ? 'We cannot account
for it, except on the ground of preju
dice—the sumo which nearly every
idea encounters that proposes and in
novation upon an established custom.
It has been customary to employ only
men for the business.of selling goods,
and the idea that they only must be
used is apparently deep seated in the
mind of employers. In' this age of en
lightenment, however, such prejudice
should not exist. Every person, wheth
er male or female, whits or black,
should be employed to the best advan
tage in every respect, regardless of how
things were hitherto. There_ is no
doubt that girls make good clerks,and
that they are well qualified to fill posi
tions that aro now occupied, by
men who might better be otherwise em
ployed. Therefore, wo say, give 'the
girls a chance."
TERRIBLE RAILROAD DISASTER IN
IRELAND.-A terrible railroad casualty
occurred at Bray Head, WickloW coun
ty, Ireland, August 9th. Tho express
train from Dublin for Wicklow, when
at the above named locality, ran off the
track and eight passenger coaches.
were precipitated into the sea. The
railroad at. that point runs along the
summit of a high bluff. The loss of
life was frightful. Only, ono person
on the whole train, a man named
Morris, escaped alive.
The scene of the disaster is the lofty
bluff known as Bray Head, which ri
ses almost ab , ubtly from the sea to the
height of many hundred feet, qua its
wild and savage beauty is a prominent
feature in the scenery of the &moil's
Dublin Bay. The railroad track is cut
in the solid reek at a groat height ab
ove the sea, to which there is an abrupt
descent. The curve is rather sharp
round the Head, and trains generally
run slow in gbing round, and passen
gers looking out of the windows see a
wall of rock on one side, and empty
air on the other, while far below the
waves may be seen breaking on the
shore. Few eau have visited the spot
without thinking, with a shudder of
horror, of the possibility of such an ac
cident has now occurred, 'and it al:
most seems impossible that, eyed one
passenger should have escaped. •The
cars must have fallen ,directly into the
sea, as, the rock is almost straight
,down, and there is but little margin at
the base.
