The Huntingdon Journal J R. DURBORROW, J. R. Dennonnow—Dcor Sir :—I h•tve 1,, in requested to write to the public, through the eol umns of your paper, with regard to ley trip a few da i s since. It was said it would re quire six or eight days, by the business to,o of the country, to make the round trip an I attend to all the items of business mentioned en our programme—it took us just three and or.e-half days. On Monday afternoon I drove to Bedford from Wolfsburg, attended to my business at the Bank of Hartley, Russell etCo.,—met four other pat ties and dispatched business with them—drove to our old and tried friend, Mr. Edward Hartley. His son drove us to Everett Station, we rut in our trunk and secured our ticket for Hunt flgdon.— Having 40 minutes, we drove to Rer. Donahoe's and found him preparing to travel F.,A,v,17,1 sent our little friend home with instructions to meet us Wednesday at Mt. Dallas station. tr,:il er D. and your humble servant talked shout Church, State and national affairs, when his amia ble wife reminded him of the fact that it was time to go io the station, in order to be ready for the train. Wo took the timely hint and oiler bidding farewell, with tears in our eyes, we start ed. You see, we had failed to get our lives insu red and it would have been a dead loss, had we met our fate while away. We reached the Station in good time and when the old Iron-horse came along, we secured scats in the rear car, and soon found ourselves en route for Huntingdon. Brother Donahue is a very genial, sociable companion, rather of a business turn of mind, which suits our taste, "up to nature." At 6:30 we arrived in Huntingdon. Rev. D. rested, while I ran up to see our old friend, Mr. Durhor row, and all in the establishment that we could lay eyes on, for they are all good fellows, except one, Miss —, who is excellent, superb, and so on. I called on Mr. D. P. Gwin and several other business men, some with whom I had business en by State Department, and . such reparation de- I gagements.

Bar Hoo. John Cessna, of Bedford, has re- ceiTed th• appointment of Assistant Attorney General. John's life-long motto has been “Let justice be done though the heavens should fall.” How appropriate that he should be stowed away in this Department ! ler. The allegation that we have written the Dutch, Irish and other communications, which have appeared in our paper, from time to time, is false. We have not written an anonymous communication for the JOURNAL in eighteen months, perhaps not for two years. The charge is a malicious lie I Mir The second Wednesday in April is de voted to tree planting in Nebraska, and is known as Arbor Day. The practice of setting apart ono special day in the year to tree plant ing is a good one, and should not be confined to Nebraska alone. We have devoted the last fifty years to the extermination of our forests ; and it is time, now, to begin systematically to replase them, stir The late elections in Connecticut, Mi chigan and Ohio were matters of considerable interest. The former went Democratic by a small majority. The Republicans lost two members of Congress, while they made an nn- important gain of a dozen or so of members of the Legislature. The contest was an ezci- ted one, and was conducted principally on the policy of the Administration. In Ohio and Michigan the Republicans maintained their own, and in many places made important gaius ,i• Connecticut, says the Lewistown Ga- zetit, for some years, has been going Demo- cratic by considerable majorities, as will be seen by the figures given below : Ingersoll, D. dk L. 45,05911nger5011, D. &L. 46,755 Haven, Rep., 39,245 Harrison, Rep., 39,973 Smith, Tem., 2,541 Smith, Tem., 4,973 Ingersoll's plurity in 1873, 5,814 ; majority over all, 3,347. Ingersoll's plurity in 1874, 6,782 ; majority over all, 1,809. The election on Monday shows a result not materially different from last year—the Demo- crats claiming a gain on Congress, and the Republicans gains in the Legislature sijr- The Pittsburgh Commercial thinks the disturbances in the mining region of this State are bad enough, in all conscience ; but they are not half as bad as representsd in the dis patches seat by frightened operators over the wires. They are mainly confined to the region about Hazleton and to one or two spots in the Lehigh Valley. In the Wyoming Valley the miners are all at work, and in Schuylkill county, the centre of the present strike, there appears to be but little violence. The milita- ry have been called out to Hazleton, not be- cause of any outbreak, but through fear of one. The Sheriff of Luzerne county appears to be a white-livered craven, who is afraid to move his hand unless backed up by the mili tary; and the latter have been put in the field solely because be is too big a coward to use the powers he legally possesses. If Luzerne county could manage to get men to fill its civil offices, instead of such milksops as this Sheriff Kirkendall, there would be as little use for the military, in that county, as there is in the quieter portions of this State. THE MINERS' STRIKE. The difficulties with the miners, in the an thracite region, have not been settled yet.— We do not pretend to fully understand the nature of the troubles, but it looks to us as if the question, when narrowed down, was sim ply that of one of "Will you labor or will you not ?" If miners cannot live at the wages which operators offer how is it they can live without any labor whatever? And if they will not labor, then they should be compelled to stand aside and not interfere with those who will. The whole country is in distress to-day because these men persist in interfering with one of the great branches of industry, and is itrassonable to suppose that the millions will quietly suffer because a handful of men, obstinate and unreasonable, bare determined to restrain trade ? No, no. If these men will do nothing, they must stand aside and their places be filled by those who will labor, and the severest penalties must be visited upon those who attempt to interfere with the latter. These obstinate and selfish people will contin- ue standing in their own light until Chinamen, negroes, or some other altogether different class of men takes their places. Last week these men struck in the Broad Top region and are on a strike now ; after baring been out of employment almost all winter they no sooner find themselves at work than they resolve to strike. After being idle ell winter they now propose to lie idle all summer. Can there be any patience with such stupidity ? Half wa- ges, one would think, would be preferable to no work at all. We have always advocated the interests of the working classes, and shall continue to do so, but such downright folly is unbearable Notes of Travel. BEDFORD, PA., April 9. IF7 EDITOR At 7:30 r. as., wo were on board the train for Harrisburg. We had a very pleasant and profita ble e,nversation about the past, present and fu ture. Arrived in Harrisburg by 12:15 r. m. We took a double room at the Bolton House, but our janitor had failed to keep up a fire, however, we rang a bell and he soon put in an appearance, re minding vs of a "dark cloud." "Well, gentlemen, what do y)u wish ?" I pointed to the stove, and said: "Fire, to make and keep us warm." It was made and we were soon in the land of Morpheus. At 5 o'clock we started out for a walk. We went out past the new Reservoir and 6' rantville. Hess is where East Harrisburg is beautifully laid out. It was originally a splendid farm. owned by Mr. David Mumma, a first-class lawyer of Harrh!l,urg. Mr. 11. laid out his magnificent farm in town lots and plots of an acre, and some in plots of two scree. Two years ago your humble servant pi:r agged a very valuable plot of one acre, near Grantville, and while there are six large lots, he proposes to make a street on the other end and side of the plot, then put an alley between and cut up into smaller lots, and build tasty and sub stantial houses. This town and vicinity is des tined to be connected with Harrisburg, in a very few years, and will evidently make present pur chasers more wealthy. We contemplate taking another plot soon, and perhaps our friend Donahue will go and do likewise. Ile was much pleased with the locality, prospect, &c. We then returned to Harrisburg and called upon Mrs. Agnes Kemp, who owns a very valuable piece of land between the river and the canal—the railroad running through the tract and making the land very val uable. I wish my readers to remember what I may say with reference to this farm, and make note of it. Mrs. Kemp has had land surveyed, laid oat in avenues, streets and alleys. The cite is a very excellent one. We should judge, by the time and general appearance of the route, that it was two miles out of town to this property. It is known and called by the name of "Addition to Harrisburg." This land is more level, more fer tile, and more valuable than the Mumma property, but some distance farther away from the city. There is one feature of business that gives Mrs. Kemp's property an advantage over others : There is a very material difference in the quality and character of the buildings going up on it in different parts and in its vicinity. In fact, from Harrisburg to this point, along the river, and from this property on and along the Railroad, to some considerable distance above, there arc coins very nice buildings going up and it is three miles above a very r.leo and growing village, which makes it much more valuable. We then got in our carriage and drove back to the Bolton House. From thence we proceeded to the station—Rev. Dohahue en route for Newport and I for Philadelphia. I arrived thereat GIA in., and found my way in a buss to the r.csidence of Dr. Dunmire. Next day I took dinner with my old, familiar friend, on Mt. Vernon St., R. M. Burney; took supper with D. C. Cleaver, 19th Spring Garden Street. After supper, called on Dr. Gross, and made our way back to the Depot in time for the 11:55 P. M. train for Harrisburg. Arrived here in time for breakfast, secured an agency from David Mumma and Mrs. Kemp for selling lots, and found ourselves in Bedford by next day at 11:40 a. m. More anon. Yours Respectfully, J. W. ELY. [Front Our New York Correspondent.] Our New York Letter. THE TRIUMPH OF THE EXPRESS COMPAN IES-DEATH OF A GAMBLER-BEECHER -WHAT TO WEAR-BUSINESS. NEW YORK, April 12, 1875. THE TRIUMPH OF A MONOPOLY. In a former letter of this series, I con gratulated my readers upon their deliver ance from the clutches of the express com panies—the most odious monopoly that curses the country, except the telegraph. The action of Congress in instituting the parcels system was what gave the people relief. Under that law, a package of any thing that could safely go in a mail bag, weighing not more than four pounds, was taken anywhere for a rate per ounce that made it passible to order books, small arti cless of dry goods, and many other things by mail at less than half the rates of the grasping express companies. The effect upon the business of the country was immediate and beneficial.— The people ordered books, small parcels of dry goods, etc., three times as frequently as before, and the system was found to work admirably. Of course the express companies did not like it, for they were losing the most profit able part of their business. They knew exactly how to do it, and they did it They had a lobby in Washington, and at the close of the session a bill was smug gled through that doubled the postage on merchandise parcels, binding the people hand and foot, and turning them over to the tender mercies of their natural ene mies And the Postoffice Department can now find no authority whatever for miti gating any portion of the injury,and so we must make up our minds to sweat till tha next Congress sits. The merchants and publishers of New York are suffering intolerably from this villainous law and the rulings that sus tain it, for it knocks the parcels business out of the city altogether. Possibly the next Congress will give us relief, and pos sibly not. In the meantime, the people ought to make themselves heard in the matter. It is an outrage that so great a boon should be taken from us at the bid din - af two or three bloated corporations. It was i nfamous in Congress to permit such an outrage as the passage of the bill. TILE DEATH OF A GAMBLER The morning ; papers announce the death of Johnny Hill, better known in New York as "Cooley Keys." Cooley was one of the characters of the great city.. Origi• nally a mechanic, he became a gambler early in life and ran the usual race of men in that profession. He owned many gam. bling houses and made large gains of mon ey thereby. But of late years he has taken the wrong side of the table, and has lost as rapidly as he formerly made. His chief claim to distinction was his dress. He was, probably, the best dressed man in New York. He never wore a pair of boots more than one day, his shirt-frontE were made in Pm is at a cost of $250 per dozen, and he bought gloves in quantities of sls'!o and $2OOO, wearing never less than four or five pairs a day. — Cooley was a picture on Broadway. But he died poor, as all such men do. Thousands and hun dreds of thousands poured through his hands, but what comes over the devil's back goes under his belly. He died in a garret, in abject misery, with but the barest necessaries of life, and was buried a pauper. He had his little day of fierce pleasure and then came his night. And what a night ! As poor Cooley lay upon his wretched cot., in the pains of mortal sickness, I wonder if he did not think it w6uld have been better fur him if he had followed his original business of brass cast ing and lived and died a decent man.— Precious little comfort could a dying man get out of memories of a life made up of cards, prostitutes and fine clothes. BEECIIER At last the great Beecher is on the stand to testify in his own behalf. His friends claim that his testimony will end the trial, that be will so completely estab lish his innocence and so fix the theory of of conspiracy on Tilton and Moulton as to drive those persons out of Brooklyn and into dishonorable obscurity. They say he has his testimony so arranged as to make it invulnerable; and that when he gets through, he will shine in the firmament like the morning star. This may be true, but if so, why, in the name of all that is decent, didn't he swear before ? Why did lie wait till now, and permit this terrible waste of filth to owe in one everlasting flood out 6f that court room and overspread the entire country ? There has been nothing in the nastiness of the past four weeks that has had the slightest bearing upon the question ; and if Beecher has so sure a- thing as his friends say, he might have stopped it all. S 3 far, his testimony has amountel to nothing, except the most positive and ,3tn phatic denials of his guilt. He repeats in substance only his former statements though his manner impresses the people wonder fully. His case looks better than it did a week ago. WHAT TO WEAR There is more taste and less extrava gance year by year in the unfolding styles for women's dress. This spring more than ever it is possible for a lady to look well with slight expense. Fine, durable, wool goods for early wear, in modest, pleasing shades, are seen on the streets, and for warm weather, equally durable and finish ed linens will be worn. Firm yet soft debates are staple fabrics, either in plain brown and iron gray, or in distinct shaded plaids of the same color, brightened with a bar of white, which marks them from the characterless plaids worn last fall.— French suits of modest cost are of plaids, the black and white shepherds' check be ing the freshest favorite, overskirt and sleeves of striped stuff or silk—a fancy which will hardly be as popular here as the contrast beetween plaid and plain sur faces. The improvement in cotton fabrics in the last five years is admirable; the soft percales and cambrics having next to the beauty of silk in finish and all its delight in color. By constant, careful research, manufacturers are able to fix delicate dyes on cotton, and the mauve, primrose, apple green, rose-pink, and sky-blue of percales are as charming as the same shades in costlier fabrics, to which they have been confined. These cotton goods will be large ly worn outside of cities where more pre tentious dress is called for, and the Oxthrd cheviots, in blue gray with a thread of pink, or carnation in the stripe, will be worn on the promenade as freely as they are in Passy and Neuilly, suberbs of the centre of fashion, or at the watering-places abroad. For a charming caprice, now that lace is the favorite trimming for every thing, the fine blue, violet, and slate•gray percales are figured as if a dotted net were laid over the surface, and the border is printed in Mechlin or thread-lace designs a finger wide. To suit the fashion of English embroidery, with which linens and grenadines were covered last year, other percales are figured to imitate the open work wheels, daisies and sprigs with bor der like rich embroidery. But taste must choose that where borders are used at all they shall be on solid color. Linens of manilla color, like the paper of' that name, will be worn to an unlimited extent, for the new importations have soft, lustrous texture, as if mixed with silk, and are beautifully varied with woven lace stripes in white or self color, brightened with sky-blue or brilliant crimson threads. Linen grenadines and Algerian cloth have the beauty of silk, and promise to wear as well. Damask, quilted, and plaid grena dines will supersede plain ones to some ex tent, though the latter muJ, always keep the good opinion of women of taste. But the bonnets, the bats rather, are so light, so summery, so elegant, they rejoice the eye. Pale chip, soft and crushy, of the fashionable manilla, cream, or silver gray shades, takes the place of straw and silk, with brims wide enough to shade the sight, gracefully looped or turned up with clusters of flowers, among which appear knots of soft twilled satiny silk. The taste is to trim with a few folds of bright violet, blue, or carnation velvet, tilixed with loops and twists of this white Bros d'Orient, as the satiny silk is called. Around the brim cluster loose petaled white roses, with a tinge of pink, rich violet garlands, and all the wealth of June blossoming. Our spring is here apace. BUSINESS Is still reviving, that is to say, it is getting better and better every day. The hotels are crowded and packed, and the mer chants arc selling large and satisfactory bills. It seems as though the worst was over, and that from this time business will be good, and thus we shall see something of the old time prosperity. There is no reason why it should not be so. There is plenty of money in the country and the people were never richer. PIETRO. The Coal War. The Action of the Miners at Hyde Park— Large 11/Vority Against a Strike— Munkets for the Soldiers—Everything Quiet in Luzerne County, PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 9. General Wag ner. commanding the second brigade, of which the first regiment is a part, and Captain Richard R, Campion, quarter master of the saw.) this morning called upon Hon. Asa Packer, President of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, and upon George B. Newton, Treasurer of the Coal Operators' Association,-and after con sultatian these two authorized Messrs. Wagner and Campion to purchase at their expenses 400 blankets. This was at once done, and the purchases will go up on the afternoon train, reaching Hazleton tonight. This action on the part of President Pack er and Treasurer Newton is highly com mendable. ACTION OF THE MINERS. WILKESBARRE. April 9.—The result of' the miners' meeting in Hyde Park last evening is that all mines suspended work to day at noon, and they will vote by bal lot at the public meeting to-night whether work shall continue or suspend. The sit uation. in and around this city remains un changed. A convention of delegates representing. the Delaware and Hudson, and the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western mines, wa held,in Providence yesterday for the discus sion of the labor question. The meeting was strictly of a private character, but it is safe to suppose, however, that it was held in the interest of the Miners' National ai soeiat A STRIKE DEFEATED BY A LARGE MA JORITY CRANTON, April 9.—A vote by ballot was taken to-day in several mines of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western rail road, of this city, to decide the question of a strike and resulted in a vote of 1512 for, and 319 against work. The result has giv en unbounded satisfaction. Hyde Park, where the vote was taken, rules the Lackawanna region, and fi)r the present there will be no strike in this vi cinity. During a conversation with a re porter of the Scranton Republican this evening a coal operator from the upper end of the valley expressed the highest esteem for the sensible action of the men, and added that there was now a noble op portunity for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad company to do good act by giving the inen not only the advance, but also the back pay to which it would entitle them from the first of the year. - It would, he said, be the means •f pre venting strikes in the Lackawanna region for twenty years to come. Perhaps they will now advance their wages, said the re porter. In recognition of their sensible conduct, I think, was the reply, that they would if they dare, but the combination of operators renders such action impossible. You may be sure that they will not lose sight of the manner in which the men be haved themselves. Another operator and experienced man in mining matters said if he were Mr. W. R. Storrs, the company's agent, he would now make a strong appeal on the behalf of the men of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company. In every branch of the business, the opinions expressed are the same, and the miners of Hyde Park, by their upright and manly conduct, have wrung from friend and foe alike the ex pression that they have dune wisely and well. Battle with the Indians Desperate Fight with the Cheyennes—The Killed and Wounded on. Loth Sides NEW YORK, April 11.—A special dis patch from General Pope to General Sher idan, just received, has the following re port from Colonel Neil, commanding at Cheyenne agency : INDIAN TERRITORY, April 6-1 p. m. —A hostile Cheyenne prisoner was being ironed when he jumped and ran from the guard. He was immediately fired on, and eight shots were fired from the hostile Cheyenne camp, when the whole of the men, women and children deserted their camps, and the men occupied a command ing sand hill across the river. _ _ Captain Lafferty's company of cavalry followed them and the Indians opened fire with a number of rifles which they had concealed on the sand nills and immedi ately attacked them. I arrived on the ground and fought them from 2 p. m. un til dark with three companies of cavalry, oue of the Sixth and two of the Tenth, and a Gatling gun. The Indians held their position all night. We charged their strongly entrenched position three times, once when mounted. We had to dismount and charge on foot, and here I had a great many men wounded. I discovered at - day-break this morning upon opening fire that during the night the Indians had left, and their trail went west of the North Fork. I have ordered two companies of cavalry to pursue and attack these Indians as soon as they feed their horses and men and get into the sad dle. We have got three dead Indians and suppose more are killed and wounded. I had sixteen of our men wounded, four se verely, and four horses killed and several wounded. I have the aunty-two hostile Cheyenne prisoners safe in the guard house and ironed. Yesterday at five P. M. I sent a courier to Capt. Mack en route to this place, and asked assistance from Fort Gill and the friendly Cheyenne and Arra pahoes who took no part in the fight. I am afraid the hostile Indians who have gone west will make a junction with the thirty-seven who are on the Canadian fron tiers near Antelope Hills. General Pope telegraphs General Sheridan that twelve companies of cavalry, and as many infantry companies as can be used, have been put iu motion against these Indians from all direc tions, and as the Indians are nearly desti tute, having neither horses nor food and very little ammunition, it seems unlikely that they can get away.
